My lesson
Friday, May 30, 2014
This fateful Saturday morning, as I try to conclude my washing, I hear my phone beep but I ignore thinking it must be a notification from one of these social networks.
Two hours have passed, I have had a bath, eaten and about to take a nap when my phone beeps again. ‘Nice pix cutie’, ‘kfb’ the twitter notifications read… I was surprised to have been noticed because of my lack of involvement in social networks due to my tight schedule at work… curious, I checked his profile , it read ‘My name is Greg, I work with Exxon Mobil, a Christian and I am here to make new friends’ . Few seconds later I received a direct message from Greg. I got more interested as the conversation grew.
After weeks of chatting day and night we picked a
dinner date.
Excited, I showed up in my Josie Natori dress,
Jimmy Choo shoes and Louis Vuitton purse. Greg looked like a happy groom in his
black suit. Love filled the air as the whole of the five star hotel couldn’t
contain us. Greg treated me to the best first date ever and just when I thought
we had it all together, a pregnant woman and two little girls walked towards us
screaming ‘ Daddy!’ ‘Daddy!’ The scale fell of my eyes when this woman gave me
the slap of my life calling me a husband snatcher and all sorts. She dragged
Greg by his belt and threatened to pluck out my eyes if she finds me anywhere
around her husband as they walked out of the five star hotel…
It dawned on me the whole VIP treatment, expensive
food and drinks was on me when the waiter gave me our bill of 17,450 naira.
Confused, I tried to search through my purse as if I was expecting to find
money in it, then a lady on the next table calls my attention, showing me my
Payment Card that fell out of my purse earlier. Reluctant, I picked it up but
then it struck a chord, a hotel this big should offer e-payment options and so
I asked for a POS which was promptly provided. I was relieved, I was saved.
I guess I learnt my lesson…

'Old women still have sexual urges' - actress Taiwo Ajai-Lycett says
Friday, May 30, 2014
"I am an old woman in the play and in real life. I am 73. The society doesn't think older women exist anymore, nobody thinks they feel anything. The people around old women never realize they are going through a turmoil, nobody cares about them. So what I am trying to portray is that it's not over until it is over. That an old woman is still alive in more ways than one, they still have sexual urges, people forget an old woman is human. An old woman enjoys her sexual life more when she no longer thinks about children's school fees, when the children have all gone to their husband's houses or in some cases the boys have married and it remains only the old woman and her husband. It never crosses our mind that these old parents can still get on whenever they like. Do you know that when an old man realizes he is free from child bearing, he becomes promiscuous and they are susceptible to all kinds of diseases. But the old woman is confined to a corner in the house, nobody thinks she is still actually active" she said

Presidential fact-finding committee visit Chibok
Read part of
the statement after the cut...where's the pic of them there though?
"Members of the committee visited the burnt-out structures of Government Secondary School, where the girls were abducted. The receiving party conducted members of the committee round the grounds of the school. The principal, vice principals, matrons of the hostels, as well as security guards and cooks were earlier debriefed by the committee in Maiduguri. The committee later held an interactive session with the Chibok communities on the school premises. At the meeting, Chairman of the Fact-finding Committee, Brig.-Gen. Ibrahim Sabo (retd.), who spoke with misty eyes, said the committee came, first, to sympathise with the parents and other community members over the havoc of the insurgents. He assured the people of President Goodluck Jonathan’s concern about the fate of the abducted students, saying that the President was having sleepless nights. As we gather here today to see you wailing, by the grace of God, we will also gather here to dance and rejoice with you when the girls regain their freedom" it read
The spokesperson of the committee said the people were
elated to see them and asked that their message of hope and belief that
the girls would be found be delivered to the President. He said one of
the fathers whose 2 daughters are still in Boko haram captivity, Rev.
Enoch Mark asked that people should stop politicizing the missing Chibok
girls and also stated that the abduction was not a religious thing as
both religions were affected by the abduction.

Chibok Boy confesses to razing houses in Borno village for N2,000
Ibrahim had set three houses ablaze, had caused serious panic and was getting ready to destroy more homes when some brave villagers apprehended him when they realized it was a lone attack.
The youths had wanted to lynch the young boy when elders in the village intervened and he was instead arrested and taken to Sarkin Baka- renown hunter in Biu town, where he confessed to being instructed to set the houses ablaze. He then led the vigilante in the area to the man who claimed asked him to do it. Both were arrested and handed over to police in Biu town.
'There is nothing wrong in making a 30 year old a Minister but..' GEJ
While answering questions at an interactive session marking
Democracy Day at the International Conference center, President Jonathan
said he has no reservations about appointing a youth as a Minister but
said the elders must be around to guide the youth in carrying out the
responsibilities of a Minister. He sid young people need the
experiences of the elders to pilot the affairs of Nigeria.
"You talk about mentors. I'm not saying youths cannot do certain jobs. anybody from the age of 25 and above can do any job. I remember when Rivers state was created, I was a Rivers man before Bayelsa state was created. The first Rivers state Military Governor Diete Spiff was about 28years old when he was appointed the military Governor of Rivers state. Gowon when he became Head of State was about 33years old so my Governor and the Head of State were youths but they worked with elders because I remember the cabinet members of Rivers state then were very matured people working with Diete Spiff and that is why I remember one of our elders, Maitama Sule when he was speaking at the University of Port Harcourt, made the statement that young breed without the old breed will breed greed so you must mix. The best person to take care of a child may not be a child so you need somebody with some level of experience to mentor the youths. You cannot leave the teenagers there to get into the youth age before you mentor them. Start from them and the first person to mentor a young person is someone that has made some mistakes. Let us say a young lady, while in secondary school have affairs with a man and gets pregnant and had complications and couldn't graduate when her colleagues graduated. Along the line, she finds her path and goes back to the secondary school, completes her University. She can tell another young girl look this is my experience. Please don't go that way, see this is my experience. So a Minister of Youth development can be a very young person, anybody of 25years and above can manage that but the key thing is that in the cabinet we have only one youth. There is nothing wrong in making a 30-33 years a Minister of Petroleum or Finance if you are competent."
