In her words, “I was about 24 years old when I lost my mom. I already had a family of my own but till date. It’s the worst experience of my life.

She had been ill but that didn’t make it any less painful. “Loosing a mom suddenly, needlessly and senselessly to some barbarians is just downright gut wrenching and utterly heartbreaking!’ “We still cannot tolerate ourselves in 2016.

They used to be somebody, and it seems they aren’t quite sure how to be nobodies again just yet. David Cameron and George Osborne killed three hours on Thursday drinking coffee in a Notting Hill cafe, but didn’t look as if they were enjoying their newfound freedom all that much. Michael Gove was snapped wandering morosely through a bookshop, presumably having realised he’ll have a lot more time for reading now.

In September this year, when a popular church in Nigeria collapsed and 116 people were killed, an urgent probe was ordered. Did this fatal collapse occur due to lack of attention given to the buildings structural design?

The structural design of a building is largely responsible for the security and safety of its occupants. According to a research it was recorded that the structures of majority buildings that have collapsed, were not supervised by experts.

A JOKE TAKEN TOO FAR – by Gen. Alani Akinrinade (Rtd).

As far as l’m concerned, there is nothing like senators in the federal republic of Nigeria as at today. What people refer to as senators, is merely a deceptive and illusory assemblage of national irritants, who deliberate daily on how to purchase new cars, build new mansions and buy fantastic ones abroad, arrogate a strange and unjustified immunity to themselves, get constituency votes for marrying new wives and servicing girlfriends.

9/11: FBI’s Final Report By Femi Abbas

Osama is not a product of Pakistan or Afghanistan. He is a creation of America. Thanks to America, Osama is in every home (today). As a military man, I know you can never fight and win against someone who can shoot at you once and then run off and hide while you have to remain eternally on guard. You have to attack the source of your enemy’s strength. In America’s case, that’s not Osama or Saddam or anyone else. The enemy is ignorance. And the only way to defeat it is to build relationships with these people, to draw them into the modern world with education and business. Otherwise the fight will go on forever.” ¯ Greg Mortenson (Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace … One School at a Time)

It is undeniable that there is a deafening clash of ideas regarding the fundamentals of nation-building in Nigeria. While one group insists on true federalism and demands restructuring of the country toward that end, another sees unitarism as the answer, as a former senator boldly argued some years ago. And though a third group rejects unitarism, it sees nothing wrong with the constitution. For this group, what is needed is strong and visionary leadership.

One voice advocates resource control and fiscal federalism. Another argues that the centre needs to corner the most resources. The pattern we have seen thus far suggests that whichever party controls the centre would see itself as the protector of the nation’s unity, and cannot be expected to give an inch, even when that inch can gain a mile in the journey to lasting unity.

A divided Nigerian Senate on Thursday denied plotting to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari, days after its members hinted that the plan was afoot as a response to an executive the senate sees as becoming increasingly disrespectful to it.

He spread out piles of beautiful Hausa hats and other accompanying adornments he had up for sale on the display shelf. Smooched in one of the stacks was a white “Awo” cap which caught my attention.

I had been combing around Nigeria for two years or so in search of this type of hat to match my embroidered Nigerian white Dashiki. When I sighted the white chapeau, I immediately detoured from approaching the boarding gate at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja.

Three-time African champions, the Super Eagles, have dropped nine places to the 70th position in the latest FIFA rankings released on Thursday. And as a result of the slide, Republic of Benin and Ugandan are now ranked above Nigeria.

The All Progressives Congress member representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Dino Melaye, on Thursday said he called Senator Oluremi Tinubu a stupid woman on the floor of the Senate during an executive session because she also referred to him as a dog and a thug.
