I ran to God when I was named Head of State – Gowon
Former Head of State, General (Dr.) Yakubu Gowon (rtd), has revealed that when it became inevitable that he would become the Head of State of Nigeria, after the 1966 counter- coup, the first thing he did was to send everybody around him away, lock himself up and go on his knees to pray fervently for God’s divine grace to rule.
The ex-head of state and convener of Pray Nigeria Group and patron of Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN), made the disclosure in a brief remark on the topic, “Individual Accountability in Service,” adopted for the 9th annual luncheon of the special members forum of the BSN, at the Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos, last week.

Senator Ahmed Yerima Replies His Critics. Says nothing wrong in early marriage
Serving senator and former governor of Zamfara State, Ahmed Sani Yerima, yesterday amplified his support for early marriage when he stated that he could give out his six-year-old daughter in marriage, if need be.
Yerima had on Tuesday successfully prevented an amendment to the second part of Section 22 of the constitution by the Senate, which dwells on affirming someone as of age once the person is married, though the person could be lower than 18 years in age.
Yerima, who came under attacks in 2011 for allegedly getting married to a 13-yearold girl, yesterday replied his critics who have been lampooning him for promoting marriage for the under-age.

We've stopped having $-èx - PLS HELP
Most relationships go through phases where one or both partners have gone off s-èx, but there is no reason to think that the passion has gone forever. Once a pattern is established of having s-èx infrequently, or not at all, it can be hard to get back to a regular and satisfying love life but taking time to understand why you feel less like making love can hep you get your s-èx life back to how you want it.
Apart from simply getting bored with s-èx or losing the habit of making love, many practical factors can affect your feelings: illness, stress, over-tiredness, children who wake in the night or want to sleep in your bed. If you can identify with any of these, you will need to tackle the root cause before you can work on improving your s-èx life.

The 6 things he’s hoping you’ll do the first time you have $-éx
Treat it light-heartedly, don’t make a big deal and let him know it’s normal and you understand, and you’re set for open, honest, communicative s-éx.
Another week and another study (this one about sliders Vs deciders) about how likely we are NOT to survive the distance with our current partners. Which is utterly depressing in a glass-half-empty way.

FA: "A nation of perverts and paedophiles" - Femi Fani Kayode
They have my respect. However what transpired in the Senate chamber a few days ago was a great cause for concern for not just me but millions of Nigerians from all over the world. How an innocent and seemingly uninteresting, uninspiring and unimportant debate about when and at what age a Nigerian citizen could legitimately and lawfully renounce his or her citizenship turned into a referendum on paedophilia and child marriage I dont know. Yet sadly that is precisely what happened and ever since then the nation has been on fire.

5 Ways To Make Women Fall In Love With You
Getting women to fall for you is not as hard as it may seem. Making women feel a deep attraction to you doesn’t require expensive gifts, extravagant gestures or rock hard abs.
In fact, all it really requires is a little charm and a few good manners. Mastering the following 5 qualities will set you on your way to becoming the man women will be fighting for.
1. Present yourself as the ideal man
One of the worst mistakes a man can make is being insecure, desperate and intimidated-constantly seeking a woman’s approval. Women want the ideal man who is confident, self-sufficient and respectable. When you display these traits, along with maintaining strong eye contact, good posture and slow body gestures and movements, most women will take notice of you.

Man Raped 9 Year Old Girl To Death In Calabar; Says It Was 'Consensual'
The State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Calabar has arrested one Chijioke Nwakor for allegedly raping a nine-year-old girl to death.
20-year-old Nwakor confessed to have engaged Miss Alice Enej (9) in ‘marathon love-making.’ He also told the officer heading the CID’s homicide unit, Mr. Joseph Inuyashe, that there was a mutual agreement between him and the girl and that there was no form of force. He said,
“I used to see the girl everyday in Okuku-Yala, where I stay with my parents. I don’t know what pushed me last Monday to approach her. As I saw her playing with the three boys at Saint Patrick’s Primary School, Okuku football field, I called her and asked what she was doing there. I told her to go home and meet her mother.”
The advice took an amorous dimension when it started drizzling and Nwakor and Alice had to take shelter under one of the school buildings.

So, who killed Kudirat Abiola?
This should be the question on the lips of every man and woman of conscience, considering the acquittal last week of Maj. Hamza al-Mustapha, Chief Security Officer of ex-military dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha. Al-Mustapha, until his acquittal, had been in detention since 1999 for the murder of Kudirat Abiola, wife of M.KO. Abiola, winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election who himself died in detention in July 1998.
The state reception and effusive welcome party for al-Mustapha must be gut-wrenching for any Nigerian who lived through the horrors of the Abacha dictatorship. As Abacha’s Chief Security Officer, al-Mustapha was the point man of the murderous triumvirate that comprised Ismaila Gwarzo, National Security Adviser and Frank Omenka of the notorious Directorate of Military Intelligence. They had as their henchmen Barnabas Jabila (a.k.a Sgt. Rogers), Muhammed Abdul (a.k.a Katako), Alhaji Danbaba, and Rabo Lawal amongst others.
