Photos: Protesters Storm Ministry Of Justice Over Pension Thief Sentence
Orubebe and Jonathan’s YES men
The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, must be close to President Goodluck Jonathan. At least, that is what he wants the President and some of us among the Nigerian public to believe. The Burutu-born politician prides himself as a prominent member of the so-called kitchen cabinet of the President. This larger-than-life posturing has often led many analysts to conclude that he speaks the mind of his boss. It is in this light that I want us to pause and examine the recent acrimonious media exchanges between the minister and the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, and collectively assess the implications on the polity.

Guys: 5 Ways To Know You Are Not Her MAIN Boyfriend
The following 5 signs are all giveaways that you’ve fallen into the “backup guy” trap. With a quick perusal of the list below, you should be in a good position to decipher when to continue your pursuit and when to walk away with your dignity intact.

However, if you don’t hear from her for weeks or months at a time, and all of a sudden she wants to hang out, take it as she’s just bored or is between boyfriends and there’s no one else to call.
2. She regularly cancels at the last minute
It is certainly fair to cancel plans occasionally for a legitimate reason, but if she flakes on you consistently and doesn’t try to be flexible with her schedule to free up time for you, it shows that she holds little respect for you at and that she doesn't want to commit in case something better comes up.
