Ribadu’s statement on Nigeria reckless –Presidency ( What Do You think ?)
The Presidency on Monday faulted a statement credited to a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, which likened Nigeria to a sinking ship.
It described the statement as reckless. The Presidency’s position was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati. Ribadu had in his address delivered at a public lecture organised by the Students’ Representatives Council of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State on Saturday, described Nigeria’s democracy as one full of tyranny.
But Abati described the statement as false, hypocritical and self-serving. He said far from being tyrannical as Ribadu alleged, Jonathan would continue to strengthen institutions of democratic governance in Nigeria, uphold the fundamental human rights of all Nigerians including the youth, and protect their right to elect leaders in free, fair and credible elections.

What do Men and Women Need from one another?
What's much more significant to me is that I will still remember the emotions I felt on the afternoon I obtained married and comparing it to how I'm today about my spouse, the sole difference is in the depth, quality and understanding, that are much richer, heightened and of a superior quality. I find this indeed something to celebrate. People have a tendency to ask couples who've been married for long periods what their secrets are. I usually find it a peculiar question because by virtue of the phrase secret, that would suggest it is not a thing you want to share. Besides, one couple's successful ingredients may not work for another couple.
