The accident, which occurred at about 8a.m., according to eyewitnesses, said the trailer lost control when the driver tried to avoid hitting the FCT transport service bus at the second gate axis of Kubwa.
Driver of the truck, with number plates ABC 822 XJ, is now in police custody.
According to a police source, the remains of the deceased have been deposited at Kubwa General Hospital, while those with minor injuries have been attended to and discharged from hospital.
The source said an investigation had begun to ascertain the cause of the accident and owner of the truck.
He said the investigations would lead to discovering identities of the deceased, while their family members would be contacted as quickly as possible.

Why I Wasn’t Moved By Orubebe’s Outburst – Jega

 
Former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, said at the weekend that he was satisfied with the apology offered by former Niger Delta Minister Elder Godsday Orubebe over his behaviour during collation of last presidential election result.

Speaking with our correspondent in Ilorin, Kwara State, where he attended the 80th birthday ceremony of a former National Commissioner of INEC, Dr. Abdulkadir Oniyangi, Jega said he had since forgotten about the matter. It would be recalled that Orubebe who was the PDP agent during the last election accused Jega of bias.

Jega advised Nigerians to put Orubebe’s performance behind and move on in building on the gains of the last election which he said met the requirements of international best practices.

He said: “I think the Orubebe’s incident is behind us, and we should just move on and not be held back by it. I was made to understand that a day or two after the incident, Mr. Orubebe made a public apology through the news media and I think that is sufficient enough.

“I think the challenges for us include ensuring that statesmen act as they should. And under all circumstances, we must control our emotions and resist the temptation of making wild allegations which can disrupt a process as important as the election. But I think we all learnt something from the elections,” he added.

The former INEC boss who has now returned to the classroom said he was delighted to be back. He stressed that the commission should continue to work on the voters’ register.

Origin of the word "Hello" as Startup a phone conversation

 
ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL invented the telephone. But Thomas Alva Edison coined the greeting.
The word "hello," it appears, came straight from the fertile brain of the wizard of Menlo Park, N.J., who concocted the sonorous syllables to resolve one of the first crises of techno-etiquette: What do you say to start a telephone conversation?
Two contemporaries of Edison credited him with the word, but too vaguely for Allen Koenigsberg, a classics professor at Brooklyn College who has a passion for early phonographs and their history. Resolved to sort out the "hello" mystery, Mr. Koenigsberg embarked on a tortuous search five years ago that led him, finally and triumphantly, to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company Archives in lower Manhattan, where he found an unpublished letter by Edison. Dated Aug. 15, 1877, it is addressed to one T.B.A. David, president of the Central District and Printing Telegraph Company in Pittsburgh. Mr. David was preparing to introduce the telephone to that city.
At the time, Edison envisioned the telephone as a business device only, with a permanently open line to parties at either end. This setup raised a problem: How would anyone know that the other party wanted to speak? Edison addressed the issue as follows: Friend David, I don't think we shall need a call bell as Hello!
can be heard 10 to 20 feet away. What do you think? EDISON It was a word of destiny. Over at the laboratories of Edison's rival, Bell was insisting on "Ahoy!" as the correct way to answer the telephone. It was trounced by "hello," which became the standard as the first telephone exchanges, equipped by Edison, were set up across the United States and operating manuals adopted the word. The first public exchange,
opened in New Haven on Jan. 28, 1878, wavered between "hello" and the fusty "What is wanted?" in its manual. By 1880, "hello" had won out. Like the telephone, the punchy "hello" was a liberator and a social leveler. "The phone overnight cut right through the 19th-century etiquette that you don't speak to anyone unless you've been introduced," Mr. Koenigsberg said.
And "hello" was the edge of the blade. "If you think about it," he said, "why didn't Stanley say hello to Livingston? The word didn't exist." Neither did the simple and elegant "dude," so Stanley was thrown back on the formal "Dr. Livingston, I presume."
Mr. Koenigsberg became fascinated by the "hello" puzzle after reading a passage in Francis Jehl's "Menlo Park Reminiscences" (Edison Institute, 1937), in which the author, a former Edison employee, recalled the scene at Menlo Park in 1878:
"The shouting and hullabaloo inside the laboratory can only be imagined," he wrote. "Being hard of hearing, Edison went about his work unperturbed, while the rest of us were nearly deafened as 'Hello-hello-hello' re-echoed from corner to corner." If Mr. Jehl (pronounced Yale) is to be believed, then hello was being used well before the first citation in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1883.
Mr. Jehl wrote that Edison was first credited with inventing the word by Frederick Perry Fish, a president of A.T.&T., who said in 1907 that Edison came up with hello as a more efficient alternative to "Are you there?" or "Are you ready to talk?" "Well, Mr. Edison did away with that un-American way of doing things," Mr. Jehl quoted Mr. Fish as saying. "He caught up a receiver one day and yelled into the transmitter one word -- a most satisfactory, capable, soul-satisfying word -- 'Hello.' It has gone clear around the world."
Mr. Koenigsberg, who teaches a course in the history of English, was rightly suspicious of that "one day." He wanted dates and documents to establish a connection between the word, the telephone and Edison.
At A.T.&T., with the help of Alan Gardner, the company's archivist, he picked up the paper trail. First, he made note that the early telephone operators were called "hello girls," a term that appears in Mark Twain's "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" (1889).
Mr. Koenigsberg recently came upon an earlier use of the word by Twain. In "A Telephonic Conversation," a comic sketch written in 1880, Twain reproduced half of an imaginary telephone conversation, with "hello" making an appearance. It represents the first known use of the word in a work of literature.
In an old file, Mr. Koenigsberg discovered the next links in the chain: unpublished letters from 1885 between Edison and Chauncy Smith, a lawyer for Bell. Mr. Smith had asked Edison to provide him with a "brass wheel" that would automatically play the recorded word "hello" to signal that a telephone connection had been made. "I wish to get your instrument for experiment," he wrote. Edison told him to get lost. No more was heard of this early answering machine, but it does suggest that "hello" was the standard telephone greeting, even for Bell partisans.
Mr. Koenigsberg next looked through the minutes from the first National Convention of Telephone Companies, held in Niagara Falls, N.Y., in September 1880. There he found the following words in an address from the organization's president: "The shortest speech that I could make to you and that would
express a great deal to you, probably would be the one that is on all your badges -- 'Hello'!" The delegates burst into applause. The Hello! name tag went on to become a national institution.
Finally, Mr. Koenigsberg found the historic letter of August 1877. In December 1987, justifiably excited, he published his findings in the journal he publishes, The Antique Phonograph Monthly. No one cared. Mr. Koenigsberg occasionally delivers cultural treats of this sort to his 2,000 mechanically obsessed subscribers, but, he said, "I think they find it irritating because it takes space away from patent numbers and things like that." His research enters the area of educated guesswork when it comes to settling the question of why Edison used "hello" in the first place.
When Edison discovered the principle of recorded sound on July 18, 1877, he shouted "Halloo!" into the mouthpiece of the strip phonograph. The word was the traditional call to incite hounds to the chase, and is a close relative of such words as hilla, hillo, halloa and hallo, all used to hail from a distance.
The British "hullo," which dates from the mid-19th century, is deceptive. It was used not as a greeting but as an expression of surprise, as in "Hullo, what have we here?" It seems likely that Edison, satisfied with the resonant halloo, continued to use it in his experiments, at some point compressing the pronunciation and modifying the spelling, never his strong suit, in any case.
Mr. Koenigsberg said he would still like to know what exactly was going through Edison's mind at the moment of creation. For satisfaction, he will have to turn to one of the first songs to use the Edisonian greeting, "Hello, Central. Give Me Heaven.

Church General Overseer Converts To Islam And Gives Reasons

 
■Says strange man in dreams convinced him to do so
    In Nigeria, particularly among the Yoruba tribe where religious tolerance is most noticed, it is a regular occurrence to see Muslims convert to Christianity. Hardly do we see a Christian turn to Islam. However, a man, former Pastor Adekunle Afolabi, founder and leader of Apata Adu­ra Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Ekute, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, broke that jinx recently. He converted fully to Islam after practising Christianity for over 25 years and even risen to become the General Overseer of his church, which have branches across Ekiti State.
   
Now known and addressed as Alfa Abubakar Afolabi, the 45-year-old man attributed his conversion to a divine encounter he had with a strange man in white in his dreams who showed him certain flaws in Christianity and convinced him that indeed Islam is the only religion that leads to heaven.
    In this interview with WOLE BALOGUN at his Ekute, Ado Ekiti residence, Alfa Abubakar spoke extensively on his experience. Excerpts:
    How did your journey to Islam begin?
    I am former Pastor Adekunle Afolabi, General Overseer and founder of Apata Adura Cherubim and Seraphim in Ekute, Ado-Ekiti, I have been a believer in Christianity for 25 years. I have been tutored at the Deeper Life Bible Church school in Ayobo, Lagos and my parents were attending the Assemblies of God Church. I later left the church to set up a C &S church where I became a Shepherd because God always reveals things to me either by vision or by dreams and to be candid, God reveals things to me and when God wants to make a confirmation of them, they always come to pass.
    The spiritual gift has enhanced my career as a cleric in Christianity such that my church grew so fast that by the time we were celebrating fifth anniversary, the church has had branches across the state and over 150 members attended my headquarters in Ekute alone. I have also become the state chairman of the association of our church unification in Ado.
    I was preparing for the anniversary when I started having dreams that eventually led to my conversion. At first in the dreams, I noticed my members were sitting on the floor in the church and some of them were covering their heads. I also saw that people were washing their hands and feet before entering the church just like it is done in Islam.
    In my canal thinking, I thought God wanted us to be washing our hands and feet before entering the church and I instructed my members to be doing so, some did, while others didn’t.
    I remembered when I was living in Ikere, around 1986, I used to attend a church then called the Church of Iya Olomi (Woman of holy water) in Ikere. There was an earthen pot in the church where we washed our legs before attending the church so I was thinking that may be that is what God wanted me to do. I went to buy an earthen pot in Ijebu and put it at the back of the church but something strange happened the day I did that, a heavy rain fell and erosion poured sand into the earthen pot that was filled with water and all the perfume and spiritual arrangement I put inside the water was spoilt. Then, I went to clean the pot and put another clean water again. To my surprise, when I was coming home I met little children at the earthen pot fetching water from it like a well. So, to avoid trouble in the neighbourhood, I dug out the earthen pot and made up my mind that it seems God is against what am doing.
    In another of my dream, I saw women in Hijab in the church, so on one Sunday I informed my congregation that at the forthcoming anniversary, all women should come with hijab. Only 10 people adhered to the instruction during that period but I was yet to be converted.
    After that, certain strange things began to happen in my dreams, I would notice that someone comes to me, wakes me up and then take me on a journey to somewhere, there the man will ask a question: he said do I know if the way I was taking in life is the right one?,I told him, yes since I do pray to God and he answers me. But he asked me again that what makes me believe I was right and I told him that since I can pray to God and he answers me. He asked me again that do I believe that God could write Quran in Arabic to people for them to know his teachings, I said to him I don’t know but knew that some people use Arabic as language. He then called my attention to my left hand, there he told me to open my palm which I did and he asked if I knew that the first line in my left hand stands for eight and the second stands for one which go for 81. He added that on my right hand, the first line stands for one in Arabic and the other stands for eight and that if these are added together, they are equal to 99 which stands for the ninety nine names of Allah. He said this means that Allah wrote his name on the palms of all human beings in Arabic.
    I was baffled because I never had any knowledge in the Quran, so I decided to go and research on it. It got to a point that my wife and I started attending the mosque together and one day, an alhaji around my neighbourhood saw me coming out of the mosque, he was so surprised and challenged me and I told him everything that occurred to me which led me to the mosque. He told me that I must not keep this to myself so he advised me to keep walking in God’s way in Islam and stop preaching in the church but call on Imam or Alfa to come and preach.
    Eventually, I ended up inviting an Imam, a Muslim cleric to preach in my church during our fifth anniversary last year. The church members were surprised as the Imam preached.
    After the anniversary, the same man came to me in my dreams and tasked me on payment of tithe in my church, saying I should stop collecting it. So, the next Sunday I stopped collecting tithes from the congregation.
    Of course, the church members were not all happy, some went to another church because they can’t continue with this type of doctrine and that was how the number of the congregation continued to reduce day after day.
    I nearly got fed up, but I made up my mind that I won’t go back on my decision and religion and when it got to January ending, I made up my mind fully to convert to Islam.
    As a prophet in C and S, you would be doing some spiritual work for people, now that you are now in Islam, do you still do the works?
    Rendering spiritual help is given to all men by God for their own use, so the wisdom of it is given to me by God, he didn’t take it away from me because that is different from religion. It is a way of livelihood so, if any one falls sick, wants to give birth, is having stillbirth, stagnation at work, that is all what we use that for. He showed me places in the Bible where many prayed to God in Islamic way. By this praying, I mean to kneel down and bow down your head and face down.
    How have your wife, relatives, friends and in-laws reacted to your newfound faith?
    They have always known me to be truthful with whatever I’m doing and they respect me for that and also respect my decision, so there hasn’t been any cause for alarm.
    The only person who at a time opposed it was my wife because she was a Christian when I married her. She said she would quit the marriage and I said it is okay and that I don’t want to die a Christian but would rather die a Muslim. But after a while, she discovered that we haven’t been worshipping any idol, that we have always been worshipping God. She came back and accepted me this way. Also, my children are supporting me and have joined me.
    What about those who were your colleagues when you were in Christianity as a church leader?
    They all left me the day I invited an Imam to come and preach in my church. That day of our anniversary. I have also been relieved of my position as president of our association. The only thing the pastors do once in a while is to call to ask me if indeed I still want to continue in the new faith and I usually confirm it. As for friends, some have stayed while others have left.
    Have you now become a leader in Islamic faith?
    No, I am still learning to be deeper in Islam. I had over 150 members in the church before but they have all left now. My church before has now been converted to a mosque and it is being attended by many muslims now that I cannot even count them. An Imam is currently running the mosque while I am also there as an Alfa, learning more about the religion.
    How many wives have you now?
    The Bible does not oppose marrying more than one wife. It says if you want to marry another wife, you must ensure that you treat her the same way you are treating the ones or one you have already married. The Bible only says that for those who want to become Bishops, they should marry only one.
    Now you have only one wife, is it likely that you will marry another wife?
    No. I have married some women before. Now, I cannot marry another woman. That is not in my plans. My first born is about 22 years old.
    You know that there is this common opinion that religion does not really matter, whether you are a Christian, Muslim or traditionalist, your relationship with God matters most in getting to heaven, what is your view on this saying?
    All I can say is that anyone who wants to go to heaven should just accept Islam peacefully. Islam to me now, is the only way to God. No other way.
    You have spoken against collecting tithes, and said you have stopped collecting tithes from your members, are you concerned that you may not get money to run the mosque since that is a major way to get money?
    All I can say about that is that God’s words advise that when we have, we should be grateful and also when we do not. Before I stopped collecting tithes, I have members who usually give me about N20 000 or N10 000 but I still have to stop collecting it in obedience to God. Now, I don’t collect tithe from anyone but Islam permits people to do saka, which is just a voluntary attitude to contribute to someone’s or an alfa’ or just extend mercy or what we call Sadaka.

Dickson,Alamieyeseigha Ordered Out of Jonathan's Meeting With PDP Board of Trustees

 
The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) o Sunday held an emergency meeting at the country home of former President Goodluck Jonathan in Otuoke, Bayelsa State, it wades into the crisis rocking the state chapter of the party.

At the meeting, both the state governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson, and former governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, were ordered out of the venue by the party leadership.

At the meeting which looked into the recommendations of the National Peace Committee for the state, the acting Chairman of the party’s BoT, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed, called on all feuding members and stakeholders of the party in the state to close ranks, while also upturning the decision of the state chapter of the party to expel some prominent members from the party.

President Jonathan was said to been scandalised by the action of the party at the state level, adding that the party cannot afford a major crisis less than five months to the governorship election.


At the meeting which was held at the Jonathan country home amid tight security, some uninvited prominent persons, including those who had already defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), were walked out of the venue.
THISDAY gathered that attendance was based strictly on membership of the board and on invitation.

Those in attendance at the meeting included the BoT acting Chairman, Bello; the Secetary of the BoT, Senator Walid Jibril; the former Governor of Ebonyi State, Senator Sam Egwu; Dr. Cairo Ojuogboh and Senator Stella Omu.
While some loyalists of the expelled party leaders, including the embattled Chairman of the PDP in the state, Col. Sam Inokoba, claimed that the Chairman of the state reconciliation committee and first governor of the state, Alameiyeiseigha and other party members were barred from attending the meeting due to non-membership of the party BoT.

However, Inokoba and Senator Emmanuel Paulker were allowed into the meeting.

The state Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Godspower Keku, in a statement issued yesterday, confirmed the reconciliation of the party’s leadership by the BoT and that the decision to rescind the suspensions and expulsions, was taken on the request of Dickson, who is the leader of the party in the state.

He said the decision was taken in the best interest of the party, especially with a crucial election around the corner.

Keku, however, pointed out that the lifting of the suspensions was still subject to the ratification of the State Working Committee, which is expected to deliberate on it soon.

“The party welcomed the pardoned members and enjoin the party at all levels to involve them in all activities of the party, giving them second chance to prove their loyalty. All members of the party are enjoined to re-double their efforts towards ensuring victory for the party in the forthcoming governorship poll.”

The state PDP statement read: “The meeting, which was convened at the instance of President Jonathan also resolved to rescind the suspensions and expulsions placed on some members of the party, who have, despite the internal squabbles within its rank and file, remained in the PDP, unlike those, who defected to the opposition.”

The state PDP Secretary, Keku, explained that the decision was taken in the best interest of the party, especially with a crucial election around the corner.
He commended them for keeping faith with the PDP, despite the pressures to defect, like a number of others, who could not resist the temptation, despite having reaped bountifully from the PDP, since 1999.

Some of those affected by the decision included Senators Paulker and Nimi Barigha Amange, Ayakeme Whiskey, Mrs. Marie Ebikake, Hon. Waripamowei Dudafa, Ebikitin Diongoli and Mrs. Remi Kuku, among others.

Top 5 Careers That Can Make Your Spouse Cheat On You

 
With the growing rate of marriage failures as a result of infidelity in Nigeria and beyond, JobTrends Nigeria decided to look into the epidemic from our own perspective and we realized that there are careers that makes couple more prone to having their marriages hit the rock.
Some couples are having a blistering career and are earning an enviable pay package, but they are still not happy because their marital life is at the receiving end of it. Don’t be deceived by the range rover vogue your friend drives, she really wished she could be like you and have her marriage intact. Don’t be deceived by the fact that some of this couples works in to church clinging to each other like they have it all perfect, it’s just a make-believe. Marriages are hitting the rocks every day in this country.
Below are a list of the top 5 careers (jobs) that can put your marriage on the brinks.
Note: I am not in any way advocating that these careers are bad, or that everybody in the career mentioned here is a victim. No. not at all.
• Offshore oil Jobs
Yes, the oil big boys are first on my list. Taking up a career in the oil industry as an offshore dude makes your
marriage very porous. Some of my friends in that industry confided in me and they all have same problem. What is the problem? They earn an enviable some with benefits but they have just six months in a year to utilize anything they have acquired, including their wives.
Imagine when a guy works two weeks on, two weeks off. That makes it a cumulative six months on, six months off by the end of a year. God help you, your wife is the type that is promiscuous, and she knows she has six months of uninterrupted sexual escapades with the guy next door. Sorry bro.
One of my friend even complained to me that after paying for DSTV full bouquet for 12 months, he gets to watch it for only six months. It’s funny but, it’s that bad.
Also, do I need to mention that some companies deploy sex workers to their rigs on the high sea to reduce work hazards? In fact, this service I learnt has a good budget and it is outsourced to some core ‘HR Companies. Ladies beware.
• Aviation jobs (Pilots/Air Hostesses)
In addition to the usual “pilot’s wife syndrome” that is common amongst women married to pilots, some of them are also battling with the fact that her husband has a side chick in every state capital and country his plane touches. Not empirically proved though, but pilots are hot preys of eagle-eyed girls searching for fun and funds.
‘I don’t know about you, but I can’t marry an air hostess,’ a guy once told me. If your wife happens not to have her virtues intact, then she is the first dumping pot for the promiscuous pilots. To make matters worse, if she happens to be the bread winner of the family, you won’t just be battling with the fact that you are now the house-husband, but also the fact that you can’t even complain when she goes on numerous self-imposed trips with the high profile contacts she met on board. Not all of them sha o!
• Hospital (Doctors/Nurses)
A ‘quickie session’ is part of the job. Not their faults really. It takes a special hand of God to shield a young doctor from the advances of female patients that feel they owe their lives to them.
The nurses too. Their attire does not help matters at all. It could even pass for a sexual harassment case.
• SHOW BIZ ( actors, models, Music Artist, TV Personalities)
It’s not as if that marriage failure is high in this industry alone. We only get to hear about the rate of the divorce and separation in this industry because they are public figures. When you are deciding to pursue a career in this industry, be tactful and prayerful not to blossom in the industry at the expense of your marital life.
• LECTURING JOB
The fact that lecturers are vulnerable to cheating on their spouses is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. I know some university dons that live in the university community alone without their families. Some only get to see their family during weekends. Common, there is a pool of girls of easy virtue in our university communities today (I mean no disrespect to the female folks), but the number of girls in our higher institutions who are not ready to study is alarming, but at the end they come out in flying colors.
Don’t ask me how. Ask your husband.

Mark Zuckerberg The Owner Of FACEBOOK Shared This Romantic & Motivating Words!

 
Mark Zuckerberg the owner of the biggest social network (FACEBOOK) in the world shared this on his facebook page. His wife, Priscilla after having series of miscarriages in the past is expecting a baby girl soon, and Mark has this to say:-
    Priscilla and I have some exciting news: we're expecting a baby girl!
    This will be a new chapter in our lives. We've already been so fortunate for the opportunity to touch people's lives around the
world -- Cilla as a doctor and educator, and me through this community and philanthropy. Now we'll focus on making the world a better place for our child and the next generation.
    We want to share one experience to start. We've been trying to have a child for a couple of years and have had three miscarriages along the way.
    You feel so hopeful when you learn you're going to have a child. You start imagining who they'll become and dreaming of hopes for their future. You start making plans, and then they're gone. It's a lonely experience. Most people don't discuss miscarriages because you worry your problems will distance you or reflect upon you -- as if you're defective or did something to cause this. So you struggle on your own.
    In today's open and connected world, discussing these issues doesn't distance us; it brings us together. It creates understanding and tolerance, and it gives us hope.
    When we started talking to our friends, we realized how frequently this happened -- that many people we knew had similar issues and that nearly all had healthy children after all.
    We hope that sharing our experience will give more people the same hope we felt and will help more people feel comfortable sharing their stories as well.
    Our good news is that our pregnancy is now far enough along that the risk of loss is very low and we are very hopeful.
    Cilla and our child are both healthy, I'm extremely excited to meet her and our dog Beast has no idea what's coming. In our ultrasound, she even gave me a thumbs up "like" with her hand, so I'm already convinced she takes after me.
    We're looking forward to welcoming her into the world and sharing more soon when she's ready to come out and meet everyone!

Desperate for a Husband

 
For many years i never knew how ladies in their very late 20s,early 30s and late 30s feel when it comes to the issue of settling down with a man until recently when i had the cause to really get close to many of them.
Yes many of them will always insist that marriage is the least of their worries but deep inside,most of them are hoping desperately to have a man to settle down with and my acquaintanceship with some of them made me decide to write this short piece hoping that when they see and read it,they will come to understand that their desperation is self inflicted and until they learn to put themselves at a vantage point,they will only hope and wish for a long time that a man comes their way.
I have witnessed many deliverance session for ladies all in the name of looking for a husband but after a close look i come to realize that they are their own problems and this is as a result of the society that have brainwashed them and rather than dealing with the problems,they end up running from from one prophet to another and from one deliverance service to another and some have become a shadow of themselves as they
turn to emergency sister dressing like masquerades,going without earrings,make up and even on low cut all in the name of looking for a man.
Please when next you see such ladies,help me inform them that deliverance won't solve their problems and even when we know that there are spiritual hindrance to getting a spouse,most times what we need is a re orientation of our minds,ways of life and culture.
1.Many ladies will not say yes to a man if you are not ready to do traditional wedding,legal wedding,white wedding,blue wedding... Please tell me how easy you expect to find a man in this harsh economy.
2.As an Igbo lady,you are naturally at risk unless you drive it into your man's ear that in your own family they don't ask a man for crazy bride price otherwise you will only see men come into your life without discussing marriage and you will think its a curse from the village but its only as a result of the funny belief that Igbo ladies are expensive to marry.
3.How many ladies can start a life with a struggling man? I guess part of the prayer point during deliverance is that GOD should bring a ready made man to propose to you.Mumu
4.Funny doctrinal belief is another hindrance and many ladies who run to conservative churches in the bid to have a man end up in more bondage.I had a lady friend in her 30s who i admire so much but she goes to one of this conservative churches and there was a time i was so sick and i was expecting her to visit but she never did and when i told her i was angry,she was so quick to say she can not visit me at home and i was like FOR REAL? Even a sick guy? i even told her that she would have at least come in company of a friend and i lost interest in the friendship instantly and i wonder how she will get a good man with that mindset.
5.Rough past is another hindrance and many ladies just believe that if a man loves them the past does not matter.
6.Lack of wife qualities is another issue and i wonder how a lady who does not have the required quality to be a mrs to a man will be desperate fore a man because even if any man comes,he will eventually leave you until you work on yourself.
The bottom line is that many ladies we see in churches today who tend to be looking for a husband are their own problems. So stop been desperate and work on your mindset and you will be surprised that in no time,a good man will walk into your life and marry you.

Paternity Fraud In Nigeria: Are You Your Baby’s Daddy?

 
In an article that recently resurfaced, originally published two years ago, a DNA expert said three out of 10 Nigerian men are not the biological fathers of their children. The article no doubt caught the attention of many. And though the authenticity of the statement remains in question, it certainly provoked a conversation, and surely, reactions.

I am certain a good number of men began to question their paternity, and those who had prior suspicions must have gone ahead to take a paternity test. This information came right after the rumoured durex survey which alleged that Nigerian women are the most unfaithful in the world; the statement seemed to fan a flame.

In his interview, the expert made reference to the survey, saying that the sexual recklessness of Nigerian women is the reason for the alarming statistics of paternity fraud in country.

In truth, cases of paternity fraud aren’t common in Nigeria, largely because they are either often settled out of
court, or swept under the carpet. In other parts of the world, the United States for example, paternity fraud is a criminal offence, and one of the most rampant cases in court. Reason? Child support: women seize opportunities to receive a higher child support award than the biological father of the child can provide.

This issue is such a big deal in the West; there are activists and movements against it. In a country like Nigeria, as is with most West African countries, fathers cater for children born prior wedlock, or out of extramarital affairs, without the involvement of the court. So legal cases of paternity fraud are not common.

Another reason for paternity fraud is sexual promiscuity. Promiscuous and unfaithful women are more likely to misattribute paternity, honestly or dishonestly. An Australian-based research did show that 40 per cent of women and 60 per cent of men in a committed relationship will be unfaithful at some point. And that 8 per cent of women had multiple partners while in a long-term relationship.

It was also established that fathers who doubt the paternity claims of their sexual partners are 20 to 28 per cent often correct. The result of a research on the sexual promiscuity among Nigerian female undergraduates indicated a 79 per cent agreement on the prevalence of sexual promiscuity amongst female undergraduates.

In a phone interview with Ventures Africa, Mr. Ayodele Ayodeji of Paternity Test Nigeria said there is one case of paternity fraud out of every four paternity tests conducted at the centre. “I will say one out of four paternity tests turn out negative,” he told me. He also added that people of the South-east – Ibos and South-south – Deltans, patronise the centre more than the people of western Nigeria – the Yorubas.

The implications of paternity fraud are major, disrupting relationships, homes, and marriages. Victims of this crime – father or child – stands the risk of depression, and mental health problems. A child victim is more likely to have self esteem issues and anxiety.
When women make the choice to lie about the paternity of their children, they should bear in mind the misery and heartache these children may later experience.
American film maker and actor, Tyler Perry, admitted to being hurt and disappointed that his late mother lied to him about the true identity of his father.

He found out the truth at the age of 44 after taking a DNA test with his brother. His advice: “Some of you have secrets that your kids need to know. Let the chips fall where they may.
For the peace of that person, let them know.”

These photos have  gone viral and the story is so bizarre. Information reaching us indicate that a Republic of Benin soldier named Corporal Chabi Séni, stripped five girls naked and tied them to a tree after accusing them of stealing from their madam who owns a bar and who is his wife. 

 The soldier decided their punishment would be to parade them naked and have someone take photos of the girls while the bar manager is seen kneeling in the background.
