Only those who love hunger will vote Jonathan - APC VP candidate Osinbajo
Vice Presidential Candidate of the APC, Prof Yemi Osibajo says it is only Nigerians who love hunger that will return the present administration into office in 2015. He said this at a town hall meeting for artisans, tradesmen and farmers organised by the Lagos state government at the state secretariat yesterday December 30th 2015.
“No one is ignorant of all that is happening to us in this country. No one likes hunger and poverty; but people are hungry. In 2015, only those who love to continue to be hungry would prefer that the government in power at the centre remains there. By God’s grace, we would remove them from the seat of power. The people there presently cannot do anything, because they don’t know how to. They lack the capacity and capability to govern the country. I pray for the farmers and artisans that the Lord will bless us in the incoming year.” he said

Nkiru Sylvanus set to wed Oge Okoye's ex-husband, Stanley Duru
Last week I told y'all about a light skinned Nollywood actress who is planning to marry the ex-husband of another light skinned actress (read here). Some of you guessed the ladies I was talking about - Oge Okoye and Nkiru Sylvanus. Yep, Nkiru is set to marry Stanley Duru, Oge Okoye's ex-husband and father of her two kids.
Like I said in the last post, Stanley was first Nkiru's boyfriend but while they were having issues he met Oge, she got pregnant and they did some kind of introduction. They broke up and now he's back in Nkiru's life. They were supposed to get married this past Saturday Dec. 27th but sources close to Nkiru say it didn't happen and that they will likely marry early 2015. Nkiru will eventually release a press statement to address the drama.
I hear Oge is furious about this and people close to her say though she's moved on from Stanley, she's devastated he's trying to humiliate her by marrying her colleague.

Why Jonathan did not visit Chibok—Yakasai.
Elder statesman and chieftain of the PDP Alhaji Tanko Yakasai over the weekend explained why he thinks President Jonathan didn't visit Chibok. He said:
“Why I think the president’s decision not to visit the area is not bad is because we were all aware of the deteriorating level of insecurity in that part of the country. We all know it was too risky for the president to visit Chibok at that time. The president is not a soldier, soldiers are the people that should be sent there. If I was the president and such an incident occurred, the right thing for me to do was to send soldiers and to be frank, our soldiers are doing their best. We are hearing on radio and reading on newspapers how soldiers are being killed but yet they are doing their best.
I don’t know what is happening, the Minister of Defence, Ali Gussy, is a northerner, the National Security Adviser is a northerner, the Inspector General of Police is northerner, the Chief of Defence Staff is also a northerner. “All Nigerian soldiers are under his order, if all these people cannot address the problem how would it be easy for the president to do it? Don’t forget that suicide bombers are now experts, so what will happen if they ambushed the president and something bad happened to him? Do you think his people will accept that? Except if people want the country to return to the Niger Delta militants era.”

Written by a LIB reader, David King...
Ladies, come in here! Want to know why your kid sister(s) or girls who grew up before your eyes are already engaged or even married while you can't even boost of a serious boyfriend?
Here is the singular reason why; "Being real". Every man has his 'mumu botton'. At the same time, every man has a particular type of girl he's been envisioned to settle down with (It might not be known to him until he finds the mrs right).
If I'd wish to settle down with a Loud person for instance, and you are a loud person but pretends to be all quiet and cool, you don't expect to get a ring from me.
Message been, be your true self at all times.
Somebody wants you the way you are.
Someone has been searching for you all his life.
It might be true that a bunch of guys might have used and dumped you but that's surely their lose.
Continue been real...verily I say unto you, you are worth more than billions to one cool gentle man out there. A man who has it all and currently searching for you.
Don't expect to meet your man in one of those scenarios you've read in novels or love stories. Wedding ceremonies, on a plane or all have you. He might come in a very weird unbelievable scenarios you might look down on. That's why you should be on your best behavior at all times.
Cheers! Merry Xmas and a happy new year.
