SUSWAM FILES SUIT DEMANDING N100 MILLION COMPENSATION FROM BENUE STATE GOVT

 
Benue State Ex-Governor Gabriel Suswam has filed a suit against the state government for the revocation of the Atom Kpera Lodge which he allocated to himself while in office. In a revocation notice to the former Governor from the state’s Head of Service, Mr Adaikwu Inwata, the state government stated that they had sighted “fundamental irregularities” in the process that led to the transaction and ordered him to vacate the property immediately.

Counsel to Suswam, David Iorhemba however explained that, the Ex-Governor was not invited before the revocation and therefore sues for a compensation of one hundred million naira from the state government.

Counsel to the State Government and Commissioner for Justice, Michael Gusa said Government is ready to defend its actions.

PDP Blast David Mark For Praising President Buhari

PDP’s Social Media Director of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Deji Adeyanju has taken a swipe at former Senate President, David Mark and his former colleagues at the senate Stella Oduah and Ben Bruce for praising President Muhammadu Buhari. The former Senate President had in his Christmas message expressed his confidence in President Buhari to reposition the country and urged Nigerians to exercise patience.

Mr Adeyanju however said it was an act of cowardice for respected leaders who were supposed to provide a formidable opposition in Nigeria to be singing unnecessary praise for the president, especially Senator David Mark who he felt was doing so because of the fear of losing the forth coming Benue South rerun senatorial election.

“Suddenly, the respected David Mark, who has been a senator since the advent of democracy in 1999 and two time Senate President of our great nation, is suddenly afraid that if he does not patronize president Buhari and sing his praises he might not win the re-run election for his Benue South senatorial district.”

“It is disheartening to read some of the comments by people who are supposed to be strong opposition figures in our nation. What these our leaders do not seem to understand is that you do not patronize dictators or appeal to them.” Read excerpts of his press release.

Read Ben Murray-Bruce's reaction to CBN's ban of ATM use abroad


Senator Ben Murray Bruce has reacted to the Central Bank of Nigeria's decision to ban Nigerians from using their debit and credit cards abroad. Reports about the planned ban came to light few days ago when BBC quoted a source as saying that the CBN will from January 1st 2016 stop foreign purchase via the use of credit or debit card. The decision is reportedly part of the government's effort to try to stem the flow of foreign exchange out of the country.

The CBN has also reportedly written to various commercial banks about this decision while some banks have also notified their customers, saying it is a temporary measure. Sen. Ben Murray-Bruce however thinks this decision is not a wise one. His reaction after the cut...

Most of our youths nowadays are more into relationship goals than life goals, why is this? 
 This is the question I keep asking myself... Is it because we are in a generation where our youths tend to copy what they see on social media or is it the parenting or maybe they think it's a teenage or youth thing just as I hear many say, "let's have fun now then later we'll become serious" believe me later might be too late. Many of our youths come out criticizing our leaders that they are corrupt and all that... But what are we the youths doing to help? Nothing. 
 The youths are out there trying to satisfy one relationship partner or another and forgetting they have a tomorrow... Young, vibrant, intelligent and supposed tomorrow's leaders are out there crating relationship goals instead of thinking of how to build tomorrow. 
Putting the blames on bad parenting or on social media would be wrong, why because, we all have our own mindsets, we all can choose on how to set ourselves to greatness, we all have that choice to make. 
 The social medias have both negative and positive places, places for improving our learning and more but we choose to go the other way around, though all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, just as the saying goes, but that doesn't mean the ratio of playing to that of learning and setting up goals beneficial to your life and those around us and our nation should be 80:20. 
 We should learn how to make good use of our time because that's one thing we can never get to control or get back. We should learn how to set our scale of preference and as that set our life goals much higher up in the scale.
 Yes we can have fun, party, play games and all yeah... But we should learn that tomorrow is not going to take care of itself, You are.

NEW E.P ALERT:GOD'S OWN DEAL BY F.A

God own's deal with mr Augustine produced a Faithful Agent,here comes a dope E.P as an outcome.Get the E.P in other news here is his story.
My name is Augustine Ochekwu A.K.A F.A(faithful Agent), am a "christian rapper" and also "a rapper that's a christian" i was born in Kaduna state, Nigeria. i came from a christian background but officially gave my life to christ in 2009, after which the hunger and the pursuit for the knowledge of God became real and  off course i want to express his Love in my life. Knowing fully that every good and perfect gift is from above i've decided to return all glory to God with my whole body,Soul nd mind.

Some might not see it as anything but it was a great deal the price Christ payed to ransom man back to God, so in other words we remind God of the precious deal he exchanged to get us back to him. We all are God's own deal and our life's should and need to reflect that, this project explains that better and more than just music it's a movement of dedicated young minds that are out to restore that awearness about Jesus that has almost been taken out of every aspect of out society today. We all are God's Own Deal and our whole lifes should be given back to the life giver (God). Happy listening enjoy

The woman has since removed the sign from the store.

Science don't lie: Guys dig brunettes more than blondes


jessicabiels.jpg
Common wisdom and Howard Hawkes' movie titles have long suggested that men prefer blondes over brunettes. But maybe that rumor got started in 1953 when Gentlemen Prefer Blondes came out. I love Jane Russell, but come on, that's hardly a fair comparison: 

monro140.jpg

Monroe obviously wins that aesthetic battle, but how much of that really has to do with the color of her hair? A more fair comparison would be brunette Marilyn vs. blonde Marilyn.

look-GoBlondeGetFame-2k63afi6k.png

The nod still goes to the blonde hair, but they may have something to do with how we're used to seeing Monroe. The blonde hair is iconic. 

But what does science say? In fact, both formal and informal science suggest the opposite: Men prefer brunettes. Take, for instance, this poll of 2,000 men on a social networking site, where 60 percent preferred brunettes. This survey of 6,000 people also found that brunettes earn a higher salary and are considered more intelligent. In this survey, more men said they considered brunettes sexier, while 61 percent said they'd prefer to marry a brown-haired woman over a blonde. In this study of 1500 men, where the same woman was rated with blonde, red, and brunette hair, over half of the men said they preferred the brunette version. A research study at Florida State University also reveals that men prefer brunettes over blondes by a rate of 46 to 19 percent. Another study reveals that men prefer brunettes because, biologically, they consider them healthier and therefore better life mates. 

Science don't lie, folks. It's not a slam dunk, but overall, men do prefer brunettes to blondes. How do we feel? Let's do our own informal survey and examine 17 women as both blondes and brunettes. How often do you prefer the brunette version, and how often do you prefer the blonde (in your comment, also indicate your own gender and hair color, so we can account for bias). I will indicate my own preference (male, brunette/gray) in parenthesis.
