I Trust u are good. Pls spare me some time. Just a few things bothering me. If u finish reading and it makes no sense... Please delete or just ignore.
A lot of guys in my generation (40-60+) are messing up the perception of life, moral and cutural values of these young ladies (19-30). They have used their affluence and generosity which they
shower on the girls to get between their legs to totally confuse them on what love and essence of life is all about. These girls are now so mixed and messed up, they don't relate well with females their mate who don't lead their kind of life. A young girl who drives a Range Rover Sport, courtesy an Aristole, now thinks she is better than a girl who still takes taxis or manages a Kia Rio. And whistles Wizkid's "My money and your money.. No be mate" anytime they go past each other. True. Your body and her body no DEY the same grade too. Or you forget that wear and tear shows with

Closing a chapter in a scandal that shocked the nation and tarnished a prestigious university, PENN State, a jury convicted Jerry Sandusky on 45 counts of sexual abuse Friday night, believing the graphic testimony of8  young men over a defense team that portrayed the celebrated former Penn State assistant football coach as devoted mentor.

Man To Hang For Stealing N1,705 and Two Rolls of Peak Milk, Where Is Farouk Lawan?

A Jos High Court, on Thursday, sentenced 26-year-old Obinah John to death by hanging for robbing one Dorothy Olaniyi of N1,705 and two rolls of peak milk in sachets, valued at N400.
G. Fwonyon, the deputy director of Public Prosecution in Plateau State, had told the court that John, in company of an accomplice also named John (now at large), robbed the woman on November 18, 2005 in her shop at Gada Biu, Jos at gunpoint.
Counsel to John, Tobechukwu Kekemeke, rejected the prosecutor’s claim and accused the police of “not telling the truth about the gun” said to have been used by John.

Kekemeke pointed out that the police presented three statements, with only the last indicating a confession by the accused that he used a gun against the victim. The defence counsel further argued that the prosecution had failed to prove to the court that the accused actually used a gun to commit the act.

He asked the court to throw out the case for lack of diligent prosecution, arguing that “the circumstances of the third statement, in which John was said to have admitted ownership of the gun, is suspect.”

In a 60-page judgement, Justice Yargata Nimpa said the evidence before the court had shown that the accused committed the offence. He therefore sentenced John to death by hanging.

“The accused is hereby sentenced to death by hanging, but the judgement is liable to an appeal,” Nimpa declared.

Kekemeke noted that he will appeal against the judgement.

“The convict has the right to appeal against the judgement. It is not a judgement that we are satisfied with, so we are definitely going to appeal at the Court of Appeal,” he vowed.

Remember DANA Airspace Lockdown? Wait Till You Read This.

Popular lawyer and human rights activist, Femi Falana, has demanded that the federal government reveal the identity of the VIP whose movement caused a partial closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, last Tuesday.

Falana, who was on an Arik Air Flight W3 271, said the plane stayed in the air for an extra 30 minutes after it approached Abuja from Lagos because the airspace was closed.
 “Having regards to the June 3, 2012 Dana plane crash in Lagos, which killed all the 153 passengers and crew on board, as well as 10 other persons in their homes, I was subjected to unwarranted mental and psychological torture,” he said.
“Most other passengers on board were equally traumatised as the Arik plane was forced to hover in the air for 25 minutes.
When the plane eventually landed, I was reliably informed that there had been a restriction of movement at the airport for over one hour. In the process, the fundamental right of hundreds of people to freedom of movement was violated by the airport authorities at the instance of the said Very Important Personality.”

In a letter he sent to the Ministry of Aviation, Falana demanded to know the identity of the said VIP so as to enable him institute

President Jonathan Responds to Outrage Over Trip to Brazil, I Can Rule From Anywhere

President Goodluck Jonathan released some statement over the outrage that trailed his trip to Rio. His spokesperson might have penned this insult but he approved it.. In related news, Labaran Maku Nigeria’s Information Minister declared that President Jonathan can rule from anywhere he chose in the world, he has asked haters like you reading this to get a life - if you are one of those complaining. Mr. Maku seems to be saying the constant spate of bomb attacks on innocent citizens is definitely not their concern, he wants us to deal with it.. Well, he might as well have said that.

Peep the exerpt from Mr. President's response 

“The conference, Rio+20, is very important and nobody can doubt that. The issues that will be discussed at this conference are also issues that are relevant to Nigeria’s interest. It is also an opportunity for Nigeria to promote its interest in terms of its place in global community.

“The crisis in Kaduna and Yobe occurred almost on the eve of the President’s departure for this event and commitments have been made.

“I think what we can do is to appeal to the opposition not to always play politics with everything; that is the major challenge we face, people always want to play politics with everything.

“If the President had refused to come to Rio, the same persons will turn around and say that there is an important conference attended by world leaders and the Nigerian President stayed away from it. “It is as if there is nothing you can do to please our people. It is not that Nigeria is going to lose anything by Mr. President’s presence here rather, the country is going to gain a lot from his presence.

“He is here serving the interest of Nigerians, it is not as if he has abandoned his responsibilities.”

Don't forget too soo that Mr. President Jonathan traveled to Brazil with the largest national delegation comprising of 116 men and women. The list of delegation is broken down below
• 25 personal aides
• 18 aides of Patience Jonathan
• 2 members of the National Assembly
• 5 Ministers
• 2 Governors, and

SOURCE - I have been harbouring a number of thoughts in my mind targeted at the actions of the trio of Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth and Mark Zuckerberg. Being that am a very direct person, I would channel my views directly to whom it may concern.
Let me commence with Obama. I was stupefied, to say the least, when I saw the response you dished out to the reporter that interrupted your speech last Friday. I must say that your attitude could be mistaken for cowardice. How can a mere Website reporter shout you down repeatedly while you were discussing an issue as important as immigration? Such an incident is unthinkable in my country.

Imagine my President giving a speech. I know he doesn’t do that often, but didnt you see the word ‘imagine’?

As a Nigerian, let me give you scenarios that made me fault you. First, that reporter shouldn’t have made it to the gathering because he works with a news agency based online only. Those folks always cause trouble sitting behind a computer. For you to be really
