Usually when there is talk of a woman’s fear it focuses on pursuing her passion, being bold, or starting a business. We don’t often discuss the fears she may have that relate to her man and her marriage. The more we discuss the concerns we have in our marriage, the stronger our marriages will become. While married women typically present an unwavering confidence to the masses, underneath it all  there are a few things tha worry her about her most sacred relationship. She is worried her husband will lose interest and cheat. Of course there will always be women who may be prettier than us or have a better body than us. So sometimes feeling a little jealous or insecure is a very real concern. Add to that how glorified cheating and side chicks have become today, it heightens a wife’s fear of losing her husband. The reality is we can’t control our husband’ every move. If they decide to cheat it’s usually because of their own selfish actions and not us. However, we are in con

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, on Thursday declared that God will visit the blood of people killed by suspected herdsmen on their killers and sponsors. Fayose spoke in Makurdi, the Benue State capital during his visit to commiserate with the State Governor, Samuel Ortom over killings by suspected herdsmen.

He also declared support for the Benue State Anti-Grazing Law and urged the people of the State to stand by the law.

The Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has said in a new video that he is tired of the calamity befalling his group. “I am tired of this calamity; it is better I die and go to rest in paradise”, he said at the end of the 10-minute video. According to Premiumtimes, in the video, delivered chiefly in Hausa, Mr. Shekau couldn’t hide his frustration on the continued hostility and loss of his supporters to government troops. With a broken voice that clearly betrayed his emotion, Mr. Shekau pleaded with his non-combatant members across Nigeria to pick up arms and help him fight till he drops dead. The terror group’s leader, however, remained defiant. Flanked by two hooded armed men, Mr. Shekau said the latest claim by the military that the group had been sent packing from Sambisa forest was false. He boasted that he is still in Sambisa forest and still controls the territory. He said that his men would continue to fight regardless of the recent induction of Cameroonian soldiers

Sequel to recent calls by some section of the country for the creation of colonies as a measure to stem the tide against herder/farmer clashes, a former Governor of Plateau State and Senator representing Plateau North, Jonah Jang, said creating colonies is like colonising the citizenry after they have been colonized by the British. Jang disclosed this in a chat with journalists in Jos the Plateau State Capital. “I have said that we were colonized by the British, we cannot be colonized by the herdsmen again. What do you mean by colony? Look, cattle rearing is farming, animal husbandry. “There are farmers in diverse areas, why do you want to start giving cattle rearing such level of priority? Will you give the same priority to those that are rearing dogs, pigs, snakes and so on? It is a private business. The former Governor maintained that, “I had said when I was in government that to me, we have seen how cow owners in the United States and other developed countries operate. Th

The Senator representing Kaduna North in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, Suleiman Othman Hunkuyi, on Thursday, vowed not to support Governor Nasir el-Rufai re-election bid over what he described as anti-people’s policies.

Hunkuyi, who is a convener of a campaign called “Thunb Down Revolution” said he would not support the $350 million loan of the state government when the purpose was not clearly stated.

Kaduna state senator Shehu Sani today lamented the ceaseless killings going on across the country saying if government could not protect the lives and properties of the people they are serving, then it has lost the essence of being in power. Senator Sani was speaking today at plenary when he came under Order 43 to explain unreported killings going on in Birnin Gwari local government area of Kaduna state. According to him, the local government in the last two to three years has been under siege of armed herdsmen and bandits who have made life intolerable to the people of that part of the state. “It is one issue that has not been able to get the national attention or the global spotlight. Just few days ago, about seven persons were killed, and continually the killings have been so on a daily basis that even the media don’t take much time to give it a space in their pages of newspapers. “I am deeply concerned that the government is losing the grip, that we cannot guarantee the safet

A Coalition of over 200 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), on Tuesday, in Abuja, commenced a nationwide mass rally in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term in office. The NGOs, under the aegis of Forum of Non-Governmental Organizations in Nigeria (FONGON), said the step became imperative as Buhari’s administration was putting Nigeria on a solid footing, adding that only looters, economic saboteurs and unpatriotic fellows who were feeling the heat of his administration’s anti-corruption would not want him beyond 2019. Addressing the mammoth crowd at the Unity Fountain, Abuja, the National Coordinator, FONGON, Comrade Wole Badmus, said: “we have chosen to come out this time because there seems to be an orchestrated and well-choreographed campaign going on across the country at the moment to demonize Buhari’s administration and hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians into believing that the administration has achieved nothing since assuming office.” The supporters, howeve

A Lagos-based constitutional lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief Mike Ozekhome, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari not to take away the freedom of speech the same way he has allegedly taken food from the mouths Nigerians. Ozekhome was reacting to accusation by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, that the nation’s media was “promoting hate speeches” and not supporting government. The senior lawyer pointed out that a report could not amount to hate speech when the media was accurately narrating events that took place. Fielding questions from Sun, Ozekhome explained, “You are merely narrating an event that took place and in the write-up, some of us told the President what to do. “For instance, we told him to relocate the Inspector General of Police and send the military there because the police do not have the capacity to curtail the issue. “The military should be redeployed to states, like Benue, Taraba a

The Nigeria police has reacted to its order to arrest Kassim Aregbua, spokesman to former military president, Ibrahim Babangida over anti- Buhari statement.

But another statement allegedly issued by the former Military President called on Nigerians to disregard the earlier statement by Afegbua.

He said, ” Yes the IGP has ordered his arrest for making false injurious statement, defamation of character and an act to bring down peace in the country. “We ha

The police or other law enforcement agencies can declare a person wanted if they find reasons to do so, particularly if the person is a suspect in the commission of a crime and is on the run. The statement maintained that the public was fully aware that Afegbua was discharging his duty to his principal, General Ibrahim Babangida

Former chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Mohammad Oroji has warned Nigerians should stop making noise about Fulani Herdsmen in other to enable government to address the issue legitimately. He likewise cautioned that mobility of herders ought not be limited in light of the fact that the Nigerian constitution did not control anybody from going about unreservedly. Talking to the press on Sunday, Oroji said: “the issue of herdsmen and farmers has now turned into politics issues since some detestable individuals are profiting from it for their egotistical advantages.” He said it was narrow minded for anyone to deny the herders the privilege to flexibility of development as ensured by the Constitution, similarly as it was underhanded and satisfactory for anybody to slaughter. He added that : “The emergency of herders and ranchers isn’t valid yet governmental issues, both have related calmly for more than 500 years in Nigeria together. “The legi

Makurdi – The Benue community has called on four regional socio-cultural organisations in the country among them Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Middle Belt Forum and people of the Niger Delta to join forces with it to defend its people against attacks by Fulani herdsmen. The Benue community may have made the call following the hand of friendship extended to it by the regions under the aegis of South South/Middle Belt Forum in January. The leaders of the South-South/Middle Belt Forum who were in the state last month to condole with the State Governor, Samuel Ortom had said the Benue people should call on them in time of need. The 12 ethnic nationalities also threw their weight behind the call for restructuring of the the nation, especially regarding the call for state police. Their decision is hinged on the basis that they have lost confidence in security agencies in the country including the Nigeria Police to defend its people against attacks by Fulani herdsmen.

The former leader in a statement said that “In the past few months and weeks, I have played host to many concerned Nigerians who have continued to express legitimate and patriotic worry about the state of affairs in the country. Some of them have continued to agonize about the turn of events and expressly worried why we have not gotten our leadership compass right as a country with so much potential and opportunity for all. Some, out of frustration, have elected to interrogate the leadership question and wondered aloud why it has taken this long from independence till date to discover the right model on account of our peculiarities. “At 57, we are still a nation in search of the right leadership to contend with the dynamics of a 21st century Nigeria.
