http://ift.tt/2oT1EZm Ali Modu Sheriff National Working Committee (NWC) of Ali Modu Sheriff’s faction of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has assured party faithful and stakeholders to retain their faith in the party as an institution. In a chat with The Guardian, the acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Bernard Mikko, said the much-expected Supreme Court judgment on the leadership crisis in the party would strengthen the party. While citing section 63(1) of the PDP constitution, Mikko said there are stipulations that guarantee succession plans, stressing: “Our party is rooted at the wards; LGAs, States, Zonal Secretariats and National Headquarters are merely administrative units.“The apparent disunity in the party will be cured by the Supreme Court judgment, the reconciliation committee and commitment of loyal stakeholders.” Mikko said the clarification became necessary in view of insinuation in some quarters that the Supreme Court judgment, wherever it goes...

http://ift.tt/2pRnpG3 Bishop Charles Ighele Very early in our marriage, I had a disagreement with my wife. I wanted something done, but she disagreed with me. She said ‘no’ to what I was saying. It was not the ‘no’ she said that got me angry, but the manner in which she said it. Like many women who pour their feelings into their words, she poured her feelings into the ‘no.’ My response was pedestrian, the way many men will respond. I went on to emphatically educate her on the fact that I am the head of the house. And though I am not the shouting type, but I had my way. She told me she would do what I said, but that she was not convinced. She said, “I will do what you have said o, but I do not agree with you because I am not convinced.” I had my way, but I was not happy about the way I had my way. I wanted to be a husband, who will be a leader and not a boss, a dictator or a terrorist to my wife. I have a wife, who holds strongly to her views, who will not say ‘yes’ to my views and...

People are expected to get married between the age of 21 and 25, all other things being equal because of the responsibility of raising their children, while they a...

http://ift.tt/2qV4uwo Worried parents at the school yesterday The recent onslaught on schools in the country by kidnappers is sending warning signals to managers of educational facilities, especially those operating boarding facilities even as it is apparent that students are increasingly becoming soft targets for abductors. This development has not only put schools’ administrators on their toes, but has also led them to constantly re-strategise in order to beat the rampaging marauders to their game, a development, which places extra financial burden on them. These measures, which vary from one school to the other, depending on their pedigree and location, may include provision of backup support from armed policemen. In the last one and a half year, there have been attacks on schools by kidnappers. The latest in the string of the unfortunate incidents took place penultimate week at Igbo-Nla Model College in Epe, Lagos State, where six students were abducted. In October last...
