Nobody Should Vote In The Coming Elections - Etcetera Writes

Some people have accused me of not liking politicians, so let me set the record straight. I don’t! They have done more harm to our nation than the military (their first cousins). At no period in our nationhood has the opportunity for reversing the dehumanising nature of a politically corrupt society like ours been greater. Every Nigerian who seeks freedom should rethink all temptations to rush to the polling station on February 14 in an attempt to further entrench corruption with a transfusion of his or her energies. Let us instead participate in a peaceful revolution to rescue this country from disintegration and death. It is better for any society that has been shredded by corruption to undergo a few headaches, fevers, and stomach upsets in the interim. It is better to rid Nigeria of her sickness once and for all than continue our habit of suppressing the symptoms which is exactly what we’ll be doing voting for the same crop of corrupt politicians in the forthcoming elections.

A man discovered that he had a 61-year-old son he had never met – after he found a letter his wife had hidden in a drawer for 55 years.

The letter had been sent to Tony Trapani, 81, by an ex-lover in 1959 – but his wife, who could not have children, had hidden it.

Trapani found it while cleaning out a filing cabinet after his wife’s death – and immediately tracked down his son, 61-year-old Samuel Childress.

Childress said that he had always believed his father wanted nothing to do with him.

A jealous housewife, Rosemary (surname withheld), in Oko-Ogbele community in Asaba, Delta State, has allegedly bathed her rival with acid water and jumped into River Niger.

Report said the house wife had complained of the frequent visits to the husband by the woman. During one of the visits, Rosemary had warned her rival that she would teach her some lessons.

It was reliably gathered that the husband, a well-known fisherman and a native of Bomadi Community, who settled in the Oko-Ogbele community, had threatened to marry another woman when the wife became unruly.

It was gathered that she sometimes attacked the husband with dangerous weapons.

At some point, she was said to have ambushed her rival and poured substance suspected to be acid on her face.

An oil worker with Halliburton Nigeria Limited, Bankole Charles, must have thought he was playing with an ordinary woman when he met Loretta Odikagbo, on Badoo, a dating site on social media, and started a relationship with her.

Little did he know that the affair would end his life when the same lady led some men to his house to snuff life out of him when she found out that he was married with children.

The 28-year-old Okadigbo met the deceased who is from Ondo State on the site in 2013 and they kicked off a relationship without knowing he was a married man and had hopes of getting married to him till she found out that he was already taken and in a fit of jealousy, organized his murder.

The cartoon was included in the complaint and shows an ape dressed in a San Diego police uniform walking on patrol. In the cartoon, the officer is labeled “Cop McCarter”, a reference to Officer Frank McCarter, the first African American police officer in the city.

Breezy has already let it be known that he isn’t letting his latest run-in with the law dampen his spirits, and now it looks like he’s letting his Instagram do the talking on his feelings on the situation.

In his remarks shortly before signing the bill into law, Governor Fashola noted that it was important to secure land as an asset because of its importance to the prosperity of people, adding that in basic economics, land is a very important asset to capital formation.

The implication of the action of this so-called “Mr Clean” is nothing but perjury and we all know that this is a grave criminal offense under our laws and constitution.

Two prominent Nigerians the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen Muhammadu Buhari, mentioned as his classmates in secondary school – former president of the Court of Appeal (PCA), Justice Umaru Abdullahi and former inspector-general of police, Alhaji Ibrahim Cooomassie – last night spoke on the personality of Buhari.

Facebook Is Now Cited As A Factor In A Third Of Divorce Cases

It’s no secret that we have a tendency to over-share on Facebook, and now new statistics show that it’s being used as a source of evidence for a growing number of divorces.

Leeds-based law firm, Lake Legal have said that it was cited in more than a third (66 out of 200) of divorce cases they examined.

The firm’s managing partner, Lyn Ayrton, told MailOnline: ‘Social media provides an ongoing log of our lives. The sharing of written posts and pictures, often with geo-tagging, provides a record of activities that can be used in a court case.’

The law firm revealed that many of their cases revolved around the fact that people had used the site to track down and get back in touch with exes, or posted information that contradicted claims about their finances.

Press Statement By Buhari, GCFR, On The School Certificate Issue

Good Morning , Gentlemen of the Press.

I only consented to address you this morning because of the genuine concern expressed by many supporters and other well-meaning Nigerians that the issue be addressed. Otherwise, I would have dismissed it for what it is—sheer mischief and would not have considered it an issue worth the nation’s while.

I had assumed all along that all my records were in the custody of the Military Secretary of the Nigerian Army. Much to my surprise, we are now told that although a record of the result is available, there are no copies of the certificates in my personal file. This is why I formally requested my old school the Provincial Secondary School, Katsina [which is now known as Government College, Katsina] to make available the school’s copy of the result of the Cambridge/West African School Certificate. This will be made available to the press the moment this is available.

Afro Beat legend Femi Kuti releases the remix to his lead single Politics naa Big Business off the album “No Place for My Dreams”, this remix features new school legends 2Face Idibia and Sound Sultan.

In the midst of the election season Femi Kuti in his accustomed fashion passes a strong message to Nigerians. With the hopes of making them aware that the welfare of the country lies in their hands and that they should make informed decisions in choosing a leader who will put the people first and in the long term eradicate corruption.

2face and Sound Sultan show solidarity and share the same message in what they have highlighted to be a landmark to both their careers. They rebuked the trend of voters choosing their preferred candidates on the terms who gives them a brown envelop or bags of food and encouraged more informed decision making in casting their votes.

In an interview on Soundcity CityDivas show with Pearl, EME 's first lady, Niyola, revealed she was molested, like many women, while she was growing up.

"I have been molested quite a number of times. Thankfully, I haven't been raped. I have been molested by both people I never imagined would molest me...and obviously strangers as well. And it wasn't once, it wasn't twice. It wasn't three times. But what helped me was that I started to try to figure out at that time why anybody would want to do that to me or to any female. I realised it was cowardice. Alot of things could be done to prevent the situations and protect yourself. I remember for a very long time, I would never visit guys.

At the beginning of the year, star actress, Stella Damasus announced that every Monday on i2radio in Atlanta, USA, she would be hosting her talk show, ‘Undiluted with Stella Damasus’; Hard talk. No barriers. No limitations.

Yesterday, Monday, January 19, 2015, her theme was ‘should a married man/woman allow their spouses have a best friend of the opposite s3x?’

Surprisingly, one of Stella’s guests on the show was Daniel Ademinokan, her rumoured husband.

On her views on a married man/woman allowing their spouses have a best friend of the opposite s3x, she said, “For a married woman or man, I do not subscribe to having a best friend of the opposite s3x.”

On his take on same subject matter, Daniel Ademinokan explained that, "Before I got married, I had many female friends. One of them I fell in love with because we were just so fond of ourselves, but she didn’t feel the same way for me.

“From that experience, I was smart enough to know that it may not be safe and sane to discuss issues that will stir up emotions. Usually, best friends don’t set boundaries. I personally as a guy would not advice to have a best friend that is female or vice versa.
