DailyMail reports Elizabeth had just had sex
with her partner Eric, but well after he climbed
out of bed, Liz was hitting new peaks of
pleasure.
About an hour into her epic climax, Liz started
to panic.

By the second hour, the panting woman was
rushed to hospital where medical staff thought
she was in labor.
Liz's orgasm lasted for over three hours before
she finally found relief.
The young couple shared their bizarre story
during last night's TLC show 'Sex Sent Me to the
ER'.
Liz, who didn't give her last name, recounted
how she tried everything from jumping to
drinking to shake the ache.
'I started hopping up and down to see if that
would do anything,' Liz said about her first
frenzied hour.
I started trying to drink wine to see if that
would calm down my system. I tried just about
every possible thing I could do to stop having an
orgasm.'


Eric drove his partner to the ER, where, he
recalled, some people stared and shared their
insights.
'As much of a relief as it was to have her in the
hospital, now there were eyes on me and I was
still feeling very tense and uptight and
uncertain about what was going on and what
was going to happen,' Eric said.
Liz's orgasm continued for another hour in the
hospital before it finally waned.

As you read this, a credible source has revealed that Rivers State
Police Commissioner, Joseph Mbu, has been ordered to release the
detained armed thugs of George Sekibo, a Senator; and Evans Bipi, a
member of the Rivers State House of Assembly, who were caught with
arms by JTF on their way to Rivers State.
The release order, according to findings, is coming from President
Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience.
Sekibo and Bipi are both close political allies of the First Lady. The
six suspected thugs were arrested by the Joint Military Task Force
(JTF) on their way to Ogu (hometown of the two politicians) in Rivers
State.
The JTF later handed them over to the police for prosecution. But Mrs
Jonathan was said to have ordered Mbu, the CP, to release the
suspects and return to them the arms and ammunition found in their
possession.
Meanwhile, a crisis of confidence seems to be brewing between the
JTF/Army and the police in Rivers State on how the story of the arrest
of the armed thugs leaked to the media.
Mbu was said to have complained loudly that the story must have
been leaked to the media by the Army.
It was further gathered that Mbu equally lamented that the other
security agencies, namely Army, Navy, Air Force and SSS, in the state
are not helping him and the police in the fight against Governor
Rotimi Amaechi.
According to a Daily Independent report, Mbu allegedly cited the
arrest and the subsequent leakage of it to the media as an example,
adding that if it was the Rivers State Police Command that made the
arrest, the media won’t have heard about it.
But a source within the JTF dismissed Mbu’s claims and described
them as “ridiculous and preposterous”.
The source maintained that the Army do not get involved in politics
and can not take sides in political fights.
The source, an Army personnel, said the Army is for all Nigerians, and
added that “Mbu must be a joker, if he expects the Army to do
otherwise.”
You may wish to know that all those arrested are from the same
Okrika tribe with Patience Jonathan.

Dear Maheeda,
I am quite sure that you will find this piece of write-up not
appealing but the fact is just that you need to re-check yourself
and also re-structure your life. I am not preaching the gospel to
you, neither am I seeking public attention.
I read one of your recent interview with one of Africa biggest
Newspaper where you said that you are proud of your nude
pictures. You also talked about your background which I found
so rough and am very sorry for that. Nobody would have prayed
for such background and I really appreciate your courage and
struggle girl (Thumbs UP).
But all the same Maheeda, Ramsey Noah slept under Lagos
Bridge without food. He struggled without exposing his butt or
circulating his nude pics and now he is one of the biggest Actors
we see on screen in Africa.
Did you know that Mercy Johnson once lived in an uncompleted
building as a young girl with a lot of dreams? She struggled and
went through a lot of tribulations but now she is also one of the
biggest Actress in Africa.
*You don’t have to pose nude before you become great or before you
actualize your dreams. Upcoming Acts take note of that.
STOP presenting yourself has a born again Christian. Chai! Satan
Punish Devil. My dear you are very much far from it. I wonder if you
know the meaning of been a born again. It about having total
submission to God. Been spiritually and morally okay which I don’t
think you are.I can’t still believed that you were once a gospel singer.
It is never to late for you to change your heart and your ways.
You claimed that your mum and husband supports you. Who cares if
they support you or not ? What matters most is for you to get back to
your senses. Funny enough I can’t masturbate to your nude pictures
not to talk of deriving pleasure from staring at it. You want attention,
you are an attention seeker.
That’s cool but get your attention using another means. You put
nude pics because you claimed that you are into what you call
‘showbiz’ but I call it ‘showkey’.
BE WISE SISTER MAHEEDA. ENOUGH OF THE DIRTY YANSH WEY WE
DEY SEE. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE. PEOPLE ARE
WATCHING YOU. BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL.

nickname for his incredible ability of scooping
pieces of chicken from burning-hot oil with his
bare hands.
The 50-year-old Chiang Mai-based street cook
can sink his fingers into 480 degrees hot grease
without getting so much as a blister on his
hands, and his amazing ability has won him
international fame. People from all over the
world come to his “Fried Chicken Iron Hands
Man” food stall to see Kann use his hands to
scoop out the chicken and he and his
wife travel the globe showing off his gift.

Superhands has no idea why he can do what he
does, but he’s just happy it brings more
and more customers for his business, every
day.
Kann Trichan first discovered his unusual
gift seven years ago, when he accidentally got
hot oil splattered all over his body. While
attending his giant woks, he noticed a squirrel
eating a mango on a branch just above him. The
squirrel dropped the big fruit right in the oil
splattering it all over Kann’s body and head. A
taxi took him home and when he got up the
next day ready to go see a doctor, he took a
look in the mirror only to see he had no burns.
The redness was fading away and his skin was
practically intact, so he just decided to go back
to work, to the astonishment of his fellow street
vendors.
From there on, his reputation grew, and
everyone wanted to see the man who survived a
shower of hot oil without a single burn.
Trichan began experimenting and noticed he
was able to use his bare hands to handle the
pieces of chicken in hot oil so he decided to use
it to attract customers. They were loving it and
business was booming. Seven years later, Kann
Trichan is still operating his food stall in front
of the Chang Mai technical college, surrounded
by curious tourists wanting to see his hands
dipped in boiling grease. Kann Trichan also
holds the Guinness Record for picking 20 pieces
of chicken from oil heated to 480 degrees
Celsisus, in just one minute. He says he can feel
the oil is hot when he dips his hands in it, but
it simply leaves no mark.
Scientists have yet to unravel this peculiar gift.
done after this afternoon's 2-0 victory at Derby
in the FA Cup.
Like at Southampton on Wednesday, the first
half was entertaining and end to end, if shorn
of goals, and like at Southampton it needed a
second-half header to open the scoring.

After Michael Essien was replaced John Mikel
Obi took the captain's armband, and, on his
300th appearance in a Chelsea shirt, capped his
day with a goal, thumping home Willian's free-
kick with a bullet header.
Oscar added a second soon after, swerving the
ball past Derby's keeper Lee Grant with a fine
strike, and the remaining minutes were played
out in relative comfort as we eventually eased
into the fourth round, where a home tie with
Stoke City awaits.
Jose Mourinho said he was delighted with his
side's attitude against a side going well in the
Championship…
'The game was difficult,' said Mourinho. 'In the
first half we played quite well, we were not far
from scoring but it was still 0-0 at half-time
and that is a big risk, because after that if the
opponent scores you are in trouble.
'They got the message that in the second half we
needed an extra intensity. I decided to change
Essien for Eden Hazard to bring an extra
attacking player on to make it more difficult
for them.
'The team played seriously, we won, job done.'
It was a landmark day for John Mikel Obi, in
many respects…
'I never recognise his ability to score goals!'
the Portuguese laughed.
'I recognise his ability to play as an
anchorman, to play that position in a very
comfortable way, with no mistakes. He reads
the game well, plays in an intelligent and
safe way, but I never recognise his
goalscoring appetite.
'There was a smile on my face [when he
scored]. For some reason Essien gave him the
armband, normally it should go to Ashley
Cole, so maybe it made him believe he was a
goalscorer!
'It was important for us, we were dominating
and dominating, creating and creating but the
goal was not arriving. It was like the winning
goal.'

kidneys, heart and liver. It causes abnormalities and damage to
those areas.
10. Metabolism : Regular consumption of instant noodles affect

In what could only be a testament to the thriving
industry now known
as ‘baby factories’, an investigation by Campaign
for Democracy (CD)
has revealed that no fewer than 2500 teenagers
have been rescued from
such ‘factories’ across the South-East states in
the last one year. The
investigations also revealed that the victims, who
were mostly pregnant
minors, were freed by the Police and other security
agencies from the
various illegal orphanages where they were
detained.
According to a statement released by the group
and signed by its
Chairman in the South-East, Uzor A. Uzor, most of
the teenage
pregnant mothers lured into the trade with
monetary offers by the ‘baby
factory’ operators, while others were forced into
the infamous trade by
poverty and illiteracy.
The CD noted that within the period under review,
Abia and Imo
states topped the list with highest number of
teenagers involved in the
infamous trade.
The group attributed the increase in ‘baby factory’
operations in the zone
to high rate of youth unemployment and poverty
occasioned by the failure
of successive governments in the region to put
adequate measures in place
to empower the youths by creating meaningful
employment.
“The rising cases of baby factory in the South-East
is a result of the
failure of the state governments in the South-East
to create jobs for the
teeming youths, especially the helpless girls who
are easily lured into the
trade.
“There is no other part of the country that has the
problem of baby
factory; it is a peculiar case with the South-East.
“In Abia and Imo states, about 1,800 pregnant
teenagers and babies
were rescued from ‘baby factories’ in the last 12
months and the number
is still rising”, the CD stated.
It further tasked the South-East governors on the
need to urgently fight
the menace to secure the future of the teeming
youths, who are currently
threatened.
“The governors in the zone should collaborate
with security operatives to
fish out those behind the trade and rehabilitate
the rescued teenagers,”
CD charged.
It would be recalled that the Imo State
Commissioner of Police,
Muhammad Musa Katsina, had during a media
chat in Owerri, the
state capital, lamented the rising cases of
discovery of ‘baby factory’ in
the South-East but vowed that the police would
not relent in its effort to
stem the ugly tide.
According to him, “the rate is alarming in all the
states. It had been
there until we began the clampdown on the
operators and we will
continue until we rid the society of this set of
people and other criminal
elements”

some thoughts pop
into their mind. Some think UNILAG girls are
ari-sto’s, some think they are materialistic
girls, others think of them as chop and go,
some see them as parole girls, some see them
as stranded girls (cuz dey like entering cars
hehehe). And the list continues.
But did you know that UNILAG babes have
different characteristics, depending on their
hostels? Though some of them are not true but
most of them are true.
There are 7 female hostels in UNILAG. So check
out the classification below:

Makama Girls:
M.T.H Babes and Fagunwa Chicks: It is said that
to get a Makama girl all you need are 2 hot
meat pies and a chilled bottle of fanta and she’s
all yours ……..PS: make sure the meatpies are
hot and the fanta is chilled, apparently they
prefer it that way.
To get a MTH and Fagunwa babe all you need is
just 200 Naira suya and they are yours, if
you’re feeling buoyant you can manage to buy
them chicken suya instead, things like that
tickle their fancy.
These three hostels are situated close to each
other inside New hall (Unilag’s ghetto) thus
making them neighbours. People say new hall
girls don’t have class (true), some say they love
to party hard (very true), some also say they
are cheap (well, not so true) but we all know
they ain’t classy.
Every time I go to visit someone (Girls) in new
hall I’m always ashamed or scared, I’m always
scared cuz new hall boys might rob me and
beat the crap outa me and I’m also ashamed
that some new hall girls might obtain me and
share the money amongst themselves to buy
suya.
Most 100 level girls stay in these 3 halls thus
making them jobless, they never stay inside
their hostels so it’s not unusual if you see them
roaming around new hall looking for boys to
buy them food and other edible trinket, for now
let’s call them Ghetto Girls or Suya Girls.
Moremi Girls:
Also known as chicken and chips babes, to get
an audience with a moremi babe you must
submit a plate of chicken and chips and the
she’ll listen to you. It doesn’t necessarily mean
that they will answer you it just simply means
they’ll give u an audience. They prefer older
men with cars and they date guys with money
and mostly club boys, but we have some good
girls (nerds) amongst them. Let’s call Moremi
girls Chicken and Chips Girls.
Honours Girls:
Australia is a county where people know about
but nobody visits, that’s exactly how honours
hall is. It’s situated in a bushy swamp in the
middle of nowhere so they barely get visitors.
Most times I go there I see men with cars
toasting those small girls, honours girls are
boring girls with no event in their life so let’s
call them Village girls or Bush Girls. And yeah
Honours hall week are the best female hall
week in UNILAG, yes I said it.
Amina Girls:
I’m pretty sure you have heard about aristo and
runs girls in UNILAG, well 70% of the aristo
and runs girl stay in amina hall, they are
situated at the gate area so when the big
alhaji’s and chiefs come to pick up girls the
quickly branch at amina negotiate the price
*coughs 50k* and they carry the girl outside
school.
There was one time I was walking around
amina hall in the night and I mistook it for a
brothel, not that I know what a brothel looks
like. Let’s call amina girls ARISTOcrats, ah yes,
Amina hall has one mad kissing spot outside it
just right in front of the Queen Amina statue.
That’s where you’ll find the broke boys without
rides kissing their babes, it’s always a pleasant
sight to watch.
Kofo hall:
Also known for its Aristocracy it’s just there
and random, pardon my English but they have
the deadest hall week. Even if I was paid to go
to their hall week I won’t go, you can NEVER
catch me going to look for a girl in kofo. I’ve
asked many guys what they know Kofo girls for
and their replies are either “I’ve never done a
Kofo girl before” or “Abeg where is Kofo Hall’
and “I don’t know”.
The reason Kofo hall is dead is cuz most girls in
faculty of education stay there and as we all
know girls in faculty of education are dead, no
offence but we all know its true. I don’t know
what to classify them under, but I know they
don’t know how to throw a party.
These classifications are according to Jaja and
Mariere boys, the gentlemen of Unilag and we
are authorities on issues like this. If you’re the
type of guy that double dates please don’t go to
new hall and be cheating on them with another
new hall girl cuz gist spreads there.
Find a girlfriend in Honours and another side
chick in newhall, the probability of them
meeting are very slim. If you have money and
you know you’re ready to spend then you
should date a moremi girl, they are classy and
poise women who like the good things of life
and also enjoy being spoiled silly.
Amina girls are not owned by Unilag boys, they
belong to our oga’s at the top aka Alhaji’s and
Chiefs. I have no idea who kofo girls belong to.
All in all we love Unilag girls, especially
Moremi babes.

A California man was arrested after allegedly
stealing human brain samples from a history
museum and selling them on the online auction
site.
David Charles, 21, was arrested in December
when officers received a call from a buyer who
became suspicious about six jars of brain tissue
he had bought on eBay.
It is claimed Charles broke into the Indiana
Medical History Museum on several occasions
and stole the brain samples from dead
psychiatric patients.
"A museum’s mission is to hold these materials
as cultural and scientific objects in the public
interest," the museum’s executive director,
Mary Nottage said.
"To have that disturbed — to have that broken —
is extraordinarily disturbing to those of us in the
museum field."
The buyer contacted the museum after he
spotted their labels on the container he bought
from a middleman on eBay.
Detectives traced the transactions and spoke to
the seller who said was given them by Mr
Charles.
"It is a peculiar situation," Indianapolis police
officer Christopher Wilburn said.

The sefie of Susann Stacy and husband Donnie
Stacy
A woman was saved thanks to her Facebook
friends.
Susann Stacy of Kentucky, was beaten by her
husband before he ripped out the phone from
the wall so she could not call for help.
The quick thinking woman posted a bloody
selfie on Facebook, and begged for help online.
Stacy told police in Leslie County, that she had
no other option but to plead for help from her
Facebook friends because she had no cell phone
service and no working home phone, but she
did have a WIFI connection to the Internet.
Her Facebook friends, who saw the post, called
the sheriff's department.
Stacy’s nightmare began when her husband
heard her in the bathroom talking to another
man.
When she came out of the bathroom, her angry
husband pistol whipped her and tore the phone
out of the wall so she couldn't call 911.
In the selfie, Stacy was seen with several
lacerations to the head.
By the time deputies got to Stacy's house, her
husband, Donnie Stacy, had already left.
Officers found the handgun he used to beat his
wife under a tire swing that the couple's son
plays on.
Officers found Donnie Stacy nearby, and he was
arrested.
He is facing charges of Domestic violence
in love with your girl and she just breaks up
with you out of the blue?

A lot of guys have been a victim of such but her
saying it's over does not necessarily mean it has
to be.
Instead of pining and living in misery over the
break up, how about you try these simple tips
below to get your ex-girlfriend back.
Let her go : This may seem like you are doing
the opposite of what feels natural, but women
enjoy the process of the chase as much as men
do. A post-break up woman will need
validation that you are heart broken over her.
By acting like you are over the relationship,
this will naturally arouse her curiosity in you.
If she is curious about you, then she is thinking
about you, and this is always the first step.
Women also do not like men who are
indecisive. If you show that you have made a
conscious decision and that you have followed
through in getting over her, then she will keep
thinking about you to try and figure it out. Yes,
this means stop all texting, calling,
Facebooking, emails etc. Do not act like your
life is over. Act like everything has gone back to
normal but just that little bit better. Yes, avoid
drunk dialling or drunken texting. Remember,
women are not attracted to guys that ‘need’
them.
Have fun: If you are seen having fun, then she
will definitely know that you are over her, and
will be curious about you. Keep in mind that
most women have friends, and if they see you
having fun, then it will be reported back to
your ex girlfriend. She will remember what it
was that originally attracted her to you. Keep in
mind that ‘having fun’ does not constitute
substance abuse – getting too drunk, too loud,
or too rowdy. A lot of men fall into this trap,
and it just reads as being pathetic. Have fun
with confidence and she will notice.
Tease her : When you do get the chance to speak
with her, then tease her a little – nothing too
drastic, the point is not to insult her. The thing
is women usually react to what they cannot
have. If you appear emotionally unavailable
and throw her a few insults, you will be
surprised with the result. Women say they like
nice guys, but really, they are not attracted to
them. Start with something like, “I like your
dress… I’ve been 3 other girls wearing the same
one today.” Get the idea? Women are used to
guys being overly nice to them. Do not do what
they are doing.
Self Improvement: Pick up those weights, that
guitar, learn that new language. Any endeavour
into self improvement is not only a serious
boost of confidence for you, it shows her that
you look after yourself/are cultured etc and
have other, interesting activities that you’d
much rather put your time into. Again, this
attitude may feel unnatural, but if your ex
girlfriend sees what you could have been up to
instead of spending time with her, this will
arouse her curiosity, and give you a killer new
hobby that will make you into a more learned,
more creative, or fitter person (i.e more
attractive person).
Never , ever, ever, ever bring up the possibility
of getting back together again. Do not make the
first move. Let her make the first move. The
trick is to not to get your ex girlfriend to come
back to you. It is to make it so that she cannot
stay away from you. This can involve a lot of
patience, but the pay off is always worth it.
Move on : Hey, if all of this doesn’t work out at
the end of the day, then take the lessons that
you’ve learned and move on. Dating other
women is a good option. It boosts your
confidence while making your ex girlfriend
jealous, and could be the pathway to finding a
relationship that works better than your
previous one.

The NOI Polls, which is an opinion polling and
research organisation, established by the
current Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
and named after her, yesterday released
results from its poll carried out in January
2013, in commemoration of the International
Day of the Girl Child.
In order to commemorate this
event and honour the girl child this
special day, NOI Polls Limited
released one of the polls we
conducted in the first quarter of the
year 2013, which was focused on
the challenges faced by the girl child
in Nigeria and indeed the world
over as a result of the incidence of
rape among women in the society.
34 percent of the participants
believed that indecent dressing was
the main cause of rape in the
society; 18 percent believed
unemployment was the cause; nine
percent believed it was caused by
lack of moral values and another
nine percent believed it was caused
by the inability to control sexual
urges; seven percent said it was
caused by faulty upbringing. Five
percent of the participants believed
rape was caused by illiteracy about
women’s rights, ungodliness and bad
company.
Kelly Hansome took acerbic shots at some popular Nigerian
artistes years back. M.I who was an upcoming artiste as at the
time wasn’t spared of the ‘Maga don pay’ crooner’s criticism.
This resulted in an exchange of hate tracks between Kelly
Handsome and M.I. According to reports, Kelly Handsome
reached out to M.I and ended their five year old feud. The duo
performed together on stage during the CARNIRIV festival.

“If the President and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria insists he wants
something and you say you will not allow him to have it, what do you
think will happen?” The above was the question asked by a former
state governor in Nigeria’s South-west. He answered the question
himself: “War”
But at the front of this war would be some actors:
President Goodluck Jonathan, Bola Tinubu, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari,
Bamangar Tukur, Senate President David Mark, Speaker Aminu Waziri
Tambuwal, Pa E K Clark, Chief Tony Anenih, PDP and APC governors
and legislators, INEC Chairman Attahiru Jega. The list is endless.
Now, for war to be just, there is required a just cause. That is
according to Thomas Aquinas. A scholastic appreciation of Aquinas’
position, without prejudice to the pacifism that Christianity preaches,
posits that it is sometimes necessary to “preserve or restore peace in
the face of aggression; and there must be conditions precedent”.
Aquinas called these conditions jus ad bellum (right to war) which
were different from the jus in bello (the rules of just conduct in war).
For a just war to be hinged on a just cause, it must have rightful
intention, authority of the sovereign and the raison d’etre.
In simple, plain language, all these relate to the need to preserve or
restore a status quo that has peace or the well-being of the state and
sovereign as it’s central objective.
Now, Nigeria’s 2014 will witness some war – in a manner of speaking.
It would be a war of many sides; a war possibly of ideas, of intentions
(seen and unseen), and of ego.
But it would also be a war of stupidity in which all sides would
attempt to outdo one another in a show of shame.
It would be a war of the locusts.
For the average Nigerian who is not directly involved in this war, he
could as well go to hell. Whereas the warring parties make unbridled
pretense to fighting for the masses, daylight is easily brought into the
pretense as the masses are almost always left for dead.
Beyond the mantra of non-performance that the opposition continues
to chant is the real issue of loss of political power and control by a
section of the country. This has been further accentuated by the role
fate played in the death of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in May
2010, paving the way for President Jonathan’s emergence. Worse still
for them, Jonathan contested and won a supposed four-year tenure
meant for the North and is now in the process of seeking a
constitutionally guaranteed second term of office.And that is where
the war starts and ends.
Unfortunately for Jonathan, through a shambling mix of myopic
advisers, associates, friends and family members,what ought to follow
a Nigerian pattern of easily retaining power is now in danger of
crumbling; it is for this same reason that some have poked fun at
both Mr. President and his office. For the first time in Nigeria’s
history, a sitting President is daily buffeted by confetti of insults and
abuses.
There is an Arab saying that a pack of sheep led by a lion is more
likely to defeat a pack of lions led by a sheep. We have consistently
written about the problem of a gentleman president. What makes it
more pitiable is that even around Mr. President there are dangerous
locusts.
Take, for instance, one Asari Dokubo who is allowed by the authorities
to insult other Nigerians because the presidency of Nigeria has
become commoditized in his view and, therefore, is a property owned
by a kinsman.
Then there is the Information Minister and supervising Minister of
Defense, Labaran Maku, who said publicly that government is no
longer bothered about criticism because “we are used to it; Mr.
President is used to it”. That statement means Nigerians can go to
hell. That is a wrong approach.
Might Maku be reminded, the selfsame thing he is today criticizing
about the media was a shade of what he did and which made him hit
limelight while he was a journalist. Somebody once described him as
a minister who speaks before he thinks.
That may not be true and it is uncharitable. But Maku and a few
around Jonathan should strive genuinely to provide wise counsel and
not the counsel of the locusts the likes of which had led past leaders
nowhere because there shall be 10 kings for 10 seasons – nothing
lasts forever.
Opportunities still abound.
Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 – 1527) made us understand that “A
prudent ruler cannot and must not honour his words”. The context of
this statement fits perfectly the Olusegun Obasanjo-inspired PDP
zoning arrangement of eight years South and eight years North which
he tried to torpedo in 2006 with his Third Term agenda. For him to
now attempt to pull wool and counsel Jonathan not to do that which
is constitutionally guaranteed is not only wicked but ungodly.
To follow the counsel of Machiavelli comes with consequences. In
being prudent, the retention and stability of sovereignty constitute the
principal reason why a ruler exists. Whichever way it is achieved
becomes secondary and of less or no consequence.
So, is the President prudent enough not to honor his words?
He should be prudent and, therefore, cannot and must not honor his
words. Prudence in this context relates to him using the
instrumentality of the constitutionally guaranteed window to seek re-
election while prudently managing the affairs of state for the masses.
That is what he has been promising. That is what he promised again
during his latest broadcast. But has he delivered?

I've been seeing this picture all over the net since yesterday and I just
can't understand the fuzz. The photo was taken far back in 1997,
about 17 years ago, when Pastor Chris' hair was not shinning and he
didn't have enough cash to buy expensive suits and designer shirts.
Lol! But the man's level has changed, big time...
This Naija girl is just too good at it. Too flexible, I can’t just stop
watching it.*winks* So fasten your seat belt as you “play” the video.
And don’t forget to scroll down for more videos.
