Zack is a 39-year-old I freak who runs a very high-tech cybercafe. He also has this reputation of being a chronic womanizer – a fact he readily agrees to, blaming his sexual addiction on his father, he explains. “My father never married my mother because she was in school when she had me. When my grandmother who was looking after me died, my mother was still busy pursuing her academic career, so it was decided I should go and live with my father. I was already a lanky lad of 15 and my dad was still unmarried. I couldn’t cook and it was quite expensive buying already cooked food, so he looked around for a maid. The first one lasted a few months and was sent packing because she stole. Then a co-worker bought this beauty to be our housemaid. She was a 19-year-old and the understanding was that she would learn a trade. So she settled for fashion designing. “It was inevitable that my old man would start sleeping with Moira, the ma...
Lagos – A head of tomorrow’s rescheduled presidential and National Assembly elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday said it would not conduct elections in volatile areas where security agencies said the safety of their officials could not be guaranteed, especially in some parts of the North East where Boko Haram insurgents had displaced thousands. It would be recalled that in 2015, the presidential election was shifted from February 14 to March 28, 2015 while the governorship and Assembly elections scheduled for February 28 were shifted to April 11 because of security issues. Also, the convoy of Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, was last week attacked by the Boko Haram splinter group loyal to the Islamic State, West Africa Province, in Gamboru area of the state while the governor was on election campaign. Speaking with Daily Independent on whether INEC would go ahead with the elections tomorrow despite the security situation in the...
