Everything you need to live well A lot of people believe that long distance relationships are never going to work out. Your family may discourage it, and some of your friends will probably advise you not to take it too seriously, so you don’t get your heart broken. Nobody says it is going to be easy and the distance factor means you have to work extra hard. However, the distance also makes the simplest things the sweetest, being able to hold the other person’s hand, eating together at the same table, feeling each other’s touch, it makes you cherish and appreciate the little things a lot more. Here are a few ways you can keep the flame burning; 1.

Everything you need to live well While men slept, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) decided to postpone the 2019 Presidential elections, an election that took the body four years to prepare for. As at yesterday, the 15th of February, all conversations across various platforms were politically influenced. Nigerians in the Diaspora were not left out as some flew in to their various locations to vote for who will become the next president of the Federal Republic. International observers, as well as other countries, had pledged their support to ensure that the elections are free and fair. Various statistics and articles had also strategically predicted who had a fair chance to win the elections. However, INEC’s chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu decided to slap Nigerians in the face with an announcement by 2:54 am citing “identified challenges” as its problem. Disappointed Nigerians have voiced their opinion on the matter. Saadah M (@MTuity1)- So who w...
A Benin socio-cultural group, Great Benin Descendants, GBD, worldwide, has warned the leadership of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, against including Benin kingdom as part of its enclave. The group noted that the Benin kingdom that has existed for more than 5,000 years could not be part of Biafra. Coordinator-General of GBD, Imasuen Izoduwa gave the warning while addressing newsmen in Benin City yesterday, where he also cautioned the Ijaw in Benin kingdom to stop being “antagonistic by their utterances and actions against the Benin kingdom.” GDB frowned on a statement where the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, was quoted as saying that South-South geopolitical zone is part of Biafra. The group said the statement was an aberration to the pre-colonial and post-colonial history of Nigeria. It added, “History easily remembers that the term Biafra is a borrowed word from the Portuguese colony in present-day Cameroon and a supposed secessionist nation borrowed a name that is fore...
The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), in Oyo State, Chief Bolaji Ayorinde (SAN), on Friday condemned the federal government of Nigeria over the introduction of the trader money scheme.

The SDP gubernatorial candidate said, “Ten thousand naira cannot do anything for traders. “We will set up cooperative structures that can actually solve the problems of traders. “The structure has been tested and tru...
