APC To Begin Nationwide Membership Regristration In November

The All Progressives’ Congress (APC) has said that it will “tentatively” begin the registration of its members nationwide in November. The Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in Abuja.”We have to plan the logistics, if you do not plan well you are not going to achieve anything. “So what we are doing now, we are at the level of planning because the exercise will take place all over Nigeria,” he said. According to him, the nationwide membership registration will strengthen the party and enable it to contest all future elections in the country.

Mohammed said that the party had harmonised and finalised the process as well as created a format of its activities that would enable it to participate in future elections. He said that harmonisation of membership registration into the party would also be carried out from ward level to ensure that all its members are registered.He said APC had successfully conducted its primaries in Anambra, noting that, “it is on record that we are the only political party that has a transparent and direct primary. “This simply means that our party loyalists voted from the ward to the state levels.” he said.

Muhammed expressed optimism that the party would excel in the forthcoming November 16th governorship election in Anambra. He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies to discharge their responsibility credibly. “We just hope that INEC would create a level playing ground, the security agencies will do the same, and violence will be curbed,” he said.

Ladies, Here Are Issues That Could Prevent You From Getting Married

In this part of the world many ladies might end up singles for life for numerous reasons. Major among these are:
1. Media exposure. - It is so disheartening how a lady will glue her eyes on a mobile phone from morning till night, only to raise it up to focus on TV to watch another celebrity entertainment channel. Tell, what else will dominate this lady’s mindset aside how to live a fake celebrity life being promoted on television channels?

2. Dislike For Cooking And Home Chores. - These days, many African ladies dislike cooking and home chores just because they have been totally brainwashed by movies showcasing men playing the role of women in a family, and due to excessive exposure to modern media that promotes gender-equality in a destructive manner,  aimed at destroying the unique African family setting that made our previous African marriages everlasting and envious to the western world. Now, with this attitude, how do you expect a African man to desire to marry when he knows he is only 'buying' more headache and trouble than helper for himself?

3. Excessive makeup. - This often turn most decent and serious-minded men off.  Most men see ladies who wear excessive makeup as prostitutes or wayward. A slight makeup is okay; try always to look simple and natural, it will attract better men, decent and serious-minded, except you are still living in your high school life and not thinking towards marriage.

4. Stop Giving Your Number Out To Every Joystick & Harry - No man would want to propose marriage to a lady whose phone is always talking and laughing with unserious calls. You may not be a playgirl, but he would judge you as one, and will likely flee at the slightest chance or disagreement.

5. You Don’t Bring Any Value Into The Life Of The Men You Date - because your best friend married without contributing anything to the man that finally married her, doesn’t mean it will work for you that way. Think, work towards equipping yourself so that you can be of value and also add value to his life to convince him that you are worth committing to. Adding value to his life isn’t by giving him money, or material gifts, nope….good counsels, being his best friend, helping him attain his goals in life, lending him moral, mental and spiritual support, and by not just being a liability that only bring requests and problems to be solved.

6. Your Friends Run Your Life. How do you expect to find a husband when you still allow your clique of friends to be dictating which man you meet, is worthy of your love and which is not? When will you wake up and face the fact that those your best friends even though they cherish you, wouldn’t want you to marry before them or to marry the best man?

7. You Package Yourself Wrongly- in your attempt to look sexy, adorable and maybe appealing to guys, you have derailed from appealing to appalling. In fact you look more whorish than modest; more distractive than attractive, and more disgusting than adorable. Your dressing style determines who gets attracted to you most times. If you dress high school, only high school-thinking guys will be attracted to you, and if you dress excessively sexy and provocative, only randy men will come to you for urgent satisfaction of their immediate s*x urge, so don’t be fooled by media hyping of certain kinds of dressing, they are meant for certain set of ladies you wouldn’t like to be associated with, be careful. Remember, not all clothes that look sexy are good for a seriously searching for a soul mate single lady.

8. You Lack Manner, Character, Wisdom and Good Home Upbringing- definitely, your ‘hot girl’, ‘pretty girl’, ‘sexy girl’ looks will win you so many men; both the good, and the bad, but your inner beauty, your character and manner are the things that will determine whether any of those men would stay or run after accomplishing their evil missions. In order words, do away with nagging, being possessive, challenging with men in negative ways, the mentality of ‘what a man can do a woman can do better’, a lie devil has used to deceive and destroy so many ladies today, please do away with it.

9 Reasons Why Men Cheat

1. Unsatisfactory Sexual Experience

A man will likely cheat on his woman when he is not satisfied with her sexually. This kind of situation becomes more inevitable when the man has previous satisfying sexual experiences.

2. Friends
When a man is in a cycle of friends who all cheat, it will take divine intervention for him not to do so.

3. Fights at Home

When a man fights regularly with his wife and these quarrels are left unsolved, the man becomes unhappy and disturbed. He can either fight back or simply flee. The latter scenario may be the reason why men cheat on their wives. Because when they look for an affair, they search for someone that brings them calmness and understanding, therefore a parallel life and support.

4. Boredom

This is another reason why guys cheat on their girlfriends and wives. Some men may find couple routine a little dull and instead of changing their situation, they find another relationship that will offer them the spark their current relationship lacks. They want to experiment something new and fresh and they are willing to take the risk.

5. Sexual Experimentation

Sex represents an important aspect of a relationship. Some men are easily bored so they are willing to experiment more sexually. They like to have a lot of sexual partners and if the occasion arrives, they will not back off. Perhaps this makes them feel powerful and experts at bed talk!

6. Family History

Some men may have witnessed cheating in their parent’s marriage and this might have transmitted them a message that it is okay to cheat. Our parents are in fact our first teachers because we learn from them each and every day, so seeing one of your parents cheat makes you think that this is the normal thing to do, when in fact it may bring a lot of suffering.

7. Temptation Is Too Big

Some men like to live in chaos and they want to enjoy every temptation that might come along. The adrenaline rush that they get from cheating with another women is definitely a thrill and they love it, therefore they yield to temptation every time it comes along.

8. Insecurity

There are some men that don’t feel good about themselves and they need the validation of women (others than their wives or girlfriends) to still feel desirable to the opposite sex.

9. Compulsory Cheating

This is in fact a real medical condition that should be treated. A compulsive cheater needs medical help and our recommendation would be to leave the relationship before it’s too late.

Single Ladies, Here Are 6 Golden Rules For You

1. Don’t push him away because he has no money today. Hold him close if he is a man of vision, to another woman, he’s Honey and he got brighter days ahead, with a prospective blossoming future.

2. Don’t take off your panties, because he called you beautiful, take them off because he married you.

3. Don’t take him home because he gave you a ride or buy you ice cream and fried rice, take him home because he treated you like a queen and is committed to be the love of your life.

4. Don’t open your legs because he said you will make a good mother. Open them because he’s ready to be a father after your wedding.


5. Don’t go punishing him because another man hurt you! All men are not the same! A man who fears God doesn’t hurt! If he loves you, give him a chance and he may be the best thing that ever happened to you.

6. Don’t stay up all night wondering where to find a good man. Work on your character! Be an asset! Serve God.

53 Years Annivessary Gift, Resident Doctors Go On Nation Wide Strike

The National Association of Resident Doctors, Tuesday, commenced an indefinite strike across Nigeria. The President of the association, Jubril Abdullahi, said his members were forced to take the decision as a result of the federal government’s refusal to meet their demands.

The medical group had two weeks ago issued a two weeks ultimatum and threatened to embark on the indefinite industrial action should the Federal Government fail to pay the accumulated salaries of its members within two weeks. The doctors also complained of the refusal of the government to implement an agreement with the union on the Integrated Payroll Payment System, IPPS. Consequently, it had warned that it would not rescind the decision on the strike.

Some teaching hospitals such as the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi-Araba, owes its resident doctors more than four months salaries. The LUTH chapter of the group had only suspended an industrial action about two weeks ago. Besides the IPPS, the doctors also complained of poor funding of residency training of its members by the FG. This is not the first time the group is embarking on strike this year. On June 26, the doctors had done same and suspended it on the 28th when top government officials intervened. The doctors said nothing has been done by the government to meet their demands since then. “It’s two months away for the year to end, it’s quite unfair. There can’t be good medical specialization without residency training.

The government should live up to her responsibilities” immediate past president of the association, Ismail Lawal told Premium Times  “The Federal Government is playing game with the issue of budgetary allocation for the training of specialists. Though we had some deliberations, but up till now nothing has been done. To make the matter worse, the government refused to issue a White Paper on the agreement reached” Mr. Abdullahi had said two weeks ago.

Tragedy:150 People Feared Dead In River Niger Boat Mishap

About one hundred and fifty persons were feared dead on Friday following a boat mishap in River Niger, close to Malilli village in the Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State Nigeria.

The accident happened at about 2 pm. While 42 bodies were recovered and confirmed dead, over 100 others are reportedly missing. As at 10:30pm, no  there was no survivor. Divers were still at the river looking for more victims. The Public Relation Officer of the Niger State Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Ibrahim Hussaini, told our correspondent via the telephone that the incident occurred as the traders were returning from Malili village to their village, Tunga Illo, which is across the River Niger. He said, “The boat was believed to have carried over 150 passengers, mostly traders when it capsized mid way into its journey, resulting in the drowning of 42 passengers, while 100 others are missing.

Swimmers from Malili village swung into action immediately after they heard about the mishap, retrieving 42 corpses from the river, while efforts are being made to rescue possible survivors along the bank of the river or the corpses of those that  drown. “At the moment, search and rescue is ongoing on the river, I will make the detail of the incident known soon.

Meanwhile, the Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, has commiserated with the families of the victims of the boat mishap. In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo,  the governor said it was disheartening for such a tragedy to befall the state at a time when government was grappling with challenges to better the lot of the people. The statement urged those involved with water transportation to be more careful, especially during raining season when water level was usually high. It said the state’s emergency management agency had since deployed its officials to the scene of the mishap to ascertain the extent of loss incurred with a view to compensating families of the victims. 

The Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Saidu Ndako, also confirmed the boat mishap.  He said, “I received the information late in the night that a boat had capsized and 42 persons have drowned in the incident, while rescue operation is ongoing. “We believe that the boat was overloaded because the boat’s capacity was put at 60 passengers, but over 150 passengers were said to be on board during the incident.

The debris in the swollen river may also have been responsible for the incident.” Last month, nine people drowned in similar circumstance in Taraba while in March, 27 out of 133 persons died after their boat capsized in Calabar. Also, in March, seven persons drowned in a similar accident in Delta State.
