Lagos was its usual
brimming self. Traffic
is the usual crazy
o n e . M o t o r i s t s
forming a cacophony
of noises without
their horns and
guttural shouting
voices can be heard
raining abuses on no
one in particular. The
airports are busy as
usual. The aspiring
regional that is the
Lagos airport is
straining as usual
under the weight of
dealing with many
t r a v e l e r s w i t h
s t r u g g l i n g
infrastructure.
In the midst of this,
a n a s s o c i a t e d
Airlines aircraft took
off. There is nothing
out of place about
this. Many flights
take off and land in
the three terminals in
Lagos every hour, but
within minutes of its
taking off, the plane
had crashed into a
building just outside
of the airport fences.
P a n d e m o n i u m
started; who is there,
who had died, who
had survived? Within
minutes , i t was
confirmed that this
plane was carrying
t h e r e m a i n s o f
l e c t u r e r t u r n e d
politician, former
minister and former
Governor of Ondo
S t a t e , O l u s e g u n
Agagu, and 20 other
people. 14 perished…
and the rest survived
(2 later died). It is not
a funny thought, but
the question that
came to my mind was,
if Agagu was alive in
that p lane as i t
crashed, would he
have died or survived?
Now, we will never
know the answer to
that question, so we
can't in all honesty say
whether the man died
a second time or
survived. But it is not a
fate we will wish for
anyone. Does anyone
remembers that iconic
m u s i c i a n , F e l a
Anikulapo Kuti and
one of his songs in the
a l b u m t i t l e d
“Confusion breaks
bone! A part of it goes
like this:
Confusion break bone o, yeepa! (x2)Dead body getti accident, yeepa! (x2)Double wahala for dead body and the owner of dead body. (x2)Deadi bodi e e e!
In this case, it was
c lea r ly a doub le
tragedy for that dead
body, and the owners
of that dead body…
Imagine, losing 14
people, family and
close family on the day
of one's burial and
pe rhaps dy ing a
second time!! Imagine
the agony of the family
members! Imagine
being thrown into
fresh mourning!
For most people who
d o n ' t s p e a k o r
understand Yoruba,
Agagu's middle name
is Kokumo. This means
that this one will not
die again! Very apt
name is it, or is it not?
We can never tell now
whether Agagu died
again on that day of
the plane crash or
whether he survived.
All we know now for
sure is that he will
never die again. He
was finally laid to rest
that same weekend.

something like an
events organization
se rv i ce fo r dead
people. “With MIC, you
will be happy to be
dead” is the slogan I
would have given
them if they asked me.
Chief Okunsanya was
a man who took his
job seriously and as
much as possible was
very involved with the
business, and the
events they organize.
He was very personal,
and friendly, and you
would never guess
from meeting him that
this person is well to do.
I guess his views on life
had been shaped by
the very business he
does, seeing many
people die and are
buried, rich and poor,
w e l l k n o w n a n d
incognito. When you
see so much death, you
tend to see life for what
it is, very transient.
H e w a s a l w a y s
personally involved
with the clients and in
one such event, he met
his untimely death. In
the Niger delta, we also
do big burials, but I am
not sure we have any
undertaken firms like
MIC, or even close to it. I
believe that someone
should step into that
void for Port Harcourt
and the environs. It
may be cultural, but in

information says
that before that ill Ufated journey that
morning of Oct 3, 2013,
the Associated Airline's
Embraer 120RT flight
that crashed minutes
after it took off had not
flown anywhere since
August 23 2013. That is
more than 6 weeks! That
in itself should have set
tongues wagging! Why
was it not flying? Why
was it parked? Is it that
they were waiting for
business or they were
not even in business?
The late Deji Falae, son of
politician and former
finance Minister, Chief
First amongst Equals…
Olu Falae, who was
also at the time of his
d e a t h , t h e
commissioner for
Tourism in Ondo
State was said to
have complained
about the sorry state
of the plane upon
seeing it. He was
persuaded to ignore
the signs and just
hop in for a quick
ride (about 25mins)
to Akure. Little did he
k n o w t h a t h i s
intuition was so right
that morning and
that the assumed
quick ride will end
even quicker!
Nobody knows who

Associated Airline to
fly the corpse of the
late governor Agagu
to Akure. Some says
MIC, the undertakers

arrangement; others
say it was the Ondo
State Government.
Perhaps the truth will
come up sometime,
but what does it
matter if the truth
comes out. 20 people
were in that airline.
14 had their lives
terminated. I hear 2
more has since died.
T h e s u r v i v o r s
amongst them may
never live life to the

What a price to pay.
But at least the coffin

an open backed car in
the name of going to
bury a beloved is a bit
dated. We can do better
at celebrating our dead
than we currently do. We
don't have to become a
nuisance. We can give
the dead a befitting
burial by doing it nice.
Once again, we mourn
this great man of the
Undertaking business.
The void will be hard to
fill.

I HAVE DATED NOT LESS THAN 8 GUYS My relationship has
never lasted long, once
it's getting to two or
three weeks, any guy
I'm dating will either
break up with me or
stop calling me on
phone, and I don't
seem to understand
what usually causes
that.
I have checked myself,
but cou ldn ' t f ind
anything wrong with
me . I am a very
beautiful lady every
guy would ever want.
So many times I've
given my heart to guys,
but they have always
refused to handle it
with care, they are
a l w a y s f u n d o f
breaking my heart, and
this make me keep
changing guys often.
I have dated not less
than 8 guys and they all
acted the same way,
please I need some advice
on how to make my
relationship work.
Answer:
Dear lady, I understand
how you feel, for it's so
pathetic to go through
emotional pains, most
especially when it comes
to a relationship matter.
Notwithstanding, I think
there are more to it, and I
will like you to look at it
w i t h a d i f f e r e n t
perspective. From the
information you gave, you
said any guy you date,
either breaks up with you
or stop calling you on
phone, hmm…well I don't
know what you meant by
the word 'dating', but all
the dating you had, were
they all well-defined? I
hope you know there is a
big difference between a
mere dating and being in
a serious relationship.
And if you can have a non-
deceptive definition of your
relationship with these
guys, then we can think of
what to advice you on.
What exactly do you want,
i s i t d a t i n g o r a
relationship? If it's dating,
then I'm sorry to tell you
that this will keep on
repeating itself; people
choose to date for a
particular period of time
they want, once they are
through, they back off. I
think you need to be sure of
what you want, either mere
d a t i n g o r a t r u e
relationship, this will help
to know where to start.
sometimes causes irrevocable
damage to the relationship
that hastens its end. There are
many things that can occur in
the wake of an infidelity. If you
are married, an infidelity
could lead to divorce. If you
a r e i n a c o m m i t t e d
relationship, it could lead to a
break up.
So what happens after
infidelity occurs in your
r e l a t i o n s h i p ?
There are distinct stages a
relationship goes through in
the wake of an infidelity.
1. Roller Coaster Stage: This is
the stage where strong
emotions arise - emotions
such as anger and self-blame
followed by a period of
i n t r o s p e c t i o n a n d
a p p r e c i a t i o n o f t h e
relationship. Just like it says,
your emotions go for a roller
coaster ride, up and down,
round and round and it's a bit
hard to figure out exactly
w h e r e y o u a r e .
2. Moratorium Stage: This
stage is a less emotional stage,
at least for the person who
was cheated upon. In this
stage, the person affected tries
to make sense of the betrayal.
They may ask for more detail
about the affair or retreat into
themselves or quietly seek
help from others regarding the
i s s u e .
3. Trust Building Stage: This
stage takes place when the
couple has decided to stay
together. During this stage, the
couple really tries to make
their marriage work. They
decide that a continued
commitment to the i r
relationship is important
and with time, eventually
forgiveness and trust can
b e a c h i e v e d .
After an infidelity occurs,
you may still find yourself
o f t en doub t ing you r
partner. Don't lose heart,
there is hope. Here are some
signs that may indicate if a
person is still worthy of your
l o v e .
● Expresses s incere
remorse and regret for
c h e a t i n g o n y o u
● Heartfelt apologies feel
true when you hear them
● Accepts total blame for
h i s o r h e r b e t r ay a l
● Cuts off all contact with
t h e t h i r d p a r t y
● Shows a renewed
appreciation, admiration,
respect and devotion to
o n l y y o u
● Displays a willingness
and openness to talk about
w h a t h a p p e n e d
● Is willing and eager to go
into marriage counselling
w i t h y o u
If both of you are willing to
participate in a deep, open,
and honest conversation
regarding your relationship
and how you would like it to
After Infidelity: Make up or
Break up
An infidelity is a betrayal, a
loss of trust. It is lying or
disloyalty to one's partner or
lover. Infidelity may be sexual
or emotional in nature and
typically involves a third
person. Infidelity does not
necessarily involve physical
separation, but can be
characterized by emotional
d e t a c h m e n t a s w e l l .
Emotional detachment can
happen when you lose your
partner's trust or if you lie to
your partner or tell them half-
truths. Betraying your partner
may inflict a deep pain that is
d i f f icu l t to repair and
few weeks ago,
I watched a TV
p r o g r a m m e Awhere a panel of
d i s c u s s a n t s h a d
gathered to talk about
the problem with
Nigeria at 53.
One of the discussants
simply called the
problem with Nigeria
N a r c o t i z i n g
d ys fu n c t i o n . N o t
b e i n g o f t h e
paraplegic crinkum
crankum and of the
plutomobokakistocra
cy school of grammar,
I quickly checked out
t h e p h r a s e t o
ascertain if its indeed
the problem with my
dear country. This is
w h a t I f o u n d :
N a r c o t i z i n g
Dysfunction refers to
a social consequence
of mass media. The
theory claims that as
news about an issue
inundates people,
t h e y b e c o m e
a p a t h e t i c t o i t ,
substituting action
on that issue for
knowing about it. In
the case of our nation,
it is our experiences
that have caused us
to become numb to
t h e h a p p e n i n g s
around us. It brings to
my mind the subject
of spiritual pollutants
that we are learning
in my church. It is so
sad that today, being
smart and sharp is
used to describe
someone who is
obviously defrauding
a fellow man. Some
people will say “Na
Naija be this na!!! Na
you dey dia dey
mumu yourself!” It is
now as if it is a crime
to trust your fellow
human being.
I re m e m b e r t h e
Nigeria of yesterday
when parents used to
make their children
return books and
pens found in their bags
that didn't belong to
them. But today, while
some parents don't even
have no time to check
their kids' bags, others
parents think their own
kids are smart. Shame!
Recently, I heard the
story of a prominent
Nigerian whose dad
travelled from their
No Be Naija We Dey?
village to Lagos to ask
the company how much
they pay his son for him
to have given him such a
huge amount of money.
But today parents will
ask: “Are you not in the
same company as
Ralph? He just bought
his dad a Pathfinder
and has put up a two –
storey building in the
village. Whatever he is
doing, do it or are you
not a man? Welcome to
my Nigeria!
There was a time when
people would keep
oranges for sale in front
of their houses with no
one manning them and p a s s e r s b y w o u l d
simply take the portion
they want to buy and
drop the equivalent
cash. Try it today, and
your oranges, tray and
stool will simply grow
wings and fly.
Are we like this today
because of our culture?
I don't think so. But
somehow, over the
years we've somehow
began to associate
committing a crime as
being smart and doing
good as foolishness. We
used to have a culture
where elders spoke the
truth at all times. But
today, elders pervert
justice in favour of the
rich and powerful. Only
the rich are respected.
No matter how wise
your counsel, is you are
nothing without money.
So why wouldn't people
d e v e l o p a p a t h y
towards things that are
going wrong today?
Use your position in
office to defraud the
country and you'll be
given a chieftaincy title
in your village or made
a sorry Knight in the
church. No one cares
about the source of
anyone's income as
l o n g a s y o u a r e
'performing or showing
working'.
O f fenders are not
punished but praised
a n d g i v e n m o r e
o p p o r t u n i t i e s t o
continue in their ways.
Tell me, why won't
anyone be numbed as
not to care anymore or
e v e n j o i n t h e
bandwagon? After all,
they say that if you can't
beat them join them.
The good book tells us
that r ighteousness
exalts a nation but sin is
a reproach to every
people. Until Nigeria
returns to the ancient
paths of truth, justice
and equity, it can only
get worse. This country
is slowly but surely
going over the edge. The
time to act is now.
Peace and goodwill to
us all.

progress, there is a good
chance you will be able to
work through your issues.
If, on the other hand, your
partner is not open to
discussing these things with
you and not demonstrating
a n y o f t h e p o s s i b l e
reconcilement signs listed
above, it may be time to cut
your losses and get out.
Additional signs that it might
be time to end the relationship
are: your partner seems to be
more agitated than usual and
seems to emotionally and
physically withdraw from you.
They may go out alone more
often and may be making
clandestine phone calls or
working late hours. You might
even receive anonymous
phone calls at the house. If
several of these things are
occurring, then most probably
your partner is cheating on
you. If you can find concrete
evidence of this infidelity, then
it's probably a good idea to
break up. A relationship that is
based on lies, lacks trust and
lack of commitment is doomed
t o f a i l .
After an infidelity occurs, be
aware of any signs that may
indicate your par tner ' s
willingness to stay and work it
out or clear intention to follow
along the path of continued
betrayal. Just be careful and
pay attention. Make the best
decision for you.

assumes that i t 's
something that is
bigger than Nigeria,
and w i l l happen
d e s p i t e t h e
Government and its
decis ions wi l l be
b i n d i n g o n t h e
g o v e r n m e n t a n d
everyone. Sovereignty
means that you can't
touch this decision;
you have to abide by it.
You can't influence or
change it. Whatever
we decide is final.
While this is fine in
theory, the practicality
is suspect to me. Who
are the we in the
s o v e r e i g n
arrangement? Who
calls the shorts? Who
d e c i d e w h i c h
decisions are to be
carried? Who is the
u m p i r e ? W h o
mediates? We all have
our own individual,
sectional or ethnic
positions, so who can
we trust? In addition to
that, we also have our
n a t i o n a l i s t i c o r
federated tendencies,
and I am yet to see a
Nigerian who does not
have a position of
preference in all of
these permutations.
So who will help us run
a conference that is so
sovereign as we want.
My submission is that
this is an impossible
r e q u e s t . S u c h a
conference cannot be
sovereign. So let's
move on to the next
reality. A national
d i a l o g u e i s n ow
offered, and it is
welcome by most
people as the way to
go. What to talk about?
We have heard people
say everything. That's
not a def in i t ion ,
because that can be
going on for the next
decade. When do we
stop. How do we know
we have come to
agreement. In this kind
o f c o n f e r e n c e ,
democracy is usually
practiced, but wont the
same people who are
c o m p l a i n i n g o f
marginalization now
still be complaining of
marginalization when
their vies are not
carried? Would we not
be hearing about how
votes were rigged in the
conference chambers?
Even if we appoint
u m p i re s t h at a re
untainted, are we going
to be civil enough to
accept their umpirage?
A re we g o i n g t o
compromise our stand
when it is obvious that
the majority does not
want it.
Next question? How are
we going to appoint or
elect those who will
represent us. Will the
government appoint
them, or will each
e t h n i c g r o u p i n g
appoint their own? No,
that wont work. We are
also divided within
these ethnic lines, so
perhaps we should do
along tribal lines. But I
also know that this will
also be tough. How will
every Nigerian be sure
that the people that
have been invited from
every part of Nigeria
h a v e t h e s a m e
intention in their mind
to work for the good of
t h e p e o p l e t h e y
represent?
How are we sure that
they will say what we
want them to say? Will
they be selected (or
a p p o i n t e d ) b y
Government or elected
by us? Will the teacher
be able to participate?
W h a t a b o u t t h e
barber? Which level of
intellect would we
need, and can this
tower of Babel stand?
Another quest ion?
W h a t w o u l d o u r
currently elected law
makers be doing? Will
they be waiting to
rubber stamp what the
conference agrees
w h e n t h e y a r e
empowered by the law
of the land to make and
changes laws on our
behalf?
How does the National
Conference conform to
our Constitution? If we
a r e p r a c t i c i n g
democracy, we should
practice it well. Laws
can only be made by
the Legislatures, not by
a body constituted by
the Executive.
If there are contentions,
w h i c h p a r ty w i l l
interpret the law for us?
I don't know the extent
o f the Jud ic ia ry ' s
involvement in this
con fe rence . When
points of the law
require interpretation,
would we call on the
Supreme Court to be
the arbiter! Would they
b e a c t i n g i n
accordance with the
laws of the land?
Assuming that by some
stokes of miracle, we
manage to come up
with a list of things that
needs to be changed,
how are we going to
implement it? If any of
these changes will
mean that there will be
a marked departure
from the pol i t ical
structure we have now,
would the people that
are currently benefiting
from it not fight it to the
last drop of their blood?
Or do we think we can
have a Frederick De
Klerk that will oversee
his own removal from
power? I don't think
Nigerian's are that
altruistic.
The above are some of
the challenges on our
way as we approach
this national confab. Of
course there will be
serious jostling by a
lot of people to be part
of it. It's always a
j a m b o re e . T h e s e
people will be lodged
f o r m i n i m u m
3months in one of the
most expensive hotels
in the land, fed like
kings, treated like
royalties, given mouth
watering allowances
that they have never
seen before in their
lives perhaps. Thus
there will be serious
lobbying going on.
There will also be
people who have
interests in either
maintaining status
quo or changing it
trying to get as many
of their people as
possible into the
confab and into the
key decision making
c h a i r s i n t h e
committees. That way,
they can protect their
interests.
At the end of the day,
Still on the National Conference “Is it sovereign or Not?”

speech President
Jonathan gave on the
eve of this year's
independence, but
from reports, he
a n n o u n c e d a
national conference.
This is a pull out from
the exact transcript
where he mentioned
this:
“In demonstration of
my avowed belief in
the positive power of
dialogue in charting
the way forward, I
have decided to set
up an Adv i so ry
Committee whose
m a n d a t e i s t o
e s t a b l i s h t h e
modalit ies for a
National Dialogue or
Con fe rence . The
Committee will also
design a framework
and come up with
recommendations as
to the form, structure
and mechanism of
the process.”
If I recall, people are
a s k i n g f o r a
sovereign national
conference, and not
j u s t a n at i o n a l
conference. So even
t h o u g h t h i s
publication salutes
the president for
having the courage
t o c o n v e n e a
conference, it is not
quite the sovereign
national conference
that Nigerians are
clamoring for.
But perhaps, what
we should have is a
national conference
or dialogue, and not
a sovereign one!
W h a t i s t h e
difference between
these two? In my
opinion, a sovereign

ore than
e v e r
before it is Mbecoming clear that
quality education is
expensive. To get
va lue fo r the i r
money, pa rents
need to be more
involved in their
children's education
beyond just paying
the school fees. A
c h i l d e xc e l l e n t
a c a d e m i c
performance can no
longer be left as the
sole responsibility of
the school. How can
parents help their
c h i l d r e n e x c e l
academically? We
have the following
ideas to share with
you.
1. Get involved: Get
to know what is
happening in your
child’s school. What
curriculum is the
school using? What
is their method of
teaching? What is
t h e r e c o r d o f
a c a d e m i c
pe r fo rmance o f
students? Can your
child match his
counterparts from
other schools?
2. Be interested: Show interest in
how your child is
p r o g r e s s i n g i n
school. Find out the
difficulty he or she is
f a c i n g . B e
concerned to bring
about the desired
p r o g r e s s /
improvement in
your child academic
performance.
3. Relate well with your child's school: Know your child's
class teacher. Have a
cordial relationship
w i t h t h e s c h o o l
authority. Attend the
school functions such
as PTA meet ings ,
foundation laying
ceremonies, end of
session activities, etc.
Let your impact be felt
in the school with your
wise suggest ions ,
cont r ibu t ion and
constructive criticism.
4. Encourage the love for reading in your child: Endearvour to
b u y t h e
recommended school
books for your child.
Buy books outside the
recommended books
that can help your
children. Buy story
b o o k s , m a p s ,
dictionaries, activity
books, etc. See to it
that your child has a
well decorated and
organised reading
corner and time at
home, and make it fun.
5. Support your child: G i v e m o r a l a n d
emotional support to
y o u r c h i l d . B e
supportive in their
homework and during
preparation for an
exam. In preparing for
exams, reduce house
chores, place the child
on study diet and
revise with him or her.
D o n ' t d o t h e i r
homework for them
but guide them on
how to do it. Inspect
what has been done
and see that it is
submitted at the right
time. Don't keep your
c h i l d away f ro m
school for every and
any reason.
6. Regulate your chi ld 's Te levis ion consumption: Limit
t h e t e l e v i s i o n
consumption of your
child. This is one of the
time wasters your
child has to contend
with. Help him or her
to win this battle. Be
interested in what
your child watches on
television and how
much time he or she
spends with it.
7. Motivate your child to excel academically: Expose your child to
stories of great men
and women who
achieved great things
i n l i f e t h r o u g h
education. Motivate
your ch i ldren by
reading to them and
with them. Encourage
your child to set
academic goals and
attach a reward to it.
8 . R e g u l a r l y a n d consistently pray for your child's academic success: Teach your
child to pray for
himself or herself. Pray
for wisdom, for good
health, for retentive
memory. Pray for a
d i l i g e n t a n d a n
excellent spirit. Pray
for God's guidance in
the choice of your
child's career.
9. Pay your child's school fees on time: This helps your child's
psychology of learning.
It helps your child to
participate confidently
in school activities.
10. Be there for your child during this stage of his or her life: One of
the best gift you can
give your child that will
boos t h i s o r he r
academic performance
is the gift of your time.
Your presence is more
needed now at this
formation stage of his
or her life. After they are
grown, your impact will
not be all that effective.
We wish you and your
child the best in this
excellent academic
pursuit.

ou need to eat
r i g h t , y o u r Ycholesterol level
is high, and you need to
replace unhealthy oils
with healthy ones..... A
lot of people have
received similar reports
and advices from their
doctors. Cholesterol is a
f a t t y s u b s t a n c e
produced by the liver
and used to build cell
walls and to make
hormones. We all have
an amount of this
special type of fat in our
blood and it is essential
f o r m a n y b o d i l y
functions but many
people have too much of
it which is dangerous
and is responsible for
many heart ailments.
Cholesterol levels are
controlled by our genes
and diet. In the West, more
p e o p l e h a v e h i g h
c h o l e s t e r o l t h a n i n
countries with low-fat diet
such as Japan and China.
Eating foods high in
saturated fat such as butter,
cream, processed meat such
as sausages and fast food
makes our cholesterol go
up.Do you want to reduce your
risk of developing a heart
disease? If yes, then the
solution is by lowering your
cholesterol. Can diet alone
b e u s e d t o l o w e r
cholesterol? The answer is
YES, you can reduce your
c h o l e s t e r o l l e v e l s
significantly by making
changes in your diet. So
what foods aid in lowering
cholesterol? There are quite
a variety of foods that do so.
Most nuts including pecans,
groundnuts, walnuts and
almonds help lower
cholesterol. It is unclear
h o w n u t s l o w e r
cholesterol but it might be
because they contain
p l a n t s t e r o l s a n d
monounsaturated fats that
protect blood vessels from
damage. They are also
high in fibre and vitamin
E.Healthy oils like olive oil
and rapeseed oil neither
which contain mainly
monounsaturated fats
neither increase nor
decrease cholesterol
levels, however, they help
make the artery walls
stronger and are also
cleared easily by the body.
Most fatty foods are high in
cholesterol, so replacing
them by f rui ts and
vegetables which are high
in fibre is another way of
reducing cholesterol. High
cholesterol is caused by
eating too much saturated
fat. Red meat, cheese,
butter, full fat milk and
cream all contain high
amounts of saturated fat.
That is why doctors advice
people to cut down their
red meat portions and eat
more of fish and lean meat
or organ meat (liver,
kidney, heart etc). Eggs are
high in cholesterol and
s h o u l d b e e a t e n
moderately. An egg a day
isn't bad but eating a plate
o f f ou r f r i e d e g g s
alongside a meal does one
no good. Many people
think that chocolate and
coffee push up your
cholesterol levels. This is
not true. Both can be
enjoyed but obviously not
in excessive amounts. Summarily, foods like
nuts, fibre, soya, healthy
oils, oats etc are heart
f r iendly and aid in
m a i n t a i n i n g g o o d
cholesterol levels. So if
you are one of those
people who indulge in lots
of junk food, large plates of
fried eggs, large pieces of
red meat etc, do your heart
some good by eating right
and if you happen to drink
lots of beer, you can
substi tute that with
moderate amounts of
wine.

Sudoku helps your logical thinking!
Sudoku is a very popular number puzzle game.
The rulers are simple and the games
can range from very easy to very hard.
The Sudoku puzzle is a 9x9 grid that
starts with some numbers filled in.
The object is to fill the entire
grid such that the numbers 1 through 9
appear uniquely in each row, column,
and 3x3 block. It sounds
complicated until you give it a
try but the rules are simple to understand
once you have played one Sudoku puzzle.

we may well be
having a confab of
proxies. People who
represent their lords
and masters and not
t h e 16 0 m i l l i o n
people of Nigeria who
are desperate for a
change. That will
really be sad! Really
said!
D o w e n e e d a
national confab? If
there is a chance that
we will be able to put
honest, forthright,
proven Nigerians in
there who will only
speak on the side of
development and the
well being of the
peoples of Nigeria
without any ethnic,
national or sectoral
bias, then we should
have a nat iona l
dialogue. But I don't
think that Nigerians
will agree on this
'almost non-existent'
group of people. It is
like forming a jury in
an American court,
no matter how good
you are, the opposing
side does not want
you!
In the absence of this,
I don't think we
should waste our
time, and tones of
money in this exercise. I
don't think we should
raise people's hopes
that we will achieve a
result when we already
know that this will go
the way of other such
arrangements.
If you ask any Nigerian
what our problem is, I
don't think it wil l
include any of the issues
of our continued unity
o r p o l i t i c a l
arrangement. Everyone
knows that the problem
of Nigeria is corruption.
C o r r u p t i o n i s n o t
common to Nigeria or to
Nigerians. It is woven
into the fabr ic of
mankind. It is prevalent
h e r e b e c a u s e w e
c o n d o n e i t , eve n
c e l e b r a t e i t . O u r
institutions have failed.
There is no enforcement
of our laws. There is no
accountability at any
level. If we are able to
deal with corruption, we
would have solved all of
our problems. Our
problem is not NEPA, or
ASUU, or Boko Haram, or
Niger Delta Militants! It
is Corruption and the
kid gloves with which
we treat it. God forbid
that we have a situation
like the early years of
Jerry Rawlings in Ghana,
but i f we had an
enforcer, and we had
laws that are current
and realistic, and we
h a d i n s t i t u t i o n s
strengthened to make
this nation governable,
then we will see that we
will begin to progress.
Finally, we are a nation
that talks too much. We
talk too much but we do
nothing afterwards to
change our lives. I don't
think talking is the next
thing. I think we simply
need a government that
does not care whose ox
is gored. We need a
government that will
t a k e c o r r u p t i o n
seriously, make good
governance a cardinal
principle, and treat
c o m m i t m e n t
s u s t a i n a b l e
d e v e l o p m e n t a s
sacrosanct as the pope's
cap! In addition to that,
we need a people who
see our diversity as
strength, who will see
o u r s i z e a s a n
advantage, who will
look at the nation and
see its potential, who
wil l stand and be
counted as, first and
foremost, a NIGERIAN.
Thereafter, we can talk!

hen you
h e a r
people say Wthey want to tone it
up, it may just evoke
a feeling that they
want to lighten up
their complexion a
little. This may be
correct in certain
cases, but these
d ays , t h e m o re
acceptable life style
use of the word tone
is for the muscles,
not the skin colour.
Toning from a fitness
perspective is when
the amount of fat
you have covering
your muscles is
small enough to allow
the muscles to be
seen. It means more
muscles, less fat. The
process of toning
actually burns up
your fat so you have
more muscle instead.
The more muscle you
have and the less fat
you have covering it
the more toned you
are. Whenever anyone
says they want to tone
up, they are actually
saying they want to be
able to see their
muscle more than
before.
Let me sound a note of
c a u t i o n h e re ! A
balance needs to be
achieved between
muscle toning and
muscle building. A lot
of us simply want to
tone up, and not
become Mr or Ms
Universe. Therefore to
a c h i e v e m u s c l e
toning, you must be
careful that your
exercise regime is not
making you build
muscle instead.
Below are 7 important
things to do if you
desire to achieve a
toned body:
·Warm up: Warming
up is very important
for blood circulation
and this also helps to
get your body ready
f o r y o u r t o n i n g
exercise. You should
never simply jump
into the exercise
r o u t i n e w i t h o u t
warming up. Simple
warm up routines can
include running on
the spot, jumping (or
skipping) for a few
minutes.
·Swing: You can do
this holding a heavy
object like a dumbbell
or medicine bal l
between your legs in a
deep squat position,
then you stick out
your butt and avoid
leaning backward.
Then stand as fast as
you can and use the
force to swing the
weight overhead. Do
this 10-20 times.
·Pull up (jumping pull-
up): Jumping pull is a
very simple exercise. It
involves standing
with both legs apart
underneath a pull up
bar and jumping. You
will need to use the
momentum of your
jump to pull yourself
up as high as possible,
and then you will
lower yourself as
slowly as possible
back on to the floor.
The repeated jumping
and lowering helps
you burn up calories
and it also stimulate
your muscle cells.
Repeat this 10-20
times too.
·Lunge: If you desire to
achieve a lower body
toning you could try
the walking lunge
technique. Using this
technique, you step
forward with one leg,
dropping into a lunge
position, then take
one big step forward
and lunge with your
legs at the back. You
can add a little weight
by holding upright
2 k g e a c h o f
dumbbells while you
are lunging.
·Lose fats that are
covering the muscle: We all know what to
do when we are
determined to lose
our body fats, by
e x e r c i s i n g , a n d
cutting down on our
fatty food intake.
Cutting down the fat
intake actually helps
prevent the fat from
going back there.
·Don't be tempted to
build some more muscles: You can tone
up your muscles by
lifting lighter weight
both in upper part of
the body and lower
part of the body.
However, Do not do
higher repetition of
weight lifting, as it will
not make you tone
b u t b u i l d y o u r
muscle.
F l o o r e xe r c i s e s : Lifting weights help,
but they are not
enough. Do a lot of
floor exercises. Get
your mat and keep
moving.
Finally, remember
that no matter how
good your toning
workout is, you will
really need to follow
your diet strictly. You
will not move fat off
your body by adding
more calories and
eating the wrong
meals, so be sure you
p a i r t h e t o n i n g
w o r ko u t w i t h a
healthy diet fruit and
vegetables and be
steady.
Keep keeping fit.
