Bayelsa State To Immortalize General Sani Abacha

To mark the 16th anniversary of the creation of Bayelsa State, the state government has announced its decision to immortalise late General Sani Abacha.

It has concluded plans to lay the foundation stone for a 150 duplex housing estate which would be named after late General Abacha whose government created Bayelsa State as Head of State on the 1st of October, 1996. Governor Seriake Dickson announced the decision yesterday in his broadcast to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the creation of the State and the 52nd independence of the country.

According to Governor Dickson, government in partnership with the Ijaw National Congress (INC), has christened the main auditorium of the INC secretariat after General Abacha as well as invite the family of the late General to be part of the celebration and also plant a memorial tree in his honour.

Nigeria @52 -Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon

"As we celebrate our flag and shambolic autarky at 52, we must realize that Nigeria is still more of a geographic contrivance as has been rightly posited by Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Not with our centrifugal excrescences preponderating over our centripetal proclivities. It’s a matter for mental pabulum that we are daily drifting into our ethnic cocoons.

We still remain one country with disparate ethnic agendas and I can say it for the umpteenth time again that we must sit down in a sovereign national colloquy to discuss the basis for our nationhood. Anything short of this is just vacuous scahiamachy.”

Quote of the Day: Toolz

“Jazzy and Banky are good friends of mine. My relationship status is plain currently, I’m not married. Marriage is absolutely in the cards for me. Right now I’m focusing on finding the right person, it is very important that I find someone who respects the sanctity of marriage like I do.”

How Do I Pay Back My Debts And Continue My Business

Ladun thanks for always being dere.but I really need you to post this as I'm on the verge of running mad thanks to antidepressants.

I know so many people will know Me.I've even made friends with them here but I've been holding this in for too long.I'm a 24 year old lady.I graduated four yrs ago with a 2.2 and since then life has been hell for Me..I have worked in 8 different places doin odd jobs lyk a sales girl where I was being paid from 8k to 10k monthly just to be able to meet my needs and for feeding my mum which has been really helpful. Please click to continue.


I have searched d nooks and crannies of Nigeria for jobs to the extent that my certificate is in shreds(literally).So I gav up n started sellin recharge cards with the little moni I had saved then all of a sudden a close family of mine gave Me a very large shop for free in a busy area.Then I went into serious thinking about what to sell that will make me gain a lot.

I did a little feasibility study and asked those around there what they needed.Everybody told Me to open a viewing centre(for soccer) combined with a game centre, that d shop is spacious and will accommodate people. So on the 22nd of august I opened the place with the help of people who helped me to raise some cash after I promised them I was going to return it after a month but since I started it has been from one problem to the other.Like the games consoles getting spoilt and then using all my profits for repair.The power supply is bad so I have to buy fuel everyday so at the end of the day I'm left with nothin but my t.fare for that day.Even people don't really come to watch soccer like i tot dey would. A star match was shown yesterday and all I could do was cry bcos I was rily surprised at the turn out.

Only 10 pple came which I had to buy fuel and it became a loss for Me. My problem is dat I'm deep in debts to the tune of 450k. I do not even have one kobo on Me ryt now and its a month already and this pple I'm owing are really harrassin me.I have cried a lot this morning cos one called me today and said bad words to me. I wished I was never born.I've prayed and fasted severally.How do I pay back their money?I'm in shame.I've tried to look for jobs to do but I couldn't find. I got a sales girl job again but its 10k monthly and it means ill hav to work for 4yrs to get back all d moni I owe.I have worked hard all my life and I don't think I deserve this and I'm still ready to work twice as hard if the pay would b good. But what could be going on in my life. Can it be a very big spiritual problem? I really need help.
