The remaining ‘Rs’   that will sustain both of you. Romance Romance is one of the greatest facilitators of a crisis free marriage; but this is where many Charismatics run into problems. When a home lacks romance, it starts suffering disintegration, as it is one of the vital reasons for setting up the home. Many marriage teachers may not agree with this, but this Bible, and I absolutely agree with the Bible which says ''Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 1 Corinthians 7:1- 2'' ‘’To avoid fornication’’ is one of the reasons for marriage, and romance is God’s tool for preserving marriage. ‘’But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn’’ (Verse 9). Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own h

I once heard about a husband and wife who were so upset after a big argument that they refused to speak to each other. That night, not wanting to be the first to break the awkward silence, the man left a note on his wife’s side of the bed that read, “wake me up at 6 o’clock in the morning.” The next morning, by the time the husband woke up, it was already 8 o’clock. Furious, he roared, “Where is she?” and was about to chew out his wife when he found a note on his side of the bed: “It’s six o’clock; wake up.”

The social media plays a pivotal role in the reportage of counterterrorism activities around the world. But this is not to say that the onus of nipping insurgency in the bud solely rests on its shoulders. Nigerian terrorist group, Boko-haram has gained increased media attention over the past few years. However, the efforts of our military troops in the north-east has been commendable and worthy of praise. The relationship between terrorism and social media has long been noted.

Social media companies go to great lengths to make their tools intuitive and user friendly. That’s wonderful for people just learning the ropes, but it can also give you the impression that managing professional social media accounts is a walk in the park. Anyone in the trenches can tell you it isn’t.

A little over 25 years ago, my mentor who was a decade older than me, philosophized that with every passing decade, things would get easier for women in the future within the business marketplace. The challenges I faced climbing the proverbial corporate ladder were nothing compared to the obstacles she had faced. Although I remember thinking that regardless of the "degree of hardship" that women over the years faced, hardship is st ill hardship. Less pain, still implies pain. Fast forward to 2015, getting ahead in the corporate environment is still challenging for women (albeit maybe less so than 25 years ago). However, we now see more and more women as entrepreneurs, mompreneurs and at the helm of small businesses that they had a hand in starting or growing.

So you’ve decided to go into business for yourself as a freelance social media marketer. There are some things you need to know. Beginning with: it ain’t gonna be easy. It is a tough gig to get, clients rarely appreciate the time it takes to sort out a solid social strategy for them, and the competition is fierce. That said, there are things to keep in mind that will increase your chances for success. Personality characteristics for success All successful freelancers share certain characteristics, not everyone is cut out for this life. Among them: Flexibility: This is not a 9-5 job; you will be working evenings and weekends, often without much notice. Clients are apt to change their requirements mid-stream. You must be able to roll with it and make adjustments, without getting rattled. Confidence: You need to offer solid advice to clients in such a way that it is clear that you know what you are doing. You were not hired to offer vague generalities. They pay you to be the guide wh

Gentlemen of the Press, PREAMBLE: I am humbled to have your audience today in respect of the widely publicized tales from some fifth columnist, who are threatened by our activities in providing an alternative government and a credible voice in opposition to the present situation we have found ourselves in Ekiti. My attention was drawn to the above story online, via my twitter handle that some media homes publicized that I, Rt. Hon. Richard Olufemi Bamisile (BAFEM) is set to decamp to PDP, as a result of a meeting held in Pathfinder having in attendance four (4) Paramount Traditional Kings of Ekiti State. Before I forget, let me expressly say that the four kings (as published) (all from my Local Government) are those whom I respect so much with highest regards. Permit me to give a little brief of myself before I do justice to the issue at hand, while I also appreciate the fact that this medium shall serve me an opportunity to expunge the fears of the unsuspecting public who have bee

The stage is set for Nigeria’s first ever radio station exclusively for women folk and the family to hit the air­waves as the National Broad­casting Commission (NBC) recently issued licence to St. Ives Communications. Christened WFM 91.7, it’s the brainchild of Dr. Wale, Chief Medical Director, St. Ives Specialist Hospital, Lagos, and veteran broadcast journalist, Toun Okewale Sonaiya, a Director of St. Ives Communications. WFM 91.7 will formally com­mence operations in preparation for its test transmission after it wraps up its selection process for OAPs. According to Sonaiya: “Though we are licensed for women, WFM 91.7 will also cater for the men and the family by engaging on issues of local, national and inter­national importance for all. It will operate 24 hours of talk and less music. The station will address everyday issues for women and their families. It will be a reliable, leading and trusted source for all related news, information and matters of interests for women and th

I was enjoying the dialogue among Femi Okurohunmu, Dino Melaye and another whose name I can't remember now on Channels Television; Politics Today, until our Senator; Dino Melaye dropped the ball by referring to President Buhari as "Our Holy President" to the jiggle of Seun Okinbaloye who could not but noticed the appalling eulogies from our loquacious Melaye. I get confused and saddened whenever I hear statements like this, especially when they are coming from highly placed personalities in a venerated Party like the APC. And the reason for this, often time, is not far fetched, when you are legendary for playing to the gallery as a self acclaimed speaker, you would say gibberish. APC as a Party that rode to power with a stern promise to champion a course of CHANGE from the putrefaction of yesterday can't  afford to be caught, exhibiting symptoms of oral diarrhea like this in her desperate bid to project PMB's probity, especially on National Television ! Again, t

Nigerian graduates are trained to be job seekers in their various academic pursuits. This is the reason why lots of graduates, upon graduating from their various institutions, embark on job hunt without second thoughts. Yes, it is good to finally become independent, after all, our parents have done their part by training us to university level. At this point, we have to face the harsh reality: there are a lot of graduates but a little available job offers. Thank God that we have a new government which knows the plight of young Nigerians, and which is willing to listen to options, suggestions and advice from the public. The unfortunate thing is the reality that our youths graduate in geometric progression but the available job opportunities is in arithmetic progression. Lots of individuals are laying complaints about youths wasting away, without proffering solutions to these predicaments. Thank God for successful entrepreneurs like Tony Elumelu, who through his foundation, is looking a

There is a damning report, published in the Punch onThursday, 13 August 2015, that documented a culture of sexual harassment, fraud, academic dishonesty, and plagiarism that have undermined the image of Nigerian universities as centres of high quality teaching, research, and learning. The issues raised in the report, even though they are well known, have blemished our tertiary education institutions and destroyed the notion of academic integrity.   Universities are established to advance teaching, learning and research, and to assist in community service. These objectives can never be achieved when academic staff turn their institutions into centres of corruption, human rights abuses, criminality, and militancy — all of which contribute to disrupt attainment of the core objectives of the universities. The quality of teaching and research in universities can never be improved under the current environment in which corruption and sexual abuse of students are widespread.  Professor Pe

What efforts are leaders making to resolve the division in the Ekiti APC? I don’t see what is going on as a division. It is not uncommon in politics to have tendencies within the broad spectrum within a party, provided they are dedicated to strengthening the party to deliver its agenda. What should be the agenda in Ekiti? It should be the retrieval of the state from the irresponsible leadership that is currently in office there. For us, as leaders of the party, we speak with one voice. The former governors who constitute the leadership are Mr. Segun Oni, Otunba Niyi Adebayo and myself. We are fully on the same page with the party leadership; the party executive; on how to reorganise the party in the aftermath of the June 21, 2014 governorship election and the recent general elections. So, we are building a process that will bring everyone who is genuinely interested in the party to work within the house. Those who choose to do otherwise clearly are not interested in the APC in E

The ongoing ministerial briefing of the President at the State House, Abuja, put a spotlight on an important sector long neglected by previous administrations, yet one that can create millions of jobs. The first briefing of a President by the Ministry of Science and Technology and its parastatal organization, the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, NASENI, over a period of many years showcased opportunities and the enormous achievements made in the invention, fabrication and assembly of capital products for the sustainable industrialization of the country. A matter for serious concern for President Muhammadu Buhari, who campaigned on a promise to create jobs is the paucity of investments in industry, without which there can be no new jobs or incomes. Experts have warned a long time ago that Nigeria has been frittering away its demographic dividend. Sixty-five per cent (65%) of the country’s population is made up of youth, and a majority of whom are said to b

Unarguably, our health sector remains the only sector with the highest number of industrial actions. Many lives have been lost in avoidable situations   owing to these incessant crises in the sector .In view of this, the current administration recently revealed its willingness to nip this intractable problem in the bud through privatisation of the Sector. But some cabals benefitting from the pitiable  state of our  health sector have once again raised an alarm against such move by  the government. I am aware that Satan will be surprised at some of the things happening in our country. Consider, for an instance, just recently it was reported that street beggars in Kaduna state were threatening to drag the state government to court for banning street begging and it was also reported that a fake doctor had the temerity of working, not even at the local or state government level but at the federal level in a country where qualified medical doctors stay many months at home before securing

Workers, under the aegis of Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers and Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (NUPENGASSAN), have challenged the new GMD of NNPC, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, to recover the stolen trillions of Naira in the oil and gas sector rather than retiring and sacking innocent workers. The workers claimed that the fight against corruption should not be turned against workers whom government have sworn to protect NUPENGASSAN, in a statement signed by the NUPENG President, Comrade Igwe Achese, and his PENGASSAN counterpart, Comrade Francis Johnson, in Lagos, at the weekend, said the two unions in the oil and gas sector have reservations about the approach of government to the reform programme in the oil and gas industry without carrying the two unions along in the process. Part of the statement read: “We dare the new GMD of NNPC, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, to recover the stolen trillions of Naira in the sector than retiring and sacking of innocent

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has given all its debtors a seven-day final demand notice to settle their indebtedness on or before Aug. 24. FAAN warned that at the expiration of this notice, the Authority would take all necessary measures to recover these debts in line with a Presidential directive. This is contained in a statement signed by its General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Mr Yakubu Dati, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Abuja. The statement said that all the debtors had earlier been communicated with details of their indebtedness to the aviation Authority. It advised affected debtors who were in doubt to reach the relevant credit control office at its headquarters to reconcile their accounts. FAAN said that the debt recovery drive was to enable the Authority to meet its responsibilities, within the burden of these huge debts, as a self-sustaining organization.

The estranged State Working Committee (SWC) members of the Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have accused the faction loyal to Governor Ayo Fayose of contempt of court. They threatened to jail the chairman of the faction backed by Fayose, Idowu Faleye, for allegedly spearheading the purported expulsion of four of them. The embattled SWC added that the action eroded the integrity of the court of law, where its members filed a suit against any punitive measure against them. The Chairman of the 11 SWC members, Tunde Olatunde, whose expulsion was announced by Faleye and three other state exco members, maintained that they would explore available legal and constitutional means to seek redress and ensure that those holding court in contempt were committed to prison. Others, who were expelled by the Faleye-led faction, were PDP State Secretary, Tope Aluko; Women Leader Mrs. Busola Oyebode and Auditor Tunji Olanrewaju. They were expelled for alleged anti-party activities. Olatund

To strengthen the technical crew for the 2015 African Games, the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF) has engaged the services of former German national coach, Martin Adomeit as its technical adviser. The hiring of the coach was made possible through the financial support of the National Sports Commission (NSC). The German tactician guided Nigeria’s Aruna Quadri to the quarter-final of the 2014 ITTF World Cup in Dusseldorf, Germany and he is expected to arrive Nigeria this week to start working with the team in readiness for the games. From 1978 to 1980 Martin Adomeit worked at youth level of clubs with Germany-based Soest TV and TuS Ampen. In 1981 he joined the TuS Jahn Soest and was part of the technical crew of the team’s female team in the Bundesliga League and in 1984, he took over as coach of the women’s team of the club. He also served from 1988 to 1997 as honourary coach of the West German Table Tennis Association (WTTA). In 1996, he was appointed as an assistant coach by

Arsenal recovered from their opening-day defeat by West Ham to record a hard-fought victory at Crystal Palace. Alexis Sanchez had three shots blocked as the Gunners began aggressively before Olivier Giroud got the opener. The Frenchman’s superb scissor kick put away a Mesut Ozil cross but the lead lasted 12 minutes until Joel Ward’s driven shot drew Palace level. Connor Wickham hit the post on his home debut before Damian Delaney sliced a Sanchez header into his own net. Jordon Mutch almost inadvertently grabbed a late equaliser when the ball struck his head and went over from a corner, while Petr Cech held a Ward header in a frantic finish. But despite Palace’s combative display, Arsene Wenger’s side ultimately deserved the three points for the quality of their movement and resilience in defence.

Manchester City went top of the Premier League table with a dominant victory over reigning champions Chelsea. Sergio Aguero was denied three times by Chelsea keeper Asmir Begovic before he marked his first game of the season with a goal after Yaya Toure’s pass. City were dominant, Eden Hazard forcing Joe Hart into his only serious save. Vincent Kompany made it 2-0 with a header from David Silva’s corner before Fernandinho fired home from 18 yards. Here is what Mourinho said on Sky Sports that set twitter agog: “The best team in the first half won the game. The best team in the second half was Chelsea for sure. We had a difficult first half, we didn’t create a lot and our goalkeeper made a few important saves. “Second half everything was different. If the 1-0 was a doubtful result at minute 70, 3-0 is completely fake. At 1-0 Chelsea were the best team for the whole second half. “They make a change because they feel 1-0 is in danger and we concede a second goal. If 1-1 a different

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has urged President Mohammadu Buhari to tread cautiously and be mindful of the body language of those hailing him today, saying; “the president should be cautious enough to know that the former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar led National Peace Committee tactically told him to tread cautiously and be mindful of the fact that he is not heading a military government.” The governor, who said he was not unaware of the sinister plot to destabilise his government because of his strong and truthful stands on national issues, vowed not to be cowed by threat from any quarter. According to a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said: “opposition is one of the roots on which democracy stands and any President or Governor that does not want opposition will eventually become a dictator. “I want to state without fear or favour that I
