  • Kogi 2019: What you need to know about the ‘top five’ candidates

    By Alao Abiodun

    The governorship election in Kogi state which is scheduled for 16th November will be keenly contested by a total of 23 candidates.

    The race for who heads the Lugard House in the next four years is already on.

    Interestingly, the strong political parties — the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Young Progressives Party (YPP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Accord Party, (AP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Peoples Redemption Party (PRP)— are parading notable aspirants. And barring any surprises, the APC and PDP are clearly in the lead

    Here is a succinct breakdown of the contestants for Kogi governorship election and their political parties;

    The candidates and their parties include; incumbent Yahaya Bello of the APC, Barrister Natasha Akpoti of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Engr. Abdulmalik Adama of Hope Democratic Party (HDP), Sheik Jibril of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Engr. Emmanuel Olorunmowaju Orugun of Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP).

    Others are Mohammed Abdullahi of Accord Party (AP), Abdulrazzaq Baba Emeje of United Democratic Party, (UDP), Engr. Musa Wada of the People Democratic Party (PDP) and Muhammed Zakari of Young Democratic Party (YDP). Musa Leslie Lasisi will hold the banner of National Action Council (NAC), while Jimoh Ahmodu will hold the one for Mass Action Joint Alliance (MAJA).

    In no particular order, here’s is a brief about the major contenders for the Kogi 2019 guber race.

    Governor Yahaya Bello (APC)

    yahaya-bello

    Incumbent governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State who is the APC governorship ticket, is currently pursuing his second term ambition and as such enjoys the power of incumbency which may perhaps, be among his strengths in the November 16 election.

    However, with the backings of the federal powers and support from APC governors from other states, he is favored to give a tough fight to the opposition party.

    Bello is also enjoying the overwhelming influence of his deputy, Edward Onoja.

    Irrespective of the whole political dilemma, Yahaya Bello will be walking a tight rope between his party and the opposition party’s candidate.

    Engr. Musa Wada (PDP)

    Musa-Wada

    Engr. Musa Wada is the official PDP flag bear and younger brother of former governor Idris Wada; He is also a son-in-law to former governor Ibrahim Idris having married one of his daughters.

    Wada who is from the majority Igala ethnic group boasts of the largest voting population in the state which is quite a boost to his political adventure.

    Apart from being an Igala, Wada is also from Dekina Local Government Area which has the largest voting strength amongst the 21 local governments of the state.

    Before his emergence into the political scene, Engineer Wada spent most of his life and career in the maritime sector.

    Abdullahi Mohammed (AP)

    Abdullahi Muhammed

    Abdullahi Mohammed who’s the official flag bearer and major financier for the Accord party will be giving his second attempt at the Kogi governorship elections 2019.

    In 2015, he reached the stage of the primary election before losing out.

    Barr Natasha Akpoti (SDP)

    Natasha Hadiza Akpoti

    Barr Natasha Akpoti (SDP) is the official flag bearer for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate.

    Interestingly, Natasha Akpoti has been engaged in quite a number of commendable activities across the state.

    The lawyer and social activist is a half caste – her late father was a medical doctor from Okene in Kogi Central, while her mother is from Russia.

    Her gubernatorial ambition is making waves across the state and might just be a candidate to watch.

    Akpoti is said to have the support of Ebira women and quite a handful of teeming supporters.

    Sheikh Jibril Ibrahim (APGA)

    Sheikh Jibril Ibrahim (APGA)

    Shielkh Ibrahim is the official flag bearer for the All Progressives Grand Alliance ahead of the Kogi 2019 guber elections.

    He was a former member of APC but was quite aggrieved with the party and he bolted out of the party alleging injustice.

    On the 16th of November, it is certain that the people of Kogi will elect who will saddle the affairs of the state from this obviously crowded basket of candidates.

  • Five secrets to irresistible smile

    By Mustapha Temidayo

     

    1. Say in silent tone “I love you”

    If you’ve ever met someone likable by their smile, yet you couldn’t explain specifically why you like them. You can learn to have a charming smile too, and all it takes is some modifications to your behavior.

    In silence and say to yourself, I will address every individual I come in contact with and say I Love You. Though

    spoken in silence these words will shine in your eyes, unwrinkled your brow, bring a smile to your lips, and echo in your voice; and the opposite sex heart will be opened.

     

    2. Maintain good eye contact

    There’s no doubt that making eye contact is one of the most powerful body language arsenals in all great people and it is the basic of customer service relation.

    However, doing it wrong will make you look creepy. Smile while making eye contact to instantly make

    yourself irresistible. Ten seconds is a safe time limit before looking elsewhere. Otherwise, you will trigger a

    person’s defense mechanism and make them feel uncomfortable.

    3. Avoid bad breadth

    The moment you perform the above techniques, the next is to be sure you don’t have a bad breadth, because if you do this could get the other person uncomfortable.

     

    4. Turn your body towards the person

    This involves turning your entire body towards another person. This body language trick got its name from the way most folks turn their attention to a baby. When being introduced to someone, make sure to give your

    undivided attention by pivoting your body towards them. This delivers the message that they’re special and

    you’re interested in them. True interest in another person makes you super irresistible in return.

     

    5. Use open hand gestures

    The handshake that we practice today was, in fact, an early custom to prove that you’re not hiding any weapons.

    That’s why we are suspicions when people don’t show their hands. With this in mind, use gestures to make you the most memorable person in the room.

  • Did Obasanjo travel more frequently than Buhari?

    By Justina Asishana

    CLAIM: The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, claimed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo travelled more frequently than President Muhammadu Buhari while in office.

    TRUE: Available evidence revealed that ex-President Obasanjo made 103 foreign trips from 1999 to 2003, which was his first term in office while President Buhari made 65 foreign trips during the same period.

    Full Story

    Oshiomole claimed that President Obasanjo travelled more frequently than President Buhari. He spoke while answering questions from journalists.

    “Saying Mr President is involved in frequent trips is not correct. I remember very well, there is no president in recent Nigeria’s history, since 1999 till now, that travelled out of Nigeria as much as former President Olusegun Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo did.

    “If you check through your newspapers and playback some of your electronic coverage, you will find where Gani Fawehinmi (of blessed memory) took time to calculate the number of days President Obasanjo was out of Nigeria, visiting foreign countries.”

    This has caused a lot of debate on social media, creating a somewhat equal divide- pro and against both Presidents. Some users on Twitter claimed Buhari’s trips, though not as frequent are long-lasting, arguing they helped shape Nigeria’s image. Others retorted that Obasanjo’s impact was greatly exaggerated.

    Verification

    Former President Obasanjo’s foreign trips from 1999 to 2007

    Checks by The Nation revealed that President Obasanjo travelled to 97 countries during his tenure as President.

    The former President also confessed this in a speech at Oxford University in January 2018, which was reported by various news media.

    With further search, it was discovered that within the 168 weeks of Obasanjo’s election, he made over 103 foreign trips which averaged 1.63 trips per week of his tenure in Presidency from 1999 to 2002.

    This information was obtained through a research work by Sanubi Franklins Avwoghokigho and Oke Chris Ifeanyi Adebowale of the Delta State University titled: “DIPLOMATIC SHUTTLES IN FOREIGN POLICY: WERE OBASANJO TRIPS DURING HIS TENURE OF ANY BENEFITS TO NIGERIA?”. The information was contained in page 146.

    Notwithstanding, the score-card of Obasanjo’s visit is impressive from the very beginning. Within a short period, various forms of social, political and economic ties have been forged with countries that once loathed Nigeria.

    Nigeria’s full re-admission into the comity of nations is copiously attested to. In (Osagie, 2007) the success list is instructive. Among others, the shuttles led to a “swift readmission into the Commonwealth” barely one month into the new regime.

    President Buhari’s foreign trips

    From 2015 to 2019, President Buhari has made about 65 foreign trips to 33 countries.

    A breakdown of the trips shows as follows:

    ● 2015 – 16

    ● 2016 – 21

    ● 2017 – 9

    ● 2018 – 15

    ● 2019 – 4

    Conclusion

    Available evidence during the fact check revealed that ex-President Obasanjo made 103 foreign trips from 1999 to 2003 which was his first term in office while President Buhari made 65 foreign trips within the same period.

    This fact-check was done by a Dubawa Fact-checking Fellow in collaboration with The Nation.

  • Eight ways couples can sustain love

    Oloko Omobolanle

    Many couples’ relationship face a downward that often ends in separation. It is possible to prevent stale moments from occurring by strengthen the substance of a relationship in a way that minimizes their impact and diminishes their frequency to a significant degree.

    · Having realistic expectation

    At the beginning of a relationship, things are as rosy as it gets. Both partners try to project the best versions of themselves to the other. But after the honeymoon phases is over, the reality sets in. You get to see your partner for what they really are, and that, most likely, would be a disappointment if you compare with what they had been at the beginning of the relationship.

    It is important to understand that everybody has flaws. They might not surface in the period of courtship, but they are there. Having realistic expectations and preparing yourself to deal with your partner’s latent flaws and can prevent you from the post-honeymoon period disappointment. It will also set up a positive and durable foundation for your relationship that will help your relationship to sustain longer.

    · Acknowledge each other’s strengths and weaknesses

    Many couples end breaking up because they fail to acknowledge each other’s strengths and weaknesses. They either feel like they are competing against each other, Relationships are not like that. They are not created out of convenience; they are formed out of love, trust, friendship, and respect.

    . Reward the company of each other

    When a couple has managed to face the ups and downs of rearing their children up and working towards a comfortable life for all the family members, the rewards in such a relationship are immense.

    Life has many glorious moments to offer to you as a couple. The smartest love relationship advice for all the couples in the world is to appreciate what life has to offer to them in each other’s company.

    · Avoid the blame game

    Blaming each other for things that have gone wrong is a catalyst for breakup. This is because there’s no need to find faults in each other for the sole reason that you two are in this together. Hence, whatever takes place in your relationship, good or bad, is a product of both your actions.

    · Don’t show your partner bad light in front of friends and family

    Complaining about your partner to others might like some harm less venting exercise. But this can dig a hole so deep in your relationship that cannot be repaired with any amount of effort. Revealing your dissatisfaction with your partner’s traits, habits to family or/and friends, or using condescending tones to converse with them in public, is something most people have done sometime in their marriage. But this can pent-up resentment in the relationship. Not to mention, it also kills the mutual respect couples have for each other’s relationship.

    · Listen

    When working towards a long lasting relationship, you should be always willing to listen. You not only hear your partner’s voice, but pay attention to every detail. By listening you learn what’s in your partner’s heart, and they learn what’s in yours. You two then find ways on how to improve your relationship.

    · Don’t relegate your relationship when you have children.

    After becoming parents, most couples devote the maximum amount of their time in parenthood related obligations. It’s true that children deserve extra care and a good portion of your time daily, but neglecting your partner and relationship can have adverse consequences. If not much, try and devote at least some of your days’ time to your relationship.

    · Adapt and Absorb

    Every partner has something to offer to his or her mate. You will have to learn to appreciate what others have to offer to you instead of doing your best to change them to fit your ideas and templates of how love and life should be lead. Sooner or later, you will have to start accepting the fact that your partner is fallible.

  • Six things you shouldn’t have in your home

    Your home should be your haven, a safe place you can relax, unwind and be at peace. However, to achieve this there are certain things you should get out of your home. Here are six things to never bring into your home.

    Pictures

    Not just any picture, but pictures of people you don’t really like, pictures of people who hurt you deeply and pictures of those you don’t know at all or those who died tragically. Generally, avoid having pictures of people or events that sadden you, in your home. You would think most people will know this, but most people typically do the opposite and continually deny themselves the opportunity to overcome the bad aura from the past.

    Old worn shoes

    If they are ripped, worn or no longer in use, you should dump them. There’s no need to have them in your home taking up space that can be used house better things. Besides, you’ll be sparing yourself the unsettling smell of old worn shoe.

    Broken objects

    If it’s broken, throw it out and replace it (if you can or if you want to). Avoid keeping broken items in your home, regardless of how expensive they are or regardless of their emotional significance. You can try to repair it or put it together if you can, but keep in mind that this should be a temporary solution pending when you can replace it. Avoid managing broken things for a long period. Aside being improper, it can be dangerous.

    Old irrelevant periodicals

    Get rid of old newspapers or magazines you no longer need to avoid cluttering your home and to prevent pests and insects from hiding in or around them. You might have read and loved these periodicals but unless they are in some way relevant, it’s advised you get rid of them to create space for new inspiring material.

    Clothes you don’t wear

    It’s normal to hold on to clothing in case the style comes back into fashion or in case they might fit you again someday, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen that way. At this point, you therefore need to get rid of them to create space for clothes you do love and are more likely to wear. Besides, giving the clothes out to a charity home can be quite emotionally fulfilling.

    Out-of-date technology and cords

    We are all guilty of this. Sitting at some area or corner of our home, there are one or two out-of-date tech items and corresponding cords and adaptors we hardly ever or might even never use. Why keep these purposeless items in your home? Consider throwing them out, donating or reselling some of these out-of-date tech items and corresponding cords, and avoid wasting time looking for the tech items you actually use amidst the clutter.

  • Six things every man wants in a relationship

    Praise Olowe

    Psychologists and relationship experts say men are from Mars and women from Jupiter, meaning they are so very different.

    This might be the reason why two people can be in love, but can’t seem to live together or relate to each other in harmony.

    Men and women are human beings, but their needs are very different.

    As women, therefore, it is important to learn how to relate with the special man in your life to get the best from him, and be a fulfilled woman.

    Respect:
    Men are wired in a peculiar way, what do I mean by this? Every man wants to be treated with respect from his woman. For men, their ego is of utmost importance.

    As such, the wise woman will treat her man with utmost respect.

    How do I show respect? Some ladies ask, by deferring to him, in all things, by not criticizing him to anyone, by treating him like your man.

    Why? Because in every man there is a king, and a boy, treat him like a king and he will treat you like a queen.

    Love:
    Every man wants his woman to love him. How? Give unconditional love. Show him affection. Be nice to him, especially when times are rough or he is feeling down.

    Treat him with kindness always, not only when he buys you things or is nice to you. As human beings, we need love the most when we deserve it the least. So treat your man with the kindness you would extend to your baby, spouse, or dearest relative, come what may and he will show you the same.

    Feed him with his love language, for some its acts of service, for others, words of affirmation, or touch. Whatever it is, find out what your man likes or wants.

    Commitment:
    Committing to a relationship is a big step for any man, so when you have a man who has made a commitment to you, either in marriage or relationship, pay him the same compliment.

    No games, please. Be transparent in your commitment.

    For some reasons, many ladies think it is okay to keep more than one man, but it is really not worth it.

    Integrity:
    Every man wants a woman he can trust. Not one who says one thing in the morning and another thing at night. But one who is so reliable. So ladies, no lies, no tricks.

    Don’t be in Lagos and say you are in Abuja, the truth can never be hidden for long, and a lie will always be exposed. Also, honesty; which is an integral part of integrity builds trust and sustains a relationship.

    Be the type of woman your man can trust.

    Industriousness:
    An industrious woman is hardworking, whether in keeping the home or maintaining the equilibrium in the relationship, or her workplace.

    There are ladies today who can’t cook, clean, wash or keep their environments clean.

    Also, the reality of the financial situation in the country demands that women work, if not outside the home, but at least do something to supplement the family income.

    The truth is that most guys today are not ready to commit themselves to women who don’t have a means of livelihood as they are seen as liabilities.

    Homeliness:
    Every man wants a woman who is homely, one that will make a house into a home.

    No man wants a woman about town, one who goes everywhere, never remaining at home. There is an art to this, and it must be learned at all costs.

    This trait was taught and cherished in traditional African societies that have been thrown out of the window in the name of civilization.

    You should always find time out of your busy schedule to spend moments with your man and family.

  • Eight ways ladies get men’s attention

    Our Reporter

    1. Be ambitious and independent: A lady that has her ducks in a row and can bankroll herself is a major turn on.

    But, be sure that you don’t come off as a braggart talking all about your achievements and showing off, that is when independence becomes a turnoff. Remember men are not into high maintenance women.

    2. Wearing leggings or yoga pants:

    Leggings will clearly outline your silhouette and men get to see what they are working with without even seeing you naked and that is a turn on.

    3. Play PS with the guys or knows a thing or two about sports: Okay, you don’t have to know all the footballers out there but men will appreciate a girl that can just kick it with boys, play PS together or watch a football game without nagging or complaining every other second.

    On this point, the men also appreciate competitiveness – you know when you are playing say a game of cards with your man and you nudge him after you win? Not like in a fighting way but just being a little bit extra? Yeah, that shit is cute.

    4. Have appetite:

    First of all, a man will appreciate when you can cook a good meal for him. It is also super cute when you can chow down a bowl of food. Men generally love food and eat a lot so if you have a great appetite, that is a good thing for most guys.

    5. Develop the same musical taste:

    Might sound surprising, but imagine going on a road trip with a hip hop head and you like country music? Boring much? Liking the same music plays a huge part in building the chemistry between the two of you.

    6. Laugh a lot:

    It will boost a guy is confidence to know that he can make you happy. Even if the joke was a lame, smile. Happy girls are the prettiest, they say.

    7. Be positive:

    It is not always easy to remain positive when things go awry so when guys find a chic that stays positive through thick and thin, that is a major turn-on.

    8. Maintain eye contact:

    See a guy you like in a club? Simple, just make eye contact!
