  • Talk to Aunty Rita

    Dear Aunty Rita,

    My school is organizing an Art Competition and I want to participate. The first prize is cash and scholarship throughout secondary school . I want to try my best but my mother wants to give it to real artist to do! I don’t think it’s proper! What do you think?

    Collins M ( JSS2)

     

    Dear Collins,

    Nigeria is blessed to have children like you, who love to work with their own hands and do not try to look for short cuts! I am really delighted that you wrote this letter.

    I know it will bring great joy to your parents if you win the competition and also, a relief on their purse; but you don’t have to cheat to win! If a professional artist makes a perfect work for you and you win, that will be falsehood!

    You still have a lot of good to achieve in the future, if you kill your conscience now, you will always look for easy ways out and it doesn’t always pay. Try your best and leave the rest for God.

    Yours Truly,

    Aunty Rita

  • Talk to Aunty Rita

    Dear Aunty Rita,

    I am 12 years old and my sister is 11years,my parents show her more love than I and sometimes I wonder maybe I am not their child. Also, a times I hate her as we are always fighting! What do you advice?

    Victoria B (JSS 2)

     

    Dear Victoria,

    I can see that your feelings are really genuine and you are angry at the situation. I believe your parents love you equally, but because you are older they expect you to take responsibility for your younger sister .Also your sister may be weaker than you health wise and emotionally and that may explain why your parents are protective of her.

    However, no matter what their reason for their seemingly greater love for your sister, my advice is that you should love your sister and seek her best interest always. God knows why you were both born into the same family, so make the best of it.

    Check out a list of siblings working together in love and famous for what they do! Serena and Venus Williams are sisters (champions in Lawn Tennis), Peter and Paul Okoye (P Square) and their elder brother Jude who is their Manager, also Gabriel and Kunle Afolayan who are versatile actors.

    Be the best sister ever.

    Yours Truly,

    Aunty Rita

  • Keshi, Joel Obi talk at last

    Keshi, Joel Obi talk at last

    Super Eagles Chief Coach, Stephen Keshi has finally contacted back-to-form Inter Milan defensive midfield player, Joel Obi.

    Keshi disclosed in Abuja last week Wednesday that he would love to have the midfield star back into the Eagles fold but injury had prevented him from re-joining the team since he last played for the Eagles in 2011 under former handler Samson Siasia prior to the 2012 Africa Nations Cup which Nigeria failed to qualify for then.

    Sportinglife spoke with Eagles Coach and the player and they confirmed that they had contacted each other and the discussions went well.

    “Yes I spoke with the coach severally since last week and everything went well. Although I couldn’t get him on telephone so, I contacted Team Secretary, Dayo Enebi and he gave me Coach’s (Keshi’s) telephone number and we discussed. It was a father and son discussion and I am very happy to contribute my quota to the team any time he (Keshi) deems it fit to invite me. I will honour the call with all enthusiasm”, Joel Obi disclosed to Sportinglife from his base in Italy yesterday.

    Keshi also corroborated Joel’s claim shortly after the Eagles mid-week parley at the Bolton White Hotel Camp of the Eagles yesterday.

    “Yes I spoke with him severally since the last media parley with you guys (sports journalists) last Wednesday. Joel is like a son to me and I love the way he plays. He is skilful and has the talent of a great player. I spoke with him many times now and he has given assurances of playing for the team any time I invite him. I only pray that he doesn’t sustain injuries again so that he can contribute his quota to the team also”, Keshi revealed.
