Nigeria is on the verge of a break up - Bishop Oyedepo says

Speaking recently on the spate of bombings and attacks in the country, GO of the Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo said that Nigeria is on the verge of a break up.
"I hope that we are willing to find solution to it. I would be the last person in this world to believe that government has not discovered those who are behind Boko Haram.

How NFF boss Aminu Maigari was impeached

Aminu Maigari

Eight members of the NFF board signed the order of impeachment against their former boss in Abuja on Thursday afternoon                    

The plot to impeach the former president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Aminu Maigari came to fruition on Thursday as eight (8) of the 13 board members of the Federation voted in favour of his impeachment in what seemed like a mini palace coup conducted at the Board Room of the secretariat in Abuja.

Last week Thursday when the NFF Board met and wrote to Fifa that all was well and peace had returned to Nigerian football, which prompted FIFA to lift the suspension placed on the country, the impeachment exercise was stalled as a result of a tie among the 12 members then (with six on both sides). Thirteenth member Felix Amyansi-Agwu was absent as he was out of the country.

The opposition had to re-strategize and they had the upper hand by winning two more members from Maigari’s side despite one of them, Ahmed Kawu alleging that his

How to think Freaky and Finish First

“I wish that I had magic answers and silver bullets where I could march into any group and say, ‘Here are the five things you need to do, and everything will be better,’” Stephen Dubner said during a recent speech I attended. Instead, he shared a few stories that had taught him and his coauthor, economist Steven Levitt, a different way to look at the world. To find the best solution hiding in plain sight, try 
So, What is the Solution?

Getting Eight Hours of Sleep a Night? You Might Just Want to Cut Back

CEOs, politicians and other high achievers (we’re looking at you,Hillary Clinton) may only need an insane three to five hours of sleep a night. But normal folk require the optimal eight. Right? Not exactly, according to a glut of new research that shows Americans are on average sleeping less than they used to — and that seven hours might actually be the better span to aim for.
“The lowest mortality and morbidity is with seven hours,” Shawn Youngstedt, a professor in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation at Arizona State University Phoenix, told the Wall Street Journal. “Eight hours or more has consistently been shown to be hazardous.” Experts still generally recommend the range of seven to nine hours nightly for healthy adults, but the ideal

FG bans registration and deportation of citizens from any part of the country



The Federal Government on Monday warned security agencies and other groups against registering or deporting Nigerians from wherever they live in the country. The administration gave the warning after the meeting of the Security Council at the Presidential Villa.
President Goodluck Jonathan chaired the meeting, which was attended by service chiefs, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, and the Director General of the State Security Service, Ita Ekpeyong. A group, the Goodluck Jonathan, had last week asked non-Northerners residing in that part of the country to relocate to their respective states within the next two weeks.
The group said in a statement signed by its national president, Aliyu Usman, and Secretary, Alfred Solomon, after a visit to the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sunusi II, that the decision was

8 Ways to Expand Your Network Today


The next time you’re standing at yet another industry happy hour, put down the Chardonnay and try these tips to start meeting people outside your niche.
Networking is about building relationships, sharing information and finding sources of support.

We asked eight entrepreneurs from the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) to give us their tips for mastering the art of meeting people beyond the boundaries of your business interests and connections:

Man Sends Wife Spreadsheet Of Times She Denied Him S£x


A 26 year old s£xually frustrated man created a spreadsheet detailing reasons why his wife would not have s£x with him. For a whole month, the man jotted down every reason the woman gave to turn him down when he asked for s£x…from ‘I’m too tired’, to ‘I’m watching the show’ to ‘I have to be up early’ and sent it to her via email during a business trip to get her attention. She said when she tried to reach him after receiving the email, he refused to pick her calls and she angrily posted it on Reddit.

The lady said they’d been together for five years but only married for two years without any kids.
