The stolen but returned dress

According to TMZ the thief that stole and also returned  Lupita Nyongo's alleged $150.000 dress says it is a worthless fake and that he was out to expose  "Hollywood's fake bulls**t."

Your 'Freedom of Expression' Carries "Special Duties and Responsibilities"

Why so much bitterness in the name of political Campaign?

Why so many lies and misinformation?

Why so many treated/edited/photoshopped images just to back up lies?

Why so much confusion?

Why so much cruel and inhumane fabricated texts flying around?

Let's the Rivalry be a very healthy one.

Let's use the technology positively.

We all know that there's freedom of expression, also there's limitation to it, especially "when the rights or reputations of others are involved". So let's be civil and show maturity and manners in addressing other individuals. We all have our "rights" also we do have our "obligations".  

According to Article 19 (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights), your freedom of expression carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subjected to certain restrictions" when necessary, "for respect and the rights of reputation of others" or "for the protection of national security or public order or public health."

"Are You Rebelling Against The King"?

Always "talking" me into the Church: Here is what the Pastor says we should read and digest today.  

"They were willing to carry out an attack"

Four suspected members of a terror cell were arrested by the Spanish authorities on Saturday morning in that country's North African territory of Ceuta, a quartet that Spain's Interior Minister claimed were well-trained and well-prepared to attack. Ceuta is a tiny, 7-square-mile Spanish exclave bordering Morocco, across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain.

Nigeria 2015: "A General is always a General."

Pa Olusegun Obasanjo, former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a man that can never be predicted; he says it how it comes his way.

Nigeria 2015: "My examination number was 8280002"

Good Morning, Gentlemen of the Press.

Otherwise, I would have dismissed it for what it is - sheer mischief and would not have considered it an issue worth the nation’s while.

LEADERSHIP 101: Nigeria on my Mind

Dele Ajaja

“Leadership is a momentous endeavor. It transcends being the lucky official who heads a flock of uninformed followers. It surpasses the unmerited personal comfort sustained by the commonwealth of the people. It outstrips the ephemerals of lights, cameras, microphones, shimmering convoys, and overzealous defenders. It exceeds dwelling in a marble castle adjacent to the shantytown crammed by the conventional people. It is about having the gift of integrity; to be in charge of people’s treasury without looting it. It is okay to be critiqued for being a firm leader, and it is even worth dying for. The head who is not willing to die, for the people to live, is not a living leader. Leadership is about the affection, appreciation, and space created for the trailblazer in the hearts of an appreciative people. It is about what posterity has in stock for the real leader.” – DELE AJAJA
