Addicted to Killing
"If I leave here in 10, 15, 20 years, I'll go back to doing the same thing."
"When I didn't kill, I
would get nervous, I would pace around the house,
and then when I killed, it calmed me."
"I started robbing purses
and small things like that," "And as I got older, I
started having a different thoughts. My thoughts started changing. From
stealing, I started thinking about killing."

Nigeria 2015: Clean and Open Business
Nigeria 2015 Presidential candidate Major General Muhammadu Buhari declares what he has to the whole world
"I have at least one million naira in my bank, having paid N5.5 million
to pick my form from my party. I have around 150 cattle because I am
never comfortable without cows. I have a house each in Kaduna, Kano, and
Daura which I borrowed money to build. I never had a foreign account
since I finished my course in the USA, India and the UK. I never owned
any property outside Nigeria. Never."

Gambia: Omar Jallow (OJ) Against Anti-Gay law
Omar Amadou Jallow aka OJ, Ex-Agriculture Minister and People Progressive Party (PPP) leader speaks out against Gambia anti-gay law:
“I don’t think it is appropriate for us to send someone to life
imprisonment because we don’t like them or what they do. And I am
telling Jammeh and the Gambian people that if we want to implement
shariah law in this country, it is illegal, uncalled for and
unconstitutional because this country is not an Islamic state, but a
secular state.”
"The life sentence law against the gay people is wrong and it should be
repealed immediately. I would rather leave things for God to decide and
not me as He is the maker of every human being."

Ex-Commissioner (Kogi State of Nigeria) Speaks Out
Hon. Barrister Thomas Ojoka Acholo, Ex-Commissioner for Culture & Tourism (Kogi State of Nigeria) speaks out to SolaBranded.com
What's the most funny story about yourself?
You are a successful barrister, and your success in your
field has enhanced your appointment as the Commissioner for Culture and
Tourism of Kogi State of Nigeria; what was the experience like as a
commissioner and what would you have done better if any?
First and foremost I am grateful to God almighty for all I have
achieved as a lawyer and a Hon. Commissioner for Culture and tourism
Kogi state. The experience as commissioner is an interesting one. In
the office you face a lot of things both the ones you plan
for and even unimaginable. As a Hon. Commissioner you are to try and
address whatever comes to your table. It is an office where you meet
different people on a daily basis. When in office I never leave anything to chance because every day I
enter my office I believe that is 'The last day'. I did all I have to do, I
try to clear all the file on my table. As a political appointee you
can be drop at any time. So when the cabinet was dissolved, it does not
come as a surprise.
What's the most funny story about yourself?
The funny thing about myself is that I don't feel as a commissioner I'm more important than any of the staff. I believe we are all equal.
Are there any political or social issues you feel passionate about?
I feel passionate about some social issues especially when some
junior staff are better than their seniors in terms of performance in the
office, yet they were denied a lot of benefits.

Lesbialism In Us
I was forced to suck a woman's breast from the very first hour I joined her; I knew nothing, I had to suck and suck, that was the only way to survive day and night. Whenever I cry due to discomfort of any sort, the first thing this woman comes with was breast all over my face at times blocking my nose, each time I manage to survive by trying to push a larger part of the breast away, just focusing on the nipple where my daily meal comes from, in form of white liquid. It was not a pleasant experience at start, a bit uncomfortable finding the right position. After few days or weeks, the passionate eye contact came in, it took us time to know each other, it seems to be a natural process, at last we both defined the best breastfeeding/sucking position.
Nigeria 2015: Akinwumi Ambose in his own words
My

I accept this ticket to run as the flag bearer of our great party, APC

you the people through the delegates. And to my fellow contestants, I
have nothing but commendation and respect for putting up a good contest.

I extend my hand of fellowship and ask you to join me, in not only winning the general election in February 2015 but to continue to build the tradition of excellence in governance that our party has come to be associated with in Lagos State. The success of this primary and the victory that has come out of it is not just for me but for all of us that stepped into the water. It is a victory for Lagosians and for democracy.

Concepts of African Traditional Religion (ATR)
Religion is a difficult word to
define and it becomes even more difficult in the context of African
Traditional Religion. I do not attempt to define it, except to say
that for Africans it is an ontological phenomenon; it pertains to the
question of existence or being. For Africans, the whole of existence
is a religious phenomenon; man is a deeply religious being living in
a religious universe.

should know where I stand on issues and find me reliable and
predictable.
As former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Defence, you have sponsored ten bills out of which four received the assent
of The President; how do you feel with such achievement and what would
you do better if giving the chance to serve your people again? They remain my treasure. Giving an opportunity to serve again, I will
seek to proactively sharpen The Executive Arm of Government policies and
direct the government productively.
