The market women leader in the area, MrsAdeyemi Christiana commended Unilever for the quality products produced by the company, especially the sunlight detergent. "We appreciate Sunlight Detergent because as market women, we are prone to dirt and sunlight detergent is readily available to help us with its 2-in-1 cleaning and freshening ability.

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 04:42 AM PDT Article written by Charly Boy... The other day I called a family meeting, in attendance was three of my daughters, two from the United states (Adaeze/Margaret) who have finished their master's degree, looking for juicy employment, my eldest daughter Yvonne, who more or less runs my business. My first grandchild Olivia who is on vacation from school in Mauritius, my Mum, my last son Charles who runs his own fashion business and doesn't live with me, my younger brothers daughter Nancy waiting to move in with her husband and my wife Lady Di. A house full of women, hummm.The main crux of the meeting was reinforcing their sense of responsibility as long as they remain in my house and how we need to enhance our bounding and the love we share by doing things that promotes a united family. In short God blessed me with a good family. Family is something that we cannot do without, everyone existing originated from a family. The general expectation from family is love, help, togetherness. Family gives us a level of safety, whenever we are around them we feel safer… Finish here… http://www.charlyboy.org/ | ||||||||
Dear LIB readers: I can't stop blaming myself for my neighbour's broken marriage Posted: 21 Sep 2014 04:20 AM PDT From a male LIB reader
Then I told my friend to lets go intervene and help them settle whatever they might be arguing about, but my friend said "No, it's their business, lets increase the volume of the TV so we won't hear their arguments again...let husband and wife settle their differences themselves" I obliged reluctantly, and since it was an action movie we were watching, with the sporadic shooting and sound effects, we couldn't hear them again. Fast forward to the next morning. The man was dressed and ready to go to work at around 8am, then he entered our apartment and said , "Guys, don't tell me you didn't hear I and my wife argue yesternight" My friend retorted sharply and denied, "Nope, you know the Generator was on and we were watching the TV so loud" Then he broke the bad news that he lost his temper and beat his wife mercilessly because she spent the money he kept with her for the building of their house, so the wife parked all her belongings with their daughter at around 12am, got into a taxi and swore never to return to the house again and he told her "So be it" Then he said, "Perhaps, if you guys had shown up, I wouldn't lose my temper, my wife wouldn't pack her things" He then vowed never to accept her again. I tried to persuade him but he remained adamant. I called the wife same day and she said she was currently in her parent's house, and she thought we purposely didn't want to intervene, then she said we were wicked. The wife and her family said their daughter would never return to the man, and the husband and his family said they also don't want her again for squandering their son's 400k, for not being savvy and for being promiscuous (Her promiscuity I know of) . She seems too young to be in marriage hence the youthful exuberance. They got married because she got pregnant. | ||||||||
MTN Project Fame’s unbeatable milestone in UK, US, Canada and Africa Posted: 21 Sep 2014 04:33 AM PDT One would be right to affirm that consistency, creativity and professionalism have been the hallmark of the ongoing MTN Project Fame 7.0. Little wonder why the TV broadcast and online channels of the show have gathered a huge global followership in such a short span. About a week ago, the cumulative views on YouTube hit a stunning figure of 4.7 million. A breakdown of the statistics shows that 1.7 million was recorded this season, with a large chunk of the traffic coming from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
Within the Africa continent, in faraway Egypt, South Africa and neighbouring countries like Cameroon and Ghana, according to Malike Dorothy, the publisher of Treasure Diary, a magazine published in Central Africa, the reality show has grown to be a popular family entertainment and the winners are held in high regard. Little wonder, Chidinma Ekile, the Season 3 winner of the musical academy, won the KORA award for the Best Artiste (female category), in 2013, in Abidjan.
Commendably, the online video view time in minutes has grown to 13 million. This is historical and a testament to how much satisfaction families are deriving from the show in the digital era. With this season producing brilliant performances, week-in week-out, and viewers debating who will emerge the eventual winners between Emeka, Geoffrey, Christian, Ruky, Clement, Debbie, Ugo and Dianella, the total view time is expected to grow exponentially in the days ahead. That said. The popularity of the show among global audience has made it the biggest in Africa. Its productivity rate in terms of past contestants who made it into mainstream music industry has also made the platform the choice of talented West African youths who aim to make a living through entertainment.
Some of the milestones achievement can be traced to the undying passion exhibited by MTN, the reality show's sponsor. Over the years, MTN has distinguished itself as a brand that seeks to create a better life for its host communities. This, it has made possible through the various platforms it creates to reach out to the youth whose talents it seeks to nurture either through football and scholarship programmes, dance competitions or music academy like Project Fame.

Red Cross involved in secret Boko Haram prisoner swap to release Chibok girls Posted: 21 Sep 2014 04:12 AM PDT Looks like the federal govt is in talks with Boko Haram to release Chibok girls despite vowing a few months ago not to negotiate with the terror group. According to UK Telegraph, the International Committee of the Red Cross is currently involved in a secret prisoner swap deal to secure the release of the girls. Find the report below... Officials from the Geneva-based organisation have sat in on talks between the Nigerian government and a senior Boko Haram leader currently held in one of the country's maximum security prisons. The Red Cross officials have also visited a number of other jails, identifying a list of 16 senior commanders that Boko Haram wants freed in exchange for its hostages. The ICRC's role in the talks represents the first official confirmation that the Nigerian government is actively engaged in talks with Boko Haram over the release of the girls. Publicly, Nigeria's president, Goodluck Jonathan, has maintained that the government would never agree to any kind of negotiations. The ICRC, whose global remit includes prisoners' welfare, has agreed to act as an independent party in ensuring that the two sides, neither of which trust each other, honour any prisoner swap agreement. It has also offered to monitor and oversee any co-ordinated exchange of the schoolgirls for the militants. Fred Eno, a veteran Nigerian civil rights activist who has been involved in the talks, told The Telegraph: "We felt the negotiations would go better with the backing of a major international humanitarian organisation like the ICRC. There have been two or three ICRC people at each meeting - international staff rather than Nigerians - and they accompany the government security agents to the various prisons and detention centres to identify the people that Boko Haram want released." The negotiations began around two months ago, when representatives of the ICRC, along with government officials and intermediaries from Nigerian civil rights groups, met with a senior Boko Haram leader currently serving a life sentence in Kuje prison, near the Nigerian capital, Abuja. The Boko Haram leader, identified only as "Omar", acted as a spokesman for all the group's detainees. A source close to the talks claimed that at one point, the discussions came close to reaching a deal, with delegations despatched to the city of Yola, in north-east Nigeria, in preparation for picking up the girls. However, the deal then broke down when Boko Haram refused to release all the girls at once, as the government had insisted. "The insurgents wanted to release the girls on a piecemeal basis, but the government turned down that offer," the source said. "There was also some opposition from some factions inside of the government to doing any kind of prisoner swap at all, as they feel the Boko Haram prisoners are hardened criminals who have committed heinous crimes." Mr Eno said the 16 prisoners that Boko Haram wanted released were not well-known names among the Nigerian public, but were still senior figures in the group. "They were senior enough that some other commanders who had taken their place are worried about what will happen to their own positions if they are released," he said. He added that one of the reasons for the breakdown in the agreement was that in some cases, the ICRC and prison authorities had been unable to match the names on the Boko Haram list to prisoners held in any jails. He said was possible that this was because the names were simply wrong or inaccurate, but that the group had inferred that the government was trying to hold some prisoners back, and had therefore refused to release all the girls at once. News of the ICRC's involvement may bring a glimmer of hope for the girls' families, many of whom have begun to fear that they may never see their daughters again. Some have even asked the government to officially declare their children as dead so that they can conduct formal funerals. Western diplomats in Abuja also told The Telegraph recently that they doubted the girls would ever be released because of Western pressure on the Nigerian government not to negotiate with a terrorist group as brutal as Boko Haram. The ICRC has a track record in trying to assist people held captive by insurgent groups. In Afghanistan, its staff have made discreet visits to private jails run by the Taliban, even as the Taliban engage in fighting with coalition forces. A spokesman for the ICRC in Geneva would neither confirm nor deny its involvement in the talks, but said it was willing to help "in facilitating the transfer of people back to families if necessary". He added: "We have a dialogue with all the different parties, and if there is any way we can help as a neutral humanitarian organisation, we will." Culled from UK Telegraph | ||||||||
Nude photos of Kim K, Gabby Union and more stars leak online Posted: 21 Sep 2014 07:06 AM PDT This tweet is so apt..lol. We've all seen Kim's nakedness so nobody really cares. But anyway, hackers last night released more stolen pics of Kim K, Jennifer Lawrence, Gabrielle Union, Vanessa Hudgens, Hayden Panettiere, Kaley Cuoco, Avril Lavigne, Hope Solo and many more celebs in the biggest celeb scandal in history, that has prompted an FBI investigation. The hackers hacked these celebs iCloud accounts three weeks ago and shared their nude photos online. Then they released a list of other celebs and promised to share their nude photos soon...yeah well, soon was last night. The hacker/s titled it 'The Fappening: The Second Coming'. The photos are on 4chan Reddit, Facebook and Twitter...in case you want to see them..:-) Gabrielle Union has confirmed her images are real and says she plans to call in the FBI to investigate. She released a statement to TMZ "It has come to our attention that our private moments, that were shared and deleted solely between my husband and myself, have been leaked by some vultures. "I can't help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time, women and children, specifically women of color, have been victimized, and the power over their own bodies taken from them. These atrocities against women and children continue worldwide. "For anyone out there also being affected by these and other hacking and hate crimes. We send our love, support and prayers. We have done nothing wrong."All the pics are on anonymous site, 4Chan. That is the original site the hackers released the pics before it was re-posted on other social media platform. The FBI are threatening to arrested those re-posing the images and have been using other hackers to remove the images online. But 4chan users are having a blast with the nude pics by reopening other threads once the threads with the pics are closed "Do they really think that they have any chance of stopping us? We will just make a new thread every time one gets 404'ed."Sharing these stolen pics is actually illegal. | ||||||||

The 12 soldiers sentenced to death deserve to die - Ex-generals Posted: 21 Sep 2014 02:35 AM PDT While the rest of us are begging for leniency, some retired senior military officers say the 12 soldiers sentenced to death last week for attacking their GOC at their barracks in Maiduguri, deserve to die. Speaking with Sunday Punch, the ex-generals said it's necessary for the military to maintain its age-long rules on discipline, hailed the judgement and said it must be carried out. A former Commandant of the Nigerian Army School of Infantry, Brig.-Gen. Williams Obene (retd.), said,
A former Adjutant-General of the Nigerian Army, Major General David Jemibewon (retd.), said
Retired Colonel Anthony Nyiam also hailed the judgment, saying
Former military administrator of Bauchi and Osun states, Col. Theophilus Bamigboye (retd.), backed the sentence, saying
If all these people are backing their death sentence then there may not be hope for these soldiers. But I pray it isn't so because that will be so sad. Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army says it's waiting for the approval of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Kenneth Minimah, on the death sentence given to the soldiers. Source: Punch | ||||||||
