Donald Trump on Thursday called on the New York Times to reveal the name of the "coward" who wrote an explosive, anonymous article that has plunged his presidency into its worst crisis yet. The White House has been convulsed by a fevered hunt for the senior official who declared, in an unsigned article for The New York Times published Wednesday, that "unsung heroes" were quietly working within the administration to frustrate the president's "worst inclinations." "Nobody knows who the hell he is, or she," Trump told supporters at a rally in Billings, Montana, adding: "Unidentified deep state operatives who defy voters to push their secret agendas are truly a threat to democracy itself." Invoking national security concerns, Trump said the paper should publish the official's name, before encouraging reporters to investigate the matter. "That would be a good scoop!" he said. On the internet and in Washingt...

He only wants you when he’s drunk. When he’s lonely and hates the idea of crawling into bed alone. When he’s had a night out with his friends and the evening (or morning, really) has started winding down. When everyone is dispersing and going home. When he’s not ready to leave without a companion He only wants you when he’s drunk. When his body wants another body and it doesn’t even matter if it’s your body. When he wants a mouth and hands and anything else to make him feel good. He only wants you when he’s drunk. When he can text you and ask what you’re doing and you’ll jump at a chance to have his attention. When he gives you just enough that you foolishly think it means more. He only wants you when he’s drunk. When the sky is blanketed in darkness and no one can see good intentions. Because they aren’t there. There’s no light anywhere. He only wants you when he’s drunk. When he can blame the liquor and conveniently forget the way he held your face in his hands. When...

Nigeria’s former vice-president, Atiku Abubakar, has described president Muhammadu Buhari as ‘power-drunk’, saying he fears for the country’s election next year. Atiku announced his presidential bid in July, is canvassing support to be nominated as the presidential flag-bearer for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a party he rejoined earlier this year. “We are dealing now with a retired general (Buhari), very uncompromising, also power-drunk who will not be ready to leave power without a fight, or at least those are some of my fears for the current elections,” he said Monday evening. We are dealing now with a retired general (Buhari), very uncompromising, also power-drunk who will not be ready to leave power without a fight. Abubakar, 71, was vice-president under president Olusegun Obasanjo between 1999, when civilian rule was restored in Nigeria, and 2007. A second term for Buhari? Buhari, who has also declared his intentions to seek a second term, has re...

He is not a love at first sight. As cliche as it can be, I can still remember the first time I saw him. He was wearing crisp blue long sleeves tucked in slacks. He was not that tall. His hair was actually a bit annoying at first. There was no remarkable feature in his face. But overall, he looked handsome still. Maybe it was the way he carried himself. Maybe it was sheer confidence. Plus, I like the guy who can easily pull together a presence that predominantly draws attention. Qualities like that are so rare nowadays. People tend to exert too much or too little effort to succeed on that. I think he just knows how to strike a balance between the two. But, I did not fall in love with him the first time I saw him. I guess I will never fall in love just by mere first, second or even third sight. Feelings work for me differently. I don’t know if it is typical, but I fell in love with the little things about him first before completely falling in love with him. He fills in the ga...

When he texts you after midnight, do not answer him. No matter the emoji, no matter the pleading, no matter the sweet little words he strings together to try and convince you that he’s worth your time. It doesn’t matter if he calls you ‘baby’ or ‘sweet girl’ or ‘the only one for me’ because he is texting you when the sun is down and there is no one around to hold him accountable for his actions. It doesn’t matter what he calls you because he isn’t calling you when it matters. He’s calling on you after midnight when he doesn’t really have to look you in the eye. When he texts you after midnight, do not give him a moment of your time. Leave him with a read receipt, an texting signal that will never end, an unanswered message. Just do not give him the satisfaction of hearing from you. If he wanted to hear from you, you’d be with him at midnight instead of just finding out you’re on his mind at midnight. Because girls who get texts at midnight are simply afterthoughts, and you d...

Atletico Madrid star, Lucas Hernandez has revealed one player that should win the 2018 Ballon d’Or ahead of Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona ace, Lionel Messi. Ronaldo and Messi have dominated the award in the past decade. The pair had won an incredible five awards each in that time frame, with Ronaldo equaling Messi’s tally last year. Hernandez, however, has tipped fellow teammate, Antoine Griezmann as his favourites to win this year’s Ballon d’Or ahead of Ronaldo and Messi. “Antoine deserves the Ballon d’Or. He is my favourite,” Hernandez told France Football. “He has been a key man in all of the major competitions he has played in this year. He has won almost everything and contributed everywhere. “He has been so consistent. He has been up at the top for two or three years. “He has taken another step since 2016 when he was in the final of the Euros and third in the Ballon d’Or vote with France Football.”

Several kidnap cases have been reported in Nigeria but it appears that despite the warnings from the government, some people are yet to desist from such evil acts. However, some people have been lucky to have escaped from the evil doers while others don’t live to tell the story.
