Thisday Tell:

A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday, refused to admit the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to bail. Justice Binta Nyako, in a ruling, held that since Kanu was earlier granted bail in 2017 and jumped the bail, the court must first determine the real reason he jumped the bail before applying for another one. Justice Nyako then dismissed the application for bail. The court had, on April 8, exonerated the Federal Government on the allegation that the leader of the IPOB was forcefully abducted abroad to stand his trial. Nyako, in a ruling, held that rendition for the purpose of criminal investigation is allowed. Nyako said since Kanu was on a bench warrant, the law allowed that anywhere he is sighted, he can be arrested and be brought to face his trial. “Rendition for the purpose of criminal investigation is allowed. “In the instant case, there is a bench warrant on the defendant (Kanu). Suffice to say, he is a fugitive before the court,” she said. Th...

‘Stranger Danger’ is an expression that warns people about the danger of receiving or talking with unfamiliar people. Usually, we teach our children to be wary of strangers, considering the wicked world in which we live and because of bizarre stories of strangers inflicting harm on unsuspecting Good Samaritans. In spite of ‘stranger danger,’ St. Benedict gave a rule of hospitality to his fellow monks. He says, “Every guest who comes to the monastery shall be received as if he were Christ himself.” Jim Forest, author of ‘A Saint for Our Age’ rightly says, “There is not only hospitality of the door but also of the face and heart.” Hausa people say, a smiling face is a better welcome than the offer of a mat (Shimfidar fuska tafi ta tabarma). There are several stories in scriptures where people received their blessing for their welcoming attitude and for approaching prophets and priests who were passing by. The story of Elisha and the Lady at Shunem is a good example from the Old Testament...

"Even the obstacles on my way, I predict them before those that will bring them will start to think about them. I plan for betrayal, I plan for backstabbing, I also plan for reunion & forgiveness long before they happen.I expect nothing, I expect anything, I expect everything"- Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.  My dearest Jagaban,  You know very well that I have always liked and respected you. You will also recall that a few years ago I warned you that everything that is being done to you today would eventually be done to you given the choices you made at the time.  I bear you no malice or ill-will but in view of what is happening in your political party and given the fact that your good friend, co-conspirator and collaborator, President Muhammadu Buhari, has finally thrown you under the bus and dumped you, I am constrained to write the following.  The bitter truth is that you predicted NOTHING and you saw NOTHING. The only thing you saw were your own vain delusions an...

Remember a young girl on Twitter named @PreshyA33, who took to her twitter handle dayd ago, to make a shocking revelation that got the platform into a frenzy, as she said she is 16 plus and her boyfriend is 39. She further explained her decision of getting involved with someone way older, and said she does not want to get involved with boys of her age, dubbing them "small boys". Many people had judge the young girl as to the age difference not being healthy, with her being a minor (not up to 18) and calling the relationship child abuse, with no dignity and foundation. The mixed reactions are comprehendible, given that she announced her age by herself, one would not tell by looking at her, with her physical appearance so much contradicting her age. However, that is not the case, as I've been able to come out with beautiful pictures of the girl, she really is beautiful, one, that will catch the attention of many. If she does not tell you her age, you won't believe until...

Before the arrival of Coronavirus in the shores of Nigeria I was one of those one of the very numerous those who saw everything about it to be nothing but BAD and LETHAL. In my emotional thinking, I was, like others with me, 100% right. In fact if anything could be stronger than hatred, that was what Coronavirus deserved from me. However, recent developments appear to be proving (if they have not yet proved) me (us) wrong. For a country like Nigeria it is not everything about Coronavirus that is BAD and LETHAL as we erroneously thought. Admittedly coronavirus is a deadly infectious disease that has rendered incompetent the hitherto competent governments of many countries and has claimed tens of thousands of lives the world over. As at today 26/03/2020 virtually every country in the world has been touched. Countries like China, Italy, Spain, France, etc. are already on their knees, unable to stop Covid-19. The Prince Charles of Wales is positive to coronavirus. In Spain, France, Mo...

Yoruba leaders have come for the national leader of all progressive congress (APC) for keeping mute over the security outfit known as Operation Amotekun established by the leaders in the region. The outfit that was immediately declared illegal by the federal government through the attorney general of the federation Abubakar malami was established on the 9th of January 2020. Since its inception, there's been back and forth from the south west leaders, the federal government and other important stakeholders in the country, but Tinubu who is perceived as one of the top ranked political leader in the region and the country at large has refused to speak on the matter despite so many efforts made to have him say something about the outfit.

If you wanna be successful, you MUST let go these 6 things! You can give up on the some of the things listed today, while it might take a bit longer to give up on others. If you want to be successful, it’ll be helpful to give up and let go of these things. 1. Give up your need to impress others Stop trying to impress others with your lifestyle. Be yourself, live a happy real life and people will love your realness. Trying to impress people only works against us, people sense inauthenticity and we only make ourselves look insecure and unattractive. 2.

Change is necessary for self development; both mentally and physically if you want to live a happy life. At our work places, change is crucial if you want to get recognition and promotions.

1- If you can’t fall asleep without sticking your knees out whilst lying on your side, then you’re a calm and reliable person. It’s not easy to offend you, and you’re not scared of the future. You smile even on the most miserable winter morning, and can adjust without problems to virtually any changes which occur in your life. 2- If you mainly sleep in the fetal position, then you often feel the need to be protected, understood and sympathised with. By curling up in this way, you try to cut yourself off from the problems you face in the world around you. The perfect outlet for your talents and potential would be to paint pictures, learn to dance, or write a blog. 3- If you sleep lying on your stomach with your arms and legs sticking out, then you are a leader. You are impulsive and take the initiative, and make sure there is order in both your personal and professional life. You most likely prefer to plan everything in advance and aren’t a...

A woman is devastated after her husband of six year admitted there was one part of her body he really doesn't  like. He is now asking her to have surgery to change it, leaving her feeling insecure and upset. She's  tried to tell him she's  happy the way she is and doesn't  want to alter her body, but he keeps bringing it up. The anonymous woman writes: "We've  been married for 6 years. I have smallish breasts which I am OK  with but my husband is often suggesting I have a boob enlargement. "I don't  want to go through all that pain, I have always been this size and was like this when we met and it never seemed to bother him then. "Am I right to be upset? I have tried saying I am happy the way I am and that he was happy enough when we met. Why is it now an issue? I don't  want to feel insecure but I am starting too." Posting on social media, she also says he wants to get a hair transplant as he is going bald and says he wi...

Facebook has announced a digital currency called Libra that will allow its billions of users to make financial transactions across the globe, in a move that could potentially shake up the world’s banking system. Libra is being touted as a means to connect people who do not have access to traditional banking platforms. With close to 2.4 billion people using Facebook each month, Libra could be a financial game changer, but will face close scrutiny as Facebook continues to reel from a series of privacy scandals. Libra could be a welcome lift to Facebook’s profits: analysts are suggesting Libra could be a huge moneymaker for Facebook, arriving as its growth slows. US lawmakers were quick to raise privacy concerns about the new currency. Shortly after Facebook’s announcement, the congresswoman and chair of the House Financial Services Committee, Maxine Waters, called on the companyto put a stop to the project until Congress and regulators could review it. She also called...

Relatives of the three girls separated at birth now say they will make choices that would not tear them apart, as they seek closure to a saga that has caused them sleepless nights. But they still have to live with the reality printed in black and white on a DNA test result document, which showed that two girls were twins and their third “sibling” not a blood relative. The search for truth has come at a cost. For starters, the three girls, who are in Form Four, will not sit their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations this year. Cognizant of how negatively the events of the past few months have disrupted their studies, the girls will report to their respective schools this week but return to Form Three. The girls will continue living in the homes where they were brought up in Kitale and Kangemi, but they will be free to visit their biological mothers any time. The family members also ditched plans to sue Kakamega County Teaching and Referral Hospital, where...
