"My experience in the hands of abductors" - Human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome recounts




The human rights lawyer (pictured above with his wife after his release) who said he will never forget his experience in the hands of his abductors, narrated his ordeal to journalists in his home in Lagos.

Ozekhome, who had grown a beard, said he was driven on a rough road for about four hours to a jungle far removed from civilisation blindfolded, after he was captured close to Benin City about 3pm on August 23, 2013.

According to Ozekhome, the abductors took him to an uncompleted building in the bush while a colony of mosquitos descended and fed on him and other hostages like barbeque in the camp.

Dearest Ọmọ Oódua Readers: Where's the best place to meet single, available men in Lagos?




Is it possible to ask your male readers the very best places and ways to meet up single available men? I last went on a good date like 4 years back & after time for Nigeria from my postgrad it's been a significant struggle dealing with meet handsome, inspiring cool guys. Men who like outdoor sports, hiking & camping, the beach swimming or building their particular kitchen cabinets. I work in the middle of an economic and IT hub on the island with numerous banks and telecom offices around, I see some attractive guys occasionally when I get out to lunch but that's where it ends. With most of my friends not in the united kingdom and others married & busy making use of their families, having a girls night out is like pulling tooth from the not many available female friends I have left. I have lately been getting the wrong attention from men I don't like although I tried keeping them as platonic friends which never computes, till I realized I haven't being proactive in choosing the men that approach me and yet I keep complaining and I do want to change all that. Please help

"We don't own a private jet yet, but hope to buy one in the future' - PSquare




When asked by Vanguard if the rumour that they bought a private jet was true, P-Square replied:
"There was nothing like that. I guess because it was included in our list that whenever we are going for a specific show,  the organsiers must provide us with a private jet. We had a deal with a private jet company which always hire their private jet to us whenever we are in need of it. It’s like, we have a private jet at our disposal. I remember, I once tweeted that a private jet has been included in our list.  That was how people started speculating that Psquare has bought a private jet. But we always  travel with the jet all the time.
Do they plan to buy a private jet someday? 
To be honest with you, the way things are going, we are planning to buy one. And it’s not because of the cost implication of hiring a private jet, but the fact that we want to meet up with our concerts.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Is It Okay To Smack Your Child, Or Is It Barbaric?



Parenting in Nigeria in those days was accompanied with smacking as parents believed it helps instill discipline in children. As far as they were concerned, it worked like magic as the kind of well-mannered kids they parented made them proud and confident of their parenting methods.
I can’t forget how many knocks I received from my Dad while he taught me arithmetic. It took me back when my heart wondered when he tutored me after school. It worked I guess…especially the part where failure I was told came with beating; I made sure I never failed throughout primary school. We were not really on a tight leash in Secondary school, but whatever I learnt in primary school helped me in my quest for success ever since.
