President GEJ replies Soludo over “missing N30 trillion” Claim

President Goodluck Jonathan seized the opportunity of an interview with a Nigerian newspaper last week to hit back at a former Central Bank governor, Charles Soludo, who accused his government of failing to account for at least N30 trillion, and allowing corruption to flourish.

Mr. Jonathan dismissed Mr. Soludo’s claim as politically-motivated, and ridiculed his academic standing, saying it was illogical for that sum to be “stolen” as his government had not generated that much in all its years in power.

In an elaborate article on the state of the Nigerian economy mid-January, Mr. Soludo had tackled Nigeria’s finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, over her management style and inability to steer the nation aright amid an oil crisis.

Read About The First Nigerian Woman To BUY A CAR

Madam Efunroye Tinubu was the first Nigerian woman to buy a car, she was also the first Iyalode of the Egba clan.

She was born around 1805 in Abeokuta, Nigeria and was once a slave trader who traded with Europeans.

Madame Tinubu built a financial empire through arms and salt trade. She married Adele, an exiled oba of Lagos years after the death of her first husband. She gained economic and political power through the marriage and was able to build a business empire through the trade of salt and tobacco from Europe for slaves from Abeokuta.

In 1835, her husband Adele returned to his throne but died two years later making her a widow for the second time. She then helped install Adele’s son, Oluwole as the new king and married his military advisor.

Barca Manager Luis Enrique says his Team deserved the defeat to Malaga

Manager Luis Enrique said the defeat was deserved after watching FC Barcelona crash to a shock 0-1 loss at home to Malaga here.

"It was not our day and that means that what happened, happened," he said Saturday, reported Xinhua. Enrique used the defeat to explain that at times a good performance from Barca's rivals can be as decisive as their attacking play.

"Games like this are good to make you realise that and the defeat is deserved."

The measure of surprise in the result is that Malaga had lost in their last 12 visits to Camp Nou but the effect of the defeat is that Barca failed to leapfrog Real Madrid at the top of La Liga standings and if Madrid were to register an away win against Elche Sunday, Barca would slip to four points behind and would need favours from other sides in order to be able to win the title.

HELP! My Husband Is My Boyfriend On Facebook, Whatsapp & BBM And He Does Not Know It!

This is a letter sent to NaijaHousewife, MP Fam, she is in need of a great help, what will you advise this woman to do? Please do drop your comment after reading below:

Dear NHW, 

I’m actually rolling on the floor laughing. I am having a swell time. 

I have been married to my hubby for 8 years and we are blessed with 4 boys which I had vaginally. After my last boy, my marriage went from bad to worse, as in, getting my hubby’s attention over the years has been very difficult. To have sex with him is even on ‘appointment’ basis. The rate at which my marriage was going, I knew that if I didn’t do something about it, it would move from worse to worst. 

I sought the advice of one of my very close friends and she told me what to do. As funny as this sounds, it was working very well and I don’t want what I am doing to end.

Just as we have the most safest place to visit in the World, there is also a list of countries you have to be very careful when you visit especially to ladies who travel alone. The list was compiled by Mailonline Explorer Liz Borod Wright  and it is to advise women who travel solo. According to the list the most dangerous places to travel to as a woman in Africa are South Africa, Egypt, Morroco and Kenya.

She continue that, 'Be wary of posting real-time updates on social media about where are you in case someone is paying a little too close attention. It's safer to post that awesome photo to Instagram when you're on to the next destination, especially if you plan to geo-tag it. 'And while the instinct is to live-tweet your trip, it may be best to rave (or rant) about your accommodations after you have checked out.'
