mince words when he called his opposition,
President Muhammadu Buhari.
Duncan Mighty openly blasted President
Buhari, calling him a ‘semi-illiterate’ among
other names. See a screenshot of his 2015

Looks like Duncan Mighty has eaten the
humble pie as he has written an open letter
to the president, asking for the chance to
put some things right in his administration.
Read what he wrote on his Instagram page
below:
“If u love and want a good Nigeria please
don’t just read and like but also share until it
gets to him. We can make Nigeria great Again
God bless Nigeria.
LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT AND THE
COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARM FORCES
OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
GEN. MUHAMMADU BUHARI
Dear Mr President,
My Name is DUNCAN MIGHTY a successful
musician who has always exported the good
massages, RHYTHM and vibes of Nigerian
IKWERRE PORT HARCOURT content to the
global world. i am also a successful
entrepreneur /business man with remarkable
achievements in Niger Delta.
Today I am the current youth/ Brand
ambassador for FORUM OF COALITION OF
SOUTH-SOUTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
INDUSTRY MINES AND AGRICULTURE, and
also the Niger Delta Entertainment Youth
President
My office existence is to channel the minds of
the youth in Niger Delta and South- South in
Diaspora to embrace there Gods given talents
for a greater Nigeria.
Your Excellency Mr President, please I want u
to give me the opportunity to assist your
Government in carrying out youth
empowerment project in Niger Delta as to
enable some of our eligible youths shun social
vises, cultism and face their God’s given talent
for a greater Nigeria of Tomorrow.
Mr President you spoke so much about youth
empowerment but i think one of the best ways
to achieve that is through sports, and talent
capacity building then we have a long way to
go. These are not good times for Nigerian
sports at all. With the Super Eagles failing to
qualify for the 2017 African Cup of Nations
and the lack of stability in the team – constant
change of coach and captain as well as the
not too impressive performance of different
sporting teams representing the country at
different global events in recent times, it is
obvious that the year 2016 has not started
well for Nigerian sports at all. The situation
has been compounded by the refusal or
inability of the National Sports Commission to
make funds available to the country’s sporting
contingents to different competitions in recent
times. This may well be a sign of austere
times.

It is no longer news that the Federal
Government has been finding it difficult to
navigate through the country’s economic woes
which have been fueled by the free fall in the
global price of oil and worsening exchange
rate. What may be news is that the effect of
these challenges on sports is huge. Recently,
the Nigerian Table Tennis team had to sponsor
itself to a major tournament in Malaysia
because the Nigerian Tables Tennis Federation
and the NSC said there was no money to
sponsor the team.While Segun Toriola,
Haruna Quadri and others paid from their
pockets, Funke Oshonaike angrily withdrew
from the tournament. There is no better
evidence to prove that the country has been
on auto pilot for some months now. This sort
of challenge reminds one of our recent past
where sports was given maximum attention by
a serious government which was committed to
youth empowerment and national integration.
The London Olympics of 2012 was this
disgraceful outing for Team Nigeria. After a
few days of the event, the then Minister of
Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi had to fly to to
London where he gave touching speech at the
camp of the athletes. The athletes were
inspired by his moving speech and they
promised to up their game. Unfortunately, the
entire Team Nigeria still came home without a
single medal. That was a major scandal the
country could not stomach at all. Angered by
this outcome, the Federal Government
summoned a major conference of all sports
stakeholders from across the country and
beyond. Government wanted to hear from
everyone who mattered.
Hundreds of stakeholders gathered at the State
House Banquet Hall (now Conference Centre)
to dialogue with the President. Unlike other
leaders who will just attend the opening
ceremony of such event, make a fantastic
speech and leave, The Federal Government
dedicated a whole day to the summit and
dialogued with the stakeholders for over 7
hours. asked questions, sought clarifications
and demonstrated to everyone present on that
day the willingness and political will to
implement all the decisions and
recommendations put forward.

The Federal government was told to take all
sporting issues personNigeria”
rant
administrators and coaches direct access to
the Presidency. The Federal Government was
told to release funds to beef up infrastructure
for training and ensure early preparation for all
sporting tournaments as well as provision of
world class training camps and facilities. Most
importantly, the Government was told to re-
introduce the reward system and ensure
athletes are rewarded, celebrated and
recognized for any achievements recorded in
sports in order to encourage others and give
them the motivation that Nigeria is worth dying
for. The discussants agreed that the
Presidential handshake policy introduced by
former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2000
with the Super Falcons team which impressed
at the World Cup in that year, had gone a long
way to dampen the morale of athletes across
all sports in the country.
The Federal Government implemented all these
recommendations religiously and within
months, our athletes started bringing home
trophies and medals from across Africa and
beyond. Blessing Okagbare was among the
athletes that made the country proud. She won
silver and bronze medals World Athletic
Championships in Moscow. She won silver
medal in the long jump and came third in the
women’s 200 metres race. The Federal
Government rewarded Blessing Okagbare and
her coach with cash gifts and national
honor. The Government also held a special
dinner for both Falconets and U-17 male
football sides which both conquered the
continent in their respective categories. That
same U-17 side also conquered the world in
far away Dubai. Nigeria won the African Cup of
Nations for the first time in 19 years in South
Africa in February, 2013. Nigeria ended up
with 11 gold, 11 silver and 14 bronze medals
at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow,
finishing 8th in the overall ranking.
Federal government did not fail to extend the
same gesture to all the individuals and teams
who made the country proud in different
sporting competitions. Former England
international, Ambassador John Fashanu did
not mince words when he granted an
interview to newsmen and praised
extraordinary feat in sports.

It is on record that the Super Eagles won
Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in South Africa
under this administration. The Super Eagles
equaled the best record Nigeria ever had at the
World Cup in Brazil. The Nations U-17 team
won FIFA U-17 World Cup in UAE. The female
U-20 team won silver in their own World Cup.
Nigeria had the best performance at the
Commonwealth Games and the World Athletics
Championship. I cannot mention the whole
achievements because they are many.

For the third consecutive day, the Nigerian
currency remained firm against the dollar on
the parallel market.
The naira which had been on a free fall
against the dollar in previous weeks,
strengthened against the dollar this week,
standing at an appreciable N320/dollar for
the third consecutive day.

Black market sellers
revealed that the recent trips by President
Muhammadu Buhari, coupled with the prices
of crude oil, which rose to a four-month high
on Tuesday, April 12, may have contributed
to the latest developments.
NAIJ.com’s daily exchange monitor.
And as one of our reliable sources told us
on Tuesday, the naira exchange rate may
not necessarily appreciate on the black
market, but there are chances it will not fall
against the American currency this week.
“Since Monday, we have been selling
between N320 and N319/dollar and that is
the way it has been everywhere in the
country all week.
“It is a positive sign that better things are
underway for us this week, perhaps this
trend can follow us into the new week and
get better in the coming weeks that we have
this new month,” our impeccable source
revealed.

WARNING: 10 Types Of Women You Should Never Marry



WARNING: 10 Types Of Women You Should Never Marry

martins 8 months ago

While we can all agree that nobody is perfect, there are actually a few things that would adversely affect a relationship if a man chooses to partner with a woman with some not-so-great attributes.

Amsementbugs.blogspot.com
presents you with the 10 kinds of woman a man should think twice about making a wife.


1. The Bitter Woman: You know that woman that always seems to be angry at the menfolk all the time? Perhaps she has had her heart broken one too many times, but this woman is always bashing on men and talking about how they are no-good or useless. A man might not want to settle down with someone so bitter as it is guaranteed that when the opportunity arises, she would hurl hurtful insults and intense, hateful words his way due to all her unresolved anger.

2. The Selfish Woman: If you want a happy home and a partner that wants your happiness as well as hers, then you should steer clear of the selfish woman. A woman who is determined to make sure she always comes first would not be able to build a cheerful and loving home with you.

3. The Materialistic Woman: A woman obsessed with material things would certainly not make the best wife. If all she cares about are material possession over family, faith and spiritual fulfillment, then she will not make the best partner.

4. The Flirty Woman: Are you attracted to that woman that always seems to flirt with one person or another? She flirts like a butterfly from one man to another and makes all men feel like she is interested in them. Well, beware, because a habit like that might be hard to break after marriage and you would not want to start hearing that your wife has had flirty conversations with all the men in the neighbourhood.

5. The Party Freak: She is invited to every party and attends them all. She is always dressed in the most flashy clothes and is the ultimate party girl. She lives for the next big gathering and cannot say no to an invitation. Such woman might not be the type to settle down in a marriage.

6. The Spoilt-Brat: A woman who grew up having everything handed to her and has never had the experience of actually working for something is unlikely to make the best wife. No matter how much you might be willing to provide her with the kind of lifestyle she grew up with, remember, marriage comes with kids and kids require sacrifice. If she has never had to work or make sacrifices for anything in her life, it is unlikely that she would start now.

7. The Attention Seeker: While some women naturally like attention, when it becomes an obsession, then it is not a good idea. A good husband makes sure he has time for his wife, but this cannot happen 100percent of the time so a good wife should understand that.

8. The Gossip: Does she always seem to never mind her own business? Is she always focused on what someone else is doing or how someone else is living their life? Then you do not need this kind of woman as a wife. A man needs someone that would build a home with him and this requires some focus on her own plans and her own life. If she is too busy minding someone else’s business, then you are fighting a losing battle.

9. The Commitment-Phobe: A woman who finds it difficult to commit to anything (school, jobs, family, friendship, etc) would also not be able to commit to a marriage. If she seems to lose interest in everything quickly and is always looking for the next thing to jump into, then you would have a hard time keeping her focused in her marriage.

10. The Disrespectful Woman: If she seems to always be disrespectful and rude (even if it is to people she considers beneath her standards) then you need to think twice about marrying her. Respect for a fellow human being is a very important attribute in who we choose to spend the rest of our lives with so it is definitely not something that should be taken lightly.

SERIAL BRIDE HAD EIGHT HUSBANDS AT A TIME



SERIAL BRIDE HAD 8 HUSBANDS AT SAME TIME

By Kirstan Conley, Sophia Rosenbaum and Bruce Golding

13 January 2016
Modal Trigger Serial bride had 8 husbands at same time

A busty Bronx woman went on a decade-long bridal binge — and was married to as many as eight men at once, court papers revealed on Thursday.

Liana Barrientos turned walking down the aisle into an Olympic sport, getting hitched 10 times since 1999, including one stretch in 2002 when she said “I do” five times.

The 38-year-old blonde had collected six husbands before the first one filed for divorce in 2002. She added three more before the second one dumped her in 2003.

Prosecutors haven’t said why Barrientos is so marriage-mad.

“The motive was definitely not love,” one source said.

Her most recent nuptials came on March 4, 2010.

Barrientos is accused of falsifying official records. She allegedly claimed in documents for her 2010 wedding that she had never been married before.

And she told an investigator from the Bronx District Attorney’s Office that her exchange of vows with a man named Salle Keita “was her first and only marriage,” court papers charge.

Barrientos also allegedly submitted different variations of her name in marriage papers, omitting or abbreviating her middle name or changing spellings.

She was busted Oct. 1 on two felony counts of offering a false instrument for filing. She is due back in court Friday.

Barrientos’ apparent fondness for marriage runs counter to sentiments she expressed on Twitter.

A Bronx DA spokeswoman declined to say if other charges, such as bigamy, would be filed, or if any of her hubbies would be charged.

In addition to those men, Barrientos has two baby daddies. One of them, Carlos Garcia, kicked her out of his Bronx apartment a few weeks ago, the building’s super said.

“She was arrested . . . and he doesn’t want her back,” Ruben George told The Post. “They have a kid together. She has one with him and one with somebody else.”

Garcia, whose daughter with Barrientos is about 4 months old, didn’t answer a knock on his door.

Barrientos’ lawyer, Chris Wright, declined to comment.
