“Mobilization to site by the contractors is expected to commence within 90 days. What this means is that before the end of the lifespan of this administration, we would have been able to bequeath to Nigerians the airports of their dreams", she said.

As a woman dating or marrying a younger man is pretty much a taboo in our culture , but celebrities like Darey Art Alade (whose wife Deola is 8 years older, they’ve been married 5 years and have 2 Children) and Peter Okoye of P-Square (whose girlfriend Lola Omotayo is about 6 years older, they’ve been together 6 years and they have a son and another on the way) have broken with tradition and embraced a trend which was been attributed to
I’ve asked my friends, and roughly 90percent say they would never entertain the thought of a younger guy (Naija girls) but it seems the men are more open (as long as the age difference isn’t more than 2 years and she doesn’t look older…LOL). I have a friend who is being actively pursued by a guy 2 years younger, this man treats her better than any of her exes ever have but she says she’s not going there cos of the age thing.
In our society it’s perfectly okay for a man to be with a woman decades younger, but when the roles are reversed the woman is called desperate and the man must be with her for her money.
So here’s what I want to know Ladies are you open to dating/marrying a younger man? what’s your age limit?
And this goes for the men to…would you date/marry an older woman? And what’s your age limit?

LWKMD!! How Actress Jennifer Eliogu Was Disgraced In Abuja
Nollywood actress Jennifer Eliogu reportedly had communication problems with an official of National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) in Abuja.
A source said Jennifer stormed the office of NFVCB, Wuse 2, Abuja to seek favour from one of the top guns of the movies’ gate-keepers when the incident took place.
Interestingly, Jennifer was said to have later introduced herself properly, after she had been disgraced, with her fake accent.
The source further revealed that it was written all over her face that she had been well humiliated by the public disgrace.
Jennifer is a popular actress and the boss of Initiative for Development, Empowerment and Absolute Stability (IDEAS), a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).

“She came into the office feeling like she owned the world. She buried her head in shame when one of the top shots in the office said to her ‘I don’t know you’. This was after she had made people feel she was a superstar,” said the website source.

Patience Jonathan Ruptured Appendix Was From A Tummy Tuck Surgery
“We have warned the First Lady to be weary of her”…friends and family cry out. Just like the way Hajia Bola Shagaya and Senator Daisy Danjuma advised the late Stella Obasanjo to go for tummy tuck many years ago, Hajia Bola who is fondly called ‘AGIP’ {Any Government In Power}, we gathered was the one who advised Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan to go for Cosmetic surgery.
According to the source, “The First Lady came down with food poisoning in Dubai where she had gone on a secret mission to explore undergoing some procedure”. “The nature of the procedure remains a mystery, but a source at the Presidency said he knew that Mrs. Jonathan close friend, Bola Shagaya, had been persuading her to see a Lebanon-based cosmetic surgeon”. The source added that the First Lady was interested in enhancing her looks.
Also, a source in Abuja said she suspected that Mrs. Jonathan might have undergone a procedure in Dubai from which she got an infection. Some of the First Lady’s friends confided in us that they have warned her to be very careful with Hajia Bola Shagaya because of her past records of betraying her friends.
.
In Nigeria today, one woman whose image looms large within the society is Hajia Bola Shagaya, the popular businesswoman and billionaire. This is because she is regarded as the most powerful woman within the corridors of power. Hajia Bola earns this title because she is regarded as the closest person to the wife of the President, Dame Patience Jonathan. Although, the two women have been close for many years, there is so much fear that their friendship may not stand the test of time.
And this has given rise to the speculations flying around that Patience may be forced to dump Hajia Bola before she is led astray. Moreover, some concerned family friends of the President are working on getting Jonathan to warn his wife to steer clear of Hajia Shagaya be severing her relationship with her. The concern is borne out of the fear that Hajia Shagaya lacks any sense of loyalty when it comes to the issue of friendship. And this group of family friends cited manyinstances to buttress their argument.
According to the story going around, Hajia Shagaya is in the habit of romancing any government that rules at anytime. She patronises people within the corridor of power and solicits for contracts and other patronages. This habits dates back to the late 80’s, during the time former President Ibrahim Babangida presided over the affairs of the country. It was gathered that Bola Shagaya enjoyed a very close friendship with the Babangida family. She was so close to the family that she had unhindered access to them, especially to late Hajia Maryam.
Not only that, Hajia Bola also engaged in several business deals, on behalf of the family. Her son, Sherrif and Aminu Babangida who were once best of friends ran a joint oil servicing company in Abuja. But the moment Maryam took ill, Bola Shagaya drifted away from the family. Some sources claimed that the Babangida children had accused the Ilorin born lady of spreading the news of their mother’s illness and other incidents that were happening in the family during that period.
The Babangida children were so angry with Bola Shagaya that they stayed away from her 50th birthday. However, their father, who was in Abuja for a social function attended the event and stayed for just 30 minutes.
But after Maryam died in December 2009, Hajia Shagaya practically moved into the Babangida family home in Minna and mourned with the family for the first few days.
But hardly had the 40 days mourning period ended than she began to attend parties again. The strain in the relationship between Hajia Bola and the Babangida became more noticeable when her first son, Sherrif got married last year. But for Aminu and Halima, who were in the couple’s train, other members of the Babangida family stayed away from the wedding. One of the worst hit of Hajia Shagaya’s act of betrayal to the Babangida family is Aishat Shinkafi, the first child of IBB and Maryam. She is still dazed by the fact that Hajia Shagaya could turn around and treat her family with disdain, considering the huge resources her parents invested into her life.
Aside from the Babangidas, the family of the late Stella Obasanjo is reported to be holding grudge against Bola Shagaya. It was gathered that the businesswoman was very close to Stella and acted as fronts for her in most of their business dealings. Moreover, Shagaya was always in Stella Obasanjo’s entourage and she junketed the globe with her, helping her to buy expensive diamonds in Italy, Dubai and Lebanon. It was gathered that when some forces within Obasanjo moved to curtail the friendship between Stella and Shagaya, the late first lady stood firmly against such move. But the moment she died, Hajia Shagaya was reported to have extended a hand of friendship to Obasanjo. But this was nipped in the bud by the powerful forces within Aso-Rock.
In 2007, after the late President Umar Yar’Adua came into power, Hajia Shagaya shifted camp and became a close friend to his wife, Hajia Turai. It was gathered that she even hosted a series of parties on her behalf. And she was always quick to flaunt her closeness with Turai. But Hajia Shagaya was shocked to discover that Turai was not an easy nut to crack. She became more irritated when she noticed that the former first lady was not interested in assisting or entertaining any patronage from anyone. Moreover, the likes of Toyin Fagbayi, who was the closest person to Turai at that time, cut off and blocked Hajia Shagaya’s chances of enjoying contract patronages from Turai.
It didn’t then come as a surprise to most people when Goodluck Jonathan assumed the position of power, and Hajia Shagaya emerged as a close ally of his wife. Ever since the tide changed in favour of the Jonathan, Hajia Shagaya has become a permanent item in their family. It is gathered that she acts a front for the first lady and they do many business deals together.
Some sources disclose that Hajia Shagaya is presently working against the nomination of Deziani Allison Madueke, the former Minister of Petroleum, as a minister. This is because Madueke is believed to have frustrated her bids for oil deals, when she discovered that Hajia Shagaya was going out of her way to get close to President Jonathan.

21 Trashy Things Nigerian Women Do To Get Husbands
Tired of waiting for your dream man? Tired of changing boyfriends like underwear? Tired of begging God to upgrade you? Tired of waiting for your boyfriend to propose? Tired of all the heartbreaks and betrayal? Tired of men chopping you for free? Tire no more… Statistics show that only 3% of single women of marriageable age in Nigeria are undisturbed by their lack of a spouse! The other 97% would do just about anything to become Mrs somebody.
And when I say anything, I mean it… Here are 21 unorthodox things ‘classy’ Nigerian women have done in their quest to bag a husband! Some are bizzare, some are skanky and some are downright sad…but if you’re willing to try anything and getting a husband is the only activity left on your bucket list, you might wanna try a few! (Men beware) #Not for the fainthearted…
In no particular order:
1. Snatching a friend or relation’s man: All is fair in love and war! Rumour has it that women have resorted to locking their phones, hiding their men and coding their gist from so-called friends cos it’s a jungle out there…
2. Re-inventing themselves: Pretence is the order of the day. No man wants to tame the shrew or teach the inexperienced or make an honest woman out of a dishonest one so once marriage is desired, women package themselves in pseudo, ready-made, easy-to-use, highly desirable packages. After marriage, what you see is what you get! #stepfordwifemode
3. Trapping him with pregnancy: This used to be the old school method of getting a man to propose. From skipping the pill to seducing the man or getting him drunk when she was ovulating, a woman usually knew she had the man where she wanted him once she missed her period even if there was no commitment. Now the guys are saying YES to baby mamas and YES to child support. Are the girls deterred? NO! The girls have stepped up their game by involving the parents and you know parents don’t like scandals…
4. Praying&Fasting:This would presumably be an honourable means of obtaining a husband but sometimes the prayers are offered up to deities other than God& other times it becomes a song permanently on repeat…
5. Taking his photograph to Cele church for a prophetess to pray over or a powerful Alfa. Heard it works like a charm…
6. Taking his sperm, hair or personal effects to Baba. Guys disposing of your condoms yourself is not such a bad idea…
7. Outright Jazz! My friends recently gisted me ’bout how a tied up, live pigeon had been discovered in a friend’s sister-in-law’s box. The woman confessed to using jazz and said she hadn’t been sure if the guy would actually propose so she took the necessary precaution…
8. Putting love potion in his food! This is classic and timeless but shouldn’t it be called a ‘compelling’ potion? Because in this case, love na by force!
9. Saying YES to a man you despise! A woman has two classes of men usually on her case. The ‘correct’ guys and the ‘disgos’. The disgos usually end up as magas or rebounds but many a woman has shocked a despondent toaster with a sudden ‘Yes’ and men have agreed that truly there is nothing God cannot do!
10. Proposing to a guy! Yes it does happen… (Who wears the engagement ring?)
11. Toasting a man’s family so they make the decision for him! A friend complained that a girl he detested had over the months gotten close to his family. Lavishing on them, cooking for them and basically being their ‘go-to’ girl and now his mum had put her foot down that he had to break up with his girlfriend and marry little-miss-went-home-to-mama depending on how much power the family wields, their word may be final…
12. Asking daddy to get you a husband! If daddy’s a big shot, arranging a husband for you is usually as easy as pie and some men would sell their souls for a large chunk of daddy’s money so both parties are happy…
13. Being your man’s maga! Some women believe that when you finally get a man to be interested in you, spoiling him and overlooking his every fault would get you into a white gown faster than an okada chased by LASTMA! Some men don’t mind a woman who houses them, clothes them, feeds them, gives ‘em pocket money, never gets upset with them even when they misbehave and cleans up after them with little or no contribution from them… Living the dream???
14. Giving him unlimited freedom as long as he proposes: “Tell me I’m number one baby, tell me I’m the future mother of your kids and not Amina, Bisi or Ngozi!” Women used to wanna be the one AND ONLY in their man’s life, now being the number one is good enough…
15. Polishing up a low class, barely educated brother in exchange for a ring! The deal is simple, you send your cleaner, gateman or driver to night school, you give him language lessons, you take him to buy some new clothes and deodorant and teach him to call you honey instead of madam and in exchange, he gets to marry you, share an expensive bedroom and never worry about his bills ever again!
16. Revamping yourself: Change your ward-robe, lose 20kg, buy a truckload of brazilian hair, study the karma-sutra, do a vaginoplasty and change the age on your birth-certificate to read 22. Botox, plastic surgery, a compulsory gym membership and ‘body magic’ also indicated!
17. Becoming a worker in church! Rumour has it that men go to church to marry, the same rumour also reveals that ‘Greeters’, ‘Ushers’ and ‘Lead Soloists’ have the best exposure…praise the Lord!
18. Moving to a new town or part of town so that you are the ‘new girl’. This always peaks the men’s interest and at the same time you get to run away from your past and the ‘old maid’ labels! Combine this with number 16 above and ooh la la!
19. Going for ‘deliverance’ from a spirit husband and sowing a big ‘marriage’ seed in church! Giving your possessions to the poor, giving a sacrificial offering or just giving one thing to God that would make you weep…
20. Abandoning your hopes, dreams and ambitions! I’ve heard people say that women looking for a prince charming live unrealistic dreams, virgins are old-school, overly educated women are proud, rich women are not submissive, ambitious women are conceited, women with demanding jobs won’t have time for their families, women who want a faithful man are deluded and women who don’t get pregnant before wedlock have something wrong with their plumbing! So forsake the masters, don’t even dream of a PhD, quit your job, give away all your money and surely a husband will come… And if all else fails…
21. Marry a married man! He could be your friend’s husband, your sister’s husband, your cousin’s husband, your colleague’s husband, even your mother’s husband if you like! Can you blame these women? The average guy has commitment phobia or is out to play till he is all spent before he settles down or is waiting to make his first ’5 million’ before saying ‘I do’. Even a man with no future ambition or class, much less finances still knows he could have his pick of the best women out there, once he announces he is looking to settle! The last census showed a female-dominated demographic with more women per eligible bachelor. Family and society constantly put the woman in hot water making her personal successes irrelevant till she bags a
And when I say anything, I mean it… Here are 21 unorthodox things ‘classy’ Nigerian women have done in their quest to bag a husband!

Some men don’t mind a woman who houses them, clothes them, feeds them, gives ‘em pocket money, never gets upset with them even when they misbehave and cleans up after them with little or no contribution from them… Living the dream???
14. Giving him unlimited freedom as long as he proposes: “Tell me I’m number one baby, tell me I’m the future mother of your kids and not Amina, Bisi or Ngozi!” Women used to wanna be the one AND ONLY in their man’s life, now being the number one is good enough…
15. Polishing up a low class, barely educated brother in exchange for a ring! The deal is simple, you send your cleaner, gateman or driver to night school, you give him language lessons, you take him to buy some new clothes and deodorant and teach him to call you honey instead of madam and in exchange, he gets to marry you, share an expensive bedroom and never worry about his bills ever again!
16. Revamping yourself: Change your ward-robe, lose 20kg, buy a truckload of brazilian hair, study the karma-sutra, do a vaginoplasty and change the age on your birth-certificate to read 22. Botox, plastic surgery, a compulsory gym membership and ‘body magic’ also indicated!
17. Becoming a worker in church! Rumour has it that men go to church to marry, the same rumour also reveals that ‘Greeters’, ‘Ushers’ and ‘Lead Soloists’ have the best exposure…praise the Lord!

19. Going for ‘deliverance’ from a spirit husband and sowing a big ‘marriage’ seed in church! Giving your possessions to the poor, giving a sacrificial offering or just giving one thing to God that would make you weep…
20. Abandoning your hopes, dreams and ambitions! I’ve heard people say that women looking for a prince charming live unrealistic dreams, virgins are old-school, overly educated women are proud, rich women are not submissive, ambitious women are conceited, women with demanding jobs won’t have time for their families, women who want a faithful man are deluded and women who don’t get pregnant before wedlock have something wrong with their plumbing! So forsake the masters, don’t even dream of a PhD, quit your job, give away all your money and surely a husband will come… And if all else fails…
21. Marry a married man! He could be your friend’s husband, your sister’s husband, your cousin’s husband, your colleague’s husband, even your mother’s husband if you like! Can you blame these women? The average guy has commitment phobia or is out to play till he is all spent before he settles down or is waiting to make his first ’5 million’ before saying ‘I do’. Even a man with no future ambition or class, much less finances still knows he could have his pick of the best women out there, once he announces he is looking to settle!
