Opposition Leaders Been Banned In Gabon From Leaving The Country
Just of recent, on Sunday Gabon announced a ban on opposition leaders, including former top African Union official Jean Ping, from leaving the country in what it said was a "temporary, administrative measure".
Read More »
"This measure follows inflammatory comments by Jean Ping on August 18 when he called for public disorder, rebellion and insurrection," interior ministry spokesman Jean-Eric Nziengui Mangala said.
Ping, a 74-year-old career diplomat, was narrowly defeated by incumbent Ali Bongo in Gabon's August presidential election and accused the administration of electoral fraud.
A number of demonstrations have been held in support of Ping in cities around the country, leading to numerous arrests and clashes with police in the capital and the seaport of Port-Gentil.
On August 18, Ping called on the Gabonese "to rise up as one to solemnly mark (his) rise to power".
Mangala said the "temporary administrative measure" is aimed at leaders of political parties and others at the heart of the Coalition for the New Republic (CNR), which supports Ping.
The directive has affected former prime minister Casimir Oye Mba, who was scheduled to leave for France on Friday.
"At the airport, the police told me I couldn't leave and that they were only following orders," he said, adding that it was the third time that such a measure has prevented him from leaving Gabon.

Taylor Swift Spotted As The Bridesmaid At Friend's Wedding (See Photos)
Taylor Swift was seen at her best friend Abigail Anderson's wedding on Saturday. That's the same Abigail who she went to high school with and wrote the 2009 hit, Fifteen, about.
The 27-year-old looked stunning in a halter maroon gown with an A-line bottom as she tended to her pretty blonde friend at the splashy nuptials in Martha's Vineyard, a Massachusetts island that sits in the Atlantic Ocean just south of Cape Cod.
The pop star - who just released her revenge song Look What You Made Me Do earlier this week - seemed to keep her head down as she stayed behind the bride while they walked into a church.
Taylor wore her medium-length blonde hair down and in soft curls. She also had long bangs and matched her wine-colored lip to match her floor-length dress and had on flattering dark eye makeup. See full photo below..

A statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said Adelusi was relieved of his duty over “dereliction of duty.”
The statement, which was announced on the state-owned radio station, did not explain the specific offence committed by Adelusi.
But a source in the Governor’s Office said Adelusi was sacked because he failed to organise adequate media coverage for the Eid prayer in Ado Ekiti, which the governor attended on Friday.

''Its All Because She Is Better Than Nigerian Ladies'' - Nigerian Man Who Married Older American Woman Reveals Reason
US-based Muiz Adebiyi is married to an older American, Susan Smith. He talks about the over two-year-old marriage and why he took the decision to marry an older partner.
I am attracted to her because she is very cool, loving, understanding and protective. She has a better behaviour than slay mamas.
We had known each other for two years before we decided to get married three years after.
There were issues when we first declared our intentions to get married but our family members later understood that age is just a number and that love does not have limit. We are quite in love and happy with ourselves.
We both apologise when there are disagreements. But she does that first and more than I do because she is a wise wife who knows that the husband is the head of the house. She knows what marriage means.
I know that most people will think that I married her for the green card but I do not care because I was already a US citizen and that’s not from her.
We celebrate our wedding anniversary the same way godly people do theirs. We always go to the mall, do shopping and visit the pool side.
My wife is far better than Nigerian ladies in every positive way. She is a wife material.

Oyo State Gov, Abiola Ajimobi Says LAUTECH Has 99 Bank Accounts
Oyo State Governor, Sen Abiola Ajimobi, on Saturday said Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho,had 99 bank accounts.
Read More »
Ajimobi also added that the institution’s school fees might be reviewed to make it self sustaining.
The governor disclosed this on Saturday in Ibadan, while featuring on a programme, ‘Saturday Special,’ aired on the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Ajimobi said since he assumed office in 2011, his administration had paid N22bn to the institution.
He described the amount being paid as school fees in LAUTECH as “abysmal.”
“The default in the payment of subvention and salaries was as a result of economic downturn. When we came on board, we reduced the school fee to N65,000.
“There are secondary schools that charge between N150,000 and N200,000, while some universities charge between N500,000 and N2m. To date, we have heavily subsidised LAUTECH.
Imagine, the institution has 99 accounts and some could not be traced,” he said.
The governor added that the government had taken steps to resolve the crisis in the university, among which was the auditing of its account to determine its viability to be
self-sustaining.
He disclosed that the government had constituted the institution’s governing council which would submit its report after the holiday.
He promised that the crisis in the university would soon be over and the institution would be given a take-off grant for three months

According to the YBNL boss, he was lucky to have fulfilled his own dream despite dropping out of school, but they might not be that lucky. He however assured that, if only his parents were able to pay his school fees back then, he would have stayed to be a graduate today.
While advising youths, Olamide said;
“I was lucky to achieve my dreams despite dropping out of school. I left the university because my parents were not able to pay my tuition fees; as such, leaving school wasn’t of my own making. If there was money, I definitely would have remained in school. You don’t have to drop out of school to fulfill your dreams. However, if due to one reason or the other, you are unable to complete your education, you should also know that you can still succeed regardless.”

When Danladi Funtuwa, 38, an auto mechanic from Nasarawa Eggon area of Nasarawa State, working in ‘mechanic village’ on Bukan Sidi in Lafia, and his wife, Salamatu Maka, 31, a seamstress from Wamba Local Government Area of the state, met in 2013 in Lafia, during an empowerment programme of Governor Tanko Almakura, it was like love at first sight.
That love turned a remarkable corner when in March 2014, they got married and began to live as husband and wife in Shabu, Lafia. But some four years down the line, the love made in heaven has become shattered on earth, no thanks to fertility challenges.
What God has joined let no man put asunder, the Old Book says. But it is most painful when the man used in putting asunder that union is your bosom friend.
This is the truth that hit home as our correspondent sat through a session in which Salamatu told a stunning tale of how she was impregnated by her husband’s best friend, Mr. Francis Kulungu, 35, an indigene of Awe Local Government Area of the state and a land and property agent in Lafia.
Bubble burst
The bubble burst when Mr. Funtuwa, in anguish, reported to the Chief of Shabu, Alhaji Sulieman Abdullahi, the three-month pregnancy his wife was carrying for his best friend.
In an interview with Saturday Sun, he talked about how he started suspecting his friend’s affair with his wife when he started frequenting his house, on the pretext of paying a friendly visit, even when he (Funtuwa) was not around.
“Owing to the nature of my work as a mechanic, I close very late, but each time I got home after that I would meet him sitting outside and waiting for me or I would be told he had just left,” Funtuwa told Sun correspondent. “Some of my neighbours who suspected something fishy between them complained to me about the man’s closeness to my wife and wondered aloud what the kind of friend he is, saying he was always visiting and chatting with my wife in her shop.”
Having been alerted, Funtuwa decided to keep a close but surreptitious watch on the two. But over a four-month period, his trap caught nothing tangible he could use to openly confront them over their evil deed.
Didn’t a proverb say that as you monitor the moves of an animal trapped inside a hole so does it from there monitor your moves too? So it was with the two lovebirds engaged in an illicit affair and Funtuwa.
Foolproof trap
When his efforts seemed to have drawn a blank, he hit on a seemingly foolproof idea, which he felt he could use to nail them once and for all.
On May 14, 2017, he lied to his wife that he was going to Kaduna to buy a Peugeot 406 engine for one of his customers’ car and that the trip would keep him away for three days.
But rather than travel as he had made her believe, he stayed in a neighbour’s house hoping to monitor his wife’s movements from there. The following day, he returned to the house at about 12:30pm in the middle of the night only to discover to his dismay that his wife was nowhere to be found. Further move to know her whereabouts was thwarted by his discovery that her phone was permanently switched off for the two days duration.
Unknown to him, his wife and his friend, Kulungu, had left Lafia, the same day, for a visit to his (Kulungu’s) younger brother, schooling at the College of Education, Akwanga, and spent two days there. At the end, the wife returned only to meet an enraged husband waiting for her at home.
“That was the beginning of the problem,” Funtuwa icily observed. “I demanded to know where she went. She was too tongue-tied to talk. From that time till now, we’ve not had sex because she was unwilling to tell me where she went. I reported the matter to her parents and they supported me to insist on knowing where she went.”
For a long time, she continued to remain taciturn. On Sunday, July 30, 2017 matters took a turn for the worse as the enraged husband changed tactics, drew a cutlass and threatened to kill her right in their bedroom if she refused to open up. “At 11pm, when I could no longer hold my anger, I drew a cutlass I bought last year to protect myself in case of an attack and asked her to say her last prayers as I was going to kill her. She started pleading for her life. But all her pleas fell on deaf ears as I told her firmly that I would only spare her life if and only if she told me the truth and nothing but the truth about her two days trip without my knowledge and about her relationship with my friend (Kulungu).”
Midnight confession
Having been so cornered with no way of escape, Salamatu opened up and began to sing. She told him all she knew about the affair that she said started with Kulungu in April. She confessed that she was actually the one who seduced him into the secret love affair and she did that to know whether her inability to conceive for the past three years they’d been married is hers or husband’s.
On the mystery surrounding the two days trip away from her matrimonial home, she revealed that Kulungu took her to his younger brother’s apartment in Akwanga where they had fun for two days. Crying profusely, she earnestly pleaded for forgiveness, adding that her desire to have a child led her into trying another man to know where the problem is and that’s why she couldn’t use condom. In fact, at the end of the confession, she confirmed to him that she was actually three months pregnant courtesy of Kulungu.
No holds barred
In an exclusive interview with Saturday Sun, Salamatu confirmed her husband’s story and hinged her reason for going into the secret love affair with her husband’s friend on her impassioned desire to have a baby after marriage. She regretted her husband’s inability to bring that about more than three years after their wedding.
Her account: “A year after our marriage, we went to Dalhatu Specialist Hospital, Lafia, to carry out some tests to know why I have not conceived. The tests showed that my husband has low and watery sperm count and as a result might not be able to impregnate a woman except something was done about it.

Photos: Effective Ways To Apply And Maintain Dye On Natural Or Relaxed Hair
If you love hair colors that are harmless then this post is for you!
Henna: Henna leaf is popular among the Indians and Hausas from Northern Nigeria. It's used to paint nails or draw beautiful Laali designs on legs and arms.
 |
It can also serve as dye for hair, YES you heard right. Henna can be used as hair dye and it is good for people who don't want any kind of chemical on their hair for fear of hair loss. It's benefits are numerous; it removes dandruffs, serves as conditioner, strengthens and prevents breakage, boosts hair growth etc. When blended it is just like the greenish powder image attached and can be bought from the market where you get your blended herbal produce like alligator pepper etc
How to apply Henna to dye hair
1.Get already blended henna(powder) and mix in warm water alone or include boiled green tea, honey or coconut milk for better result.
2. Leave mixture in covered bowl to develop for as long as 10 hours or leave overnight, it should have turned a clayish colored thick paste by morning.
3.Ensure to stir properly to avoid lumpiness then apply to hair.
4. Wear cloths you can easily dispose of if it gets stained, apply edges with Vaseline to avoid color from running to your skin.
5. Spread henna paste on areas you want color and wrap hair in plastic (nylon, silk scarf or anything that you can easily discard) for up to 2 hours to get it to evenly penetrate hair before washing with shampoo.
6. You'd need lots of water because it gets kind of flaky but with honey added just before application on hair it helps it wash off with ease, I remember when I used henna and I almost died from broken arms and waist LOL. I always do these things myself because most stylists are ignorant. You won't notice color immediately, it takes about a week depending on hair type but you'd get a reddish glow in the sun and light.
If you want to dye hair in color order than red then henna isn't for you because red/black is the only color it produces. But just before you use that permanent dye then first test hair with semi-permanent dyes to see how your hair will fair before you apply the permanent. It's important to always keep hair moisturized and leave in conditioners are your best bet. Cantu is great but I use dark and lovely.
Permanent dye: Go to a professional if you're not patient like I am or enjoy the entire process of nurturing like I do. I applied my current dye myself and if you read up the process manual attached to the pack, you should it just right.
To do after application
To do after application
1. Deep condition after a week of applying dye to avoid split ends.
2. Chemically dyed hair is susceptible to split ends. Trim tip of hair by no more than 1/16-1/8th of an inch every 3 months or less so they don't break to the root of hair.
3. I would advise that you only dye tip of hair like I always do. That way you're sure that your edges are protected, when I had relaxed hair I used to apply dye In all sections of my hair but that didn't work out very well for me but then I knew nothing about hair care.
4. To retain hair color, you may need to reapply every 6months or once you notice color starts to fade. I did mine again last week and picture was taken next day. I used clairol textures and tones(cost N1800 a pack) after so many years of using Creme of Nature.
5. If you don't want to dye your hair, please use henna as a wash and set conditioner. Only thing is you won't need to leave it overnight or for hours as long as you would when you want to use as dye. Your hair would thank you for it and results are bouncy, thick, and dandruff free hair.
Anyway, find what works for your hair and stick to it. Natural hair isn't for everyone and you can have a healthy relaxed hair once you know what works.
