Nigerian Men are not romantic, they are too full of ego”- Ronke Oshodi
Reacting to the successful premiere of UNFORGIVABLE – a movie produced by Dayo Amusa - yoruba movie star Ronke Ojo lamented that Nigerian men are not real.
“They are mad people because normal people would not act like that. I say to people on a daily basis that I pity African women. Our men, especially the Yorubas, see their wives as slaves. You have to go out of your way to do everything.
They want you to be 110 percent submissive. I can’t really understand. Most married people are dying of lack of emotion and care from their men. Every woman wants to be in her husband`s hands enjoying love and care.
Nigerian men are just not real; they are wicked. You have a wife and you don’t show her love or care, but you’re buying her clothes; is it all about money? It’s really sad that African men are not romantic. They are too full of ego.” she said

Licenced to Kill?
With the ex- President of Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof. Festus Iyayi, becoming the latest victim of dangerous driving and disregard for traffic rules, a habit common among elected public officials, Chineme Okafor writes on the abnormality that has become the norm in Nigeria
To be elected as a public official in Nigeria nowadays seems a licence for impunity. For instance, dangerous driving has become a common place on Nigerian roads with elected public officials’ convoy responsible for several auto accidents and deaths in recent times.
Yes, dangerous driving elsewhere attract imprisonment and fine, but in Nigeria elected officials and government appointees brazenly drive dangerously without being charged for their reckless act. Indeed, receiving a dangerous driving charge is one of the most serious motoring offences all over the world.
The death exactly last week of a one-time President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof. Festus Iyayi in a grisly auto accident that also involved an alleged convoy of the Governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada has again brought to the fore reckless driving that is associated with convoys elected officials on Nigerian roads.
2014 budget: Reps, Senate disagree on oil benchmark
The House of Representatives on Thursday adopted a crude oil benchmark of $79 per barrel for the 2014 budget.
This is in sharp contrast to the position of the Senate which pegged it at $76.50 as announced on Wednesday. President Goodluck Jonathan had proposed $74 for the 2014 fiscal year.
The reps took the position when they considered and approved the report of the House Joint Committee on Finance/Budget/Loans and Debt Management on the 2014-2016 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper.
The MTEF/FSP must precede the budget of the incoming year in compliance with the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007.
It sets out government’s spending projections and revenues for the next three years as the current financial year winds down.

Nigerian 90′s Music Star Father U Turn dies at 36
One of Nigeria’s most popular 90s musicians Olufemi Mayomi, aka Father U Turn, is dead
The dancehall artiste who rose from poverty as an orphan, to build a successful and inspiring career as a songwriter, recording artiste, TV presenter and performer, passed on in Lagos today, following a brief illness. He was 36 years old.
The late U Turn was from Kabba-Bunu in Kogi State where he first tried his hands on entertainment, working as a radio and TV presenter.
He had a brief stint at NTA in Lagos, after relocating here, before signing a deal with Ultima Records which released his early albums.
He was a little boy, with braids and a charming personality. And his signature intro ‘Apoola Berekete’ was far beyond his stature. But he got the industry’s attention and got a leg in the door before long. After years of club tours and free gigs, he got his first break when he was signed to one of the biggest record labels of the time, Ultima Records.
Nigeria – Yes, Yes, Yes!
Nigeria became the most successful team in FIFA U-17 World Cup history with a 3-0 win over holders Mexico at the Mohammad Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The final was a rematch of the 6-1 win Nigeria inflicted on the Mexicans in Group F play and sees the Golden Eaglets lay hands on the junior world trophy for the fourth time in their history, one better than South American giants Brazil. When the final whistle went in the UAE capital, fans and players alike rejoiced, fingers pointed to the sky, with what has become the traditional Nigerian celebration of: “yes, yes yes!”
Mexico kept the ball for a full two minutes at the start of the game, moving it around well and making the Nigerians chase. El Tri even managed the first chance on goal after six minutes. Osvaldo Rodriguez crossed from the left, but Alejandro Diaz couldn’t keep his close-range effort the right side of the post. Two minutes on and Ivan Ochoa – who scored twice in the semi-final win over Argentina – saw his off-balance header pushed over the bar by Dele Alampasu.
