Ikeja — Indications emerged, Tuesday, that the late Cynthia Osokogu, the only daughter of General Frank Osokogu (rtd), whose body was discovered in a Lagos morgue a month after she was declared missing, could have been murdered by her facebook acquaintances. Already, six persons, among them two university students, a pharmacist and an employee of the hotel where the 24-year-old post-graduate student was murdered have been arrested. Investigation into the murder, as reliably gathered, revealed that Cynthia was strangled to death in the hotel by her assailants, who thereafter left with an undisclosed amount, her student identity card and phones. Report said the beautiful and vivacious Cynthia had chatted with the two undergraduates on facebook for months. In the process, they reportedly got to know that she owned a boutique in Nasarawa State, following which they reportedly had a business proposal with her, promising to host her whenever she visited Lagos. On her arrival at the M

Nigerians have been challenged not to give up in the nation but to continually pray for God’s intervention in its affairs. The President, the Habitation church of God International, Rev. Tioluwani Aderibigbe who was speaking at an open air service at the church festival grounds at Uholor village to climax its festival of blessings 2012, stated that the desire of every believer is contained in God’s promise which can only be accessed by faith. Speaking in the topic “Jump over your enemies” Rev Tioluwani Aderibigbe reminded Christian faithful that they are God’s agent of change and transformation and must continually preach the gospel of truth to the flock committed to their care. Rev. Aderibigbe lamented that the missing link in the world today is truth which has allowed myriads of vices to permeate all facets of the society. The clergyman stressed the need for the congregation of faithful to trust, believe fast and pray with determination in order to open a direct line with Go

..We had no choice of what colour or tribe we were born, neither did we over who our parents will be. Rich or poor, black or white, tall or short, fine or not so fine. But the "Bad Goodnews" is this; From that very day we were born, the journey of choices began, from thence EVERYTHING about life became a choice!. Now we're held responsible for our choices and what we make out of our lives. From the beginning of ages choices existed, the first man had the choice to continue to eat of other fruits and live, or have a bite of the fruit from the forbidden tree and die. The journey of choices starts from birth and ends at death. Breast milk indeed is food for the baby, but thus far in my short sojourn in life, i've seen babies choose to suck or not to suck. I've seen the old on their dying beds choose to bless or to curse. I've seen the youths, male and females choose to make greatness out of their lives and sadly for some craziness out of their lives. One major

Was sung into my ears right from when I knew what. Many said to me as if it was the only way. I never used to understand, because in my case I saw things differently. Consistency at work was more like it to me, it wasn't like to me what they made it seem. Extreme they made it sound, like what you'll do and die doing. I used to wonder at times, what magnitude of misconception they had of it. The first syllable I think was more of it to them, while the last syllable made the most of sense to me. Idealists reasoned but not many of them reasoned it through. Teachers of morals tried, but still failed to grab the underlying fact. To many, the "Hard" part was it all, but the "Work" in it seemed all to me. Absence of work, is what will spell doom, the prefix "hard" is actually something we can still do without. Consistency at work makes the sense in a whole, and is what the word(Hard work) means. Sadly, it isn't the "HARD" so much stressed

Flattery, like coronation in a dream. You'll soon wake up and find no staff, no crown, no one in front of you. @Olalekanakogun

IMPOSSIBLE is the label on every start point. Our ignorance of this is what pushes us further actually. @Olalekanakogun
