Mandela Was Angry With Nigeria By Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed

"It is better to help a friend pay his fine,than tell a lie to help him cover a crime." - Nigerian proverb.
It was literally a life-long ambition, and I used every opportunity to meet the old man in person. I was finally in a position to press buttons and call old friends to render favours, and in early 2007 I succeeded. I was told I could see Mandela for only 30 minutes at his home, but I needed to get there one hour earlier. Colleagues I had leaned on were skeptical that I would see him despite the appointment, particularly since I will not say it was official. An old South African friend and course mate from South Africa who helped, suggested I asked questions or matters I wanted to discuss with him and send them in advance. I did not think that was the type of meeting I wanted, so I did not.

10 must-remember rules for love on Facebook

 If you and your lover regularly keep in touch and nurture feelings through Facebook , then there are rules that you need to remember to love more completely .
 1. Do not “like” and comment on all the pictures, all the status of your girl/boyfriend: It can make her/him feel uncomfortable because they are controlled too tight. Just “like” the photos that you really like. Limit public comments and you two should talk in private.
2. Many couples want to know other’s Facebook password for ease of control. This should not be incurred for unnecessary conflicts. For example, if the contents of the old messages are from the old flame with intimate conversation, you will be jealous for no reason. Giving individual space is the know-how to maintain long-lasting love.

What will you describe as Genuine love?

What will you describe as genuine love? Is it just to care about a girl who is beautiful and sexy? Or a girl that is good in bed? I for one believe loving someone unconditionally is true love, when you love not because she gives you money or sex, but when you love someone because you’re best friend confidants, what will happen when that girl you claimed you love grow old and her breast have gone flaccid and have sagged, what happened if her face is lined with wrinkles at the age of about 45? What will happen if you as a virile man is still sexually active? Will you still love her both sexually and naturally than going out to the young girls out there? Would want to spend most of your free time with her or you will go out and have a night spree of booze and sex at the club? Food for though.
