Tension in Delta as Keyamo declares governorship ambition

As the clock ticks for the 2015 general elections, Delta State is set to witness what looks like a pulsating battle for its soul as human rights activist, Mr Festus Keyamo, has declared his interest to contest for the state’s governorship election.
DailyPost has gathered that the controversial lawyer declared his interest recently in Effurun-Warri, Delta State, at the maiden edition of Delta Forces United (DFU), a rallying point being put in place to mobilise and galvanise progressives in the state.
Keyamo who promised to take ‘Deltans’ out of what he termed the present state of underdevelopment, condemned what he termed “politics of cronyism, ethnicity, prebendalism and underdevelopment in the state,” announcing that it was time for ‘Deltans’ to be liberated from the dynasty of thieves that have taken over the state in the years.
However, DailyPost cannot confirm under what platform Keyamo would run for in the coming election, but he has ruled out the possibility of joining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing the party as “an entrencher of godfatherism to the detriment of the masses.”Culled from Daily Post.

Although they have two teaching licences, there is one practical difference when it comes to the finances.

Yinka Ayefele – “If you think I’m impotent, bring your sister”

Image
Many people still don’t believe that Gospel musician Yinka Ayefele, who had a fatal accident years back, can perform the duty of a husband in terms of procreation. But the Ibadan based singer shocked many people, when he got married and started raring children. Yinka said, “Doctors would tell you that my case is very special and rare; my case is one of a thousand cases. There are some things I may not want to say here but... "I challenge those who still don’t believe me that I can perform to come with their sisters to prove the point. What I am trying to say is that I’m fortunate to have proved the medical practitioner wrong in some aspects. They say I wouldn’t be able to have erection but the day they discovered I was able to have it was like a miracle; in fact, my consultant was shocked, I thank God for this.” So all you doubting Thomas, hope you know better now?
