Fayose dreams comeback as Ekiti state governor

Ahead of next year’s governorship election in the western Nigerian state of Ekiti, former governor Ayo Fayose of PDP has vowed to recapture power and become the next governor in the state.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan, Fayose said “there is no agenda in 2014, I am the next governor in Ekiti state’’.
Sounding spiritual and philosophical, Fayose said he left office through an impeachment by the State House of Assembly on October 15, 2006 and Mr Segun Oni also left on October 15, 2010 while the incumbent Gov. Kayode Fayemi was sworn in on October 16, 2010.
“So the issues are very clear. The historic importance are very clear, my exit marks the end of every government in Ekiti State.
Fayose said automatically, Fayemi would leave office on Oct. 15, 2014 and a new government by Fayose would start on October 16, 2014, “exactly eight years, after I left office’’.
“Apart from that, I am working. People love me and people want me. I am endearing myself more to them. I don’t like to make too much noise, May God help all of us’’, he prayed.
On the reconciliatory meetings going on in the PDP, Fayose said it was a welcome development as “ It shows that PDP is moving forward. We should all come together and do more, if we do more, we will get more. PDP will take over power in the South-West’’, he said.
“Forever, there will be internal problems, it will never end, that is the hallmark of politics, that is why we call it politics, it is a game of interest and intrigues.’’
Fayose said PDP as a large party should expect a lot of intrigues and interest but expressed the hope hope that at the end of it all, members would come together.
“ When you see a party fighting , and not ready to decamp, you should be afraid of them, because when they come together, it is a crisis for the opponents they are fighting. We should forget about the crisis, crisis is normal and we should expect more. That does not take away that they are in PDP and want PDP to win.’’

  Abby and Brittany Hensel are conjoined twins determined to live the normal, active life of outgoing 20-somethings anywhere. They have been to university, they travel, they have jobs.

Although they have two teaching licences, there is one practical difference when it comes to the finances. "Obviously right away we understand that we are going to get one salary because we're doing the job of one person," says Abby.

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

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?
