'Don’t dump PDP' - BoT Chairman begs members.

The acting Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator Walid Jibrin, has begged to members planning to decamp to have a change of heart.

He made the appeal in Abuja on Thursday, April 28, at the party’s 70th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.

While he acknowledged that the party has made some bad choices, he said leaving the party is not the solution.

"Many of us who are founding members of PDP will not leave the PDP and the PDP will never die. We will continue to be in PDP," Jibrin said.

"Whatever mistake that is there in the party, we must be there to correct it and make our contribution, leaving PDP is not the answer.

"I will like to appeal to everyone who intends to leave PDP to stop that, we must unite and all work together in order to build PDP.

"PDP is within a very good marking and I do not think I see anything wrong with PDP.

"Every party has its own problems and we should use our own problems positively.

"Am sure soon, the whole problem in PDP will be resolved," he assured.

Also speaking at the meeting, the Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, said that as the national convention approaches, it is expected that there would be disagreements.

He urged members to resolve such disagreements without delay.

"So I like to appeal to our party men and women that we must find a way of resolving our differences in the best interest of our party.

"PDP is the only party in Nigeria which we can say belongs to everybody and to nobody.

"The time is now for us to make sacrifices and to show compromise so that the party will remain strong.

"It is also a time for us to show alternative to what is going on in the country currently, so that Nigerians can trust us again with governance in 2019," Ekweremadu said.

Speaking on behalf of PDP Governors' Forum, Gombe State, Ibrahim Dankwambo , pledged the loyalty of the forum to the decision of the NEC of the party.

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground. The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

King Of Swazi chooses Wife, Publicly Test Girls' Virginity As They Dance Naked. (Photos)

A common tradition in Swaziland (Swazi) permits the King, Mswati, to choose a new bride every year. This is done in a festival named Swazi Reed Dance Festival where girls are paraded and tested publicly to know their virginity status. It has been a long time tradition in Swaziland and not the first time this controversial issue is making it into the news. Although, many consider this barbaric and backward, it’s a tradition the people willingly embrace as the aim is to help King Mswati choose a wife. As part of Swazi custom and norms, that time of the year has come, when the King chooses his bride and again, he has reportedly tested some of the volunteered girls’ virginity before choosing a wife for himself. Thousands of pretty virgins’ were seen in this year’s edition dancing topless for King Mswati III, on what is called the Reed Dance ceremony, also known as Umhlanga), hoping to be his next wife. The Reed Dance ceremony is an annual Swazi and Zulu tradition hel

Slum King Movie Review

If you remember how I mentioned from the beginning that the series had a lot of errors that just didn't cut it for me. But the episode 10 made up for a whole lot. Although, it had its flaws, it was a beautiful ending for the series. The writer is like mem this is how I write sometimes. Just want to rush to the end where the beauty of the movie is. I love how Maje lost both women. I would have preferred he ended up with Yaga but I don't understand the crave for Kate. I commented on the producer's IG post that we don't need a sequel. It's not necessary. Let all of us rest with this one. But I see her commenting like there'd be a sequel as she left a lot of things and characters open. Characters like Selense and Sapele water. In all, Slum King is just there as a series but I'd pick it over series like Wura. Y'all need to start giving Tobi his flowers. He is too good!!!
