THE BIG DAY.....Coronation of the Oba. 
Dignitaries have started arriving at the Urhokpota Hall. The atmosphere is incredible. Congratulations to the good people of Benin Kingdom.

Mr President, Baba Buhari, my action Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, my incoming Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki all going be under one roof at the same time for the Coronation of Crown Prince Ehenede Erediauwa as the Oba of Benin.

Guess what? Benin City is in lockdown mode as dignitaries from the world over have arrived for the historic occasion. And a little bird told me that even Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is ably represented as well as Her Majesty's Government. The hand of God is on Edo as this is nothing short of divine providence.

This occasion is a testament that Edo is truly the Heart Beat of the Nation and with a new Oba and a governor, this coincidence will be a springboard for deepening our socio-cultural values and community cohesion which our incoming is fully committed to advance further. Edo State is surely going further to the next level under Obaseki's government. -@gloria_adagbon

GCR STORY SERES TITLE: DUCY WHO WANTS TO GET MARRIED - EPISODE 4

Written and composed by O.U. Daniel  Episode 4  Continued from Monday….. Three days passed by and the young man hasn’t called Ducy. She was waiting for that call like her life depended on it. Ducy is fond of giving guys her contact only for the list. The list simply means list-of guys-who-takes-care of-her-needs.  She had already placed the young man from that restaurant on the list as the person who would take care of her whenever she wanted to drink wine. She had already saved his contact number as ‘wine guy’.  In your wildest thought, you can imagine what she saves the contact of over 23 guys in her phone according to her needs – food guy, cloth guy, hair guy, indomie guy, gist guy, recharge card guy, data guy, fruit guy, bread guy, malt guy, market guy, shoe guy, club guy, yahoo guy, sharp guy, lover boy, church guy 1, church guy 2, gym guy, cab guy, hotel guy, and what have you.  Where Ducy lived was a single room where she and someone...

OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE IN LUGBE COMMUNITY USE 10 ATM POINTS

By Seyi Anjorin Lugbe is one of the popular suburban settlements in the FCT, along the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport road, in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) with more than 20 housing estates developed and still developing, spanning over 15kilometres on the Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua expressway. Since the introduction of the cashless policy in Nigeria and FCT, as a resident of Lugbe, it is safe not to run out of cash with the intention of getting the ATM to dispense cash, particular in an emergency period. A visit to Federal Housing Estate in Lugbe shows that there are only three banks namely Skye, Fidelity and Wema Banks that services the whole of the Lugbe environs until Shoprite Nigeria opened its Novare Gateway mall in Lugbe, housing just two ATM points from Zenith Bank. It has been a nightmare for residents of Lugbe who want to make withdrawals, especially during the weekends as most of the ATMs operated by these banks either run out of cash or are not capab...

Evgeniy Maloletka—AP BY MSTYSLAV CHERNOV AND YURAS KARMANAU / AP MARIUPOL, Ukraine — Russian forces pounding the port city of Mariupol shelled a mosque that was sheltering more than 80 people, including children, the Ukrainian government said Saturday.

It is hatred. They kill children,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said d...
