FROM THE INSTAGRAM DESK OF RENO OMOKRI:
Very Unpopular Opinion (you guys know I
don’t go with the crowd. I go with my conscience)
Everybody is in a rush to demonise
Chidinma. But it takes two to tango. Chidinma is 21. Usifo was 50. Between
them, there existed a 29 year age gap. She could have been his daughter.
How many of you condemning Chidinma were
mature at 21? We are now circulating videos of her smoking. How many of you did
not smoke at 21? She erred. She should be punished. However, let us try to find
out why it happened and make course corrections as a society.
Chidinma is also a victim. Of bad parenting and a bad society. We are now a society that is so religious that we expect ‘grace’ to cover everything.

With a swipe on Christian critics, the lead singer of a popular US Christian worship band has issued an apology over a wedding picture he posted on Instagram.
The post has since generated over 10,000 comments from his fans on Instagram particularly, from Christians who called it "ungodly" and unbecoming of a believer.
"No one needs to see your private married life except the two of you. This was too far sir, it's not right," Mermaid_the_artist said in a comment.

*************
Today, we launched seven new high capacity boats for the Lagos State Ferry Services to expand water transportation and provide more commuting option for Lagosians.
With the new boats LAGFERRY can now move 710 commuters per trip.
The impressive performance of LAGFERRY in the last one year is an indication of the growing confidence of residents in water transportation. This justifies our decision to procure additional boats to enhance operations and the capacity to meet the transportation demands of the people.
The procurement of these new high-capacity boats is in fulfillment of our promise to double the number of boats in the fleet of LAGFERRY and reduce traffic congestion on our roads.
We also launched the Cowry Card for water transportation to create a seamless payment scheme for our Multimodal Transportation System, which is gradually taking shape as we have commenced the integration of our rail lines, bus terminals and waterways.

Igrew up as a pastor’s kid, the third of four children. Or was it fourth? For years I believed I was born 30 seconds before my identical twin, Josh. But he recently challenged this 33-year-old fact, turning the Bailey family world order upside-down.
Josh and I were adventurous and independent twins who made the suburbs of North Dallas our playground. The flame of our adventurous spirit was fanned by our older brother, Jeremy. Together we wanted to take risks and experience them firsthand. I wasn’t content to just watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I had to be Indiana Jones. I needed to wade through the creeks behind my house, build rope swings, and explore sewers. And not with a flashlight, but by tying my shirt to a stick, dipping it in gasoline, and lighting it on fire.
As a boy, I listened intently to my dad recount some of the greatest adventure stories ever told: Noah and his ark, David defeating a giant, and Joshua shouting down walls. These men experienced wild adventure, and God, firsthand. My longing for intimacy with God was born from story time with my dad.
Dad pastored a nondenominational, charismatic—or, as he liked to say, Happy-Baptist—church. It was our family’s second home. BB gun shootouts commonly took place in the vacant sanctuary. Josh and I raced the petting-zoo miniature ponies around the parking lot after the fall carnival and learned how to do donuts in our youth pastor’s car before we could legally drive.

Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa,
yesterday, reprimanded critics of southern governors over their decision to ban
opening grazing of cattle in the south, restructuring of the country and other demands
at its meeting in Asaba, Guardian reports.
Expressing surprise and disappointment that
some individuals in the presidency are still canvassing retention of open
grazing of cattle, the report quoted Okowa as saying “We owe no apologies,
because we spoke the truth and we thought that the truth was in the best
interest of the country.
“Can we truly be promoting open grazing at this moment, seeing all the atrocities being committed across the country? The president was misrepresented, because I have seen news headlines that the president has not opposed the ban on open grazing. We need to reconsider our best options. Where we were 50 years ago should not be where we should be today and tomorrow.”

Dalee Sullivan in Alpine, Texas on Friday,
May 28, 2021. (Sarah M Vasquez/The New York Times) |
Dalee Sullivan looked straight ahead into
her computer’s camera and started making her case to the judge. She referred to
transcripts, emails and policies she had pulled from the student handbook at
Alpine High School. The school, she contended, had made errors in tabulating
grade-point averages: Classes and exams that should have been included were
left out, and vice versa.
Sullivan had won Lincoln-Douglas debate
tournaments and, in her freshman year, was a member of the mock trial team. But
she is not a lawyer. She is 18, and she graduated from the lone public high
school in the small West Texas town of Alpine just a week ago, which was the
reason she was in court to begin with.
“This serves to prove that no matter the
outcome of the GPA contest, and no matter how many times we had the school
recalculate the GPA,” Sullivan told the judge during a hearing on Friday, the
Alpine Independent School District “was going to make certain I could never be
valedictorian, even if I earned it.”
School officials said she ranked third in her class. Sullivan disagreed.
Thirteen students and three staff members of the privately-owned university were released by 2pm Saturday afternoon at a location along the Kaduna- Abuja highway and media reports has it that the bandits collected millions of naira in ransom and eight new motorcycles.
Meanwhile, parents and family members of the remaining kidnapped students and workers of the Greenfield University, Kaduna State, said they were forced to sell their property to raise ransom as the remaining victims regained freedom, Punch reports.
Recall that fourteen students were abducted 20th April this year when bandits broke into the University, killing a staff and abducting twenty students and three staff members. Three of the students were subsequently, found dead 23rd April and two of them were again found dead 25th April 2021 in a village close to the school, one of the students was earlier released after ransom was paid for his release by his parents.
Prior to the release of the students, it was in the news that at a meeting held in Kaduna in April, their parents had appealed to the government and public to help with the N800 million ransom demand from the kidnappers even when the Kaduna State Government and the Federal Government have discouraged ransom payments to bandits.
Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, former Chairman, Nigerian Economic Summit Group and Former Chairman, Pfizer West Africa delivered the keynote speech at the 2nd National Dialogue, an event held in Abuja Tuesday 25th May 2021. The theme of the event was "THE CHALLENGES OF INSECURITY AND ROTATION OF PRESIDENTIAL POWER FOR UNITY IN NIGERIA".
