2023 presidency: Catholic Bishops advise Nigerians on competence

The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), has advised Nigerians to use competence as the yardstick as they go to the polls to choose a new President for the nation in 2023.

The group called on Nigerians to avoid the temptation of falling into a divisive political campaign ahead of next year’s general elections in the country.

Archbishop Augustine Akubeze, the President of CBCN, made the remarks during the opening of the organisation’s first plenary in 2022, held in Abuja.

Akubeze said that Nigerians cannot run away from the fact that very often, people get the kind of government they deserve, lamenting that the number of Nigerians who vote was very few.

CATCH-UP: Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket

On Catch-Up this week we have our spotlight on “Dell Rhea’s Chicken Basket” which reportedly began as a simple lunch counter selling sandwiches in a gas station along Route 66, operated by Ervin 'Irv' Kolarik, that was opened some time during the late 1920s. In 1938, two local farm women entered Irv Kolarik's gas station for a cup of coffee; they overheard him complaining about how he hated running a gas station and preferred running the lunch counter instead, and offered to share their secret recipe for fried chicken with him if he agreed to buy his chickens from them. In fact, they even agreed to go to work for him and make the chicken. Kolarik consented, and the chicken was an instant success. The lunch counter was no longer sufficient for serving customers. Kolarik initially converted the station's by then disused automobile repair garage bays into dining rooms, which eventually became known as the National Chicken Basket; but by the mid-1940s, further demand made it clear that a new building was needed to serve patrons. This prompted Kolarik to buy the adjacent property and build a full-service restaurant. Kolarik hired Chicago architect Eugene F. Stoyke to construct the one-story brick restaurant and cocktail lounge.

Dating For Disabled: 5 Biggest Misconceptions We Hear Almost Every Day

Back in the day, dating was much simpler and easier. Today, the case is completely different. Most people tend to overthink the obvious things and that makes it harder for them to enjoy their love life. Single people simply can't ignore the myths they hear about other dating niches and this can prevent them from having a fulfilling romantic life. Well, dating for disabled is not an exception. This particular part of the dating realm is riddled with unfair misconceptions and we're about to debunk the 5 biggest myths these people are dealing with on a daily basis.

"People With Disabilities Should Be Treated Differently"

This is definitely one of the most annoying myths about disabled dating out there. A lot of people think that differently-abled individuals require some kind of a special treatment and this is the biggest reason why these folks are not excited about revealing their disabilities. If you're about to go on a date with someone from this dating niche, make sure to treat your companion with nothing but respect. Avoid being condescending at all costs.
