Ebiminor Preye is one of the most inspiring
young Nigerian ladies you'll ever meet. She
thrives in a male-dominated occupation -
painting/POP jobs, she knows no bounds,
very hardworking, and is very determined to
succeed.
Whilst many still believe there's NO JOB,
Ebiminor Preye found a way out and has this
message for us all:
I want to address some ladies. I know I don't
have a bunch on my list, but if you are a lady
then this is for you.
It's not pride, I was telling a friend few days
ago that I pity those who are not our friends
now, because very soon they will struggle to
get a glimpse of us.
Now, if you are a lady, girl and you are not
doing anything. You just sit Changing DPs and
PM, chatting with guys and you are above 20,
please know that time is running out.
If you didn't go to school, that's a little bit
worse but it's not the end of life, Colonel
Sanders was 62 when he founded KFC that
shook the world.
Who is that guy wasting your life? What have
you placed value on? If you don't place value
on yourself, very soon that guy will dump you.
The only way to know you value yourself is
not by wearing the most expensive pancakes
with the money that a guy gave to you. It's by
taking responsibility and being responsible.
The truth of the matter is that, guys have
become wiser over the years and will not want
to spend the rest of their lives with a liability.
You are not doing anything, you have no skill.
You say you are a sexy girl. Are there not
sexy girls with brains? Or are you the only
girl?
Take a decision right now, go out there and
learn a skill, you can learn tailoring, hair-
dressing, mechanic, make-up or learn what
am doing now P.O.P.
Don't let any guy intimidate you with his car.
Develop yourself and very soon you will
employ him as your driver.. Stop seeing cars,
start seeing stars.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, senior special assistant to
the president on foreign affairs and diaspora,
has warned Nigerian migrants against
travelling to Libya, saying the penalty, when
caught, is death. .
.
Dabiri-Erewa made the warning in a statement
she issued on Monday, following the
emergence of videos and photographs of
Nigerians being killed in the North African
country. .
.
“The attention of the office of the Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Foreign
Affairs and Diaspora has been drawn to a
video and pictures being circulated on the
purported killing of black immigrants in Libya,”
she said. .
.
“While the authenticity of the pictures and
tapes in question cannot be verified, it is a
known fact that Libya has been executing
alleged black illegal immigrants for years.
.
.
“As the Chairman Committee on Diaspora in
the House of Representatives in the Seventh
Assembly, we intervened in the case of 24
Nigerians about to be killed in Libya.” .
.
As at two months ago, NEMA, alongside the
Nigerian Embassy in Libya, evacuated over
2000 Nigerians from Libya,” she said. .
.
“The Nigerian embassy in Libya, working with
NEMA, has relentlessly intervened in cases
involving Nigerians in trouble in Libya and will
continue to do so. Libyans are dealing with
their own struggles as there is no recognised
government in place.
.
.
The office of the Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora
hereby appeals again to Nigerian migrants to
avoid Libya as penalty for illegal migration to
Libya, when caught, is usually a death
sentence.”
She made the revelation in an exclusive
interview with The Sun. Speaking about her
past relationship, she said: "When I came to
Lagos, I decided to have one boyfriend.
Fortunately or unfortunately, he broke my
heart by looking for another girl. He did it
twice.
.
.
He is a normal person. He should be over five
feet. He was the person who deflowered me."
.
.
When asked if she enjoys making love, she
said "yes." On the kind of man she would like
to marry, she said: "I want a God-fearing man,
a man that cares, a man that looks cute, a
man that dresses well and has swagger. .
.
I don’t like men that wear earrings or funny
hairstyles. I need a man that is dark in
complexion. I like tall men, men over five feet.
My father was a tall man; I want a man like
him. The man should be faithful. My kind of
man should be romantic."

Charles Obong, 52, who worked as a senior
personnel officer in the ministry of Public
Service from 2006 to 2016, reportedly wanted
to use the cash to redeem his soul before
God, Daily Monitor reports.
.
.
Obong reportedly saved more than Shs200
million (about N17m) to bribe the Almighty
Father on Judgement Day so He could forgive
his earthly sins. He died on December 17,
2016, after a long illness and was buried on
Christmas Eve.
.
.
He was buried in a metallic coffin estimated to
have cost Shs20m. The Aromo Sub-county
chairman, Mr David Elic, said his brother-in-
law had left behind a Will, dictating that upon
his death, his wife Ms Margaret Obong should
deposit huge sums of money in his coffin. .
.
He planned to convey the money to God as an
offertory so that the Almighty Father could
forgive his sins and save him from hellfire. He
reportedly also instructed his brother Justin
Ngole and sister Hellen Aber to bear witness
to ensure his wife follows his testament to the
letter and secure the money in his coffin.
Chris Brown and Soulja Boy’s social media
war over Karrueche Tran is getting out of
hand…and she wants nothing to do with it.
After hours of back and forth between the
singers, Kae reportedly put her two cents in,
and completely dissed her ex, Chris, for
saying he likes to leave comments on her
Instagram photos to make her feel ‘poppin.’ .
.
Karrueche Tran did not ask to be part of this
narrative! Chris Brown, 27, and Soulja Boy’s
feud began when the latter commented on a
pic of Karrueche on Instagram, and Breezy
called him to let him know he was NOT happy
about it. Things escalated quickly, and Soulja
Boy slammed his nemesis for constantly
commenting on Kae’s pics when she wants
nothing to do with him. .
.
Well, Chris had something to say about that! “I
commented on her pics for this fact only: SO
THAT NO MATTER HOW STUPID I LOOKED,
SHE WOULD FEEL POPPIN,” Chris explained on
Instagram. “I HAVE THE MEANS AND
CONNECTIONS TO CONTACT HER.” .
.
Karrueche probably wasn’t planning on getting
involved…but this comment really set her off.
So she dissed him big time…. Chris brown
however has replied her in a more savage way
Twin brothers Sawyer and Everett shared the
same womb for nine months. But they won't
share the same birthday, or even the same
year of birth.
.
.
The pair were born to parents Holly and
Brandon Shay in separate years thanks to an
unexpected arrival on New Year's Eve.
.
.
Holly, from Glendale, Arizona, had been in an
exhausting labour for six hours when her first
son Sawyer arrived at 11.51pm.
.
.
"I wanted to make sure he was OK, and they
had to keep reminding me that I had to push,"
she told ABC.
.
.
Everett was born one minute after midnight on
January 1, 2017. .
.
This won’t be happening for the first time. At
least three other sets of twins in Georgia, Utah,
and California, were born a year.
In a statement released, Monday, by Laolu
Akande, Senior Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity to Vice president Yemi Osinbajo, the
government stated that the payment was
effected through the Conditional Cash Transfer,
CCT, of the government’s Social Investment
Programmes, SIP. .

One million Nigerians would receive N5,000
monthly payments under the CCT as a form of
social safety net for the poorest and most

Budget.
.
.
Akande added that many of the beneficiaries
have already reported receiving their first
payments in the first batch that commenced
last week. “In the first batch that commenced
last week, nine states would be covered.”

The statement listed Borno, Kwara, Bauchi,
Cross Rivers, Niger, Kogi, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti
states as states in the first batch to commence
the CCT payment.
.

It however said that the states were selected
because they had a social register that
identified the vulnerable and poorest
Nigerians. According to the statement, the FG,
with the support of the World Bank, has
adopted the Community Based Targeting (CBT)
for developing the social register in the other
states for transparency, objectivity and
credibility.

social register include Plateau, Jigawa,
Adamawa, Anambra, Benue, Enugu, Katsina,
Taraba, Delta, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Imo and
Ogun States. .

designed to hire half a million unemployed
graduates has now engaged 200,000, and the
National Homegrown School Feeding
Programme now runs in 3 states.
.
.
He said the FG has also kicked-off the
Government Enterprise and Empowerment
Programme, GEEP. “Under GEEP, soft loans
ranging from N10,000 to 100,000 have been
designed for artisans, traders, market women
among others. .
.
Commenting on the 200,000 beneficiaries of
the N-power programme, Akande said about
100,000 graduates have been physically
verified and have started receiving their
N30,000 stipends.
