I like it when state governors, ministers or other top government officials gather for meetings inside the Villa. It is always fun listening to these big men and women crack jokes and exchange banter. Beyond the hostilities some of them who belong to different political camps display in public, when they meet, they have ways of reaching out to one another. I always wish their followers who kill or maim because of them are present to learn the spirit of sportsmanship from their idols. Most of the subjects of their discussions do not make the list of stories in the media most times, but that is what this column has been achieving over the years – serving you news behind the news. A meeting of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum was held on Wednesday night inside the old Banquet Hall of the Villa. State governors elected on the platforms of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party attended. The most interesting part of the meeting was when Rivers State Govern...

However, as surprising as it is, there has to be reasons for this development and at Saharaweekly, these are what we tink the pains of Lil kesh are: Cheating : No doubt, Lil kesh is one great artiste that has a lot to offer, he is also a street guy which makes him blend with the whole YBNL crew.

Africa's foremost controversial female blogger, "Linda Ikeji" never seems to be shy of being embroiled in so many controversies. Barely 2 months after her well publicized "Hermes Birkin" bag scandal, she has one again found herself at the center of the storm! See the screenshot of her tweets after the cut, below; In a series of tweets across her twitter handle, Linda Ikeji tweeted about being Nigeria's richest woman with an account balance of over "$1Billion" and despite being single, she can afford to buy anything that makes her happy, including any man as a "HUSBAND".

Or better still, a more subtle name for 'Linda Ikeji' should be "Miss Independent" lol.

End time is real. This End Time Church in Akure caught my attention today

  "If PMB fails (God forbid!) to address much of the rots in our polity, then it's bye to Nigeria's redemption" This statement has b een the rhetoric coming from Nigerians in the recent time and it shows the level of despondency of many. Now, for the president not to allow this come to pass he must apply the force of law on acts of impunity. Without addressing the IMPUNITY SCOURGE, sanity can't reign. The lawless among the rich and poor won't learn the lesson of cause and effect. The economic and political criminals will always damn the consequences knowing full well that the arms of the law cannot keep in touch with them. When vandals dare the government, no other song can be understood by them other than the use of brute force. When fuel ⛽ marketers who got their premises sealed off by the DPR for unwholesome practices, remove the authority's seal and sell at nights, no other sermons will enter their ears aside strict application of fo...
