Be single and proud- An epistle from Area Fada

 I heard and read of a message addressed to all single ladies from the area fada himself, Charly Boy. Its quite lengthy and is hinged on a conversation he had with his princess. Is it true that Nigerian young men are losing drive and focus?

Here is Charly Boy's message:


All the single ladies reading this, chin-up and give your good self a thumb up. Nothing doest thou. Last week I had a father/daughter discussion with my Princess. I could feel the frustration in her tone as we spoke about different issues. When I asked about her boyfriend she gave me a very long and irritated “Naija babe” hiss, she aired out her frustrations with this whole dating business. "Daddy we are no longer dating." “I’m so very sorry my love, but what happened I queried,” very anxious to hear the gist, cause me and my Princess are just that close. This is my daughter’s 3rd boyfriend since she started dating, and she has only been with him for barely 6months… "Daddy, please I’m tired, he is not ambitious, he has no drive, and he is too laid back for his own good, how can I marry a man like that? To make matters worse, he thinks I am overly ambitious, he says I do way too much – please tell me how that’s a bad thing.” Hummmmm, my daughter, my princess my pride and joy is unhappy. 

A new Islamic group emerges

Yeah, so i heard. I'm really hoping and praying its not true.
I got the information from my friend who resides in Kano and is planning to do a write up on the security situation in Nigeria.

My source says there is a new group emerging in northern Nigeria called Kalo-Kato. They were discovered in Uregi-Kongoma and Kwana-mariga districts of Rafi Local Government in Niger State. The Group's leader has been named Abdulkadir Suwaba.

According to reports, this group came into Nigeria just before Ramadan and have been alleged to go about spreading " contaminated Islam". Their message to Muslims is to disregard "hadith" and the teachings of Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W).

As of now, no terrorist attacks have been attributed to them.

Im using this medium to urge Nigerians to please report strange movements and faces within their vicinity. The peace and stability of Nigeria is our collective responsibility.
