Atiku And Obasanjo Meet For The First Since Presidential Election


Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, in the last presidential election, paid a visit to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Thursday.
The meeting was made known in a statement signed by Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi.
Though Akinyemi disclosed pedestrian details of the meeting, he did not give any detail as to what both men discussed.
“Abubakar arrived at about 12:00pm, had a closed session with Obasanjo and came out at about 1:00pm; observed his Islamic prayers and lunch before taking his leave at about 2:00pm,” the terse statement read.
Atiku and Obasanjo had fallen out shortly before they left power in 2007 but reconciled three months to the just-concluded presidential election.
This is the first time they will meet, since President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, defeated Atiku at the February 23 poll.

Sex has unimaginably helped women empowerment and the fight for equality' - Pretty Mike

Controversial nightclub owner, Pretty Mike , took to his Instagram page to share his opinion on how sex has helped women empowerment and the fight for equality in Nigeria. Read what he wrote below. SEX is one-way women can keep controlling men. That's why you see a 19-year-old girl causing a 45-year-old man to behave like a 13-year-old boy. Sex has done well for women empowerment because women are the gatekeepers of companionship, sex and satisfaction. Men condone very disrespectful behaviors from very young girls of their daughter's age because they are hoping to have sex. So many beautiful and smart women have benefited uncommon favours and placements from powerful men who would do anything to have sex. Meanwhile, men are expected to hustle and die for half the benefits being handed to sexy girls for nothing??. No thanks to men's high sexual drive and the steady overration of sex, women have managed to make the world believe that men want an...
