here are some comments


"Today more than ever the great Martin Luther King Jr.'s words speak to our deepest need as a nation, "I've decided to stick with love, hate is too great a burden to bear"



"A GREAT LEADER once said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Therefore “Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.” Reminder to self to love and service others!"







"MLK, Jr.’s words have encouraged me in my life to know that despite life & society’s challenges, “the moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice!” So especially in today's trying times I say #ThankYouMLK50


"In times of conflict and division your words still inspire unity decades later. You were the greatest orator of our generation. I am inspired daily by the love and compassion you showed others. You are the true example of selflessness giving your life for others. #ThankYouMLK50"


"Thank you for inspiring people to keep dreaming. We'll never stop"


"And I Replied Dr. King is Still With Us Doing the work in this day + Age because his Spirit, his heart, his ways live in us + are what many of us Carry on this Path to Equality and Justice. We Love You. Happy Birthday To Ya"


"Martin Luther King was a voice for change Let’s keep his memory alive by continuing to inspire change within our own communities"






"Happy #MLKDAY2018. Today we honor Martin Luther King Jr’s fearless fight for equality, and remember how important it is to dream!! Remember that your voice is powerful. Remember that you can make a difference. Spread love today, and every day."







"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. #ThankYouMLK50"




"#MartinLutherKingJr had a dream that his children would be judged by the content of their character, NOT the color of their skin. Honor his dream. End affirmative action."


"One man, countless lives changed. To honor his legacy, share how Martin Luther King Jr.’s life impacted yours with #ThankYouMLK50"

Abdullahi Darma and daughter, Aisha Mr. Abdullahi Darma, Governor Aminu Masari’s Special Assistant on Religious Affairs, is reported to have accidentally crushed his daughter, Aisha, with his car. Punch reported that the incident occurred at Darma’s Katsina house while he was reversing the vehicle. The governor’s aide did not know that the toddler was behind the car. “The car ran over the girl and she died on the spot,” punch said. Darma also posted news of the tragic incident on Facebook, which elicited an outpouring of condolences from sympathisers and associates, many of who also besieged his residence to commiserate with him. “A few minutes ago, I got tested by God. I was reversing my car when I crushed my daughter mistakenly and she died,” he said in Hausa in the Facebook post. Darma was brief in his response on Sunday when our correspondent sought to know how the accident occurred. He described it as “an act of God.” The story is already agog in social media, especially twitt

First European Contact With Nigeria Was 1485 By The Great Benin Empire: Southern Nigeria

The first European travelers to reach Benin were Portuguese explorers in about 1485. A strong mercantile relationship developed, with the Edo trading tropical products such as ivory, peppers and palm oil with the Portuguese for European goods such as manila and guns. In the early 16th century, the Oba sent an ambassador to Lisbon, and the king of Portugal sent Christian missionaries to Benin City. Some residents of Benin City could still speak a pidgin Portuguese in the late 19th century. The first English expedition to Benin was in 1553, and significant trading developed between England and Benin based on the export of ivory, palm oil and pepper. Visitors in the 16th and 17th centuries brought back to Europe tales of "the Great Benin", a fabulous city of noble buildings, ruled over by a powerful king. However, the Oba began to suspect Britain of larger colony designs and ceased communications with the British until the British Expedition in 1896-97 which resulted in a weakne

2019: Why north cannot produce consensus candidate – Junaid Mohammed

How time flies. In the build up to the 2015 elections, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, a leading northern politician, was one of those who campaigned vigorously for the election of Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s president. Strangely, barely three years into Buhari’s presidency, Junaid is now leading the pack to stop Buhari from going for a second term, accusing him of promoting corruption and nepotism. Mohammed: Buhari has failed and should not be voted again In an interview with Saturday Vanguard, he said Buhari should go home and rest instead of thinking of a second term, having failed Nigerians woefully during his first term which is yet to end Excerpts: You must have lifted for joy when both former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida wrote statements on why President Buhari should not be considered for a second term To be honest, none of the two letters came to me as a surprise. They merely reinforced what I have been saying in the last two or three years ago. I have been sho
