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"

Horror: Governor’s aide crushes own daughter

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

Oyinlola, Duke, others unveil Coalition for Nigeria Movement

Image
A new political group, Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM), was on Wednesday unveiled in Abuja. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the move may not be unconnected to the call by former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s charge on the need for a Coalition for Nigeria. The Acting Chairman of CNM, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, who spoke at the unveiling, described the coalition as a movement to salvage Nigeria. Oyinlola, a former governor of Osun State, said that CNM remains a movement and not a political party unless members agree to transform it into a party. He said that the movement came into being in response to Obasanjo’s call for the emergence of a Coalition to help rescue the country from bad administration. Oyinlola was also the former Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), before defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC). He said that the movement would provide equal platform for all Nigerians, especially women and youths. The former governor added that

Second term bid: Like Jonathan, like Buhari

But for Tuesday’s virulent letter from former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, to President Muhammadu Buhari, warning him not to contemplate seeking a re-election, 2019 would probably have been a smooth sail for Buhari. This is not the first time Obasanjo would write or criticise sitting Nigeria’s leaders, since he left office first as military Head of State in 1979 and later as a civilian president in 2007. He criticised Alhaji Shehu Shagari, who took over from him. He also criticised Buhari as military Head of State. Again, when the military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (retd), unleashed his Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) on Nigerians, Obasanjo was up in arms against him and his policies, urging IBB to give SAP a “human face.” When the late General Sani Abacha came on stage and was almost running Nigeria aground, Obasanjo was all out firing from all cylinders. Unlike IBB however, Abacha could not tolerate Obasanjo’s criticisms and it did not take long
