Story : One mistake can not make you less man

By
Loadedchuks.com 



A 30-year-old man visited his old father who could no longer see very well. As both of them sat in front of his house chatting, a dove flew in and perched on the window. The old man asked his son, "Is that a dove that perched on the window?". The son replied, "Yes dad". After a short while, he asked the son the same question a second time and got the same answer. When he asked the same question the third time, his son became angry and rebuked him saying, "This is why I hate visiting you, you keep repeating questions!" The old man was silent for about 10 minutes, and then he asked the son to go into his bedroom and fetch his old diary. The son did as he requested. Then he asked him to read page 2 of the diary. The words read: "My son is 3 years old today. As we sat in front of the house playing, a dove flew in and perched on the window. My son asked me 30 times if it was a dove. I gladly replied "yes" to each question. I cannot explain in words how happy I am that my son has learned to talk. What a wonderful day to remember!" The young man dropped the diary on the ground, then he cried and apologized to his father. The old man spoke again, "Enough son, one mistake cannot make you less a man, but repeating the same mistake over and over again can kill any man. I've chosen today to teach you the final lesson before I depart this world. The lesson for today is PATIENCE. Always be kind and considerate to the less privileged, this is how you'll stand out in eternity. Be nice to everyone on your way up, you'll definitely meet them again not just on your way down, but somewhere, life is often a repeat episode. Play your cards the way, you will love it played to you.

Breaking : In Kogi Hoodlums invade House of Assembly, beat up lawmakers

By
It was gathered that the speaker of the House, Alhaji Umar Imam, narrowly escaped, but some other lawmakers were not so lucky. The Kogi State House of Assembly was on Tuesday invaded by hoodlums, who disrupted its plenary sitting and beat up members. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Speaker of the House, Alhaji  Umar Imam , narrowly escaped when the hoodlums attacked. The member representing Igalamela-Odolu state constituency,  Friday Sani , was however unlucky as the hoodlums beat him and inflicted serious injuries on him. Oluwatoyin Lawal  (APC-Yagba West) narrowly escaped being hit by one of the big chairs hauled from the gallery into the chamber while some journalists covering the sitting were also attacked and beaten as they scampered for safety. Vehicles belonging to the lawmakers were also vandalised within the assembly complex. The gate of the complex was also locked against the speaker and this enabled the hoodlums to pelt his ve...

Nigerian economy: A hole in my budget

By
Staring at the prospect of a recession for the first time in almost 30 years, Nigeria’s government is struggling to fund its budget, which it hoped would stimulate an economy that is reeling from the impact of low oil prices. A funding shortfall has kickstarted a debate about the future of key state assets. President Muhammadu Buhari has tabled a budget of N6.06 trillion (R260bn) for the 2016 fiscal year. The budget is partially funded by income from oil sales which have suffered since the beginning of the year following the return of attacks on oil facilities in the Niger Delta . Petroleum minister Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu says half of government’s expected income has been lost as a result of the disruption to oil production. To get around the problem (at least in the short term), it has looked for alternative ways to raise funds. And in a surprise announcement, it says it will consider selling government assets such as oil and gas plants, refineries, airports, rail lines and...
