Aisha Buhari pays condolence visit to the Awolowo family

By

The wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has described the late Awolowo’s wife, Hanna Idowu as “a remarkable mother, wife and a fountain of inspiration.”

Buhari, who was paying a tribute to the late Mrs. Awolowo in the course of a visit to the deceased’s grand daughter, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, the wife of the Vice President, said it was “impossible to recall Chief Awolowo’s impressive political record and contributions to our democratic development without recognising the significant role the late Hanna Idowu played in his successes in life.”
At 100, the wife of the President said the late Mrs. Awolowo had lived a fulfilled life and left indelible footprints on the sands of time.
She extended her condolences to the family, the government and people of Ogun State over the death of “an extraordinary woman that deserves extraordinary accolades.”

He stumbled to the door and found a six-foot cockroach standing there. The bug grabbed him by the collar and threw him across the room, then left.

SHORT BUT SAD STORY: The Scorpion And The Turtle

By
O nce upon a time, the scorpion wanted to cross the river. It noticed a turtle on the rock and begged the turtle to ferry it across the river where it could find some succulent green vegetation. The turtle asked, "How can i be sure you will not sting my neck?" "Don't be silly," the scorpion shouted back, "If i did that, we would both drown." The turtle was persuaded and so they both swam (with the scorpion strapped to the turtle's back) towards the green vegetation. When they were almost at the end of the river, contrary to its promise, the scorpion stung the turtle on the neck. Struggling to make it to the riverbank and gasping, the turtle with a look of betrayal asked the scorpion, "Why did you do this to me?" Jumping off from the turtle's back to safety on the land, he replied, "I thought you might dive under the water and drown me." What did you learn guys? I learnt that people find it very hard to trust others.
