The Director of Military Intelligence Called Dele Giwa’s House Twice Before the Parcel Bomb Was Delivered
Richard Akinnola, author of The Murder of Dele Giwa: The Answered Question, looks at the final hours leading to the parcel-bomb assassination of Dele Giwa, one of Nigeria’s most courageous journalists. He lays out the sequence of events before the deadly package was delivered, drawing attention to phone calls made to Giwa’s residence shortly before the explosion.

Celebrate The Beauty And Authenticity Of Yoruba Women by posting a video or picture.
Dont be shy. Give your name and Yoruba state of Origin.
Yoruba women are the epitome of Beauty. No women in Africa or Nigeria compares to her in beauty and intelligence.
Yoruba women have glowing skin and radiant complexions; and they are noted for their graceful facial features, including pronounced cheekbones and expressive eyes.
They are fashion pioneers. They have the ability to wear traditional attire, such as the gele (headwrap), with poise and elegance.
We should thank Olodumare everday for creating the Yoruba woman. She is the envy of the world. She is the mother of warriors, scholars, president's and great thinkers.
"Mine is not difficult” is how a blacksmith ends up without a sword.
This Yoruba proverb reminds us of a common flaw.
People often fail to use their own skills, wisdom, or resources to help themselves.
They assume their turn will come later. They think their needs can wait.
The blacksmith forges weapons for everyone, but never for himself.
Not because he can’t, but because he keeps saying, “It’s easy, I’ll do it later.”
Lesson:
Your gift loses value if it never serves you.
Don’t let delay make you lack what you can create.
Apply your strength to your own growth before helping others.
