Why I Like Exposing My Body - Singer, Emma Nyra

Iyanya’s protege, Emma Nyra who is known for always dressing sexy
explained her reason for showing off a little skin photo
“When it comes to fashion, I’m a person who isn’t scared to take risk. I tell people you won’t be young forever, so I don’t mind taking risk and showing off a little skin.

When I’m older and married I won’t
even want to allow myself show off my husband property but right now, I’m single, I’m singing and I’m young so I want to be as comfortable and fashionable as possible. It’s 2013 and people are accepting new trends! I’ll take judgments from some views but
that’s part of being an entertainer, you want people to talk.”

"I Suffered In My Marriage, Had A Miscarriage" - Actress Chika Ike Opens Up

Nollywood Actress, Chika Ike whose
divorce has been finally dissolved
pens an open letter to her fans,
opening up about the physical abuse
she suffered in the hands of the man
she called her husband for five years.

Read below

The past three years has been a very emotional period for me. I focused my energy on work and to build back my self esteem. its been really hard for me to come out straight and talk about this because sometimes I pinch myself to wake up and not believe that I was a victim of domestic violence.

I’ve been through a lot in my life, faced a lot of challenges but this is one topic I’ve tried so hard to avoid and have been waiting for the right time but I have come to a resolve that there’s really no right time because every second of the day,lives are being lost due to domestic violence. I was a victiim of domestic violence in my marriage and that was the singular reason I left my marriage, aside other reasons.
Growing up as a girl.

I was always known as the sweetest kid on the block, before I got married, I have been through some relationships and for once no man had ever laid a finger on me. The first time it happened in my marriage I didn’t understand it because I am not the type of woman a man beats but I guess there are no types. It just happens and no woman deserves it.
As a young girl I
thought it was love or his way of
expressing his emotions,after every
beating he pleads , cries and says it
won’t happen again, once again I thought it was love and made excuses for him.

Over the years when it kept happening consistently I started looking for other definitions for it. I started loosing my self pride,self esteem , self worth, and most painfully I lost a pregnancy (Miscarriage) I almost lost my life in the process then I realised how serious and abnormal it really was.

I have heard and read a lot of
accusations from ignorant people who don’t know my story,I guess that’s why they are ignorant. I was 20yrs old and very naïve to the world when I got married .”
They said I married for money” LOL. I was married to a
corporate guy, who had a 9-5 job in anbank, Lives in a rented 2 bedroom apartment at Egbe.. So do the maths! . I married for love. I did a traditional wedding. A white wedding and a court wedding.

So that’s how much I wanted to be
married forever. For five years I hoped, prayed & wished that one day it will all change.
But the last straw that broke the carmels back was during a heated argument he threw a glass jug to my face and I dogged it and it shattered on d wall. I saw death flash before me and I made a decision to save my life. I left my
marriage.

Am not saying this to draw pity from anyone because we are entitled to our opinions and believes.
I am not also saying this to discourage people from falling in love because its a beautiful feeling and I still believe in it. I am saying this to educate, share and talk about my experience as a victim of domestic violence because it is real.

PDP will win if APC picks Buhari in 2015 –Presidency

The Presidency has said that if the newly registered All Progressives Congress picks a former Head of State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, as its presidential candidate, the 2015 election will be a walkover for the Peoples Democratic Party.

The Presidency was apparently hitting back at the APC, which earlier said that it would be a disaster for any party to field President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 election.

The Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, stated this in a telephone interview in Abuja on Thursday.

He also commented on other APC leaders, including Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufa’i.

He said, “As far as that merger is concerned, the calculation of the Congress for Progressive Change elements is that Buhari will stand for the election. If he stands for the election, it is a walkover for the PDP; so, we are praying that they field Buhari.”

While stating that he had information that Tinubu was not interested in the presidential race, Gulak added that El-Rufa’i did not have the qualities that could qualify him to contest the presidential election.

He said, “Tinubu is not interested in the presidential race. I have it on good authority that Tinubu is not interested.

“El-Rufa’i is not a politician. When we are talking about politicians who are likely candidates, we don’t talk about people like El-Rufa’i. We are talking about political politicians.

“But in all, the President has yet to declare his intention whether he will re-contest or not. When the time comes in 2014, we will know whether he will offer himself for a second term or not. As of now, we are here to work for Nigerians.”

Gulak said that the APC was too young to decide the fate of the President if the PDP fielded him for the 2015 presidential election.

He said since the APC had just been registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission, its leaders must first learn the political ropes before commenting on who should be fielded by the PDP.

He said, “The APC that was just born yesterday should not have the mouth to talk.

“They should mind their own business and face the struggle ahead of them. They should stop focusing on what PDP will do or will not do, that is none of their business.”

The presidential aide said so far, the APC did not have any potential presidential candidate that could give a Jonathan sleepless night if he decided to re-contest in 2015.

FG To Replace 9-3-4 With 1-6-3-3-4 education structure

The nation’s education policy of 9-3-4 may soon be replaced by another one, as the Federal Government has almost concluded plans to change the existing policy to a 1-6-3-3-4 education structure.  The Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqquayat Rufa’i, while announcing the imminent change, said the proposed structure would be a re-modification of the 9-3-4 system of education which came into being in 2009 only when the old 6-3-3-4 was dropped.

This new system, already proposed to the National Assembly, it was learnt, is being planned to include the exposure of five-year-old learners to one-year of Early Childhood Education before they proceed to the six-year basic education.
According to Rufa’i, it is sequel to the recommendations of the Presidential Task Team on Education, which President Goodluck Jonathan had already approved.
According to the minister, 1-6-3-3-4 signifies that the first year of education will be for a child of five years.
The six-year component will be for primary education, while the other three, three and four years would be for junior and senior secondary schools, and tertiary education respectively.
Before this proposal, the nation’s educational system had gone through many modifications.  In the late 70s and 80s, it was the 6-5-4 system that was in place. This system represented six years in the primary school, five years in the secondary school and four years in the tertiary institution.
Again, a shift in policy later came up, and it gave birth to Higher School Certificate, popularly known as HSC, which gave another  two-year stop gap of learning to pupils after  secondary school, before they proceeded to the university.
Later, several shifts in policy thrusts on education had emerged. Nigeria has had 6-3-3-4, and 9-3-4 systems of education.
The 6-3-3-4 indicated six years in the primary school, three years each in junior and senior secondary schools respectively; and four years in the higher institution.
The 6-3-3-4 was modified in 2009, which led to the present 9-3-4 system of education. This was done with the view to including the components of basic, technical and vocational inputs into the curriculum, as pupils were expected to complete the first nine years before proceeding on a career path in the next three years of secondary education.
These modifications, as far as government is concerned, are all aimed at giving Nigerian pupils and students qualitative and pragmatic education. But whether that has been achieved or not is a story for another day.
Stakeholders are, however, divided over the proposed system of education.  While some are in support of the policy, others are opposed to it. Those in support note that it is good as it is already being practised by private school owners; while those opposed to it argue that there is nothing wrong with the existing system. They say it will result to another policy somersault, which they claim had been the bane of education development in the country.
The Proprietress, Mindbuilders Schools, Lagos, Mrs. Bola Falore, says she is worried by the inconsistency in policy formulation in the educational sector. She notes that the government has yet to tell the populace what was wrong with the 6-3-3-4 or the 9-3-4 before proposing another one.
She says, “I believe they introduced the nursery system into primary education for five-year-old children. In advanced countries, children start learning from between ages three and four, and by the time they spend two years in school, they move formally to the primary school.

“Is this what they are trying to copy? My worry is: for how long would they practise this policy if it eventually sails through?”
The Principal, King’s College, Lagos, Mr. Dele Olapeju, says it is a right step in the right direction, stressing that the system started from a private initiative, in which children from ages four and five were enrolled informally in school until they were mature to proceed to primary school at age six.
He says, “It started from the private operators of education in what the Yoruba called Jeleosinmi (which literally means let the household have some peace), in which children were enrolled from age five into the school informally. From there, they start acquiring education, and when they clocked age six, they moved to the primary school formally.
“I think now the Federal Government wants to make it universal, which means it will be a policy for both private and public schools.”
A Lagos-based teacher, Mr. Omoniyi David, agrees with Olapeju, arguing that it is improper to have children of between four and five years already in the primary school, which, he notes, is now prevalent in some private schools.
He says there is the need for such children to have been prepared before they are enrolled in primary school.
He states, “There is need for parents to stop enrolling those children that are not yet six years into primary school. Some of these parents are in such a hurry that they enroll their children straight into the primary school from ages four and five years.
“This set of children create problems for teachers, because many of them do not know their right from their left. This new arrangement (policy) will definitely address this problem to a large extent, if it is implemented in both private and public schools.”
Meanwhile, many Nigerians also have taken to the social media to make their contributions on this new education policy.
A visit to the nairaland.com, one KX querries, “Is the 1-6- 3- 3- 4 going to turn the flooded classrooms to model classrooms? Is it going to provide textbooks and reading materials to the pupils and students?  Is it going to pay the N18,000 minimum wage to the teachers? Is the revised 6-3-3-4 system what the educational sector needs more than the enabling environment for teaching and learning?”
