Meet A Female Auto Mechanic- Abisola Sulaiman.
Who says the work of the auto mechanic is the exclusive preserve of the menfolk? Well, not any more. In Lagos, a female mechanic is mesmerizing many men with her dexterity on vehicle engines and parts.
Like Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth 11 who served as a mechanic during the Second World War, this woman, has set a benchmark by delving into a terrain thought to be associated with only men. She has also made a success in this particular field.
Call her a woman of uncommon mettle and unflinching courage, and you would have aptly described Abisola Sulaiman. Like many in her stead who are a huge success, she’s got an unbeatable spirit and mien that boldly speak of her capability with vehicles.
Happy Birthday to Vice President Namadi Sambo- He's 60!
He is married with six children.

On Saturday, the 28th of July 2012 at about 6:46pm, I drove into the new car park under construction at the Oriental Hotel Ozumba Mbadiwe str, V/I Lagos. The “Security” guard stationed at the gate; as usual did not take my plate number, issue me a parking ticket or try to identify the driver of the car as normally done with other guests who drive into that particular car park.

After I had finished work at both events, at around 11:15pm there about I noticed that my car was not at the spot I had parked it on. I and the hotel security men combed the entire car park several times to be sure I did not forget where I had parked and still did not find my car.
BBA Stargame update: Tension as final 6 battle for $300,000 this Sunday
None of the trio of Nigeria’s Goldie, Chris and Ola were able to win the competition this time around after three successive winners have emerged from Nigeria; Kelvin Pam (2009), Uti Nwachukwu (2010) and Karen Igho (2011).
As the final day draws closer this Sunday, August 5, 2012, many believe that any of the six of the remaining housemates; Lady May, Kyle, Keagan, Talia, Prezzo and Wati can win the show. “It is now a game of luck,”
Prezzo and Lady May seem to be the favourite to win the competition. For some, Lady May is gradually taking the place of Goldie, after she was voted out of the house, as some Nigerians believe, courtesy Prezzo.
The housemates formation now has four East African countries and two Southern African countries. This means there is chance of any West African countries winning the competition this around also.
As the final day draws and nearer and the winner of the show is unveiled this Sunday, who among the last six standing; Lady May, Kyle, Keagan, Talia, Prezzo and Wati becomes 300,000 US dollars richer?

Habitual Offender Rapes 95 Year Old Woman!
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the suspect was one of the prisoners who benefited from the special state pardon recently granted by President Jacob Zuma.
There has been a nationwide outcry over the president’s decision to release 44,985 prisoners under this programme despite been aware that the last one was grossly abused.
In the 2005 special remission programme, 157 former prisoners re-offended and had to be thrown back in jail.
Mnikelwa Nxele of the KwaZulu-Natal Correctional Services, confirmed that the suspect was recently released in June under the presidential initiative.
An officer of the South African Police Service (SAPS), Vincent Mdunge, confirmed to the press yesterday that the suspect has appeared at the New Hanover Magistrate Court on charges of rape.
He was described as an “habitual offender” who had earlier been declared wanted for his part in an armed robbery case before the rape incident.
Nxele said the alleged rape was “regrettable and sad”.
Statistics reveal that a woman is raped every 26 seconds in the former apartheid country.
It is almost certain that the alleged rapist won’t be getting pardons from the state any time soon.

Latoya To Family: Stop Fighting In Public!
La Toya -- who's not exactly shy when it comes to publicity -- has been noticeably absent from the media blitz surrounding Michael Jackson's kids and the MJ Estate.
We're told La Toya feels VERY STRONGLY that the most effective way to solve the family problems are NOT to attack each other in public ... but rather hash things out quietly ... and respectfully ... in private.
So whose side is she on? Sources say she's definitely NOT aligned with Janet, Randy, Jermaine and Rebbie ... and wasn't thrilled to see them camera-whoring all over TV this week.
Bottom line -- we're told La Toya wants what's best for Michael's kids ... and feels the quicker the family can stop making a public spectacle of themselves ... the better off the kids will be.
