These images are not good for GTBank corporate social image, the bank should not be an avenue where citizens contact the virus or spread it. The bank should develop a crowd control mechanism to prevent this, as its way long anticipated that something like this could occur.

While on the other hand citizens should be mindful of themselves, most all transaction be carried out at the banking hall? can't some activities way? The next 14days is crucial in spreading or containing this virus as the ease down continues.

Muhammad Sanusi II, the emir of Kano, says northern Nigeria needs to move on from the 13th century mindset of Islam, emphasising that the rest of the Muslim world has moved on.

Speaking to the theme ‘promoting investments in the midst of economic challenges’, Sanusi said northern Nigeria has not been paying attention to providing necessary education for the girl child.

“We are in denial. The north-west and the north-east, demographically, constitute the bulk of Nigeria’s population, but look at human development indices, look at the number of children out of school, look at adult literacy, look at marternal mortality, look at infant mortality, look at girl-child completion rate, look at income per capita, the north-east and the north-west Nigeria, are among the poorest parts of the world,” Sanusi said.

“As far back at 2000, I looked at the numbers, Borno and Yobe state, UNDP figures, Borno and Yobe states, if they were a country on their own, were poorer than Niger, Cameroon and Chad.

“Nobody saw this because we were looking at Nigeria as a country that averages the oil-rich Niger Delta, the industrial and commercial-rich Lagos, the commercially viable southeast, and you have an average.

“Break Nigeria into its component parts, and these parts of the country are among the poorest, if it were a country. And we do not realise we are in trouble.”

He said books preaching love were being burnt in northern Nigeria, calling for better interpretations of Islamic views, which can drive a better life for women and the girl-child.

“We need to understand the roots of the problem of northern Nigeria. Burning books, it happened in Kano, what is the crime of those books? They were writing about (love), and love apparently is supposed to be a bad word,” he said.

“In a society where you don’t love your women and you don’t love your children, you allow them to beg, you beat up your women, why should anyone talk about love?

“We have adopted an interpretation of our culture and our religion that is rooted in the 13th century mindset, that refuses to recognize that the rest of the Muslim world has moved on.

“Today in Malaysia, you wake up and divorce your wife, that is fine. But you give her 50 percent of all the wealth you acquired since you married her. It is a Muslim country. In Nigeria, you wake up after 20 years of marriage, you say to your wife, ‘I divorce you’, and that’s it.

“Other Muslim nations have pushed forward girl-child education, they’ve pushed forward science and technology. They have pushed forward the arts. We have this myth in northern Nigeria, where we try to create an Islamic society that never existed.

“We are fighting culture, we are fighting civilization. We must wage an intellectual war, because Islam is not univocal; there are many voices, there are many interpretations, there are many viewpoints, and we have for too long allow the ascendancy of the most conservative viewpoints.”

This is coming about a mid term in the tenure of this administration, though its never too late. Hopefully it will be judiciously followed and regular review will be required to confirm the objectives are being met.

Happy Birthday Mandiba. You are truly the symbol of Freedom and the first living black man on earth. Many more years to come.

Take this candid advise. Proceed with your DE and obtain your degree. HND holders faces many hurdles to progress after, while it is much more easier for Bsc holders.

I watched this video, and i was moved, so many unsung Nigerian heroes. May their soul rest in peace.

In as much as new Airport is good, but Lagos State government should bear in mind that they will still have to work with Federal Government agency like Customs, Immigration, NDLEA, FAAN etc. These multiple organisations are bane of problems at the airport. Food for taught.

Two weeks after accusing Nigeria Under-17 captain Fortune Chukwudi of being an age cheat, Adokiye Amiesimaka has released a picture said to have been taken in 2002 of the player with his Sharks feeder teammates that year.

In the photograph, Chukwudi is shown standing fourth from left and looking almost exactly the same as he looks now.

Standing third from right is Belema Fenibo, who went on to play for the Sharks first team until last season when he joined Ocean Boys.

Standing to Chukwudi's immediate left is James Peter, who played for the Sharks first team until two years ago and to his immediate left is Oyinkuro Sinclair, son of former Sharks and Super Eagles coach Monday Sinclair.

James Peter, who played for Sharks until two seasons ago, is the player to his immediate left.

Amiesimaka then went further to make the startling disclosure that the player could even be older than he originally alleged him to be.

"His colleagues and former school mates now say he may have even lied to me. That he was actually older than the 18 he told me in 2002."
