Annual Clean-Up


Following yesterday's post about the efforts of the Thorntons and Ferrys along the Ormsaigbeg beach, Geoffrey Campbell writes:



Kilchoan Community Clean-up, Easter Sunday 5th April 2015.



Please come and support our annual village clean-up. Come for 10 minutes or for a couple of hours, every extra pair of hands helps.



It’s amazing what a difference it makes to the village.



Meet at the shop at 12 noon, slightly later start time than normal.



Gloves and bags provided and the plan is to finish up at the Pub around 2pm for well-deserved refreshment.

Photos: Kid wonder Ozzy Bosco meets President Jonathan


Sponsored post. Penultimate Sunday at the prestigious Eko Meridian Hotel where Mr President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR) had an interactive grand dinner with Nollywood Stars was characterized with ecstasy as the WonderKid embraced Daddy President. As expected, the glamorous event was jam-packed with crème-de-la-crème in the society who were anxious to spend the evening with our amiable President.








The sensational kid artiste “OzzyBosco Wonderkid” who was the only kid present at the occasion also became the first kid artiste to have direct contact with the number 1 citizen of Nigeria. He received an unforgettable loving cuddle, a rousing acknowledgment and fatherly blessings from Mr President.



In appreciation, the excited child prodigy, OzzyBosco presented his goodie bag containing some awesome works to Mr President and pleaded with him to support Nigerian kid artistes.





Inserts are the duo of the Nigerian international music legend Dr Tee Mac Iseli Omatshola (MFR) and Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, Capital Oil & Gas boss in absolute admiration.





Please watch out for “OzzyBosco Fan Club” coming soon…

Do you want your child to excel in Maths forever


Dear parents,

My name is Adeniran Olanipekun, I recently graduated from Imperial College, London (2nd globally, QS rankings 2014/2015) where I spent 4 years studying for an integrated masters in the Chemical Engineering MEng program. I finished with a first class and was on the dean’s list during my time. Cognisant of the state of education in Nigeria, I started working on Dechelon Academy in my final year at Imperial, and subsequently teamed up with my partner technology firm (www.exolvemedia.com) to develop a revolutionary online learning platform that will blow your mind away and radically improve your child’s grades.







My vision is to radically change the educational system in Nigeria by providing a world-class (but affordable) educational platform offering the full breadth of educational services, thereby enabling your child to compete with their peers globally and come out on top.



I’ve made over 200 maths videos (lessons, worked examples, past exam solutions etc), in which various maths topics are broken down for easy assimilation. I also designed practice tests that will test your children’s understanding, challenge them and expose them to the thought processes required to pass their exams with ease. The service comes with a Q&A feature, so that questions can get answered.



Further, you can monitor your child’s progress with ease. The Activity Report feature details the tests taken by your child, their first score, the number of attempts, their best score and the dates the tests were taken. You will also be able to see which videos your child has watched. The activity report can be accessed anytime on the platform, but is also sent to your email address every week.



Nothing on the market anywhere in the world, offers the level of service provided by my platform. I know all this information is a lot to take in, which is why I am offering a 3-day free trial to parents with children in any class between primary 4 and SS3.



This service can help to repair broken mathematical foundations, build strong foundations for the younger ones, help with exam preparation (Common entrance, WAEC, IGCSE, JSCE, JAMB etc) and much more. The 3-day free trial offer will expire in 24 hours or once the platform’s capacity has been exceeded. If you really want your child to excel in maths forever, then look no further than Dechelon Academy (www.dechacademy.com ).





FREE TRIAL

To get the free trial please fill the sign up form on our website (http://ift.tt/1MUjqxJ). To ACTIVATE your FREE trial please send a text/email to +234 902 946 6701 or contact@dechacademy.com . This email should contain the following:

Ayomikun Ayomide, an SS2 student of Redeemer’s International School, Maryland Lagos won first place in the recently concluded Dech Math Challenge, organised by Dechelon Academy and sponsored by Pedabo(Lead Sponsor), Schlumberger, Palm Prints and The Conduits of Blessings Foundation. The Dech Maths Challenge (DMC) was an online competition and A Cheating Detection software was employed to ensure all the competitors carried out all the requirements for the competition in a manner devoid of fraud. A physical verification was also carried out to establish the winner’s eligibility and competence.



The DMC was held on Saturday, February 7th, 2015, with participants from Dansol High School, Atlantic Hall, Vivian Fowler, Redeemer’s International, Corona, Juilliard Academy and several other schools situated in Nigeria and Ghana. Continue reading at (http://ift.tt/1OiugPT )

Retreating Boko Haram leaves mass of throat-slit corpses in Borno town


According to a report by Reuters, soldiers from Niger and Chad who liberated the town of Damasak in Borno from Boko Haram militants discovered the bodies of at least 70 people, many with their throats slit, scattered under a bridge.



In what appeared to be an execution site for the Islamist group, the bodies were strewn beneath the concrete bridge on one of the main roads leading out of the town. At least one was decapitated. The bodies were partially mummified by the dry desert air, while grass has began to grow around the corpses, suggesting that the killings had taken place some time ago.





Damasak was seized by the Islamist group in November but recaptured by troops from Niger and Chad on Saturday as part of a multinational effort to wipe out the militants.



Chadian soldiers, who said the bodies were discovered on Thursday, spoke of at least 100 corpses in the area around the dry river bed. A Reuters witness was able to count at least 70.



A strong smell of decomposition in many parts of town suggested there could be more bodies concealed there, the Reuters witness said.



A trail of blackened blood was visible along the side of the bridge facing the bodies, suggesting they had been thrown off the side after being killed. Among the dead was the imam of the town.



All but around 50 of the town's residents had fled by the time Damasak was recaptured. Those who remained were mostly too old or too sick to leave.

Dear LIB readers: My fiancee does not like sex


From a male LIB reader


My name is Ezekiel Amadi, I have been dating this girl for over three years now all I get is " I hate sex". At first I thought she was just forming but as time went on the problem persist. She always tells me "if I give you too much sex u will get tired of me" I love her so much. Even when I get angry she just manage to go once and that is all for the whole month. I thought she has been seeing someone else but I discovered am the only one so I went ahead and engaged her. That same month I engaged her she told me that the reason why she hates sex was that "she was forcefully raped by her boyfriend when she was a teenager and she lust her virginity then" So anytime she has sex with me she still remembers that and that sex makes her remember every bit of what happend that day.



After telling me this she promised to be having it with me. Now my worry is she does not initiate it. She does not like foreplay. Always saying not in the mood. I love this girl but should I marry her? How do I cope with this sex thing if I marry her?
