A 65-year-old community leader from Okhunmwun in Ovia North-East Local Government Area of Edo State, Chief Clifford Osawaru, has raised alarm over threats to his life after youths from the community printed his obituary poster.

Am I too small to please my women?
I
am in my mid-twenties, quite tall but a bit on the chubby side. I’m
however not short of girl friends. What bothers me is my dick. I’ve
compared it with other men’s and
I’ve long realised that I’m rather on the small side.
My
girlfriends have not complained to my face. Are they afraid of
hurting me? Do you think I can satisfy a woman in bed considering how
small I am?

What's wrong with sex-testing?
I am in my mid-20's and have a healthy appetite for sex. I like to know if a man is really good in bed before committing to having a relationship with him.
Most of the time, I sex-test my dates before deciding whether I like them or not. As a result, I’ve broken off with a couple of my dates after having unenjoyable sex with them.

LIVING A LIE
Disillusionment crawls near. If the leaders and Nigerians think it will all be oiled smooth because we deceived ourselves into seeing a messiah, too bad.
Even if he has good plans, it will require a continuum for any meaningful change to come. That is, the leader of change must hand over to another leader of change and the change baton must get to another one of change.
If it took about 5 leaders to systematically ruin Nigerian, it must take about 10, or double the number of years it took those five, before we can see genuine change.
All the arresting and hopping about we are being fed with are frantic effort of people who want to retain their jobs. Corruption is too entrenched in our system and individual blood for Buhari (lets assume he is anything close to a messiah) to perform any miracle that will be an upheaval.
Suddenly, light improved and people remembered files abandoned in drawers. So it was not Jonathan, but you and I who do no have the conscience to play our part until a threat created in our mind manifests.
He cannot do a Jerry-of-Ghana and lacks the depth of character of Chairman Mao and the likes.
We might be just trying to make sense out of this myth we have created of an individual.
