School fees up by 100 per cent, parents jolted<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When Jide Akerele got the bill and the list of textbooks brought home by his daughter who got promoted to Senior Secondary School (SSS) 2 in a private school, two things shocked him.<\/p>\n

First was the significant increment in the fees and also the caveat put in front of the column regarding the cost of textbooks. The management of the school said students should come back by the end of August to know what the market would be like before the school would determine how much to pay for textbooks.<\/p>\n

Trying to have an idea, Akerele took the list to a bookshop to find out the cost of some of the listed books. He was surprised at what he found out.<\/p>\n

Be patient with Oborevwori, Onuesoke urges Deltans<\/p>\n

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and former Delta State gubernatorial candidate, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has urged Deltans to exercise patience with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, as he executes his lofty plans for them.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists in Warri, Onuesoke noted that the governor has outlined his agenda which seems intent on building on the gains of the S.M.A.R.T agenda to give the people M.O.R.E in terms of socio-economic development.<\/p>\n

He recalled that Oborevwori made his point clearly in his inaugural address where he noted that he represents consolidation and advancement; consolidation because he is continuing from where the previous government stopped, and advancement because he is advancing the state to greater heights.<\/p>\n

Onuesoke noted that the governor\u2019s master plan begins with an understanding of the strategic intent behind the M.O.R.E. agenda as well as the expected outcomes and what will successful implementation look like in four years.<\/p>\n

Senator Ireti Heeba Kingibe represents the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, in the Senate on the platform of Labour Party (LP).<\/p>\n

In this interview, Kingibe, who identifies herself as the symbol of the FCT, speaks on the state of the nation, the cost of running government which many believe is huge and the screening of ministerial nominees by the Red Chamber among other issues. Excerpts:<\/p>\n

The Senate confirmed 45 ministerial nominees while three were not confirmed. One of them is a woman. Can you give us an idea of the real reasons why they were not confirmed?<\/p>\n

Well, we were told that they were being cleared, that their security clearance has not come through yet. Obviously, without that we had to wait. We confirmed the other people. We had screened them all, but we did not confirm the last three.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m only attracted to goal-driven men \u2013 Blessing Akinola<\/p>\n

Nollywood actress, Blessing Akinola who has featured in films like Saamu Alajo, Ajanaku, Igboya, amongst others, has declared that her interest in men goes beyond mere looks.<\/p>\n

She describes herself as a sapiosexual, someone who finds men of higher intellect than hers attractive.<\/p>\n

In a chat with Potpourri, she said, \u201cI\u2019m naturally a sapiosexual person. I like men that are goal-driven, have a good sense of humor and dress well. I have never made a first move towards the opposite and I never will, no matter how attracted to the person I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

Akinola, who grew up in Ilorin but hails from Ondo State says she doen\u2019t have any particular role she loves to play as she is open to interpreting any role given to her.<\/p>\n

\u2018I believe a good and professional actor should be able to interpret any role or character. My mission is to be an exceptional film-maker and role interpreter of unmatched excellence. And also, to have the privilege of aspiring actors to believe that they can live their dreams regardless of whatever circumstances surrounding them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
