          No matter how many black gowns or outfit you own,people might not really notice it,but they might notice only the accessories you wear.Any time you are rocking a black outfit and you want people to remember that particular black outfit,wear and carry obvious and colourful accessories as seen in the picture of me above.Just because of my legal profession,I end up having alot of black gowns and outfit.To make each black outfit stand out,I wear different colour of accessories for each black outfit anytime I wear them.On sunday I wore one of my black gown I have never worn before,I carried an Alligator light green hand bag,gold necklace set,gold bangle on one hand and gold mixed with rubies on the other hand and a gold wedge slippers.More photos below.

        Dear Nigerians, I am delighted to announce that, after due consultations, the Federal Government has decided that henceforth, June 12 will be celebrated as Democracy Day. We have also decided to award posthumously the highest Honour in the land, GCFR, to the late Chief MKO Abiola, the presumed winner of the cancelled June 12, 1993 elections.      The statement reads For the past 18 years,Nigerians have been celebrating May 29th,as Democracy Day.That was the date when fo the second time in our history,an elected civilian administration took over from a military government.The first time this happened was on October 21st,1979.   But in the view of Nigerians,as shared by this Adminstration,June 12th,1993 was far more symbolic of Democracy in the /nigerian context than May 29th or even the October 1st. June 12th,1993 was the day when Nigerians in millions expressed their democratic will in what was undisputedly the freest,f...

       It would be recalled that in the past few days, activities of secret cults in the State has taken an alarming dimension following a fierce battle of supremacy between rival cult groups leading to loss of lives and wanton destruction of properties. These dastardly acts perpetrated by misguided youths usually under the influence of hard drugs use offensive weapons such as guns, machetes, knives, etc to intimidate, assault, maim and even kill their perceived rivals including innocent citizens in Anambra State.
