PRESIDENCY 2019 OBIANO HAS NO INTEREST
Okey Maduforo
Contrary to the rumour bruited in some
quarters that the Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano is nursing an
ambition to contest the 2019 presidential election in the country the members
of the public have been urged to discountenance such stories as they are
handiwork of mischief makers.
It has been confirmed that the governor
has no such plans rather he is more interested in improving the welfare of his
people and expanding the frontiers of development in the state. What the
governor achieved in his first term in office is nowhere close to what he
intends to do in his second term and as such does not want to be distracted by
idle rumours of the type making the round.
In the same vein the story that the
governor is threatening that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) will
take over the remaining four states of the Southeast zone during the next
election was unfounded. The word threatening is alien to Governor Obiano who in
the face of provocation during the just concluded governorship in the state
maintained dignified silence. The governor is urbane and understands

25 sexual things to know before Christmas
Thirteen: Never forget that marital sex boosts self-esteem in both the wife and husband at every stage of their career, business or endeavours. Boosting self-esteem is one of the 237 reasons people have sex, as observed by the University of Texas researchers and published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour. That finding makes sense to Gina Ogden, PhD, a sex, marriage and family therapist in Cambridge, although she finds that those who already have self-esteem say they sometimes have sex to feel even better. “One of the reasons people say they have sex is to feel good about themselves,” she says. “Great sex begins with self-esteem, and it raises it. If the sex is loving, connected and what you want, it raises it.”
