Today, we’re going to talk about managing your money. But first, let’s get some basic definitions out of the way. Money is used to measure value and is given in exchange for goods and services. Money can be in the form of coins or notes.

Gold, real estate, stocks & shares, a deposit in a current account and other commodities of value are also regarded as money. Your money is an important aspect of your life. The amount of money you have can determine what you do, where you, and how you live on a daily basis.

Immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, who alongside other service chiefs, was sacked by Buhari on July 13, said while he was in office, he headed a military that lacked equipment. He said this during his handing over ceremony to the new chief of Defence staff, Major-General Abayomi Gabriel Olonishakin in Abuja;

"The task of coordinating the military and other security agencies in the fight against the insurgents is perhaps the most complex and challenging assignment I have had in my over 38 years in service. For the first time, I was head of a military that lacked the relevant equipment and motivation to fight an enemy that was invisible and embedded with the local populace.

Tyga says the eviction lawsuit his landlord filed against him is false, because he's NOT a renter ... he's a homebuyer.

For every symptom of head ache and body pain we tell a friend, one consistent diagnosis comes to the fore – “I’m sure it’s just Malaria”. Malaria has become a normalcy in Nigeria that no one takes it very serious.

The statistics of death toll from malaria infections worldwide is increasingly shocking. Bringing it home to Nigeria, the United States ambassador to Nigeria remarked during the just concluded World Malaria day that an estimated 100 million cases and 300,000 deaths from Malaria occur yearly in Nigeria. Clearly, Nigeria ranks highest in deaths resulting from Malaria.

Kenzie Kilpatrick's eighth child was born last week. He is thrilled, showing a picture on his phone of the girl - as yet unnamed - who arrived on Tuesday, July 21, at 10.44am, weighing 6lb 15oz.

He reads out a message from the mother, which says: 'I'm so happy to tell you that our little miracle baby girl is here. All thanks to you. She is beautiful.'.

The 26-year-old looks as proud as any new dad, but Kenzie will play no further part in this child's life. Nor will he be a parent to his 7 other biological children - all born, one after the other, in the past 3 months or the 2 who are due any time now.

In an interview with Sahara TV yesterday, the General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, said he is not expecting to be appointed a minister in President Buhari's cabinet.

"As far as I am concerned, I am not expecting to be named a minister. If I am offered an appointment, when I get to that bridge I will cross it. I am already a minister of the gospel. Ministry is my calling and my life. The word minister means servant. When you expect nothing, you cannot be disappointed. I keep on doing what I am doing, to be a solid supporter of the Buhari movement and what he stands for in public life. I have no regret on what I did in 2011. If an opportunity presents itself, I will do it again. I am not seeking anything.

I was told his name is Kingsley which I am not sure about but his picture is up there with my mum's. Please if anyone has any useful information about my biological father or how to get to him, the person should please email georgeike396@gmail.com. Thanks and God bless.

Read what Alex Badeh said about the Nigerian military in January

At his handing over ceremony yesterday, former Chief of Defense staff Alex Badeh said he led a military that lacked equipment. Now read what he said about the military when he was still in office in January 2015. He said this in an interview with Nigerian Defence Magazine here

“The Nigerian military is very well taken care off. We live in houses we don’t pay accommodation for. We have buses that bring troops to work every day and take them back home. We don’t pay for light; we don’t pay for water. Our salaries are good compared with what is paid in the civil place. If someone with school certificate joins the army, by the time he is five years in the service, his salary has doubled that of a graduate. Why do you think Nigeria is doing that for us?

Read the reaction from Nigerians after ex Chief of Defence Staff Alex Badeh said he led a military that lacked equipment. And to think that many soldiers were condemned to death for revolting over lack of weapons. Sad. More of their tweets after the cut...
