“Vanguard has always been it’s practice a newspaper that has always aimed at inciting religious violence. This is evidence in their habitual headline and subjective diction in their daily diction.The afore mentioned media outlets has never been secretive rather brazen in taking sides on religious issues. This habitual instigation of people of different religious view against each other is poses threat to the unity of Nigeria and is against the media practice both locally and internationally. Of recent, the approval of females of the Islamic faith to use the Hijab (head over) by the Nigerian Police has been a welcome development on our slogan ” Unity in Diversity”. This is not strange as it’s practiced in other secular states of the world, including the UK, US and Canada. This Vanguard has taken it’s editorial team to incite hatred and steer violence by interpreting it in negative terms. Vanguard Nigeria should be sanctioned, and demanded to pay a huge fine or forfeit their license as an organization.”

I said yes. She rejected me immediately. It was about 12:00am during PDP 2014 Convention at Abuja. No hotel was available anymore. On that day, I started looking for hotel from about 8:00pm. and the only available one we saw about 12:00am has rejected me. I thank God because, I eventually secured one in Gwagwalada with help of a late hour worker taxi man.Alhamudulillah.”
