"I Have Not Had Any Sexual Experience" - singer Jodie says.
In a recent interview with the NETng, Kuchi Kuchi crooner, Jodie Odiete says she has never had any sexual experience. Jodie was asked what her take was on sexual relationships and she said;
"Personally to me it is wrong because I am not married. I am not condemning those who do it, this is just my personal opinion. I really should not have an opinion on sex because I don't have any experience. Sex means nothing to me so I can't get into any relationship just because of that"About her dream man, Jodie said;
"I want a man that is my friend. Someone who would stand by me and be there for me. It is hard to find a friend in this dangerous world we live in so I need a friend. My friend should or would be the totality of me. With your friend in your life, there would be a large room of compatibility. To sum it up, instead of saying he should be tall, dark, short, slim, fat and all, he should be my friend, one I can relate with without inhibition".

Jonathan May Sack Abba Moro Over Immigration Deaths.
The
reality of the situation on ground has hit President Goodluck Jonathan really hard. Reactions upon reactions from virtually all corners of
Nigeria since last Saturday have condemned the government of the day for
sacrificing the lives of young jobless Nigerians all because of a “stupid
immigration job”. President Jonathan summoned the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, as
well as the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, David
Parradang on Monday.
Abba
Moro went to Aso Rock with Mr Parradang and spent over one hour in the office
of the Chief of Staff to the President, before they were led to see Jonathan
who cried out that they have rubbished him.
President
Jonathan was said to have told Moro and Parradang who are both from the same
geo-political zone that they should be prepared for the consequences of the
mess they have created for him in a period when the masses are already taking
decisions on who they will vote for in 2015.
A
source told whisperNigeria.net that President Jonathan has been visibly angry
since he saw reports of how it all went down in the various recruitment
centres. The incident really exposed the failure of his government.
After
about thirty minutes, Abba Moro and Mr Parradang emerged from the President’s
office with the Chief of Staff, wearing long faces. In fact, the tension was so
much that they refused to speak to journalist.
