Who knew such a whimsical man like Charles Oputa could bring up a child who has no tattoo, no piercing, no jewelries, no power bikes and no strangeness. And looks super handsome..
What baffles me is how he managed to evade mainstream media or the blog-sphere. See more photos bellow.
A nation which is seen by a lot of people as the titan of Africa, is an oil-rich nation situated on mid-Africa’s Atlantic coast, or as it is regularly portrayed, West Africa. It is the most populous nation in Africa and the eighth biggest Nation by population on the planet. In the event that Nigeria is to truly experience its desires of rising an extraordinary nation, then it can’t disregard the expanding significance of the Internet in communications, training, business and trade. As of now this noteworthiness is been reflected by the increment in the quantity of cybercafes, ISPs and various Internet based organizations in the nation.
The Internet has impelled the financial and social development of most developed countries and the same impacts are being seen in numerous developing countries. Be that as it may, as reported by Internet world details, Internet entrance in Nigeria remains at just 7.2 percent. Despite the fact that exceptionally poor for a nation priding itself as the goliath of Africa with a tremendous populace of more than 150 million individuals, its potential for development is monstrous and hence positive.
The development of Internet in Nigeria is restricted, contrasted with what is realistic in developed nations. As indicated by late overviews led by one of Nigeria’s principal techonolgy research and managment companies organizations E-shekels limited on effective engagement of the Internet for improvement, has uncovered that individuals were just prepared to utilize an innovation device on the off chance that it enhances their lives. The exploration likewise expressed that there were incredible interest for the Internet offices in Nigeria, yet because of various impediments those requests couldn’t be satisfactorily met. Some of these deterrents impeding ICT and Internet development in Nigeria are listed bellow.
1.) LACK OF POWER SUPPLY –
There is limited and unsteady power supply in the country when compared to the rate of supply in other parts of the world. This has served as one of the major problems hindering Internet growth in the country. The Nigerian government keeps announcing the need for foreign investors to invest in the country without understanding of the fact that no investor would like to push resources, where he would he running at extra cost in energy generation. That is exactly the position of Nigerian investor. Nigeria government has done virtually nothing to ensure steady power supply, her privatization of the PHCN and the change of name to EEDC has not solved the problem. To access the internet fully and steadily, a steady power supply is a criterion, which unfortunately has not been tackled, and this has led to a limited use of the internet by many who desire to use it. With very unreliable power in the country, operators are left with no choice but to acquire and rely constantly on generators; expending huge gallons of fuel daily, in order to distribute internet to offices, homes, or cafes for subscribers. The epileptic power situation in the country has further compounded the woes of the few ISPs and Cyber cafes operating in the country.
2.) POVERTY –
Nigeria is a developing country consisting mainly of poverty-ravaged people who cannot afford three square meals a day. There is high cost of feeding, education, and health in the land. The poor ones will rather not waste their little income to access the internet when they have their priority as food, clothing and shelter. Many cannot afford to own a PC at home, even the fairly used ones being shipped from developed countries; talk less of engagement in internet connectivity for research and exploration.
3.) HIGH LEVEL OF ICT ILLITERACY –
“Illiteracy is a defect,” says the white man’s adage. The high rate of illiteracy in the country is another ugly trend that is hindering the growth of internet use in Nigeria and this has contributed to the decline in the use of this super facility. People are ignorant of what the internet is all about, its uses, applications and benefits in solving their problems. Most people gave not seen a computer before, not to talk of understanding internet concepts. There are other obstacles; just pause, think, and definitely you must remember a few factors you can discuss vividly as an obstacle to growth in Nigeria. Although it must be said that ICT knowledge in Nigeria is growing and being embraced, yet there remain a large majority of rural population that has not seen firsthand, the immense benefits of the internet.
4.) HIGH COST OF GETTING INTERNET – Internet doesn’t come cheap in Nigeria. As it stands, it is arguably the preserve of the rich who often times than one, have access from their homes. One of the reasons for the high cost of connecting to the internet is the costs involved in using satellites due to a lack of cable infrastructure. Most Internet traffic in Nigeria often times needs to be routed by satellite via North America and Europe Website.
5.) LOW SPEED AND TIME-CONSUMING INTERNET – Out of 10 million estimated Internet users in Nigeria, broadband users are few. High-speed broadband requires fiber optic cables. The situation should, however, improve as there are a number of projects underway to connect African countries with the rest of the world through undersea cables which is hoped will eventually lead to affordability and fast internet speed.
6.) INCREASING COMPETITION – Traditional internet service providers are beginning to face increasing competition from internet services offered by mobile operators. The introduction of 3G services in the country has enabled many Nigerians to access the internet through mobile devices. Meanwhile, access to telecom services isn’t necessarily reliant on new cabling. While only 4 percent of people in the country have fixed telephone lines, 30 percent have cell phones.
7.) LACK OF INTERNET READY PCS – Nigerians are not provided with Internet-ready PCs as done in the advanced countries. Though Zinox Computers, a computer manufacturer and a leading CDMA telecom operator are joining forces to make this available, and other efforts are currently being made, much of this still remain in the doldrums.
8.) YAHOO-YAHOO – Another of Nigeria’s Internet problems is the growing internet culture among Nigerian youths representing more than 80 per cent of Nigeria’s population – Young minds due to lack of awareness, low number of Nigerian website on the internet, lack of Nigerian specific e-payment system and poor e-learning culture throng cyber cafes only to check their email accounts, visit pornographic sites, shop online with stolen credit cards and so many other negative vices that has come to be known as YAHOO YAHOO!

It can be a painful and frustrating experience if you find it difficult to sway your neck from side to side especially when it leads to a headache, reducing your ability to concentrate.
Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 hotel booking portal shares 5 things you should stop doing to check stiff neck.
Overloading your backpack
Whether you are hiking or going on an adventure in the mountains of Taraba, you don’t need to overload one backpack with everything you need. Rather than carrying excess baggage, distribute it among your adventurous friends or pull a cart along with you on the journey to lessen the pressure.
Wearing a bag on one shoulder
Wearing your bag on one shoulder can put unnecessary pressure on it, in the long run, this can result in serious neck pain. It is best to wear your bag on two shoulders and walk with a steady gait while at it.
Holding your phone with your shoulders
Your shoulders are not for receiving calls. But, this habit is rampant among many phone users who use this part of their body as a prop while making or receiving phone calls. If this habit helps you multitask, it is helpful to put all other duties on hold while speaking over the phone and resume after speaking.
Pay attention to your posture
The way you sit, stand and walk can determine if you will have an amazing posture. This also applies to a stiff neck. If you sit or walk haphazardly, your neck will bear the brunt because it is located between your back and head. As a solution, exercise often to achieve a posture that will not trigger neck pain.
Doctor’s office
If you suffer from a stiff neck frequently, pay your doctor’s office a visit. Severe neck pains can lead to headaches, nausea, vomiting, night sweats and the inability to fall or stay asleep.
1. You Do Not Meet Basic Attractiveness Levels
Young ladies care about looks.
Yet, fortunately for us, not as much as we do…
There are some basic rules that each of us need to have to verify that we are not being excluded as potential sweethearts because of our appearance.
Try not to be fat
Supposing sensibly, what does being fat demonstrate a potential sweetheart young lady?
It demonstrates that you over consume (see reason 2) and that in the event that we were back on the fields of Africa (the time that a lady’s qualities have advanced to characterize attractiveness), what is the probability that you would have the capacity to accommodate her and her kids?
The solution is very simple: develop better havits, find out about nutrition and start to enjoy exercise.
Wear great cloths
Presently this one is harder to legitimize from a transformative point of view so I won’t attempt, you will simply need to trust me, young ladies like fellows that have some thought of fashion.
Read fashion web journals and after that make a head to get some thin pants.
Be very much prepped
On the off chance that you are not very much prepped this suggest to the young lady that you are not able to tend to yourself, not to mention her and her kids?
Along these lines, take a shave, go to a hair stylists for a new trim and brush your regularly.
2. You Take Value
Is it true that you are creating or consuming?
Is it true that you are searching for a sweetheart in light of the fact that it will make you feel better in your miserable and desolate life?
Provided that this is true, I don’t blame you.
It could be contended that standard society profits by a consumer culture. Take more value than you give and you will be very happy.
Notwithstanding, on the off chance that you need to turn the table and can at last acknowledge where genuine bliss originates from you will begin providing value.
What’s more, when you do, you will find that young ladies will tart to assemble around you rather than keep away from you.
3. You Chase
Did you ever play kiss chase when you were more youthful?
Yes, young ladies love chasing young men. They may not concede this but rather they do, they fantasize about it.
On the off chance that you begin chasing that immaculate young lady, you will be assuming her part, the part of the female.
Presently accepting that you are naturally pulled in to ladylike energy (most straight fellows are), the young lady you will be chasing will be repulsed by your activities.
Make a stride back, accept the part of the man and permit her to do what she cherishes to do: kiss chase.
I trust you have now internalised the three reasons that answer the inquiry “why cant’t I get a sweetheart” and have spoken the truth with yourself in the matter of whether they as of now apply to you, and in the event that they do, get the opportunity to work…

“I don’t want to wear bras So men know what to get” – Ghanaian Actress
As indicated by her, impressing any man by putting on decent bras to make her little Bosom s look huge is not one of her worries. ‘My Bosom s are little so what’s the purpose of wearing a bra?’ Efia told Usi.
She added: ‘I will like the men to know what they are going to get should they approach. I don’t want to wear push up bras and shifting things and pushing things just to impress. I wear make-up and all but just so you know this is the small things you going to get.’
While she may be new, the maturing on-screen character known in private life as Andrea Owusu, is as of now standing out as truly newsworthy as she keeps on being romantically connected to Nigerian pop star, Iyanya..
Hmm
Ere body now flaunts what they have.
Pregnancy is a glad event that ought to be praised by anybody sufficiently fortunate to be honored by it. Yet, simply on the grounds that it’s a happy time, doesn’t imply that inconveniences don’t tail it too. While it may be somewhat upsetting for the mother-to-be to get colossally portly, it allows whatever is left of us to respect their strength and chuckle at how horrendously adorable they look when they waddle around. Like people, all creatures have their own particular little peculiarities and idiosyncrasies with regards to pregnancy, yet one thing we all have in common is the means by which charmingly fat we all get.
Orangutan
Much like people, orangutans carry their infants for around 9 months. Dissimilar to people, the young breastfeed for around 5 years and after that leave their mom at 10 years of age – must be pleasant not to need to stress over putting something aside for school educational cost.
Dachshund
Similarly with most little puppies, dachshund pregnancies keep going for just around 60 days. Once in a while their tummy becomes more farther than their little legs, making it amazingly hard to walk – in any event they don’t need to stress over attempting to fit their swollen feet into their shoes.
Elephant
You think nine months is a ludicrously long pregnancy? Have a go at keeping that bun in your oven for a long time like an elephant!
Guinea Pig
While people generally consider rabbits prolific breeders, guinea pigs turn out to be sexually mature at three weeks. That joined with the way that its extremely hard to apparently judge whether a female is pregnant, be mindful in case you’re considering buying one from the pet store – a lot of unknowing client has carried home a guinea pig with some free ones on the way.
Zebra
The stories of a zebra having the capacity to stand up promptly after birth may appear like only an oddity, however it is key for the foal’s survival. You thought the domineering jerks at your tyke’s school have to worry– in any event they don’t need to worry over being eaten by lions.
Squirrel
Squirrels are annoying if for no other reasons than there are so many of them. That’s because the females have litters of 3-4 pups twice a year.
Cow
At the point when woman gets pregnant, she goes to the specialist to figure out whether she is genuinely conveying a baby. Cows get checked by butt-anal palpation, that is the vet sticks his hand up her… well, you know. Won’t be whimpering about chilly ultrasound gel any longer, will you?
Cat
With all of those adorable cat videos floating around on YouTube, every wants their own baby feline furl. But its actually best to wait if you can – cats aren’t fully weaned until about 8 weeks.
Lioness
People like to say that, “it takes a village to raise a child.” When a lioness gives birth, it is incredibly common for the other females in the pride to nurse the young.
Dolphin
Dolphin pregnancies last for about a year, giving birth to one calf. Unlike other nursing mammals, dolphins dispense milk to their young instead of letting the pups suckle at will. A lot easier than bottle feeding and breast pumps, right?
Frog
While most frogs lays their fertilized eggs and never return to them again, there is a certain type of frog that caries its eggs in its stomach. The mother eats the eggs, they hatch, and after they mature enough she regurgitates them to finish growing – as if pregnancy didn’t involve enough vomiting already.
Seal
Like lots of different warm blooded creatures, male seals impregnate various female amid a mating season. Fur seals are known not mate with up to 50 females or more – now that is the thing that you call a baby daddy or aristo.
Ferret
Lots of creatures have defensive impulses that verge on fearsome, yet ferrets have a standard technique for protecting their babies– stripping down them. We’ve all known a couple of moms who’ve contemplated doing that, yet rather for their own particular rational sanity.
Seahorse
There’s a joke that the most common craving a woman has during pregnancy is for the father to carry the baby. Oh, to be a seahorse – the female deposits her eggs inside the male’s special stomach pouch, where he carries them until they are ready to hatch.
Horned Cow
Since they are mostly livestock animals, most people probably don’t think about the maternal instincts of cows. Heifers are known to try and protect their newborn young after years of having their babies taken from them.
Pig
Pigs may appear like sweet, portly, charming creatures – in the 80’s, it was exceptionally en vogue to keep them as pets. What you may not know is that is it silly to attempt and touch a mother’s newborn young – she can be exceptionally horrible and forceful in the event that she supposes you are threatening her babies.
Goat
Like so many mothers, goats (or nannies rather) are extremely protective of their young, especially in utero. Even if a pregnant mother is dying of thirst, she will refuse to drink water that isn’t completely clean.
Giraffe
So you’re worried about having to give birth to a big baby, eh? The average baby giraffe is about 6 foot 6 inches tall when its born!
Horse
While horses get larger during pregnancy, it isn’t until right before they give birth that their belly drops and really protrudes out. If mares wore bathing suits, they certainly be the envy of all pregnant ladies during beach season.
Gorilla
In the world of primates, gorillas are the most intimidating of all the apes. And yet, as aggressive as they seem, they take excellent care of their young – male gorillas are even known to adopt and care for orphaned babies.
