The Airport Cleaner Who Returned N12M Gets Salary Increase From N7,800 to N15,000
It started with galore of scoldings for Miss Josephine Agwu, a mere airport cleaner who found forgotten $28,000 and other foreign currencies totaling about N12m and refunded it to the owner. Some called her dumb-ass, others referred to her as silly, especially as the owner of the money showed how not to appreciate goodness.
She became a subject of mockery, both for people present at the airport who heard of it, and notably on some social media platforms. But Miss Agwu held herself with satisfaction that she did the right thing. Now, her saintly gesture is being appreciated.
Recognition and appreciation
The Lagos State House of Assembly, last Monday, concluded plans to invite and honour her. And her employers have increased her salary from a paltry N7,800 to N15,000 per month. And in her words, “FAAN (Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria) said that they are going to give me automatic employment, but I have not heard from them till now.”
And she added: “On the part of my management, they are happy, all my supervisors. In short, they are doing good things for me. Now, they carry me like egg, even my MD.”
Miss Agwu, a cleaner with Patovilki, a concessionaire handling the cleaning of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja Lagos, found the N12m while cleaning a toilet near the screening point of the departure area of the airport, and took it to the security post.
Patience Jonathan Is An Embarrassment To The Whole Country – Abike Dabiri
In reaction to a statement made by the first lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan few days ago at a PDP rally, where the first lady had said the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate was unfit and brain dead, the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Abike Dabiri- Erewa has described the first lady and her statement as a total embarrassment to the whole country.
“Mrs. Jonathan is an embarrassment to the whole country. The only people shouting her praise or listening to her are the sycophants; outside them, nobody else does.
“She is crude and unrefined. When you travel out of the country, Nigerians keep asking you how we came this bad,” Mrs Erewa said.
Below is what the first lady was quoted to have said initially;
“Wetin him dey find again? Him dey drag with him pikin mate. “Old man wey no get brain, him brain don die pata pata’’, several medium quoted her to have said, including a youtube video.
Women Hurt More Than Men, Due to Both Biology and Bias
You might have heard that men are wimps when it comes to pain. It can make for lighthearted argument, but in fact it’s not true. Women have a lower pain threshold. Take a man and a woman, put a piece of ice on the backs of their hands, and wait. The woman will almost certainly complain about the pain first.
Not all pain is equal, but women are definitely worse off. In some quite macabre experiments, researchers have shown that women are much more sensitive to electric shocks, muscle pain, hot and cold, and chemical pain, such as the discomfort of eating a vindaloo curry.
If this comes as a surprise to you, you’re not alone. According to surveys, two-thirds of women still think that men feel more pain than they do. (Men are far less convinced of that; only one third think they are worse off when it comes to pain.)
And this isn’t some half-witted attempt to make out that men are the stronger sex. It’s a serious call to the medical system to improve the way they treat women’s pain.
Signs of Discomfort
It starts at home. Studies show that women are more likely than men to make an effort to make themselves look presentable or even attractive before going to the doctor. That could be a big mistake.
Nigerians Blast Paul Of Psquare Over Picture & Comment He Posted On Instagram
Etcetera was right when he said that, the fact that some of these celebrities are talented, doesn't mean that they are intelligent. Paul Okoye of P-Square shared the above photo which has attracted serious backlash from his fans.
The photo shows the moment a terrorist organization named one of their members to become a suicide bomber. Any sane person should know that such a photo is insensitive and offensive in this era global terror challenges, but not paul Okoye who shared it with the caption
"I nominate Mohammed for the next suicide bomber mission".
He was obviously trying to diss Gen. Buhari of APC, but Nigerians began blasting him for his exhibition of lack of common sense and he was immediately humiliated to take down the picture.
You see, talent and good looks doesn't necessarily translate into brain! What a shame! It's embarrassing when adults feel that they can just post anything on social media; this was the same guy who shared a photo of his erect joystick some months back on Instagram. SMH.

Drinking From Obasanjo’s Cup Of Wisdom, A Great Thing – Tinubu
National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a teacher of dignity and boldness.
Tinubu revealed that during the period when he, as governor of Lagos State, and the former president had political differences, Obasanjo constantly kept him on his toes.
Tinubu, who also described Obasanjo as a true nationalist, disclosed that he got to later know that all that transpired between them was done out of passion for perfection by the former president and not sentiments.
The APC leader spoke yesterday while giving a goodwill message during the 78th birthday ceremony of the former president, which was held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, OOPL, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
“I am honoured to be here to celebrate with our ‘Papa’. It is just a rare opportunity to pay a tribute to a nationalist, a teacher, a disciplinarian, a tutor in dignity and boldness.

The president made this known yesterday, March 5, while answering questions on an African Independent Television (AIT) programme, Kaakaki.
According to The Nation, President Jonathan explained that in the 2011 election, the votes were split between four political parties which made it easier for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to win.
He said: “In 2011 there were four strong parties. The PDP was strong, the ACN was strong, the CPC was strong and the ANPP was strong. So we had four strong political parties presidents sharing the votes of Nigeria. Yes I agree with you it was easier in 2011 but PDP is still the dominant party.
