With social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and Keek and Instagram, our youths do not bother to work hard for fame and success anymore. And who can blame them, when girls instantly trend just by posting nude photos on Twitter and Instagram, they get worldwide attention just by posting a Youtube or Keek video- it just seems like the perfect answer for fame-obsessed young women.

4 July, 2013 Local       The new scheme for public transport services introduced by the Federal Capital Territory Administration to cater for the daily influx of people into Abuja does not seem to have achieved the desired goals.  The scheme was designed to improve transportation in the city so as to enable commuters to get to their destinations safely and in good time.

Needless to say that the policy led to the banning of commercial mini-buses, popularly known as Araba, from operating in Abuja and its environs.
