BY FUNMI OJUROYE, 23 JULY 20

Yenagoa — Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State has appointed 18 year old Miss Anna Ebiere Banner winner of the 2013 Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria MBGN pageant as his Special Assistant on Culture and Tourism.
The Nigeria Beauty Queen who is also Miss Bayelsa is billed to represent Nigeria at the Miss World pageant later this year in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The event which was held at the Banquet Hall of the Bayelsa Government House in Yenagoa was keenly contested by 32 contestants drawn from across the country.
Ebiere Banner defeated her closest rival, 19 year old Miss Imo State, Stephanie Okwu to emerge the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria MBGN.
Okwu Stephanie emerged as first runner up. Others include second runner up, (Miss Adamawa) Powede Lawrence was second runner up while Miss Kaduna, Enoma Agboniko clinched third runner up.
Miss Abuja, Imelissa Devidal who could have given the Bayelsa beauty a serious challenge for the coveted prize emerged as fourth runner up due to her poor showing in the question and session.
An elated Dickson who redeemed his earlier promise of proclaiming the winner as honorary citizen of the state said, "I had intended to proclaim or announce the winner as honorary citizen of this state and since you are a (Anna Ebiere Banner) natural citizen, an indigene of this great state I would announce the second bit of it, which is that henceforth as long as you are the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2013, you will also in addition to your other responsibilities be my Special Assistant on culture and tourism."
In the same vein the governor chose the Beauty Queen as the state's ambassador on culture and tourism.
The governor reiterated his desire to make the state the tourism hub of Nigeria and Africa.
"Playing host to these two historic events, the prestigious Africa Movie Academy Award AMAA and MBGN awards within a space of just four months gives credence to the the fact that Bayelsa State is fast growing to become the next tourism hub of the country and Africa," he said.
According to him, it was a testament to the existence of peace and security in the state adding that his "restoration government is geared towards the promotion of gender equality as enunciated in the national gender policy of the country."

Why do you want to kill yourself?

Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell  you  dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying and sissy won’t wake up....

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo There are strong indications that efforts by the Peoples Democratic Party to make former President Olusegun Obasanjo to have a rethink  on his decision to stay away from the party’s activities  have failed.  Investigations on Thursday showed that Obasanjo insisted when the new PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu visited him on January 26, that Jonathan  must  honour his alleged promise in 2011 not to contest the 2015 presidential election. A very reliable  PDP national officer  confided in  The PUNCH that  Obasanjo also  gave  other conditions that the new leadership of the party must meet before he would have a change of mind.  They include the restructuring of the party as well as   the correction of the  anomalies relating to the removal of Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the national secretary of the PDP  and Bode Mustapha  as  national auditor in early...

Many Nigerians have since reacted in different ways to the private session which they had in the Wii hours of the night in the Big Brother Double Wahala house. Famous music producer, Don Jazzy also joined the bandwagon as he recently mocked the lovers for their special moment in the house.
