No matter what tribe or religion we represent, we are all Nigerians. Even as we celebrated our Independence, let's strive for Peace, Love and Unity. We are ONE. God Bless Nigeria. #ONENIGERIA #HAPPYINDEPENDENCEDAY #OCTOBER1ST

It will be be recalled that Emmanuel Ikubese, who came 2nd At Mr World Contest held a few months back at the Riviera International Conference Centre, Torbay, UK, has expressed his crush on Genevieve Nnaji and Rita Dominic.

The Delta State born entertainer had this to say on why he is attracted to these screen goddesses:

Yes, I used to have a crush on Mercy Johnson until she got married. Then I stopped because it is not good to crush on married women to avoid getting into trouble. Then Genevieve, Rita Dominic and Omotola too. I respect hardworking women a lot. I am still looking forward to the movie where I would play a romantic scene like a boyfriend to Genevieve or Rita. I really love those two.”

Check out some quotes and sayings below.

1. “We want to lead a country where people will be less greedy. Where people will know that the commonwealth of Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians, where people’s wealth depends on the people around you. If you become a rich person and everyone around you is poor you are very poor.” — President Goodluck Jonathan

2. “As Nigeria marks its 54th anniversary of Independence on October 1, the American people join me in wishing the people of Nigeria a memorable celebration filled with joy and increased national unity. -— U.S President Barack Obama

3. “Nigeria is like everywhere, really: there are some beautiful places that have been invested in and others that haven’t been.” — Tinie Tempah

4. “Nigeria is what it is because its leaders are not what they should be.” – Chinua Achebe

5. “Looking at faces of people, one gets the feeling there’s a lot of work to be done.” – Wole Soyinka

6. “Nigeria has had a complicated colonial history. My work has examined that part of our story extensively.” — Chinua Achebe

7. “Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. If Nigeria succeeds at democratic governance it will be an anchor for all of West Africa. Africa needs a strong Nigeria.” — Ed Royce

8. “Well, Nigeria has played a constructive role in peacekeeping in various parts of West Africa. But unless and until Nigeria itself is democratic and respects human rights, it too may well be a source of much greater instability as political repression limits the ability of the people of Nigeria to achieve their full potential.” — Susan Rice

9. “Each one of us, and, indeed, all those who aspire to national leadership must bring their own visions, views and styles to the business of reforming Nigeria, and the search for solutions.” — Ibrahim Babangida

10. “There is no country in the world with the diversity, confidence and talent and black pride like Nigeria.” — Binyavanga Wainaina

11. “So many times I’ve encountered people who are just kind of like, ‘Yeah, Nigeria,’ and, you know, thump their chest and seem very sure of, like, being Nigerian. And I’m just kind of, like, I wish I could be that sure.” — Helen Oyeyemi

Nigeria has witnessed development and challenges in its quest for nation-building. The peak of its development was independence and self-rule. Its golden time was during the First Republic. It’s most challenging time is the current insecurity. Against all odds, Nigeria is still a single country under the same leader.

Our dear nation is yet to take its rightful place in the comity of nations. Corruption, electoral malpractice, rigging, bribery, bad leadership, immorality etc still remain an impediment to our aspirations. Economic development and industrialization are gradually staging a comeback again as in the 1960s.

Literacy and educational development are fast becoming more accepted. A lot of young Nigerians now have masters and doctorate degrees in various fields, both in Nigeria and abroad. A lot having the best results in the foreign schools they attended.Civility and civilisation is finding its way into Nigeria. Just about 12 years ago, mobile networks were first allowed into Nigeria. Now , Nigerian is one of their largest markets in the world.

A lot of associations and NGOs are now operating in Nigeria. A lot of them are contributing positively to the development of the country. Many are still underway, as people now see vividly the importance of such associations. Democracy is consolidating its stay. It  is 15 years now since the return of civilian leadership. For the first time 2007, we witnessed transition of power from one civilian government to another civilian administration – that was another milestone achievement. On the contrary, we still have a lot of challenges to overcome if we truly want to be a nation to reckon with.

Corruption still remains a negative factor in Nigeria. The leadership of the country must take it serious. It must be stopped for our nation to be a disciplined and a prosperous nation.Literacy and education must be made free and accessible. Since Nigeria is a mixed economy country, basics like education must remain in the hands of the government. No to privatization of educational sector.

With the population of over 90 million youths from the age of 15-45, employment and jobs opportunities should be made a long and mid-term top priority plan of the both the federal and state governments. Stable and prosperous youths remain the answer to Nigeria’s peace and security. This is because it is the youths that are being turned to political thugs, thieves and even militants that will later come back and fight the government. Other challenges include sectional and tribal sentiments and divisions between Nigerians.

The government should try to unite the people of the country to have a united and strong country..

We remain in prayers for our beloved fatherland (Nigeria) and our leaders. Let God guide them aright and protect us.

Join us as we sing the National Anthem 'modern version' [sic]

Mourinho was presented with four framed certificates at Chelsea's training base in Cobham, Surrey recently after his records - three of which were set at Stamford Bridge - were recognised.

One of those came during his first spell at Chelsea when Mourinho's side secured the most points in a Premier League season (95) on their way to winning the 2004/05 title.

That same season also saw Mourinho's Chelsea team concede the fewest goals in a campaign (15), which ensured the Blues coach set another football record.

The Portuguese tactician then broke another record after the Blues went the most Premier League games unbeaten at home (77) across his two stints in charge of Chelsea.

And, to top things off for Mourinho, his time coaching Real Madrid saw him set a new record for becoming the youngest manager to reach 100 Champions League games at the age of 49 years and 12 days following Los Blancos' 1-1 draw with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in 2012.

After hanging up his new awards in his office at Chelsea's training facilities, Mourinho said: "The fact that I can hang these awards in my office is nice.

"It’s something fun and, as a kid, you could never imagine that one day you would be in Guinness World Records Book.

"I’m now more focused on winning the next game than on what I’ve done in the last 10 or 15 years."
