Personal security is very important and principal especially this heat period, parents are hereby advised to be watchful, vigilant and conscious of their environment and safeguard their properties from being theft, He said.

Marriages and relationships today are facing challenges that are unique to modern times. Relationships offer wonderful benefits for well-being, life satisfaction and stress management, but none are without their challenges.

These issues can put a strain on couple, but working through them can either strengthen their bond or push them apart, depending on how they handle the challenges they face. Working through marriage problems in a healthy way can be very difficult, nevertheless, respect and love is what keeps a relationship.

Some children do not have an iota of love and respect for their parents, sometimes i sit down and ask myself “is it the fault of the parents or is it the fault of the children or the society? This remain a conundrum as the Ordinary President Dr. Ahmad Isah asks.

Complainants are selected randomly to lay their complaints, the first case to be heard is that of former NEPA staff before privatization.

Unfortunately after some minutes into the journey we had an accident which claimed many life due to the driver’s reckless driving.
