• Gen. Yakubu Gowon Says Two Christian Friends in Plateau Betrayed Him in New Memoir

Former Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd.), has revealed that two of his Christian friends from Plateau State betrayed him, saying the experience remains one of the painful memories of his life.

Gowon made the revelation in his newly launched memoir, My Life of Duty, unveiled in Abuja during a ceremony attended by prominent national figures, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, former First Lady Aisha Buhari, former Heads of State, senior military officers, diplomats, and other distinguished guests.

In the book, the former Head of State recalled that two of his Christian friends in Plateau State abandoned and betrayed him, noting that the incident left a lasting emotional impact.

According to Gowon, despite the passage of time, he still feels the pain of what he described as their betrayal.

The elder statesman explained that one of the major reasons for writing My Life of Duty was to correct what he described as longstanding misconceptions and inaccurate interpretations about his life, his leadership, and the policies of his administration.

He said the memoir offers his personal account of key events in Nigeria

  • Three Years After Lalong Left Office, Nigerians Reflect on His Legacy

Three years after the administration of former Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong came to an end, residents and political observers have continued to reflect on his eight-year tenure, with discussions centering on his achievements, shortcomings, and overall legacy.

Across social media platforms and public forums, many Nigerians have been asking a common question: "Three years after the Lalong administration ended, what stands out most to you about his time in office?"

The question has generated diverse reactions, with some respondents highlighting infrastructure development, road construction, educational reforms, and efforts to promote peaceful coexistence during his administration.

Others, however, pointed to persistent security challenges, economic concerns, unemployment, and governance issues, arguing that these remain among the defining aspects of Lalong

The essence of this article is to seek out ideas to embrace the captivating beauty and glamour of red lipstick.

I wear other shades of lipstick, but red lipstick has always been my favourite.

It’s a staple that I personally love to splurge on.

Growing up, I’ll sneak out to buy “tasty-time” because it would make my tongue and lips reddish. 

It was mostly girls’ favourite drink at that time because of its sweetness, but I would rather drink to make my lips red and rub on some vaseline for a glossy effect. That was how obsessed I was with red lipstick.

 You’ll agree with me that there’s an allure, sexiness and confidence that comes with wearing red lipstick. 

 

“You will agree with me that there is an allure, sexiness and confidence that comes with wearing red lipstick.”

Red lipstick became generally accepted and popularised in the early 20th century. 

However, prior to that time, it was often associated with the underground and sexually amoral, the dubious, the impolite, the hostile as well as all sorts of dining guests at the devil’s dinner table.

According to extant research, applying red lipstick can make you look younger because a deep contrast between features is something we associate with youth.

More so, research has demonstrated that the colour red increases the attractiveness of women and that the men spent longer looking at the pictures of women wearing red lipstick.

Red lipsticks are considered to be classic, sassy, retro, bold, dauntless yet daring and powerful.

The red lipstick has been adorned by generations of powerful women, the world over. 

“It is safe to say that, without violating the opinion of anyone,  that red lipstick is the premium  favourite among the varying colour shades of lipsticks.”

The outdated norm which considers red lipstick to be vulgar should be ditched. It has no place in our modern world and obviously lacks any following or adherents.

 A lot of ladies are beginning to embrace more and more vibrant red by the day thereby making its demand very high.

There are several shades that are suitable for all skin types and it’s best to embrace the allure and beauty of this staple.

Red lipstick is one of the most beautiful fashion staples that you can indulge in and here is why:

 

  1. With the exception of jewellery, nothing adds instant beauty, sassiness, sparkle and charm to a look, like a dash of red lipstick. 

 

  1. You can still look modest wearing red lipstick even though your style may be laid back and not allow for the “EXTRA ATTENTION”, the red lipstick freely gives.

Even with your laid back style, the good news is that you can wear red lipstick effortlessly by toning down on the overall makeup.

 

  1. No matter your fashion mood, at some point, you will love to turn up and lighten up your mood. 

Applying the brightest shade of lipstick is the quick fix as it can change your overall mood instantly.

  1. Some outfits have their colours accentuated by wearing the brightest shade of red lipstick, for a dazzling look.

 

What more can I say to you folks?

 

Stay beautiful.
