• 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

Why the timeless elegance of a black dress captivates us is in plain sight. The reasons why we are captivated by the timeless elegance of the black dress are eternal and enduring. 

Black is known for prominence, style, and class in most eventuality. You have to ask a woman to imagine the dress of their dreams, and the popular response will be an extravagant black dress. 

To be quite clear, a black dress is not just a mere dress but a classic, and its essentiality remains unchanged.

A black dress is a fashion staple that bestows grandeur, beauty, elegance, and sophistication upon the wearer, so we remain captivated.

So many haute couture pieces, classic vintage styles, work wear, and quintessential designs have been made into the classic black dress.

Little wonder designers like to design them, celebrities love to endorse them, style enthusiasts love to indulge in them, style pages love to have them featured, and stylists like to style this fantastic timeless classic.

The elegance, beauty, and details embedded in the black dress are always brought to life by beautiful women, which other clothing items cannot effortlessly give.

Styles come and go, seasons change, lives change, and everything changes, but the  black dress keeps surviving and unchanging.

It remains a classic and a great one, something more than itself.

The classic black dress has made history and keeps making history. No single item of clothing has been meticulously designed, like a black dress. It keeps getting transformed while its essential vigour remains unchanged.

So many designers have been inspired by the lavish history of exquisite black dresses.
