PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DEBATE DATE FIXED. FEB.1 AND FEB.8

By -
The Nigeria Election Debate Group (NEDG)
provided revised timetables for the anticipated
presidential debates to SaharaReporters in an
interview. A NEDG official, with the group for
many years, confirmed that there will be a total
of six televised vice presidential and presidential
debates on Feb. 1 and Feb. 8.
Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate from
the All Progressives Congress (APC), has not yet
confirmed his attendance for any NEDG organized
debate, according to a senior NEDG official. A
letter was sent to SaharaReporters last week
from The Nigeria Group, stating that APC should
be weary of participating in any event organized
by NEDG because of their alleged pro-Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) stance. “NEDG cannot
organize a credible debate…given its current
composition,” and claimed that PDP received the
debate questions in advance.
The debates are expected to feature the four
leading political parties, including PDP and APC,
but NEDG is currently waiting for the list of
established political parties from the Independent
National Election Commission (INEC), a NEDG
official told Sahara Reporters.
It is expected that vice presidential debates will
be held on Feb. 1 and the presidential debates
will be held on Feb. 8. The structure will have 3
two-hour sessions per day, and are expected to
be televised on AIT, NTA, TV Continental, and
Silverbird TV. NEDG is in early discussions with
famed Nigerian broadcast journalist John Momoh
to be the moderator, and will include two
additional panelists.
According to NEDG, the debate times will be
12:00-14:00, 15:00-17:00, and 19:00-21:00 West
Africa Time Zone.

How to get him to pay your bills (ladies crib)

Hello ladies  it's your turn tonight. And thanks alot feel so good to have 9000+ view. Thanks to u guys 1. Don’t  have  any bills. If you’re deep in financial debt in this economy, and you meet a man who also has financial responsibilities, the likelihood that he will want to pay your bills is very slim. Single men have bills also, even if they don’t have children. The only single men without bills are most likely living in their parent’s basement or still sleeping in the room they grew up in. That man can’t pay anyone’s bills or he’d have his own house. And let’s be honest, if you were already dating the wealthiest caliber of men to begin with, you wouldn’t be looking for a man to pay your bills in the first place. 2. Don’t  ask  a man to pay your bills. Men look at women who ask for them to pay their bills as  gold diggers . And that’s me being nice. Men actually call women who ask them to pay their bills  garden tools . Here’s the thing, if you have something you can
