•Simon Odo, a.k.a Onu Uwa By IKECHUKWU ODU The popular Enugu’s native doctor, Simon Odo, a.k.a Onu Uwa, has explained that most men die untimely due to pressure from bad wives. While explaining why he married the 58th wife recently, Odo, who is also known as the ‘king of satan’ said he could not stomach insolence and unruly behaviours from women folks, adding that he marries new wife anytime he was let down by the attitude of his wives. He spoke during an exclusive interview with Vanguard at his country home, Aji, in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State, yesterday, saying “I marry anytime any of my new wives insult me.

  The federal government has called on “frustrated” Nigerian youths to remain in the country instead of travelling abroad to take up menial jobs to survive. Specifically, the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) advised Nigerian youths to shun the ‘Japa syndrome’, saying it does not guarantee a shortcut to affluence. Olusegun Runsewe, NCAC director-general, gave the advice during a tourism and culture stakeholders meeting on Tuesday in Abuja. Mr Runsewe gave instances where some youths travel abroad to embrace menial jobs, which they found difficult to practice in Nigeria. He said it was high time the ‘japa syndrome’ was addressed as he urged the youth to remain creative and work on being self-employed. The NCAC director-general noted that travelling abroad did not allow for automatic affluence. “It is our duty to culturally guide the country, our youths are frustrated due to the state of the economy, but it is not enough to travel out of the country to embrace menial job...
