By Dare Babarinsa Yesterday marked the 53rd anniversary when General Yakubu Gowon, (then a lanky lieutenant colonel), created the 12 states that replaced the original four regions of the Nigerian federation. Today we have 36 states. Only Lagos State remains in its original form as was created by General Gowon. All other states have undergone tremendous splitting which may not necessarily have been good for Nigeria. However, the state system remains dominant to the idea of Nigerian federalism.

Gowon advisers for the creation of states were the top civil servants, especially the federal permanent secretaries, he inherited from the regime of General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi. Gowon also inherited three military governors; the Governor of the North, Lieutenenat Colonel Hassan Usman Katsi

He said the rice had been contaminated by pests and therefore may be unfit for human consumption.  The following day, the Oyo State government loaded the rice and its officials headed for the headquarters of the Nigerian Custom Service, NCS, in Ibadan. The NCS however shut its door, saying it was not authorized to receive the rice consignment. An official of the NCS explained that off

A  good friend will always be there for you, no matter what your situation is. Likewise, a good family will always be there for you,no matter what your situation is. But good friends and family aren't gonna run away because you lost money, or because you moved further away. Good family and Friends know that life throws many trials, and they will stick through those trials with you to the end. If something bad happens to them, you also feel bad as well, even if you were not directly affected.     Friendship  needs empathy for it to work.  We get so used to our friends that we become insensitive to the things we say and do.
