The name Ulysses means Wounded In The Thigh and is of Latin origin. ... Latin form of Greek Odysseus, from whom we get the word odyssey. (Source: babynames.com)

Can you use the word "odyssey" in a sentence?

What's in your WhatsApp? #Africa

Late Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe said "African education system has surprising outcomes. The smartest students pass with 1st Class and get admission to medical and engineering schools. The 2nd Class students get MBA's and LLB's to manage the 1st Class students. The 3rd Class students enter politics and rule both the 1st Class and 2nd Class students. The failures join the Army and control the politicians who if they are not happy with, they kick out or kill them..... Best of all those who did not attend any schools become prophets or witch doctors and everybody follows them." How interesting.

The Guardian interviews rAPC (Reformed, APC) politician.  If APC can say such, what if an opposition party should talk?

Anyway, there are many sides to the story, and the Presidency's people wrote very well about their own side:

When I think of women, I think of...

...resetting of expectations about who runs for office, why they run for office and where they run for office from ...when you’ve lived struggle, you can identify more ...at a high-tech company and someone who’s worked hard ...activist leadership—in sort of navigating this new dichotomy of how to resist and how to progress at the same time.

At least, #Optimism is better than #sufferhead

@APCNigeria packaged PMB well, presented him to us as SAVIOR, he looked good, we fell for it, now we have fallen into the trick, hard to come out. @OfficialPDPNig is now packaging Atiku as the MESSIAH, most of us are already falling for it. Something is wrong with us, walahi.

With all due respect @atiku Nigerians are preparing to vote you not because they believe any of your promises or see you as messiah. They just want @MBuhari out that's all.

Can Atiku become our political messiah?

Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality

Gender Equality - Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

• Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large
• While a record 143 countries guaranteed equality between men and women in their Constitutions by 2014, another 52 had not taken this step. In many nations, gender discrimination is still woven through legal and social norms
• Though goal 5 is the gender equality stand-alone goal, the SDG's can only be successful if women are completely integrated into each and every goal

Everybody can agree that these are worthy aspirations, right?
