What informed your decision to write the book in picture form? 
I am somebody who likes to keep things. I have information of more than 10 to 20 years. So, when I met the publisher of Royal Times, Engineer Gbenga Adebayo, he asked me about my projection for the industry in few years to come. I told him I really know, but I pray I am still here to make a difference. He suggested I should write a book and I told him I am not an author, I wouldn’t know what to write. However, I told him I have pictures as far back as 1993 when I started. So, he suggested we should tell a story with pictures because pictures, they say, are worth a thousand words.

Governor Fashola shouldn’t have Apologised: Femi Fani Kayode

The deportation of Igbos to Anambra state by the Lagos State Government a few months ago caused snag between the Igbo/Yoruba.  Governor Fashola apologized to the igbos for the incident but Femi Fani Kayode doesn't think he should have apologize.

Femi Fani Kayode statement:

There can be little doubt that the relocation of the 19 igbo destitute from Lagos state a few months ago was a lawful exercise and that it was done in the interest of Lagos state. Consequently I do not believe that Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola ought to have tendered any form of apology whatsoever to the igbo for what he did. The only redeeming factor is the fact that the apology was obviously designed simply to calm frayed nerves and I commend Fashola for that gesture if nothing else. I say this because my understanding is that he apologised NOT for the deportation itself but for ''the misunderstanding that arose from it''. There is a world of difference between the two. I also commend him for admonishing the igbo to develop their own region and to decide whether they are ''igbo before they are Nigerians or Nigerians before they are igbo''.

Why Gym-goers regain weight after a workout

New study reveal that a quarter of gym users gain weight when they start exercising. Gym-goers add weight because they allow themselves a treat after working out.

The survey found that 39 per cent of people burn as little as 300 calories during each visit to the gym making them susceptible to weight gain if they then treat themselves to a high-calorie snack.

The survey found that regular gym sessions gave dieters a 'feeling of complacency' which made it more difficult for them to stick to their recommended daily calorie intake.

It found that 26 per cent of gym users actually put on weight after starting regular exercise.
