From Anini to Shina Rambo, Nigerians have suffered in the hands of notorious armed robbers who have ended badly as they lived their lives on the fast lane.      Ishola Oyenusi   Ishola Oyenusi, popularly known as Doctor Oyenusi, was a notorious armed robber who terrorized the people of Lagos and other neighboring cities in the 1970s.   Ishola Oyenusi and his gang of six were highly skilled in snatching cars, robbing banks, factories, stores and killing people like chickens. Doctor Oyenusi, as he was called, was not a doctor by profession but adopted the title for the fun of it.   The evidence lies in a confession he made few minutes before his execution. He confessed that his parents were not capable of furthering his secondary school education and that was what forced him into robbery. So without having a secondary school education, Oyenusi by no way could have been a medical doctor.   Oyenusi started off his robbery career by snatching a car (whose o...

1. First dates can be overwhelming, so streamline your focus into making the first few moments count. It takes only 12 minutes for you to decide if you're interested in the other person (and for them to decide if they dig you) so bring your A-game the second you arrive. 2.   Take chances. Pushing your boundaries or comfort level can be tricky, but by not doing so you can run the risk of never knowing what could be. Of course you also take a chance by putting yourself out there, but the most important and meaningful parts of life are experienced by living and doing.   3.  Eye contact. Wandering eyes show lack of engagement or interest. However, excessive eye contact can seem creepy. 4.   Don't talk about past relationships.

When we first meet someone, we always...
