REVEALED: How Echocho squandered Afribank resources on Kogi Guber Ambition


Anytime the name Jibrin Isah aka Echocho is mentioned, most people recall that he is serial contender in the Kogi gubernatorial contest. Very few people however remember that he was one of the Executive directors in the defunct Afribank.


As Executive director in charge of treasury and operations, Jibrin Isah Echocho was alleged to be one of the masterminds behind most of the atrocities that brought down Afribank leading to the loss of its shareholders investments.


During his heydays, Echocho was the toast of politicians of Igala extraction because of the reckless way he dished out money, doled out cars, sponsored people on pilgrimage and the likes.


A PDP stalwart, Alhaji Hassan Usman said, "In those days, all it took for a young beautiful girl to make it was to make a trip to Lagos to see Echocho.” He added, “our youth were ecstatic about the way Echocho and his cohorts used to come to town and distribute money at beer parlours.”

Why Married couples are happier than single people-New Study

Married couples are happier than single people, especially those who say they married their best friend, says a new study.

Married couples enjoyed both a honeymoon period of the first year or two after the wedding as well as being supported against stress from work pressure and looking after children or aging parents.

Shawn Grover, a researcher with The National Bureau of Economic Research in Canada said

'There's a lot of stress going on in middle age,'Having someone to talk that out with and having someone to support you in those difficult times can help explain why it's a bit harder for people without a partner.'

Those who saw their partner as their 'best friend' reported the highest happiness levels.
