1. Stargaze:
Few activities are as romantic as gazing up at the stars together, and you can plan this date for most any night, no matter where you live. If you have access to an observatory (many college campuses have them, so check around), head over to check out the facilities. But even if you don’t have a nearby observatory, you can still enjoy the stars. Grab a pair of binoculars (or just gaze sans equipment) and a map of the sky—and sit in the backyard with some light refreshments, pointing out the constellations.

Sonala Olumhense: Don’t be deceived, Obasanjo is PDP, and PDP is Obasanjo

This is why anyone who believes Obasanjo and Jonathan are really at war does not understand strategy.  Were they truly to go to war, the PDP would certainly surrender the presidency, and many of the thieves who run the PDP would go to jail.  Mr. Jonathan may not appreciate this nightmare but Obasanjo fully does.  He knows where he does not want to spend his final days.

He wrote: “…Politics played by any national political party must have morality, decency, discipline, principles and leadership examples as cardinal practices of the party…Since I stick in my practice of party politics to the hallowed and cherished principles enunciated above…I will consider withdrawing my activity with PDP at local, state, zonal and national levels until the anomalous and shameful situation is corrected.”
The “situation” to which he was alluding is the presence and advancement in the part of Buruji Kashamu, who is wanted in the United States.
