'Anti-corruption war built on fairness & Justice' - Pres. Buhari says

President Buhari says patriotic Nigerians have nothing to fear in the fight against corruption as his administration will ensure justice and fairness to all. Speaking to journalists in Daura after attending Eid prayers to celebrate Eid El Kabir, President Buhari said those who abuse public trust will face justice, in addition to returning their stolen assets to the nation’s coffers.

He thanked Nigerians for supporting the Federal Government policies, programmes and actions aimed at improving security, revamping the economy and combating the fight against corruption.

‘‘We should thank God this year, the reports I’m getting, which is very pleasing, is that we will have a bumper harvest this year. I want Nigerians to realise that what this government inherited after 16 years of the PDP government was no savings, no infrastructure, no power, no rail, no road and no security. Nigerians can see what we have done on Boko Haram and what we are doing to resolve the problem in the Niger Delta. Before the elections, we identified three major problems confronting our country. The first is security; we need to sufficiently secure our country to manage it well. The second is economy, especially job for the youths and fighting corruption which is continuous. For the youths, graduates and non-graduates who are interested in agriculture, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with the CBN are doing something to provide employment for them,’’ he said.

So, you planned to go out and chill with friends, or take your partner out to a social event, but you know, as is often the case during its season, rain has other plans.

Don’t fret, though. You could turn it around and still have maximum fun even without leaving the confines of your home.

Wondering how you and your partner could stay indoors and make the best of the rainy day?

Worry no more, below are the very best ways to enjoy the best of a rainy day with your partner.

Read

Sit on the couch or any other comfortable place that can accommodate you both and read. Just be together. Sit by each other. Let there be some contact between your legs. You both might fall asleep, and that's just fine, really.

Talk

You both have been very busy all week, and there hasn't been much time to talk. Now is the time to. No rush, no hurry. You're in each other's arms on a cold wet day; now open up your hearts and communicate. Tackle an issue that’s been bugging you. Relax. Have a conversation.

Dance

Play a nice slow song and Waltz to it. Wande Coal's 'Ololufe' is a timeless song that you'll find useful here. And if you prefer something a little more upbeat just so you could include some grinding to this exercise, just go on and do your thing. I think you might find 'Darlin' by Stan Iyke and Tiwa Savage of great use. The point here is to just be close to your lover as much as possible.

Watch a movie

Dim the lights. Turn on a good movie. Make sure it's really a good one.

Cuddle

Snuggle up to each other as the rain beats the roof. Let hands and legs intertwine. Share body warmth. Nothing beats this feeling, and cuddles are best shared when it's cold.

Have sex

There's pretty much no avoiding this, and all other activities you have shared will only serve to heighten the mood. Rain is said to be really romantic, so make the best of it. Light candles. Make the kisses linger... slow and passionate. Take your time and extend your pleasure.

If by now the rain has not subsided, please just repeat the whole process again. *wink*
