Do you believe in witches? Read Ifeoma's story.

By
Dear friends,
My name is Ifeoma. I am from Nnewi, Anambra State. I read Economics at Imo State University. I served in Port-harcourt, Rivers State. That was where I met Obinna. He loves me. I really believe he does; I love him too.
After our NYSC programme, he proposed to me. He was of the opinion that because he was the only male child of his family, that the family wants him to marry early.
As a matter of fact, he has no job and neither do I. His family is well-off financially. He took me home and introduced me to his family members. True to his words, he married me.
Everybody in the family, composed of four girls, the parents and my husband, Obinna, accepted me. Exceptional was the love being showed to me by my mother-in-law. She calls me Adamma; which means a very beautiful woman. She showers me with all sort of beautiful gifts.
As I write this, I am heavy with pregnancy for my husband. But something troubles my mind. I always have terrible nightmares. Most times, I see my mother-in-law pursuing me in my dream with machete; at times, she would turn to a big snake and begin to pursue me. I would stumble and she comes upon me. Before the weapon could hit me or the snake bites me, I would shout in the dream and this often times is heard in the reality.
This is what happens  atleast twice every week. During the day time, I would see a different woman full of love and concern for me.
In one of the horror nights when my husband asked me why I shouted, I opened up. All the while, I was reluctant to tell. He dismissed it as a symptom of malaria.
I was hoping that it will stop but it continued.
My Pastor whom I confided in prayed for me but it did not help the situation either.

I have reported to my parents and they advised me to return to them, that I was being bewitched. I am now confused because I really love Obinna. What should I do?

Tips for Emerging Successful in the English Proficiency Test of the Post Graduate School, University of Ibadan

By
A Focus on the Nature of the Test English proficiency test for the University of Ibadan Postgraduate school was a recent innovation by the Board of the PG School at ensuring quality of the students admitted to the school for postgraduate studies. They stated that they have noticed an unprecedented poor use of English among students of the University of Ibadan; that if such was the case with the students of the prided University of Ibadan, how much more students from other universities that belonged to the lower rung of ranking in academic excellence. They posited that English language was the language of instructions and as such, a test for proficiency for prospective students is to say the least, imperative. The test is a one hour exercise in which you are required to answer 100 questions. To be on a very safe side and finish before the time allowed elapses, you are therefore required to answer each question within 30 seconds. I bet this is challenging; so brace up against it i...

LIMITATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: A FOCUS ON THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATIONS

By
Introduction International relations which was generally seen as relations among nations and entities in the international arena begets international organizations. An international organization is a union of actors in the international arena, formed to perform specified functions and/or solve identified problems for the members and/or non members. The concept of an international organization can also be seen on the one hand as a logical progression in the evolution of political entities from the basic family or tribal grouping of pre- and early historic times to the feudal arrangements of early Europe which emerged following Peace of Westaphalia in 1648 (Imber 1984). A second perspective on international organization is that as being something antithetical to the state in effect an external entity which may subsume or destroy the state. This latter view is held by many chauvinists and protectionists who find the economic, political and cultural mongrelization which they claim...
