We aimed to impact the lives of Nigerians who have been deprived of great smiles due to their dental flaws. Today, we are proud to present to the world, the three winners of Project Smile 2014 Complementary Smile Makeover Program and in addition, the five nominees who were sponsored by the Judges. Collectively, we celebrate the eight candidates of this life transforming smile makeover program. Indeed we have delivered on the FDI World Dental Federation theme of ‘Celebrating Healthy Smiles’ as promised”.

According to Dr. Amy Traore-Shumbusho, Initiator, Project Smile, the 2014 edition recorded a high number of entries owing to the support from sponsors like Medplus, Beatfm, Classic Fm, NaijaFm and Major Sponsor Oral B

If you cannot lie, get out of politics- Niger state governor

Governor of Niger state, Aliyu Babangida says that one has to tell lies to survive in the political scene of today, adding that there is no morality in politics. He says if anyone wants to pursue morality, they should go and become Imams or Pastors. The Governor stated this while inaugurating the PDP guber campaign committee in Minna the state capital yesterday January 5th. "If you cannot lie, get out of politics. Anything you are involved in has its own rule. You are in politics to win, win first and let other things follow. Don’t be the one crying louder; lest you will be the one ‎they will take to court. If you are talking of honesty or morals, go and become an Imam or pastor. Politics cannot be the way it used to be.
