TREND ALERT...THERE'S ANOTHER T.A.N IN NIGERIA

You all remember the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN ?......aggressively campaigning for the now outgoing President of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan ? Oh well....that TAN is out and another TAN is springing up for the incoming President, Gen. Buhari. And guess what this new TAN is ?....let me give you the expo on the trend alert...lol....it is TREKKERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA ! I am so laughing out loud here....Nigerians will never cease to amaze the world, y'know.

Now, just because a young man, Suleiman Hashimu by name, bravely trekked from Lagos to Abuja to fufill the promise he made about Gen Buhari winning the 2015 Presidential election in Nigeria, trekking business has triggered off amongst Nigerians ! For the fact that this venture has brought the young man Fame, some cash going into his pocket and a meeting plus handshake with the President-elect himself who the trekker honoured with his long walk, Some Nigerians have seen this as a forum for cheap popularity as well as the possibility to get donations from the masses. Now almost everyone wants to trek from his state to Abuja to support Gen Buhari, hahahahahahaha....OMG.

The one that got me annoyed and worried lately is when a young nursing mother decided to trek from her state, Niger to Abuja, carrying her 40-day old baby ! what the heck is that !!! This madness has got to stop. I think the President-elect should look into this craze. #enoughisenough# No wonder the popular Charly boy has promised to ride his bike from Abuja to China if Gen Buhari makes one dollar to be equal to one naira..lol #mockerytotrekkingfever#
                                                        The first trekker for Gen. Buhari

I am so proud to be a Nigerian. The electionss have come and gone and we await the successful hand-over on May 29 by GOD's grace.

I say a big congratulations to the wining party and the asprants who won, especially the new president-elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari. And to the outgoing President, President Goodluck Jonathan, you are a man of few words that keeps the pace, Nigerians will forever remember you for the courageous step you took during this election. GOD bless Nigeria.

TENSION, PANIC AS NIGERIANS GO TO THE POLLS TOMORROW

In as much as majority of the Nigerian populace are excited to decide who the nation's next president is by casting their votes tomorrow, May 28, 2015, there is still that tension and uncertainty in the air as to what becomes of the country following several predictions from some quarters about how violent and bloody it would become, GOD forbid.

Well, we are still here as one nation blessed by the Sovereign GOD. United we shall all stand. The elections shall come and pass peacefully and the next president sworn in on May 29, 2015 in a chaos-free manner. This is my prayer for my dear country, Nigeria. Selah.

TIPS FROM PSYCHOLOGISTS

Psychologists say -

1) If a person laughs too much, even at stupid things, he is lonely deep inside...

2) If a person sleeps a lot, he is sad...

3) If a person speaks less, but speaks fast, he keeps secrets...

4) If someone can not cry, he is weak....

5) If someone eats in an abnormal manner, he is tense....

6) If someone cries on little things, he is innocent and soft-hearted...

7) If someone becomes angry over silly or petty(small) things, it means he needs love....

Try to understand people more. Keep sharing.



NIGERIA'S FIRST LADY AND WOMEN PDP RALLIES.

The First lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan, after the postponement of the previously scheduled February election, has been  going round in almost all the states of the federation aggressively campaigning and canvassing using the Women PDP rallies, for the re-election of her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan in the March 28, 2015 election.

She goes with the entourage of such women as wife of senate president, Helen Mark, PDP National women leader, Kema chikwe and others. Ofcourse some Nollywood actresses like Rita Edochie & co, accompany her.

My gist here anyway is how entertaining these rallies have become by just watching the First lady dish out her vocabularies and insults on the members of the opposition party. Her never- ending- slow speech once she mounts the podium, leaves the expression of tiredness and diplomatic disgust on the faces of the so called women supporting her as they stand behind her on those stages. One of the observations is Mrs Helen Mark, who stylishly disappears from the stage once the first lady begins her speech and sometimes re-appears when she eventually rounds up her long talk. She, Helen Mark, in particular, can not stand the first lady's stance and lack of decorum. Madam Mark, it shows on your face o. The likes of Dr Kema Chikwe diplomatically covers up her own expressions and so energetically goes with the flow regardless of how the first lady presents herself at these rallies....after all she, Kema, is the PDP National Women leader and so the chief co-ordinator of the rallies.But surprisingly, she just could not hide it in their last rally done in Edo state on Saturday, March 14
, 2015. At a point she got so tired of the long and slow speech of the First Lady.

 I keep wondering why the Vice President's wife is not part of these rallies. How come she is left out in all of the drama, despite the fact that the struggle is for the President and her own husband, Arc Namadi Sambo. May be there is eventually no love lost between some factions in this camp and they try to conceal it.
Helen Mark and Dame Patience

PARENTS AT BLUE IVY'S SCHOOL COMPLAIN ABOUT JAYZ AND BEYONCE. FIND OUT WHY.

Parents complain at a hollywood pre-school attended by Blue ivy carter, the daughter of Jay Z and Beyonce, popularly called the power couple artistes because of the millions of dollars they are worth...whatever.

Two cars and three bodyguards take this kid to and from school on a daily basis....infact she comes in and out with an entourage !

The 3-year old preschool is not impressed and pleased that she has such a big posse. Reports have it that the elite preschool has children of other hollywood celebrities in attendance and they are dropped off at school by one driver and not an entire staff as is the case of the Carters.

Mehn, that sounds like a whole village bringing Blue to school. The Carters should slow it down because they are not the only famous moneybags. Y'all should expect the worst from kanye when it's time for North.

HOUSE OF SENATE FINALLY CONFIRMS FORMER MINISTER MUSILIU OBANIKORO AS A RETURNEE MINISTER

Despite the warnings from various quarters including the opposition party, the APC about not confirming the former minister of state for defence to return as a minister based on the Ekiti state governorship election rigging audio being circulated online, the Nigerian house of senate still went ahead to confirm him during the house plenary session on Tuesday, March 10, 2015.

Mr Obanikoro was named in a leaked tape as a principal actor in the 2014 Ekiti state rigging saga which has sparked off national outrage and the Nigerian government has refused to investigate the claims.

The APC lawmakers responded by walking out of the session in protest.

SO WHAT IS GOING WRONG AGAIN IN THE FRESH JOB RECRUITMENT EXERCISE FOR NIGERIAN IMMIGRATION SERVICE ?

Barely a month now that the federal government has ordered for a fresh recruitment exercise for the Nigeria Immigration service after the ill fated previous one was cancelled last year, 2014, the website provided for numerous applicants to apply online is up till now having technical issues.

Alot of intending applicants have not been able to apply due to this hitch and the deadline which is March 22, 2015 is by the corner.

There are reports that some business centers or cybercafes in the various states of the federation have been designated to collect a thousand naira each from applicants inorder to issue them the application forms which is contrary to what the FG told the unemployed that the whole exercise is free and should be done online.

The shadiness in all of this is very pitiful and worrisome. Why would a whole system such as this, having failed the masses the first time, now come out to give the people a shabby fresh recruitment exercise, starting from a job website which is technically not working even up till now and some business centers are having a field day making money out of the exercise. One would wonder how come they are able to do so, meanwhile when you try yours using the link provided by the government for the application, there's a deadlock. Only few are able to apply after so many trial and error. This country !

PRESIDENT JONATHAN FIRES SURE-P CHAIRMAN- GEN AGWAI

President Goodluck Jonathan has sacked the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowernment Programme (SURE-P) Chairman, Rtd General Martin Luther Agwai.

This took place yesterday, March 10, 2015 and Rtd Gen Agwai is to hand over to the new chairman in the person of Mr Ishaya Dare Akau whose appointment is with immediate effect, according to the Presidential Spokesman, Reuben Abati.

Gen Agwai's inevitability of change remarks at the 78th birthday ceremony of former president Olusegun Obasanjo is what led to his sack by the current president.
In his words, he said "in life you find out that everything needs change, if that is what the community wants, what the people want, you must give it to them and as such it becomes inevitable".

I guess this statement must have infuriated President Jonathan and the ruling party and we all know the slogan "change" is synonymous with the opposition party, APC. So to them, Rtd Gen Agwai is biting the finger that feeds him.

SEE THE AMERICAN ACTOR AND SINGER THAT LOOKS LIKE IBB

Ever heard of the name, Terrence Howard ? Oh yes, that Chicago born actor and singer who starred in Iron man, Get rich or die tryin', Four brothers, August rush, Winnie, The brave One and the recent Tv series on Fox television-Empire, amongst so many others.

Well this guy looks so much like our own ex-military head of state of Nigeria, Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, IBB when he was so much younger. This is my observation, actually. Yours can differ. But take a good look at their pictures and judge.

ARE YOU AWARE THAT LENT 2015 IS ALREADY ON ?

Catholic faithfuls and indeed Christians all over the world are observing the Lenten season which is a time for the preparation of the death of Christ Jesus on good Friday and His resurrection on Easter. It is a solemn observance which begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for a period of 40 days, not including the sundays, that precede Easter. This period is characterized by Fasting and Praying and not eating meat for some denominations of the church.

Lent for 2015 is from Wednesday, February 18 to Saturday, April 4 (Holy Saturday) and April 5 is the EASTER Day celebration for this year of our LORD.

Happy Celebrations !

GEN. BUHARI OUTCRIES THAT HE WILL INHERIT HUGE DEBT PROFILE AND EMPTY TREASURY.

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC party, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has expressed concern over inheriting a huge debt profile and empty treasury if elected President of Nigeria after the polls. He however confidently assured Nigerians that he and his team would assist in turning the situation around using his wealth of experience. He made this known through a statement presented by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu.

He said in his words as thus : "It is crystal clear that our revenues are dwindling by the day and if we must survive, we can not continue on this path of near absence of accountability, mismanagement, outright waste and jamboree that has characterized the management of public resources under the Jonathan-led PDP government. We can assure the mass of Nigerian people that help is on the way. We know that an APC controlled Federal Government will obviously inherit a huge debt profile and an empty treasury from this PDP Federal Government. We are confident of turning the situation around. It is apparent that the FG has suddenly found itself in a bind with plummeting crude oil prices in the Int'l market but typical of a team that lacks capacity for anticipatory actions, the FG has been running from pillar to post in a vain bid to stabilize the economy".

Wow, those are strong words coming from the non-garrulous general.

PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN DISMISSES THE IDEA OF INTERIM GOVERNMENT BEING CIRCULATED.

According to the President of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Jonathan : "Interim government is not known to the Nigerian constitution. I don't have powers to redefine our constitution. There is no way Goodluck Jonathan, who was elected by the people with a clear mandate, will now go and head an interim government without a mandate. The only interim government that anybody can contemplate is a military government which, of course ,will not be accepted. ECOWAS will not accept it, that is why we forced Burkina Faso to take the decision they took; AU will not accept it, UN will not accept it and Nigerians will not in this present generation accept it. So any insinuation about interim government is treasonable and people should not talk about it. Elections will be conducted as scheduled by INEC ".

He made this speech yesterday, February 22, 2015 at the first 2015 Plenary session of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) held in Abuja.

The Catholic Arch Bishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan urged the president to call his supporters to order in their hate speeches and campaigns.

SEE WHAT EX-PRESIDENT IBB OF NIGERIA REVEALS ABOUT FEMI FANI KAYODE.

This tweet came out of the twitter account of Former President of Nigeria,  Rtd Major Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida 2 days ago, where he exposed Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, the director, media and publicity of the PDP Presidential campaign organization.

Seriously, FFK ? A taxi driver in U.K ? With all of the mouth he runs and the swag attached to it ? IBB has really hit him hard. I'm so surprised he did not answer back in his usual manner or is it because the " dare-devil" IBB is involved ?..Lol

CAN YOU SEE ANY RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN THESE TWO ?

Senator David Mark

Gov. Tunde Fashola
I have observed how these two pictured above- The senate President of Nigeria, Sen. David Mark and Governor of Lagos state, Gov. Babatunde Fashola , have this close and striking resemblance to each other. This can be seen from the shape of their lips to their nose and how they talk. Now I'm referring to their facial resemblance only and not stature or  character wise. One looks like an older version of the other or they can be described as brothers from another mother...Lol.

Sen. Mark is from Benue state and belongs to PDP while Gov. Fashola is from Lagos state and belongs to APC .

Just an observation though !

PRESIDENT MUGABE FALLS DOWN AT HARARE AIRPORT.

Barely less than a week after the 90 year old President Mugabe of Zimbabwe was named the new African Union Chairman held in Addis Ababa, he slipped and fell at the Harare airport  during a grand reception to usher him back to his country.

Many attributed this to his old age status and refusing to hand over to a successor. His country men especially those in the opposition party have accused President Mugabe of corrupt practices, ill health, squandering of the nation's economy and spending it on unnecessary ceremonies.

The photographers and journalists at the scene of the "fall" of Mr President were compelled to delete the pictures they took showing how President Mugabe fell on the ground and how his aides helped him to stand up. Obviously there will be some slip-aways.

I guess this will become a case study for certain politicians in Nigeria.
