After 8 Years pretending to be in the groove of Democracy
...today we have Political Appointment for Elections
...a juxtaposition of figures to create a margin of victory at the polls...
Oh how I weep for motherland

She is so weak that she cannot rise up to protect her chicks.
She,s been so raped that she cannot even protest
She has been so mutilated and she has been left for stupid
She is a destitute amongst nations inspite of her wealth
Oh how I weep for motherland

Where is your hope motherland?

Valentine. Imagine all my cousins taking on me to be their Val. Men, these day in Naija (Nigeria) guys either skip this day or forget that there is a February 14 to be celebrated. Some guys even go to the extreme of having a clash with their girlfriends on the 13th so that they will not talk on the 14th, then reconcile on the 15th. It is worse on guys because the babes themselves can be quite demanding. As it stands now, there are a lot of expectations on guys to PERFORM on Val's Day or get FIRED.

The heART of the matter is that where there is love, other good things will naturally follow. It now lies with us to discover love and apply it generously on fellow human beings. Let today be not a day for love on that special someone, but shed it on someone who really NEEDS some - the homeless, the sick, widows, prisoners. Make sure you not only say it, DO IT.

I will resume blogging - my way soon, but before then, the heART of the Matter is JUST DO IT.

Up Man. U!!!

PRESIDENT Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday declared that the April elections would be a do or die affair for the country and his ruling Peoples Democratic Party [PDP].
Addressing elders and other stakeholders from Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun State on preparations for the forthcoming polls, Obasanjo said that he would give it all it takes to ensure his party’s victory in the elections, adding that he was not prepared to hand over to criminals.

He explained that he would want to hand over to those who would continue with the reform programmes of his administration and pointed out that continuation with the reforms would make Nigeria one of the leading countries in the world within the next 15 years...

Like the beginning of every new year, this year too, I decided not to decide but live in decision. Have I decided? No. I have not, though sometimes it depends on the way you look at it. I really got tired of the round circle - every year comes with a new resolution that must be changed at the start of another.

I decided to live positively not minding the changing times or tides, not minding the circumstances, but to be an agent of change all round... I will soon start sharing my experiences, please join me.

Governor Peter Obi walked regally into the Government House, Awka yesterday. He exuded unbridled joy. Spotting a navy blue stripped shirt and matching pair of trousers, he enveloped Dame Virgy Etiaba (his erstwhile deputy who had held sway as governor following his ouster) in an embrace. Then followed a deafening applause welcoming the embattled Governor back to the office he vacated under controversial circumstances about five months ago.
It was an emotion-laden scene as Etiaba finally handed over to his former boss. The joyous scenes at Government House Awka yesterday followed the voiding of the impeachment of the Anambra State Governor by the Appeal Court sitting in Enugu.
Etiaba had assured that she would hand over to Obi yesterday as soon as the appelate court made its pronouncement and she kept to her words....
