You Lazy (Intellectual) African Scum!

This article should serve as a wake up call. The bitter truth!!  I had to share. They call the Third World the lazy man’s purview; the sluggishly slothful and languorous prefecture. In this realm people are sleepy, dreamy, torpid, lethargic, and therefore indigent—totally penniless, needy, destitute, poverty-stricken, disfavored, and impoverished. In this demesne, as they call it, there are hardly any discoveries, inventions, and innovations. Africa is the trailblazer. Some still call it “the dark continent” for the light that flickers under the tunnel is not that of hope, but an approaching train. And because countless keep waiting in the way of the train, millions die and many more remain decapitated by the day. “It’s amazing how you all sit there and watch yourselves die,” the man next to me said. “Get up and do something about it.” Brawny, fully bald-headed, with intense, steely eyes, he was as cold as they come. When I first discovered I was going to spend my New Year’s Eve...

FAIRTALES DONT HAVE HAPPILY EVERAFTER AFTERALL. HEIDI& SEAL ENDS THE LOVE JOURNEY

Image
To say I was surprised when I heard about their seperation is an understatement. Their marriage was a fairytale you could almost think they are perfect .  It started out as a rumor but it is confirmed that the storybook marriage is faced with reality. Seal and   Heidi Klum   have announced that their storybook marriage   is coming to the end of the runway. In a statement Sunday night, the power couple announced their separation after rumors swirled over the weekend that a divorce was imminent. "While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul searching we have decided to separate," the joint statement read. "We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our   relationship   and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family,...

FALLEN HERO OF #OCCUPY NIGERIA. HOW DEMOLA ADERINTO WAS KILLED

Image
Grief for the loss of a child is one of the strongest of human emotions that lives forever in the minds of the parents. It is more compounded when the child is an adult.  Such is the life of Mr and Mrs Abbe, parents of Demola who was killed by a trigger happy police officer in Yaya Abatan, Ogba, Lagos at the wake of the protest against the removal of petrol subsidy. Still riddled with shock when Saturday Vanguard visited last Wednesday, the duo were speechless. They could only ask whether their son had been buried. Far away in Ilesa, Osun state they demanded that the killer of their son be brought to book for  justice to be done. Demola Abbe, 26, was one of the five children of Mr. And Mrs Abbe in Ilesa, Imo, in Atakumosa Local Government of Osun State.  He was known as Aderinto because since he was brought to Lagos nine years ago by his mentor, Moses Daramola, he had been staying with the Aderinto family who took him as their son. The guardian, Madam Alice Ader...

Why do you hurt people with words?   Don’t   you see people beyond their body?When you say things like that for a long time to people believe me they start to feel ugly, insecure, timid & start to hide under ugly dresses to hide the fat.   Before you go about poin...

The President Speaks

Image
Consequent upon the removal of PMS subsidy by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The removal has generated various argument for & against the removal. The President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan addressed the nation today. If u missed the live broadcast, below is the speech. Dear Compatriots: 1.     A week ago, I had cause to address Nigerians on the security challenges we are facing in parts of the country, which necessitated the declaration of a state of emergency in 15 Local Government Areas in four states of the Federation. That course of action attracted widespread support and a demonstration of understanding. With that declaration, government had again signaled its intention to combat terrorism with renewed vigor and to assure every Nigerian of safety. 2.    The support that we have received in the fight against terrorism from concerned Nigerians at home and abroad has been remarkable. We believe that it is with such continued support that...
