http://nasoweseeam.com/aunty-okonjo-is-grooving-again/

Okonjo-Iweala gets two international appointments. A former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was on Monday appointed into two key international positions, her Media Adviser, Paul Nwabuikwu, said in a statement in Abuja. Apart from being named Chair of the 28-member Board of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, GAVI, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala also joined the 167-year-old global sovereign advisory investment firm, Lazard, as Senior Advisor. GAVI is a $12 billion multilateral international public-private partnership committed to saving the lives of children and protecting people’s health by improving access to immunization in developing countries, including Nigeria (from premiumtimesng.com).

http://nasoweseeam.com/buhari-rejects-salah-rams/

President Buhari reportedly shocks long time friend, rejects his trailer of rams as Sallah gift. A prominent Katsina state chief got a rude shock on Tuesday, September 22, when President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly rejected his trailer of rams sent as Sallah gift to Aso Rock. According to Newsrescue, the president a native of Katsina was reported to have ordered that the trailer be turned back and returned to the sender. It was gathered that the chief who sent the rams is known to be a long time friend of President Buhari. This action also confirms the president’s statement during his inauguration, where he stated that he belonged to everybody and to nobody. President Buhari has been described by The Washington Post as probably the least corrupt president in Africa (news from 247nigerianewsupdate).

http://nasoweseeam.com/buhari-misses-u-n-meeting-on-b-h/

President Muhammadu Buhari and his delegation were not present at a United Nation’s meeting to discuss and proffer solution to the problems of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The United Nations, Chad, Niger and Cameroon appealed on Friday for help for millions of people in the Lake Chad Basin region forced to flee the violence of Boko Haram and hit with repeated droughts and floods that have brought malnutrition and disease. US and European Union diplomats said they were disappointed that Nigeria did not attend the event chaired by United Nations aid chief Stephen O’Brien on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly (from vanguardngr.com).

http://nasoweseeam.com/trump-syrian-migrants-not-welcome-to-the-u-s/

In New Hampshire Wednesday night, Donald Trump stated that any migrants coming to the United States are “going back” if he becomes president. “I’m putting people on notice that are coming here from Syria as part of this mass migration, that if I win, they’re going back!” he said, adding: “They could be ISIS …This could be one of the great tactical ploys of all time. A 200,000-man army maybe, or if you said 50,000 or 80,000 or 100,000, we got problems and that could be possible. I don’t know that it is, but it could be possible so they’re going back — they’re going back.” (from msnbc.com)

Oregon college shooting: U.S. brand of terrorism?
http://nasoweseeam.com/oregon-college-shooting-u-s-brand-of-terrorism/

As is the case in pretty much every single mass shooting, the killer in Oregon got hold of his guns legally. The New York Times confirms the inevitable: ROSEBURG, Ore. — The man who killed nine people and severely wounded several others at a community college here went on his rampage armed with six guns, multiple extra ammunition magazines and a flak jacket, and left seven other firearms at home, law enforcement officials said Friday. In all, the gunman had owned 14 firearms, said Celinez Nunez, an agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, including one he had traded in. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Department said the gunman took five handguns and a rifle to Umpqua Community College on Thursday morning, and had two pistols, four rifles and a shotgun in his apartment. “All 14 have been traced to a federal firearms dealer,” some bought by the gunman and others by members of his family, said Ms. Nunez, the assistant special agent in charge of the Seattle field office. “They were all purchased legally.” (from nationalreview.com)

http://nasoweseeam.com/u-s-military-bomb-hospital-in-error/

A Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan was struck accidentally after Afghan forces called for air support from the American military, Gen. John Campbell, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said Monday. Saturday’s bombardment in Kunduz has sparked international outrage. It killed 12 medical staff members and at least 10 patients, three of them children, Doctors Without Borders said. Another 37 people were wounded, according to the global charity group, which works in conflict zones to help victims of war and other tragedies. Every person who died at the hospital was Afghan, the group said. Addressing reporters Monday at the Pentagon, Campbell said initial reports indicated the airstrike was called to protect U.S. forces (from cnn.com).

FIFA President faces suspension.
http://nasoweseeam.com/fifa-president-faces-suspension/

Fifa president Sepp Blatter is facing a 90-day provisional suspension. Members of Fifa’s ethics committee have recommended the sanction after the Swiss attorney general opened criminal proceedings against the 79-year-old. He is accused of signing a contract “unfavourable” to football’s governing body and making a “disloyal payment” to Uefa president Michel Platini. Blatter denies any wrongdoing and his lawyers said he had “not been notified of any action”. European football’s chief Platini – who wants to succeed Blatter – has said the payment was “valid compensation” from his time working under the Swiss more than nine years ago. The investigatory chamber of Fifa’s ethics committee has requested the ban and a final decision is likely to be made on Thursday by Hans Joachim Eckhert, the head of Fifa’s ethics adjudicatory chamber (from bbc.com).

Good job!

Issa Hayatou replaces Blatter as FIFA president.
http://nasoweseeam.com/issa-hayatou-replaces-blatter-as-fifa-president/

Issa Hayatou named FIFA Acting President. African football leader, Issa Hayatou has been named to take charge of FIFA after former president, Blatter was suspended and “stripped of all duties.” African football leader Issa Hayatou on Thursday took temporary charge of FIFA after Sepp Blatter was “relieved of his duties” because of his 90-day suspension, the world body said. Hayatou, 69, is president of the Confederation of African Football, and takes over as senior vice president of FIFA. He has in the past been reprimanded for misconduct by the International Olympic Committee. “Joseph S. Blatter was relieved of all his duties as FIFA president” after the move by the FIFA ethics committee to suspend him for 90 days because he is under criminal investigation by Swiss prosecutors, FIFA said (from vanguardngr.com).

EFCC begins probe of ministerial nominees.
http://nasoweseeam.com/efcc-begins-probe-of-ministerial-nominees/

As it would seem, what would have been a dream come true for those who made it into Buhari’s coveted minsterial list, is now a cause for concern. But this is only if they have some ‘less than savory’ dealings from their past. Why? It seems that the authorities are about to do some snooping around into their ‘business’ dealings and if they are found wanting… well it is no more news that the present government is on a corruption purge crusade. On my part I would say “On with it lads!”. In fact everyone should be probed! Of course this is not a very practical position because every sector probably has some bad eggs and it would take millennia for the government to get through all the muck. But back to the probe of the nominees for ministers in Buhari’s government, I wonder how many politicians would be scrambling to make the second list now. The drama unfolds, and Nasoweseeam will be there to give you the gist!

Pageant contestants go topless for breast cancer support.
http://nasoweseeam.com/pageant-contestants-go-topless-for-breast-cancer-support/

It has come to my notice that many a white woman (and black women if the money is right) would make any excuse to go naked in public. Hey, while I’m not complaining I wish they would just be honest about the whole thing and stop trying to fool us that they are doing it for some kind of altruistic purpose. I mean they take their clothes off to protest cruelty to animals, women’s rights, gay rights, pollution, breast cancer… I’m sure you get the point. It’s like they are trying to turn the planet into a giant strip club. And it’s not just in foreign climes. In in Nigeria women would go naked to curse a person that has done them wrong and wish some kind of diabolical evil.

I wonder what the work place would be like if we all showed our displeasure by donning our birthday suits. The water dispenser isn’t working- lets go nude! Coffee was cold- nude time! We have to work later than normal- nudity galore. For all you know it might take the edge of a stressful work place.

Back to our dear Irish Miss Bikini contest sisters. If you really want to show support for breast cancer, why do something that would make you look more sexy and cause accidents around town? (yes, a cyclist actually had an accident looking at these luscious damsels). To really show your support for the victims who go through intense pain and trauma, why not shave your heads! I think this will bring you a bit closer to feeling as shitting as the real cancer patients feel. Just saying.

@OP, great work. More grace and opportunities to your skills.

Trump and Bush in juvenile twitter war.
http://nasoweseeam.com/trump-and-bush-in-juvenile-twitter-war/

Donald Trump is using Jeb Bush’s famous last name against him once again this time hammering away at the point that the 9/11 attacks happened on former President George W. Bush’s watch (people.com).

The political shenanigans going on in the battle over who will become the flag bearer for the republican party in the next American presidential elections is being done on Twitter like some childish hiphop beef? This is at least the case between Trump and Bush. Has America become this superficial? I think the country has fallen into a deep drunken stupor and a psychotic addiction to reality t.v., game shows and the bizarre. Why else will this silliness be happening?

While I think this is right up Trump’s alley (he is playing to his strengths and turning the entire thing into a show) Jeb Bush on the other hand I do not understand. Why is he so gullibly falling for Trump’s ploy. You definitely can’t out-trump the Trumpster. Little wonder why Trump is giving him a whooping according to the polls.

For the rest of America keep watching and getting all the entertainment you can from this newest chart breaking political version of ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’. But be warned, when the show is over, real life goes on. Then you would have to live with your choices. Reality and Reality t.v. are two entirely different things!
