Brown I am not a member and not planning to be one
The truth is I love Mr president
No one is perfect
Children of hate just hate the man for no reason
I love asiwaju as well the nightmare of advanced wailers
Finally I love my country

1. Why Brown'ning me? 2. Who are the 'children of hate'? 3. It seems you love the Leader more, why is that?

sarrki:
Nothing will ever satisfy them
Sleep with hatred in their hearts
Wake up with hate in their hearts
If it is not them then no one
God will put them to shame once more

Please Sarrki whats your relationship with APC! It seems you guys are 5&6¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

National leader of the All Progressives Congress Party, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has told protesting Nigerians to hang on to the APC party they sold to them and endure a little longer for the promised change to arrive. Tinubu assured the protesters that the Buhari-led government which the people voted into power is not running away from the change it promised Nigerians during campaigns.
Tinubu gave the comment on Monday while addressing the protesters in Lagos.
Recall that thousands of Nigerians took to the streets to protest the unfavourable situation in the country especially the economy. The protest which was to be initially led by popular musician, 2face Idibia later saw a last minute withdrawal by 2face citing plots by hoodlums to hijack the whole process and cause mayhem.
This was equally as pressure mounted on 2face from both the presidential spokespersons, Femi adesina and Lauretta Onochie on one hand and from the Lagos state commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni who even threatened to arrest 2face should he continue with the protest.
2face however, chickened-out and called for the cancellation of the protest. But, concerned Nigerians under the banners, #OnevoiceNigeria and #IsatandwithNigeria went ahead with the protest with big and popular personalities such as Charly Boy, sheyi Law, activist, Deji Adeyanju, Saharareporters’publisher, Omoyele Sowore among so many others joining the protest.
However, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu made out time to meet some of the protesting groups from where he told them the mind of the government concerning the predicaments faced by the people under the Buhari-led administration.
He said, “What we are going through now will be resolved. We are going through a historical phase of a country that is promising and holding the promise for you. There is a leadership on the line. And you have to live with that for now. Protest won’t solve the problem, will it, he asked rhetorically.”
He said re-planning is the solution to the problem. “Being responsive, being able to get engaged with you so that you will see the problems that we are facing.” “You are right”” when you say there is a lot of unemployment in the country, epileptic power supply and series of other un-commendable developments in the country. “In every political situation, we have the twist and turn. It cannot be straight all the time. We are the same victims. You carry a placard, i have been a placard carrier since when?”
“This government is a product of a protest. If you didn’t have a bad administration then, you won’t vote for us. You voted on our promises. We are just two years into that promise compared to sixteen (16) years that they took over that they could have made the changes.”
“Yes, we are working on the electricity. Without electricity, there could be no industrialization and explosion of employment opportunities for our people. That is in our head. But, it cannot grow like the mushroom. To fetch water out of the rock, you have to endure some blisters.”
“Be patient. Lets have faith in our leaders. We’ve continued to manage Lagos, you’ve seen progress. It’s because of the consistent application of our programmes. A time started in 1998, 1999 it was a terrible situation here in Lagos. Dead body on the street, no ambulances, LASU was completely disintegrated, extremely dangerous mortuaries. What do you have today? Because you endured then. Just go and endure again.”
“We sold APC to you, please hang on to it. You have your rights to vote against us during election if you want. But, i remain in the party because we will retool this party. We will retool this government.”
“The damage of over sixty years and sixty years of miss-governance cannot be turned around overnight. Let’s be patient. Let’s have the understanding. Let’s hang on to hope. There is nothing more effective that can drive you better than hope and belief in a positive turn of this situation.”
“We understand. We are not saying you are not suffering. We are not saying unemployment has not increased. I have no argument. But, economy cannot collapse one day. Systemic problem had occurred before now. Fine! We are not running away from that responsibility, we are going to face it squarely and we are going to bring prosperity back to the country.”
The protesters who wrote down their demands that included that the salaries of public office holders like the legislatures be slashed, provision of employment opportunities, involvement of more youths in the government, review of some outrageous allocations in the 2017 budget among others handed their request to the National ruling party leader who said, “You are making sense, we will do that.”
Tinubu also said to the protesters, “It’s your right to protest. Any misgovernance, any perceived bad treatment, no one should stop you. No one, Ok? However, if you get engaged, you don’t have to suffer the burning sun. I have given you the respect that you deserve. Please, go back, calm down, hang on to hope, visit me whenever it’s necessary, the job will be available,” Tinubu said.

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, who is facing trial over alleged N26million fraud, has said that under no circumstances will he pay back any money to the EFCC or government.
Fani-Kayode was reacting to reports that he has begged the Federal High Court in Abuja to allow him to return the money to the Federal Government said
“Reports that are coming out that Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has agreed to return 26 million naira to the EFCC in an attempt to settle his case at the Abuja Federal High Court out of court with them are false.
The matter was adjourned in the Abuja Federal High Court today primarily because a new lawyer in the person of Mr. Ahmed Raji SAN was now handling the case and he needed time to be properly briefed on the matter and to go through the file.
Under no circumstances will Chief Fani-Kayode pay any money back to EFCC or any other government agency because he never collected any money from any government agency in the first place. The reports are false, embarrasing and mischevous.”- Jude Ndukwe, spokesman to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.’
The reports had it that Former Minister of Aviation had begged the Federal High Court in Abuja to allow him to return the sum of N26 million he was accused of illegally receiving from the detained former National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki, retd, before the election to organise media campaign for Jonathan.

Can't you see him handling America with entrepreneurial Knowledge and Skills to a superior height? He doesn't want to work with unskilled Judiciary and he is keeping The Legislature on its toes. That's a President who is sincerely carrying his people with knowledge and Understanding somewhere different from a gloomy cattle land.

I got your take, nice reading your thoughts!

Your takes is noted sir.

Do you think his stand to cancel the earlier scheduled protest will have any harsh effect on his career here in Nigeria and Abroad. Considering his diehard fans who have faith in him even for calling for such a protest, what do you think will be there position as regards the entertainer?
Please spell out your take!

This protest may have small weight afterall! Home for Osinbajo! Abroad for PMB! We must Change this Change!

Zoharariel:
What ya'll expect? Vladimirovich Putin - the son of Spiridonovich is a demi-god, who like the gods on Mount Olympus, learnt to foresee the future by looking through the clouds - and seeing the beginning & end of all things.

If only we had 7 Putins in each of the Continents, trust me, the world would have been a better place because once you get intoxicated & belligerent with your Tomahawks, Minutemen or F-22 raptors, then I'd instantly roll out my S-400s before test-firing my Bulavas & SS-18Lucifer over your airspace.

I like Trump because he's loyal & subservient to my Master in Kremlin. Hahahahahaha!

hmmm!

Biodun37:
Trump assumed only on 20th Jan. & U attribute the month economic achievement with his adm.? U're sick

Calm down bro, You don't need to get HBP over these things. Besides that survey is not a product of Nigeria. Go to Yahoo. I guess those Yahoo guys are based in somewhere overseas.
Thanks.

President Donald Trump has rebuffed calls for a tougher stance on Russia, playing down political assassinations inside the country and Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
Trump — now two weeks into his four-year term — showed no signs of yielding to demands from within his own Republican Party to distance himself from President Vladimir Putin.
“I do respect him. Well, I respect a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean I’ll get along with them,” Trump said in an excerpt of a Super Bowl interview with Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly that will air in full on Sunday.
When pressed in relation to Putin’s alleged links to the extrajudicial killing of journalists and dissidents, Trump said, “There are a lot of killers. We have a lot of killers.”
“You think our country is so innocent?” Trump asked rhetorically.
Michael McFaul, a former ambassador to Russia and advisor to former president Barack Obama, described Trump’s comments as “disgusting.”
“This moral equivalency that Trumps continues to draw between the USA and Russia is disgusting (and inaccurate),” he said on Twitter.
Mainstream Republicans have repeatedly called on Trump to distance himself from Putin, with little impact.
Throughout the election campaign, Trump refused to criticize the Russian leader, saying better relations with the Kremlin would be in the US national interest.
The new president has advocated working with Russia to combat the Islamic State group in Syria, where Moscow has deployed aircraft, naval assets and troops to support Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
In December, US intelligence agencies went public with their view that Russia conducted a hack-and-release campaign aimed at swinging the US election in Trump’s favor.
Trump’s repeated criticism of NATO — a common target for Putin — has only fueled suspicions that Trump is ready to side with Moscow over allies in Europe.
Across Europe, there are growing concerns that the continent might be wedged between a hostile Russia and a hostile United States.
Trump’s stance on Ukraine has also raised eyebrows. After a call with Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko on Saturday, the White House said the pair addressed “Ukraine’s long-running conflict with Russia.”
Russia annexed the Ukrainian region of Crimea in March 2014 and has supported separatists in the east of the country.
Former national security advisor Susan Rice publicly criticized Trump’s framing of the situation.
“This distortion of even recent history is deeply troubling,” she tweeted.
– ‘We’re watching’ –
Trump’s Vice President Mike Pence tried to explain the administration’s approach to the conflict in eastern Ukraine, which had flared after Trump and Putin spoke by telephone a week ago.
“We’re watching, and (we’re) very troubled by the increased hostilities over the past week in eastern Ukraine,” Pence told ABC’s “This Week” news program.
During the Trump-Putin call, the Kremlin said the two men had discussed improving economic relations, a potential signal of Trump’s willingness to lift sanctions on Russia.
Asked whether the administration would be willing to ease sanctions while Russia is violating ceasefire agreements, Pence demurred.
“I think that’s a question that will be answered in the months ahead. And it just simply all depends,” he said.
“If we have opportunities to work together, I think the president is looking for an opportunity to begin that relationship anew.
“But make no mistake about it — those decisions will await action. And they’ll be very dependent on how the Russians respond in the days ahead.”

i thought we only use this phrase when the development is Local bound.

Could you please expantiate more on Local bound?

Blogging as an act of sharing information on the internet through different platforms has eased writers the stress of going to the printing press to have their daily, weekly or monthly journals published. Internet blogging has helped individuals garner a wider readership worldwide without spending much or nothing at all. And this applies specially to those who have the flare for writing. Though writing is an art that could be acquired, nurtured and developed but still there are those who find writing as a normal routine, a part of their life and they find writing and blogging 'exceptionally easy'.
By age thirteen, I have written three books. A journal titled 'See the World', analyzing my environment as I see it and the two other were stories. The worst, they never saw the light of the day. Then 2012, I heard about blogging through a social media platform.
Then I quickly grabbed my pen and scribbled the web address chukwumafly.com . Whatever SOARING and FLYING got to do with me, I don't know. I JUST FELT I COULD FLY!

Due to immaturity and all, it died as it was birthed. Later on, I got hold of a band new lappy. It spurred my writing passion once again. Within three months of handling the system, I had composed about twenty poems and four short stories. The process to bringing my writing to the world was once again cut short due to malware and malfunction. The only word was "TOTAL FORMAT". Then again, my writing was lost.
Fast forward to "13, I decided to enter internet by force, lolz. I went from different blogging platforms to the other.
I took hold on Tumblr and later dropped that.
I started off again with blog.com and then it wasn't sustainable.
Wordpress "invited" me too; then again I maneuvered my way out.
Then Google said, it could offer me everything I needed through Blogger.
I started once again. I soon found myself lost cause I found out that the invisible crowd was nothing comparable; too many bloggers with too many blogs everywhere. But still, I got to find out that "exceptionality" stood on his own and I could see him standing tall. I dared to pursue. Then my ever pregnancy for flying gave birth to
alphasoars..com . The Alphasoars Blog.
I started blogging from then till date and the following is what I have found out about Internet Blogging:

*** Inadequate Knowledge About Blogging. Do you really know about blogging or because your friends or social media tells that blogging pays and without full consultation, you dive into it to crash soonest. The question is what do you know about blogging? I move from one blog to the other almost on daily basis, and I noticed that most of us don't know what blogging is all about. Most people are what we call 'follow, follow'. Doing it because A is doing it. Before you start, have the knowledge that blogging is where you share what interests you, where you give all of you, just like John Legend giving all of him.

*** Limited blogging. Some people in a bid to say 'am an educational blogger' or 'politics blogger' then they create a blog for education or politics but that's not the problem. The problem will come tomorrow when they start blogging from celebrity to lifestyle, education and religion combine and still their blog title tells us that "the house you are about to enter is just for education/politics/celebrity".
Why limit your space when you know you wouldn't continue on the chosen niche for a long time. Just tell us, "this space accommodates all".

*** Passion is overrated. This one is most bloggers national anthem. "I blog for passion". When you don't write because you lack what to write, how is that a passionate start up? Passion should keep you on top gear whenever you come online. Your readers will know it, " he's blogging his heart", they will say. Some bloggers have delved into this passion thingy and when it could no longer sustain their "morale" after shouting "morale high", they pack up. They just quit!

*** Time. No timetable is suitable for blogging. When you give yourself a timetable to do something you have passion for, you kill it. But you can moderate the amount of time you spend on it. And you ask 'Why?' Oh because, ideas for passion are spontaneous and if you have already drawn timetable for start and finish, you will in no time cut short your inspiration supply bank! When you get inspired about a topic you are passionate about to write for a long time with ideas flowing in and then you are not at your "timetable" at that moment, you just brush the ideas aside. And doing that, you slowly begin to lose interest since ideas may not be coming when you want it to.
I will discuss timing in details on the "How To Combine the Aforementioned for Effective Blogging".
What out for part 2!
Adios!!!
Happy Soaring!!!

The first jobs report of the Trump era just dropped and it was better than expected.
In January, the US economy added 227,000 jobs while the unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.8%. Economists were looking for payrolls to grow by 180,000 with the unemployment rate expected to hold steady at 4.7%.
Wage gains in January, however, were a disappointment, as average hourly earnings rose just 0.1% over the prior month and 2.5% over last year. Economists were looking for a 0.3% improvement over last month and a 2.8% jump over last year.
The disappointing wage data is notable for the Federal Reserve, as an increase in wages is seen not only as giving weight to the idea that the US economy is at full employment, but typically signals a coming increase in inflation. A faster-than-expected rise in inflation could urge the Fed to move to raise interest rates faster than markets expect.
Elsewhere in the report, weekly hours worked ticked up to 34.4 from 34.3 and the labor force participation rate rose to 62.9% from 62.7%. The underemployment rate, which captures workers who are working part-time but would prefer to have full-time work, rose in January to 9.4% from 9.2%. The rise in the labor force participation rate is what bumped up the unemployment rates.
Following Friday’s report, Neil Dutta, an economist at Renaissance Macro said, “[The] Fed has no need to rush. Participation rate rose and hourly earnings were soft but workweek extended and jobs rose nicely.”
The uptick in the labor force participation rate is, aside from the headline job gains, perhaps the most positive part of this report, as it indicates folks who had likely been completely done looking for work again sought to come back into the labor force. This broadly squares with improving consumer and business sentiment readings we’ve seen since the election, as taking the leap of faith to move from not looking for work at all to attempting to find a job requires some level of confidence about the economy.
The November and December jobs reports were also revised, with these revisions taking 39,000 job gains away from what had been previously reported. Over the last three months, job gains have now averaged 183,000.
On an industry basis, manufacturing employment rose by just 5,000 in January, while construction jobs increased by 36,000 during the month. The biggest industry gain was retail, where nearly 46,000 jobs were added in January. Government employment fell by 10,000 during January.
