These things don't work.

I have repeatedly stated it here, that those that believe in juju are not only ignorant, but that they are getting scammed by the so called juju men or herbalists. If there was JUJU, how did the British come into this Country with just Guns, and were able to take over Nigeria? why did the Juju not catch them?

In fact the so called juju places in Nigeria were among the first to be captured. Oba Ovonramwen, with all the Benin Juju he had, was not only captured, but he was also Frog-Jumped in Chains from Benin to Calabar, where he eventually died. The other day i heard one boasting "Try me you go know say i be Bini Man" and so i am thinking, which Benin?the one the British ran through?

The Ijebu's too that claim to posses juju, had all their villages and towns burnt to the ground by the British, and their juju did not work. The British-Ijebu war of 1892 (The battle of Imagbon) is something those interested in history should go and read about.

Let us stop glorifying these black magics. They do not work.

A US Based-Palestinian lady took to her Twitter TL to expose an unidentified Arab 'soon-to-be doctor' who threw a fit at her because she refused to send him some photos that she felt were inappropriate.

After his bitter rant, she shared screenshots of their conversation, but made sure to protect his identity.

Read what she wrote on her TL and their conversation below;

A man was singing and jumping and dancing beside a very small boy of about 8years old,the boy just snapped his fingers when the man was jumping in the air and he couldn't come down i swear. The boy was asking the man what was making him happy? We later got to know the boy was a wizard! Till my last breath,i no go near any club again. So make we check this picture wella,this man fi don hang.

In honour of the forthcoming World Jollof Rice Day which is now celebrated annually on the 22nd of August, here are some Jollof recipes and techniques that you would love: Native Jollof Rice, Jollof Spaghetti and Basmati Jollof Rice.

NATIVE JOLLOF RICE

Not many know about Native Jollof rice and few have tasted it. This Native Jollof Rice will open your eyes to the possibilities of Jollof.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups Regular Rice
Chopped Ugu vegetable
Salt to taste
Seasoning to taste
1 Medium sized Onion
2 Fresh yellow peppers
1/4 cup Smoked Big Prawn
1 Cup Ponmo cut in pieces
1 Tablespoon Ground Crayfish
10 plum tomatoes, 2 habanero pepper, 1 onion mixture
1 big Smoked catfish, deboned
2 Chopped Paprika Chilli
1 Chopped Habanero Pepper
1/4 cup Palm Oil
1 Table Spoon Locust beans/Iru


PREPARATION
Parboil rice then roughly blend and boil pepper mixture (combination of tomato, pepper, and onion) till it is almost dry.
Heat up pot with palm oil, when it is hot add chopped onions, chopped peppers, locust beans, fry for 3 minutes.
Add roughly blended tomato mix, add crayfish, chopped ponmo, smoked catfish (in pieces) and smoked prawns, seasoning cube and salt. Allow this to fry till the oil floats to the top. Now add water, enough to cook the rice, then add the parboiled rice. Stir so that the ingredients will go around, then cover and allow to cook for 20 minutes/till rice is cooked.

JOLLOF SPAGHETTI

Jollof Spaghetti is almost as common as Jollof Rice and there are so many methods for making it. Here’s one recipe you will use over and over again.

INGREDIENTS
1 500g Pack Spaghetti
1 Medium Tin Tomato
0.45kg Minced Beef
2 Medium sized Onions Chopped
I Medium Sized Green Bell Pepper Chopped
6 Big Tomatoes Sliced
3 Scotch Bonnet Chopped
½ Cup Vegetable Oil
Salt to taste
Seasoning to taste
½ Teaspoon Paprika
1 Teaspoon Thyme
1 Tea spoon Ginger
3 Bay Leaves
3 Cups Water
¼ Cup Chicken Stock

PREPARATION
In a pot add water, add some salt and a drizzle of oil. Once it starts boiling add the spaghetti. Cover and cook till soft, then drain and set aside.
Add some vegetable oil to a pot, allow to heat up then add chopped Onions, Ginger and some chopped Green Bell Pepper for a minute.
In a bowl, mix 1/4 cup water with tomato paste then pour into the pot. Add salt and seasoning cube to taste. Stir frequently to prevent it from burning and continue till the oil separates-taste it, it should not taste sour anymore.
In another pan, heat up about 2 Tablespoons of oil, onions and green bell pepper, then add the minced beef and fry till the beef goes from pink to brown. Add the fried minced beef into the tomato sauce and stir together. Add ¼ Cup Chicken stock, bay leaf, garlic, paprika, and thyme. Add the spaghetti that was set aside earlier and combine well with sauce.
In a separate pan, saute onions and fresh sliced tomatoes. Add a pinch of salt. Allow to fry till it is cooked, add this to the spaghetti, combine properly and it is ready to eat.


BASMATI JOLLOF RICE

It is easy to cook Basmati Rice wrong, that is because of the rice itself-Basmati Rice does not need a lot of water to cook and once you nail it, it would become an everyday favourite.

INGREDIENTS
10 Tomatoes
4 Scotch Bonnet
2 Tatashe
3 Onions (1 Chopped, 2 Blended with Tomatoes)
1 Table Spoon Tin Tomatoes
1 Teaspoon Ginger (Chopped)
1 Teaspoon Garlic (Chopped)
2 Cups Basmati Rice
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Teaspoon Butter
1 Teaspoon Thyme
1 Teaspoon Curry
Seasoning to taste
Salt to taste
3 Bay leaves
2 Cups Water
1 Cup Chicken stock

PREPARATION
Blend Tomatoes, Pepper, Onions, Ginger, Garlic and boil till all the water is gone.
Heat up a pan, and add vegetable oil. When it is hot, add onions, curry, thyme, bay leaves, seasoning and fry for 1 minute.
Add boiled tomato/pepper mixture to the oil, add 1 spoon of tin tomatoes and fry for 15 minutes. Taste to see if it is cooked.
Add water and chicken stock, then add already washed basmati rice. Stir together.
Cover the pot with foil paper and then pot cover, then reduce the heat. What you need is the heat to cook the rice not water.
Allow cook for 30 minutes or till soft.
Now add butter and sliced fresh tomatoes, mix together and steam for 5 minutes.

Greetings to my people of nairalanders, I met my wife around 2015 and we dated for almost a year and attended all the necessary church and family teachings.

She told me she was a single mother, and all the men that dated her before I came to her left her because of that,I promise I won't leave her for having a baby outside wedlock.

The relationship keep on growing and I told her about my AS genotype and I made it clear to her that nothing will make me marry AS lady because of sickle cell children palavar. she told me that she is genotype AA. We continue our relationship did introduction and fixed our wedding date, now a month and two weeks to our wedding we went for mandatory test in our church clinic behold she failed the genotype test it was AS, right there I told her I no dey do again, she rejected the result and claimed vehemently that she is AA. second day we did confirmatory test it was still the same thing.

Her parents called me and told me both of them were AA and there is no way their daughter can be AS gene. they later brought some previous test (fake) of her AA stuff. I was bullied by every one around to go ahead since it was just few weeks to the wedding that it was manipulations, though my spirit was not willing again but I was compelled by all to go ahead that the thing has change back to AA she also said so that it has changed back to original AA. We go ahead and marry sha. She took in immediately after nine month she gave birth to a baby boy which I named Ikechukwu though we are both Yoruba's but I love Igbo people so much because I grew up with many of them. After some months after birth, Ikechukwu begin some strange sickness we begin to take the boy in and outside hospitals, spending the little income I was getting I decided to do Genotype test for d boy my wife resist it but I went ahead behold it was SS(sickle cell)

immediately I show her the result she went on her knees begging me, I called her father and informed him about it he invites me to his place and he too was begging me that he was also AS and not AA as he claimed before; now every is begging me again that I should not break my marriage that is based on deception, I have done everything that will make her leave my house except violent she refused to go. Every one is bullying me and begging me again, now non of them have supported me in any way for the boy expensive treatment.

3 paedos who raped and murdered a young boy are shot dead and hung from cranes in a chilling public execution.

Gruesome pictures show crowds gathering at a public square in Sana'a, Yemen, as the men are shot dead.

The three thugs have been convicted of raping and killing ten-year-old Mosad Saleh al-Mothana.

Yemeni officers forced the men, dressed in blue overalls, to lie face down on a mat.

A policeman shot each man in turn, through the back with five bullets aiming for the heart.

Their bloodied corpses were strung up from a crane for all to see.

It comes after the public hanging of Hussein al-Saket, 22, who was convicted of abducting, raping and murdering a four-year-old girl.

Saket was brought to Tahrir Square in Sanaa – which the Shiite Huthi rebels have controlled since 2014 – before being forced to lie face-down on the ground.

Ali Ayedh, the victim's uncle, said Saket "took part in the search for the girl before being unmasked" as her killer during the police investigation.

He said his public execution would act as a "deterrent for criminals".

The executions have been framed as an example of the Shiite rebels' efforts to combat crime in their areas.

On the saga of the sacked boss of the State Security Service (SSS), Mallam Lawal Daura, a wise man made this very sobering observation today, that:

"A Christian Acting President from the south, acting on the instructions of a Muslim President from the north, sacked the head of the SSS who is a Muslim from the President's hometown in the north, and then replaced him with a Christian from the south. But yet there were no northerners or northern Muslims complaining or wailing that they have been shortchanged, rather they all applauded the sack of the man, and even lamented that the sacked DG of the SSS was a saboteur of the administration of their kinsman. And they were even sharing the profile of the new head of the SSS on their social media pages in spite of the fact that he is a Christian from the south."

AND MY TAKE? Well, here.....

I agree and subscribe to that observation on the mark of 100%!

After studying and knowing how different groups in the country react differently to situations of this nature, I shudder and even shiver when I imagine or think what the story or situation would have been now if the sacked DG of the SSS was not a Muslim nor a northerner and was replaced by a Muslim from the north.....

Ahhhhhhhhh..... From yesterday to till forever, the social media, newspapers and radio and television stations would have been on fire with comical, senseless and baseless wailings of marginalization, Islamization and blah blah blah blah blah...... In fact, "that association" would have quickly issued a press release since yesterday condemning the sack and replacement. And, perhaps, they might have followed it up with another round of a hypocritical "peaceful" demonstration!

All across the world (but especially in Nigeria), bigots have a guiding philosophy that proudly says: WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER IS NOT GOOD FOR THE GOOSE!

When Goodluck Jonathan removed Maurice Iwu, a Southerner, and appointed MOOhamed Jega a Northerner, as INEC chairman, nobody made any noise.

Again when the same supposedly clueless Goodluck Jonathan replaced General Owoye Azazi with a corrupt member of the Sokoto Caliphate Sambo Dasuki, as National Security Adviser, again no noise was made.

But nevertheless, the north has always been making lessons for us. They have been teaching us how to be educated and how to enrich ourselves. If you don't believe me, read for yourselves..

After traveling for a very long time, I paid my dad a visit recently and was surprised to still find these old records in his room. These stuffs really took me down memory lane.

Still remember back then in the late 70's and early 80's when we used to attend birthday parties as kids and to know that the songs we danced to actually came from these old records played from old stereo players.

I remember Oriental Brothers of Africa, Johnny Nash, Bongos Ikwe, I-Roy and U-Roy from Jamaica, Edna Evi Ogoli, The New Edition (can't forget 'Candy Girl' and 'Cool It Down'), The Mandators, Isaac Black and many more. Memories!!!
