Nairaland GeneralThe Internet Brings More Harm Than Good by danduchi(op): 10:01am On Jul 28, 2014
The creation of the World Wide Web (1989)
and web browsers (early 1990s) gave ordinary people easy ways of getting around the Internet. Over the past fifteen years, millions of different websites have been set up, giving people the chance to shop, do business, play, learn and communicate online. Over the same period it has become much easier, cheaper and faster to get online in order to do these things. Now more than 30% of the global population have access to the Internet. Continent-wise, this breaks down as: Europe: 58.3%, North America 78.3%, Latin America 36.2%, Africa 11.4%, Asia 23.8% and Oceania 60.1%. These figures are growing all the time, as technology designed to access the Internet becomes both more mobile and much cheaper to produce.
The arrival of the Internet has vastly changed the way in which people search and access information.
News travels more quickly than ever, and current
affairs can be discussed all over the world
instantaneously via forums, blogs, and social
networks. Search engines like Google and Wikipedia
have now become ubiquitous starting points for
researching anything from minor queries to
academic reports. Many people also maintain social
links through the Internet with services such like
Facebook, Skype, and Flickr, to name but a few.
Research in the UK has shown that the average adult
spends around 22 hours 15 minutes online each
month.
Some believe the Internet is dominating the lives of its users. Has the internet done more harm than good in the society? Please house your opinion matters and no insult please

NYSCOfficial NYSC Camp Registration Requirements by danduchi(op): 10:50pm On Jul 18, 2014
Official NYSC Camp Registration Requirements:
1. CALL UP LETTER: This is a vital part of camp
registration and the only evidence that you are a
prospective corps member (colloq. Corper, or
Otondo) and you are not impersonating anyone. This
will be taken from and not returned to you. So if at all
you even forget you luggage (lol) never forget this.
Tip: DO NOT LAMINATE IT! And keep it like its your
life. I know someone who was sent back because she
forgot hers. Also someone who had to beg and beg
before his letter was collected because he laminated
his own copy. So please avoid all these stress and
make enough copies of this letter.
2. Registration Documents: Foreign graduates
should take along important registration documents
used in registering at Abuja. —> The List here
3. Final Year Student Identity CARD
4. Notification/Statement of Result from School
5. PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS: This is very important.
Take as many as you can, about 20 in red
backgrounds. You would need them at every
registration point mostly. Then those of you who
would likely redeploy or join one group or the other
in camp, you would need more than others.
6. PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS: Now make
about 5-10 copies of every document required. There
would be photocopiers in camp at mammy market
but trust me, it is double the price and it saves time.
Tip: The forms that will be handed to you are very
easy to fill. Attach your passport where necessary
and fill them correctly. After your registration, you
will be issued with your State Code Number. This will
be like your PIN throughout your Service Year.
PART 2:
7. CERTIFICATES/LICENSES: For Doctors,
Pharmacists, Nurses & Lab Scientists, take along your
proof of certification.
8. STATIONERY: PEN, PAPER, GUM, TIPPEX. Yeah
this saves time and lots of unnecessary begging.
Tip: Some camps do seize staplers at the gate during
check-in. So do not forget to include pins in your
stapler if you are taking that along.
Tip: After getting your NYSC State Code Number, you
can proceed to claim your NYSC Kit and Mattress
after which you can proceed to get a Room. After you
have gotten your kit and secured a place in the
hostels, you can settle down and you are good to go
to start the Military parades.
Now, Your NYSC kit should contain 1 NYSC Crested
Vest, A pair of Khaki Trousers, Cap and Jacket, 2
White T-shirts, 2 Pairs of Knickers, 2 pairs of
green-stripped Stockings, A Pair of Orange Jungle
Boots and One Pair of White Converse. A “Belt” is
also included.
DAILY NEEDS:
9. ROUND-NECKED WHITE T-SHIRTS: This is an
essential outfit in camp in fact in most camps this is
the only allowed cloth to be worn throughout your 3
weeks. Even to church, you might not be allowed to
wear colored cloths. You would be given 2 pairs of
white t-shirts at camp to just fulfill all righteousness
which surely would never be your size especially our
very slim and small otondo in size . So you can bring
extra pairs (6). Why? Because you probably wont
have time to wash during the week after being
stressed out from the parades and Man-O-War drills.
Tip: Do not carry more than 2 pairs of colored
clothes because you wont need it.
10. WHITE SHORTS: I beg you please do bring yours.
you would also be given 2 pairs of shorts which are
really poor in material. They tear easily and it can be
annoying. So my dear Otondos bring like 4 pairs of
shorts. Trust me also you wont like to wash everyday,
so bring enough to last you like 3 days so that you
wont be stranded.
11. PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS SHOES: This is
a very important outfit. you would also be given an
ugly pair of low quality white tennis shoes
customized for NYSC. It’s either you are not given
your size although you can find someone with your
size and swap. But after the first wash it starts
tearing. So just buy yours (white). They also sell this
in camp, so in case you are not able to get you could
buy in camp just carry extra cash for that because
the price would be higher – as with everything in
Mammy – because they know you have no choice
than to buy. Now, If you happen to camp during the
rainy season (Batch ‘B’ & ‘C’), get white rubber
sneakers/boots especially if you’re posted to the
Southern part of the country . The parade fields/
mammy market might be messed up after the rains.
You will get this in camp.
12. WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs.
13. MOSQUITO TREATED NET: You would do not
want to fall sick in camp from malaria. Just bring
yours. Also bring ropes you would use to hang it. I
also used mine as a room to protect my box and
properties from thieves and also from some insects
and ants.
14. BASIC DRUGS: Like Panadol or paracetamol,
medicine for your allergies, menstrual pain relief
drug, nausea relief drugs, antibiotics e.t.c. The camp
clinic is sometimes inadequately stocked with drugs
so help yourself.
True story – A corper from the previous batch
donated at least a million Naira worth of medicine to
our (Lagos) camp clinic, and barely a few days later,
they claimed to have run out of medicine.
15. PADLOCKS: [BRING or BUY from Mammy] Please
lock your boxes and bags to avoid regrets and tears. I
know someone who lost more than 5 items including
his two phones – like he’s the only one in camp.
16. WAIST POUCH: /Fanny pack/Bum bag (or for
the more fashion-conscious, a cross-body purse).
The bum bags are more popular because they won’t
bang against you when you’re active and your hands
are free to do whatever. You need it to carry your
money, phone, small valuables, pens, etc around
with you at all times. You should sleep with it too.
17. BEVERAGE: The camp will supply u with “Tea-
water” so you can make tea when u need to!
18. DETTOL : This is very, very essential. Firstly the
bathrooms can be very annoying and dirty and more
importantly, you would not like to have infection
from camp. Bad idea. Depending on your camp, the
water can be dirty. Most people always have reaction
to it.
19. DETERGENT: [BUY from Mammy.] Again, this
reduces the amount of load you’re bringing into
camp. However, if you’re lucky the mammy market
will have vendors offering laundry services! It costs
about N50 per item, N100 for your khaki trousers or
shirt, extra N50 if you want your items pressed.
Tip: The Bucket: Buy this in Mammy. Don’t stress
yourself taking one to Camp, which you’re probably
going to leave behind after 3 weeks.
Toiletries: Toilet Paper, Sanitary Pad, soap dish etc.
BUY in Mammy.
20. TOWELS
21. A PAIR OF SLIPPERS: [BRING or BUY]
22. Bed sheets, Pillow Cases and A Pillow. You
could also get pillow from mammy market to reduce
load.
Tip: Mattresses will be provided by NYSC. It is best to
“double up” with the mattresses, as they are about 1
to 2 inches thick. Lol.
23. HANDKERCHIEF. There will be BUCKETS of
sweating. Do yourself a favor.
24. FLASHLIGHT OR RECHARGEABLE LAMPS:
[BRING or BUY] Most camps, or in fact, all camps do
not give light except at a specific time of the day. It’s
very essential especially at night when you need to
use the bathroom, early in the morning when
preparing for morning drills and meditations and at
night in case you need to do anything. At the mammy
market, there is always light till they close, usually
10pm except on days like the Camp Fire Night. You
can charge them there at a little fee.
Tip: You will be fed three times a day in camp but I
must not lie to you, the food there is nothing to write
home about. They can be nice on few occasions like
Sundays, but most days, they are poor. If you are
someone who loves to eat good food, make
provisions for your own food. You should get some
fast foods along, some breakfast cereals and
beverages. You should also hold extra cash to eat at
the Mammy market. You will get good meals there.
25. PLATE, BOWL AND CUP: [BRING or BUY] For
eating. Important for those who intend on eating
Camp food.
26. Some form of entertainment: Novels – for
those who get bored easily, please carry some. And
for guys PSP or chess. also iPod your and MP3
players for audiophiles.
27. Your Ray-Ban sunglasses for the sun. And if you
can’t afford that, get a Ray-Bon. LoL
28. Get extra phone batter(ies) and extra
Network SIMs. Some network are not available at
some camps in remote locations far from towns.
Once you get your call-up letter, you can find out
(from serving corpers or tweet at me @_NYSC) which
network has the best reception at your destination
camp. If you need data access, find out if that
available also. Instagramers and keekers, if you get
EDGE thank your stars.
29. CASH: Extremely important. You would need
about N15,000. Then between N20,000 – N30,000 to
be ‘just’ comfortable. For those that can manage, say,
N10,000 – N15,000. There are lots of things that take
up money. Things like food (for those who don’t
intend eating camp food), drinks, recharge cards,
charging of phones, laundry, pleasures e.t.c
Tip: You wont be allowed to leave camp. So do not
be stranded, trust me it’s not a good idea. Just
budget 1000 per day. You could take your ATM card
along, incase. (This might sound counter-intuitive
since there might not be any ATM in camp and you
are not allowed to leave camp. But figure it out…)
You can keep you extra cash with the Accounts
Department (as the case was in my camp) while
some shops offer POS services, you still have access
to extra cash whenever you need it.
If you have a camera you can take it along because
you will want to snap a lot of scenes. If you have a
Smartphone with great camera, that’s good for you
because you can easily take and share photos on
social networks.
Tip: If you don’t have any of those, you will have to
pay some guys on camp who do that as business to
follow you around and snap you wherever you go.
They might charge up to N2,000 for the duration of
the camping. They should give you all your photos
and videos in DVDs at the end of Camping. Or you
could wait till the last day of leaving camp and snap
at a cheaper rate.

RomanceThe Rough Things Happening During Office Romance by danduchi(op): 6:47pm On Jul 15, 2014
When Ikenna and Uloma met at their workplace
about a decade ago, they never knew they would end
up as husband and wife. As fate would have it, they
soon fell in love with each other and began dating.
They were soon confronted with a big challenge; their
office frowned on open amorous relationship
between members of staff. Yet, their love blossomed
everyday and at a point, they agreed to take it further
by promising each other marriage.
Knowing the company’s policy on two members of
staff getting married, Ikenna made sure Uloma
secured a job before they got married. Shortly before
their marriage, Uloma resigned.

The same cannot be said of Biola and Amiola who
are software application developers for an
Information and Communication Technology firm.
Both are brilliant and were the pride of their
company. Some software they developed helped
their company become a leading force in the ICT
world and it helped their stock rise in the capital
market.

Things were beautiful for them until they both
became an item. Their relationship blossomed
and was leading to marriage until they realised
they both had…
The same genotype, AS. Knowing this would most
likely spell doom for them in future as they could
have children with sickle cell anaemia, they had to
part ways.
Their break-up affected them seriously because they
were genuinely in love and it reflected on their work.
From being one of the most brilliant minds in the
company, they became another number in the
company.Because of the fallouts of their breakup, a
policy was made against two members of staff
engaging in serious relationship.
Kelvin and Isioma who met at work six years ago got
married about three months ago to the astonishment
of their colleagues who had no idea that they were
dating.
Both were at one time or the other employees of the
year and were favourites of virtually everybody at
work. Although their company frowned on
relationships within the office, because of their
dedication to work, it took it upon itself to sponsor
their wedding.
Adesoye Joshua, an executive at the Lua Concept
Interior Design, believes that an amorous
relationship among co-workers reduces the
productive output of an organisation. He told
Saturday Breeze that he cannot subscribe to such
relationships.
“When people are in a relationship, they tend to talk a
lot and spend so much time on idle chats at the
expense of the company. Especially during the early
stage of their relationship, they would want to be
together all the time,” he said.
The interior decorator said that his company was
indifferent to the issue. He told Saturday Breeze that
an action by one or both parties could affect the
business of the office negatively.
Joshua said, “If either of the spouses is a jealous one,
it could spell trouble for the company they work for.
A jealous mind cannot work efficiently. Also there is
the break-up aspect. It is not all relationships that
work out as planned. If they break up, there could be
a serious breakdown of productivity from the
heartbroken depending on how emotional the person
is.
A young lady, Nike Adeniji who worked with an
advertising company narrated to Saturday Breeze
how she got her fingers burnt because of an office
dalliance she got involved in. As someone who
cherishes respect, she lamented that she got the
exact opposite when she went into a relationship
with a fellow worker.
Adeniji said,“I got engaged in an office romance
some years back at the advertising firm I worked for.
Before, I was indifferent to it because I know some
people who met at work and later got married. When
the guy approached me, I was reluctant but l later
accepted his advances after several rejections. At
first, we were very close friends at work till I agreed
to be his girlfriend. He was so polite and was always
there for me especially when my father died. I think it
was one of the reasons I agreed to his advances after
seeing how caring he was. But several months into
the relationship, I noticed that he began to act
differently.
“Even when I invited him out on weekends, he would
tell me that we would always see in the office. This
was a guy that would be disturbing me from
Wednesday for us to hang out on weekends. He also
became disrespectful towards me especially in the
office regardless of who was around. When I could
not take it anymore, I decided to call it quits. He later
came back begging but by then, it was too late. I have
promised myself I would not be romantically
involved with any co-worker anymore; there are
other men outside the office space.”
The reputation of a lady simply identified as Belinda
who used to work for a leading insurance company in
Lagos took a dip due to an office romance she got
involved in. She was involved in a messy affair
between two men.
An employee of the firm told Saturday Breeze that
Belinda was having an affair with two men in the
company; the Managing Director of the firm and
another fellow worker, Franklin.
When Franklin, who had hoped to marry Belinda
realised she was dating his boss, he wanted to call it
quits but couldn’t for fear of what the light-skinned
young lady would do to him.
Months later, he met a girl, Nkechi, and a whirlwind
romance started. He soon began arrangements to get
married to the girl but before then, he told her about
Belinda.
“When Franklin met Nkechi, they hit it off almost
immediately and they were very compatible with
each other. As they were getting serious, he confided
in her what was happening in his office between him
and Belinda
She told him that before they could get married, he
had to call it quits with Belinda and he agreed. But
Belinda proved a hard nut as she told Franklin to stop
the bad joke. She threatened him to get serious
because any attempt for him to dump her would
result in his sacking from the company. He knew she
was not bluffing so his hands were tied ironically, the
managing director was a married man. When things
were beginning to become messy and the board of
directors heard of what was happening, the MD was
sanctioned and Belinda was asked to leave. Franklin
is still with us but told us that he would never be
involved in such romance in his life.”
Franklin is now a senior executive at the firm and is
married to Nkechi. They have two children together
and nothing has been heard of Belinda ever since.
However, the tale of those who are romantically
involved with their colleagues is not always a sad
one. Most of those who engaged in such
relationships are now married with kids and have
happily-ever-after stories to tell.
So is the case of the Olopades who now reside in
Canada. Bukie, now a mother, told Saturday Breeze
that she met her husband while they both worked in
a first generation bank in the 90s. She said that the
downside to their amorous relationship was that the
company’s policy forbade a woman is changing her
name even after marriage.
“My husband and I met when we worked for a first
generation bank. We dated for some months and we
got married. Our company permitted us to get
married and still worked together but women are not
allowed to change their names to their husbands’.
After some months, I opted for transfer but that was
solely our decision. If I had wanted to remain in that
branch, I would have but we felt it was for the best,”
she said.
Mrs. Gbamgbose, a worker in the Lagos State
Secretariat, Alausa, said that she met her late
husband in the ministry in the early 80s. Now a
grandmother, she thanked God for her work as she
almost turned down the job when it was offered to
her. If she had, she said she probably would never
have met her husband whom she believes was
destined for her from heaven.
Gbamgbose said, “I met Dada while we were both
working in the ministry. He is dead now and I miss
him everyday but I thank God he was in my life. I
almost rejected the job because I had another offer
then. My parents and friends advised me to accept
the job and I agreed. Dada was my boss and I was
shocked when he made romantic advances towards
me. I saw him as an upright man and whenever he
brought up the topic, I could see the seriousness in
his eyes so I gave him a chance and it was worth it.”
The civil servant advised that if one must go into a
relationship with a fellow worker, then it must be
certain that it would end well for the sake of both
parties and the company.
“I do not frown on the idea of being in a romantic
relationship with someone in your office. I would
only advise that both parties should know what they
are doing before they venture into it because it is not
easy to sustain such relationships. They have to know
that it could lead to marriage and so they should be
careful,” she said.

No, Mario Götze, the soccer player who scored
Germany’s winning goal for the World Cup yesterday,
does not have a banana in his pocket.
He is just really, really, happy to be hanging out with
his girlfriend, German model Ann-Kathrin Brommel

This picture circulated the Internet last year, but now

I can’t blame him for that raging boner; his girlfriend
is very attractive.
Though, I would suggest wearing something a little
less tight and revealing — PSA: never, ever wear a
Speedo — if you know that you have a hot model of a
girlfriend whose bikini color makes it look like she
literally isn’t wearing clothes.

CelebritiesDivorces That Rocked Nigeria In 2013 by danduchi(op): 1:50pm On Dec 31, 2013
Many Nigerian celebrities are considered unlucky
with relationships. Many of the unions crash on
allegations of battering and infidelity.
Here we observed Nigerian celebrities whose
marriage failed in 2013:
1. Funke Akindele and Kehinde Oloyede
After a one year, Nollywood actress and celebrity,
Funke Akindele, popularly known as Jenifa, has
admitted a break-up announced by her husband,
Kehinde Oloyede .
"…We want to formally inform you that after due
consultation and consideration, she's now
separated from Mr. Kehinde Oloyede as his wife,"
Ayo Ola-Muhammed, her publicist, announced in
an official statement.
2. Sen. Ahmed Yerima and 17-year-old Marian
Three years after marrying a 14-year-old
Egyptian girl named Marian, former Zamfara state
governor and serving senator of the federal
republic of Nigeria, Sen. Ahmed Yerima, has
divorced her to marry a 15-year-old girl.
3. Stella Damasus and Emeka Nzeribe
Nollywood actress, Stella Damasus decided to
marry her third husband without properly
divorcing the second one. And as a consequence

PoliticsGov. Oshiomhole's Lied, Didn't Fulfill Any Promises To Stowaway Boy by danduchi(op): 1:42pm On Dec 31, 2013
The Edo Chapter of the People's Democratic
Party (PDP) has accused Governor Adams
Oshiomhole of lying to the state in several
occassions and even failing to fulfill the
promises made to the electorate and the
stowaway boy, Daniel Ikhena.
Dan Orbih, the Chairman of the party
in the state, told journalists in Benin
that Mr. Oshiomhole had repeatedly denied that
the state was indebted. Mr. Orbih said the
government had, however, set aside N20 billion in
the 2014 budget for debt servicing.
He described the sack of 836 teachers by the
state government as "tissues of lies", adding that
Mr. Oshiomhole was playing politics with the
figure. The chairman alleged that more than
3,000 teachers were sacked and there was no
plan to recruit new ones. He said the state
government had failed to fulfill the promises made
to the electorate and the stowaway boy, Daniel
Ikhena.
He said people who wanted to help the boy were
stopped because of the government's declared
intention to take care of the boy and his family.
"Government did not fulfill the promise made to
the family.
"People who wanted to help them stopped
because they assumed they were being looked
after by government. We also gathered that the
mother is now sick,'' he said.
Reacting to the issues, the Special Adviser to the
Governor on Media, Kassim Afegbua, said the
state government had never denied that it was
indebted.
"There is no government all over the world that is
self sustaining and without having recourse to
certain borrowings to meet up its statutory
obligations," he said. "What is bad in borrowing
is taking the money without using it.
"Since this government came on stream five years
ago, we were servicing the debt inherited from
the previous PDP government in the state. "We
took a bond specifically meant for the ongoing
Benin water storm project, and as we speak, the
Edo debt stands at between N11 and N12 billion.
On monthly basis, there is certain amount taken
from the internally-generated revenue to service
that debt.'' On Ikhena, he said that the boy, like
several others on scholarship, was in the boarding
house, adding that the boy was not abandoned.
He said that only 836 teachers were sacked,
adding that the decision was taken after the
outcome of the evaluation carried out in respect
of teachers recruitment, population, competence
and qualification.

Nairaland GeneralGov. Oshiomole Badly Injured, Rushed To Secret London Hospital" by danduchi(op): 1:35pm On Dec 31, 2013
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, is
currently battling for survival after a horrible
auto crash which his aides noted that is not
serious .
Some sources within Government House claim
that the governor was flown to London to get
treatment in an undisclosed hospital.
According to the reliable sources, contrary to the
facts stated by his media aide, Kassim Afegbua,
that all was well with the governor; in reality he
sustained serious injuries on his head as well as
pains in his heart.
It has been gathered that Mr. Oshiomhole was
first attended to in the government house by his
doctor of physiotherapist and medical doctor, but
he never responded well to immediate treatment,
hence he was promptly flown out in secret.
Journalists have been making frantic effort to get
the true story after it was broken exclusively
yesterday by a London based media,
Elombah.com, but they have made no headway.
A source who spoke to the Paradigm
correspondents queried why the government is
scared of showing the world the pictures of the
car which carried the governor on that fateful day
if the car was not badly hit.
When The Paradigm contacted another official
source within the government house, it said the
governor was hurriedly flown to the United State
in a chartered air ambulance. However, the
source preferred to remain anonymous.

Foreign AffairsGoodluck Ebele Jonathan And Problems He Did Not Create by danduchi(op): 9:40am On Dec 25, 2013
No language spoken by man compares, in
universality, with body language. Not even
Chinese (Mandarin) spoken by the largest
number of humans on the surface of the
earth, does. Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Swahili,
Japanese, Bengali and Hindi sparring with
Arabic, English, French, Portuguese,
Russian and Spanish - the so-called
international auxiliary languages - are no
match for body language in a game of
universal versatility.
I had the rare privilege, as a 13-year-old many
years ago, of witnessing the enormous
message-registering power of body language in
the humble apartment of a neighbourhood
uncle with whom I shared mutual fondness.
His "tear-rubber" wife had sauntered into the
sitting room while I was savouring the
excitement of humour with him. Within 20
seconds, she had recited the line "honey, I'm
sure you know I love you" at least three times
as she fidgeted in different directions of the
room.
Then, without minding the little presence
disturbing their romantic peace, radiant smile
playing suggestively on her face, she lowered
her captivating athletic frame onto his laps
and delivered the bewitching line "e tie rerin"
as she rubbed the glittering wedding ring on
her index finger against his tingling nose.
Uncle and I understood what she recited in
English because we both spoke the language.
We also got the music she sang in Yoruba,
which meant "you are not even smiling!"
because we were both speakers. A non-speaker
would have needed to be a sorcerer to
decipher both. But without reaching for
sorcery, Uncle deciphered from her body
language that she was about to make a
financial demand. So he seized the next
available opportunity to sneak out of the
house.
And why not? He was well aware madam's
friend who visited earlier had come to sell to
her the idea of "aso ebi" uniform for a ladies'
club they had just formed. This was clearly a
problem he did not create. Why then should
he bear such burden especially with the cost
masquerading treacherously on the periphery
of two-thirds of his bloody civil servant salary?
Unfortunately for him, he would still have to
return home later: the day he slotted that
wedding ring into her inviting finger, he signed
up to confronting and solving problems he did
not create.
Similarly, the privileged Nigerian who was later
to become Uncle's president, Dr. Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan, the day he willingly took oath
of office after successfully seeking the people's
mandate, signed up to confronting challenges
and solving problems he did not create. His
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr.
Reuben Abati , though, might need the services
of a sorcerer to realize and admit this. So
much Abati's body language suggested to the
nation earlier in the year when the cry of the
national and international communities
heightened against the "kid glove" with which
the war on the monster that is mightier than,
and in fact is the promoter of Boko Haram,
was being fought. The long and short of his
defence then, in a newspaper interview, was
that " the Jonathan administration did not
create corruption in Nigeria ."
The Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Aminu Waziri Tambuwal , could not be credited
(or debited) with creating the problem either.
His body language, though, might suggest he
was only hiding in, and test-running his much-
speculated but yet-to-be-procured Armoured
Personnel Carrier (APC) when, recently, he
fired a deadly missile at the President. He had
carpeted Dr. Jonathan on this same issue of
concern for which the heart of the
international community bleeds for Nigeria.
But it is widely believed in the country that
the House which Tambuwal heads is as guilty
as the Presidency on the war (or lack of it)
against the canker which Malam Nuhu Ribadu
would describe as Nigeria's own terrorism.
Perhaps the hands of both institutions are tied
because most of the charges built around the
corruption monster, unlike in other climes, are
"unknown to law" in Nigeria. But not so in
China, for instance! Since taking charge of the
reins of state early 2013, President Xi Jinping
had described corruption as a threat to the
Communist Party's survival and vowed to go
after powerful "tigers" in the land.
Within the last four months alone, at least two
such "tigers" have been caged. Ousted
politician Bo Xilai was jailed for life in
September after he was found guilty of
corruption, bribe taking and abuse of power.
His appeal was rejected in October, barely a
month later, and his life sentence upheld. Also
in October, a state official, Ma Linxlang, was
sacked for "extravagant waste" after he spent
an estimated 1.6 million yuan (about 160,000
pounds - chicken change on Nigeria's free-for-
all corruption terrain) on a lavish three-day
wedding for his son.
Even from the Vatican, a senior German
Church leader tagged the "bishop of bling" by
the media was, in October, suspended over his
alleged lavish spending. Apparently, in those
climes and many such others around the
globe, the charges, even if unknown to law,
were known to man, and man, armed with the
requisite political will, made them known to
law.
This is a big national challenge to President
Jonathan whose political and media aides, in
doing their jobs, have successfully constituted
themselves into the main software component
powering his body language hardware. If the
duties of a leader anywhere in the world were
all about solving problems he created, there
would be no need for his services in the first
place. Nelson Mandela did not create the
problem of Apartheid. He was celebrated in
life and is also celebrated in death because,
putting his life on the line, he comprehensively
solved a monstrous humanity problem he did
not create.
Tambuwal and his colleagues in the National
Assembly would do the nation a world of good
with greater sincerity, commitment and
political will on their part in the prosecution
of any meaningful war on corruption. But the
buck, in the final analysis, stops at the desk of
the Commander-In-Chief. Nigerians probably
voted him into that position believing he would
be the most motivated to go after the local
"tigers" playing graft with the national
resources being produced in his home region.
His duty in the exalted position is to confront
challenges and solve problems he did not
create. That was, and is, his mandate.

PoliticsI’m On Jonathan’s Watch List. They Want To Kill Me" - Amaechi by danduchi(op): 1:26pm On Dec 24, 2013
The former President accused Dr. Jonathan of
training snipers and putting 1,000 Nigerians on
a watch list ahead of the 2015 elections.
Jonathan denied it all, saying Obasanjo should
prove the allegations.
"I'm number one on the list.They want to
kill me," Amaechi told a huge crowd at the
Liberation Stadium in Port Harcourt, the state
capital.
It was at an exciting rally organised by the
Save Rivers Movement - a political group
backing Amaechi's stand on the state's political
future. Amaechi defected from the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
There were a lot of officials and eminent
personalities at the occasion.
Amaechi, who is also the Nigeria Governors'
Forum (NGF) chairman, said: "Today
(yesterday), I am not declaring. I said I would
declare at the new stadium. The reason for
gathering today is to remind Nigerians that the
current Federal Government is carrying on
with impunity.
"There is no rule of law in Nigeria. They are
using police to molest us. Where police fail to
molest us, they are using thugs to shoot
dynamites and guns against innocent people.
"I read the President's (Jonathan's) letter and
he said ex-President Obasanjo should prove
the 1,000 names on the watch list. I am
number one on the list.
"They want to kill me, but they have no God.
The God we worship will protect me. Before
the end of the year, I will address the state.
"They will shoot you. They have no fear for
your blood. They want the position at all
costs. Whether you all die, they do not mind
governing just the land. You must know that if
you read the story of revolution, you must
sacrifice.
Another extract from his speech:
"We gave the President (Jonathan in 2011)
nearly two million votes, let him tell us one
project he has done for us. I have challenged
the President that I belong to the APC.
"If he wants Rivers people to vote for him, let
him give Kalabari people back their oil wells
and I will come back (to the PDP). He cannot.
The President cannot. Instead, he will take
more."
Moreover. Amaechi admonished the people,
especially his teeming supporters, to be
prepared for the struggle ahead, stating that
on elections' days, the "oppressors" would
come with tanks and policemen, but urged
them to stand and watch their votes.
He claimed:
"I am facing power. They should tell us what
they are doing. We are prepared for a debate
with them. "In Etche, they have taken our 41
oil wells across (to Abia State). They are
denying us our rights. We have suffered
enough.
"I suffered and my children suffered, but
today we are in government. If you listen to
them closely, our brothers, who are on the
other side, they are hungry. They have been
out of power for nearly eight years.
"If you vote them into power, what will
happen? They will steal all the money. They
are broke. The ones that are not broke, that
are in government, they are busy stealing and
building mansions everywhere. They have no
fear. I have never seen corruption like this in
Nigeria before.
Amaechi recalled the current corruption
scandal, referring to the accusations by the
CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria), and bottled
water project,accusing Finance Minister, Dr.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala of failure to sign it off.
He said:
"They do not want to sign. They want you to
die of water-borne diseases."
The Chief Felix Obuah-led Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in the state, through the Special
Adviser to the Chairman on Media, Jerry
Needam, however, alleged that Amaechi was
no longer relevant in the Niger Delta state's
political calculation.
Gen. Buhari said:
"I congratulate the people of Rivers State for
moving to the APC. The fundamental thing is
one Nigeria. In spite of our differences, we
have found ourselves as one people. Nigeria is
a country with tremendous resources and
talented people, but we are unable to organise
ourselves to raise this country.
"The efforts we are making is for Nigeria. We
have to put the party firmly on the ground.
We will do everything constitutional to make
sure that 2015 elections are credible. We are
in an extremely difficult position, where a
government is lawless. Courageous Amaechi
has done well.

A young Nigerian woman would like to
share are unsavory sexual experience with
a man who, according to her, is one of the
most famous entertainer in the Nigerian
music industry.
He is one of the reigning musicians who is also
a music producer. To protect the alleged
"celebrity", his name has not been revealed in
this post. Young ladies looking to have a bit of
fun should be careful of entertainers as this
young lady is not the only victim.
Read below;
Our Nigerian celebs like to take advantage of
we females, let me tell you a personal
experience I had with ___ ____ although I'm
not sure if he's actually normal because of the
amount of marijuana he consumes.
Anyway I met him and he kept calling me and
promised me heaven and how I will be his
wife. I agreed to see him & one thing led to
another & we had sex. The condom broke in
the process.
After the experience, I had a bad infection &
was placed on antibiotics for a week & my
doctor suggested that my partner should be
treated. I called him severally after that day
but he didn't pick up. I knew I had been
cheated but still I wanted him to treat his
infection instead of passing it around.
He has ignored me completely on the last
months. I was having drinks with a couple of
friends last night & co-incidentally both of
them were supposed to hook up with a celeb
who I consider dirty & smelling, a complete
drug addict. Admittedly he's talented & makes
good music.
Although they have been going with the flow
but I decided to expose him through this
medium because a lot of other girls might not
even know he's insane. I also saw a friend's
cousin's tweet today that read 'omg' ___ ___
DM'd me.
Nairaland GeneralPhoto Of America's First Openly Gay Imam And His Story by danduchi(op): 10:30am On Dec 23, 2013
He's been condemned by other Muslim leaders, and some local imams have even refused to greet him. But Imam Daayiee Abdullah believed to be the only openly gay imam in America is proud of his story.
According to Aljazeera, Imam Abdullah was
born a Christian, born and raised in Detroit,
where his parents were Southern Baptists.
But at age 15, he told his parents he was gay.
At 33, while studying in China, Abdullah
converted to Islam, and went on to study the
religion in Egypt, Jordan and Syria.
But as a gay man in America, he saw that
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Muslims
had unmet spiritual needs, so he decided to
become an imam to attend to their needs.
"Sometimes necessity is the mother of
invention. And because of the necessity in our
community, that's why I came into this
particular role," he told America Tonight about
his journey.
His first act as an imam was performing
funeral rites, Muslim body cleaning ritual for a
gay Muslim who died of AIDS.
Pained Abdullah said:
"They had contacted a number of imams, and
no one would go and provide him his janazah
services. This pained me. I believe every
person, no matter if I disagree with you or
not, you have the right as a Muslim to have
the proper spiritual [rites] and rituals provided
for you. And whoever judges you, that will be
Allah's decision, not me.
"The beautiful thing about God is that when
you change your attitude, and say, 'God, I
need some help,' and mean it sincerely, God is
always there for you"
Abdullah serves as the imam and educational
director of the Light of Reform Mosque in
Washington, D.C.
A mosque he helped form more than two years
ago, to be a safe space for values and practices
that other mosques may eschew.
In his mosque, women and men kneel side-by-
side and women are allowed to lead prayers -
actions that have sparked controversy even
among American Muslims.
His mosque's congregants are diverse and
represent a wide range of cultures, religious
upbringings and sexual orientations.
For its LGBT congregants, the Light of Reform
Mosque is a rare safe space. But not all of
them are gay. Many are just Muslims looking
for a mosque that accepts all kinds.
Not everyone is happy with the mosque
though. Some local imams have refused to
greet Abdullah, and many others across the
country argue his work performing same-sex
marriage is not legitimate, and that he should
control his "urges."
But Abdullah is firm in his belief. "Being an
openly gay imam and having been identified as
such, I do get a lot of feedback and also
kickback, but that's OK," he said. "I think that
when people are unfamiliar with things, they
tend to have an emotional knee-jerk reaction
to it.
Abdullah has hope that the message he is
working to spread will continue to resonate:
"It is our relationship with God and our
relationship with each other that really
establishes our faith." Not whether you are gay
or straight.
