What a fake report. Sourced from Abuja Press without any link or whatever. We all know that the so called Churchhill is a big time scammed turned businessman turned philanthropist. Whether he physically abused his wife or not is not our concern. Just stop forcing the both of them down our throats. One would think that a good man would distance himself from a source of trouble in his marriage (the other supposed actress) but oh well, when you getting your Congo stick shined, logical reasoning gets dulled.

http://newtelegraphonline.com/news/osinbajo-faces-tough-times-aso-rock/
Kai!!!!!! Nigerians don't seem to know anything about 21st century management. Leadership is about delegating DOWNWARD not UPWARD. No wonder our President is exhausted.

The skills required to be a successful Labour Prefect in secondary school where you are everywhere at the same time to make sure everyone is doing there work is not the same skill you use at the Presidency. You put the best people in the best position to succeed and evaluate them later.

If people are calling your phone all the time it shows that you either don't have an excellent team of problem solvers or that you are just a micro manager. There should be systems and guidelines in place to handle various situations. That is why they say that leadership is about surrounding yourself with the best people you can find (problem solvers) and GETTING OUT OF THERE WAY. Instead of doing this they would surround themselves with friends and yes men.

Micro management might work when you are a drill seargent on the parade ground but would not work the bigger your responsibilities are. Can you imagine the governor of my state or the mayor of my city calling the President all the time when they have issues. That would be flat out pathetic.

CultureRe: Does Make Up Make You Age Faster? by davidif(op): 11:47am On Feb 25, 2017
Ask An Expert: Can Wearing Makeup Age You?
We know it sounds like an old wives tale or one of those things your mom used to tell you to scare you away from wearing makeup when you were younger. But could there actually be some truth to it? That's why we went to out skin care experts to find out if makeup can actually speed up the aging process.

“Makeup can cause premature aging of the skin if people rely on it as their means for sun protection,” says San Antonio dermatologist Vivian Bucay, MD. “If a woman uses an SPF 15 makeup, she needs to apply 2 teaspoons to achieve the SPF 15 protection.” That means that if the individual is relying on the makeup for sun protection, then a one ounce bottle should last only three days.

Also, “SPF” only refers to protection from UVB rays and not UVA rays. It's the UVA rays that age the skin and can lead to skin cancer. Dr. Bucay says to use a mineral makeup that contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide because they offer protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Rancho Mirage, CA, dermatologist Wendy E. Roberts, MD, agrees, adding, "Mineral makeup foundation is a smart way to obtain facial skin coverage as well as achieve sun protection.”

It's also a good idea to avoid talc-based makeup because it can dry your skin out. Dryness tends to accentuate fine lines and pores, giving the skin an aged appearance. Dr. Bucay also cautions against going overboard on makeup as you age. “Women sometimes forget that less is more as we age. Makeup should enhance our skin, not mask it. Too much makeup emphasizes fine lines, wrinkles, and pores.” For tips on how to look younger with makeup without overdoing it, watch this video.

13 everyday habits that are aging you
Are you aging faster than your years? If you don't like what you see in the mirror, it may be time to evaluate some of your daily routines. The foods you eat and even the way you sleep can add years to your face and may shorten your lifespan. Here, experts discuss the most common age-accelerating habits and ways to reverse the process.

You wear too much makeup
Metallic blue eye shadow aside, excess makeup can age you in less obvious ways, too, said Stuart. "Wearing excessive amounts of makeup, especially oil based products, can clog your skin pores and cause outbreaks." In addition, overusing skin products with fragrances, irritating chemicals, and alcohol agents may dry out the skin by removing its natural oils, which causes premature lines and wrinkles. Consult with your dermatologist for guidance

So you only believe CNN and NYT. Try watching BBC and CGTN, they are critical of him. But also report his achievements.
PS: Zerohedge criticises him a lot. They are more concerned with destroying the FED than showing love for Trump
Please just a word of advice to you, do not (I repeat again) do not ever mention ZeroHedge as a credible news source ever. Don't embarrass yourself.

No journalist worth his salt would ever want to be associated with a fringe Looney website like that. In fact if I told you to write an essay and you quoted from zerohedge you would lose points. That's one of the first things you are thought in English composition classes; find credible sources. Not everything you read online is credible.

Story. Trumps rating right now is SKY high, don't let FAKE NEWS Media deceive you. The social media can attest to that, Mark Dice, a conservative independent media analyst and Trump's suppoter can attest to that fact. A popular CNN anchor engaged him in Twitter war, Dice's tweets got 50 times more reply than that of the CNN guy, and got 200 times more retweet than that of the CNN guy. So this shows clearly that majority of Americans don't buy into your idea. Incidentally the CNN guy has more followers than Mr Dice on Twitter, The difference in engagement level between the two accounts shows that the CNN guy's twitter account is full of fake followers.
Hahaha, So we are now guaging the amount of retweets as an indication of the Presidents popularity? Gotcha!

A man's character is his fate - Heraclitus (535- 475 B.C)

Like I said previously, people don't change when they get into office they remain the same or even worse because power magnifies who you are as a person. Donald Trump throughout his life has shown little regard for the law at several times in his business career so expect him to do the same in office. But unfortunately that might lead to his downfall and impeachment.
PoliticsRe: What We Have Learned From The Trump Administration So Far. by davidif(op): 12:10am On Feb 25, 2017
So is there a silver lining?

Well the protests and resistance of the last few weeks seem to have galvanized a lot of Americans into political activism which would hopefully pay dividends at the ballot box in the next few years. Watch for a large number of women and minorities running for office in the next few years in both the local, state and even federal level.

So what next?
Well it looks like the next four years are about to be quite eventful to say the least so buckle up. So expect this man to pursue his agenda while the Republicans have control of the house and the Senate. Maybe until the mid term elections when hopefully the democrats can close the gap in the house or the Senate.
PoliticsRe: What We Have Learned From The Trump Administration So Far. by davidif(op): 11:55pm On Feb 24, 2017
Elections have consequences!

This is pretty much self explanatory. When a party or a candidate is voted into power, chances are they are going to pursue the agenda that got them elected in the first place no matter if they are racist or economically unsound.

When candidate Trump ran, he ran on a platform of xenophobia and protectionism well now he his pursuing it. He has started deportations, he has signed executive orders to ban immigrants from certain countries coming to the U.S and they have started plans to build a wall. So expect him to fulfil them.
PoliticsRe: What We Have Learned From The Trump Administration So Far. by davidif(op):
No one governs differently from how they run their campaign. To put it more clearly, the way you run your campaign is pretty much a reflection of how your administration is going to be. If it is full of intrigue and scandal then so shall your Presidency be. If it is well run then chances are you are going to be able to run an effective white house while you are President. Case in point, the Obama 2008 campaign was so well run and devoid of drama that Barack Obama came to be known as "No Drama" Obama. If I can clearly remember, there were no leaks, nor stories of infighting. just a smooth well run campaign and that was just a preview of what his Presidency was going to look like.

Now compare that to the chaotic and poorly run Trump campaign last year that has to fire two campaign managers to remain on track. If the democrats had a better candidate than Hillary then Trump might have ended up in the wrong side of history. It is safe to say that Trump won in spite of his campaign and not because of it and if Trump was facing a better opposition he could have been toast.


All this explains the highly chaotic and disorganized couple of weeks of the Trump presidency.
PoliticsWhat We Have Learned From The Trump Administration So Far. by davidif(op):
Just a quick write up on the craziness in the white house.

I know it's just being just over a month that this administration began but boy, does it feel like a 4 years to a lot of people already. So without further ado, let me tell you things we have learnt from this administration so far.


When people show you who they really are, believe them the first time.


During his campaign for the Presidency, Donald Trump said a lot of crazy and outlandish things, but some people just dismissed it as political bluster. The thinking was that it was all political theatre and that when he gets into office he would somehow govern differently just like some people think that there cheating boyfriend would hopefully become faithful after marriage or that violent boyfriend would eventually stop hitting you after both y'all tie the knot only to now realize that you were wrong. They don't change and that marriage just like the Presidency doesn't necessarily change you. It simply reveals who you always were. So when he continues to attack the press and push for anti- American laws don't be surprised.
