Freiburger: Yes, the return leg is scheduled for tomorrow

MAYOWAAK: I guess we can in good conscience avoid the necessity of wishing the First Lady "soonest recover" before offering our thoughts on yet another manifestation of recklessness in the presidency. If the owner of the head says she has no headache, those posting get well messages need to stop taking panadol and Alomo Bitters on her
behalf. They have said that she is not ill. She has only gone to Germany via Dubai for a "moment's rest" because "she has not taken a rest since President Jonathan's election last year". That's the Presidency's official statement, released by Ayo Osinlu, spokesperson to the First Lady. Two quick observations, though, on the politics of this expensive rest in Dubai and Germany.

1. I don't understand why it is the business of the Nigerian people that the First Lady has not rested since her husband's election. On which errands did we or our military-imposed constitution send her? How are we responsible for her state of non-rest? She is not recognized in the Constitution. Even in Bayelsa, she is a ghost worker and not really doing the work of a permanent secretary. We shouldn't have to foot the bill of this curious "moment's rest" in Dubai and Germany because no be we say make she no rest.

2. When you are stressed and you need real rest, the Western world is not the place to go. I've spent the bulk of my adult life circulating in Europe and North America. Real rest is still in the deep African countryside - where you can get away from it all, sleep to the cries of crickets and wake up to the crow of the cock, take evening strolls on paths fashioned by dew-beaten legs and just experience that psychic connection with creation. Admittedly, you have to go deeper and deeper these days for this idyll because of the penetration of social media and cable TV to even our remotest villages but the African countryside is still the place to go to recharge your batteries. Mrs Jonathan should have gone to Otuoke - not to the gloss of Germany. Nigeria's elite suffer from an incurable inferiority complex. Westerners would give a leg and an arm to escape the postmodernity of their world and enjoy the kind of rest Mrs Jonathan could have had in her husband's village, Otuoke.

Finally, we must leave Ayo Osinlu, the Jonathans, and the entire cast of clowns in the Presidency with these words. Okay o, we hear you. Madam is not sick. She's only gone to rest in Germany via Dubai. When a man has ten yams and announces noisily to his neighbours that he has thirty yams in his barn, he will eat twenty lies after eating his ten yams.

emmatok: See you are taking it personal.
What had b-home got to do with this.

Kenistry: dnt worry fool.....

Etumgbe: Van persie ...... United's best signing ever::::::::::

papaejima1: Ball of Shiit!!
I've seen Omotola severally in Winners Chapel otta and she never caused any distraction!
Is this whats-her-name better or more popular than Omosexy?

I loved omotola's way of avoiding attention... i.e she studiously avoids eye contact with people, walking purposefully, seeming interested in something just ahead of her feet. Occasionally glancing up to watch where she was going.
Above all she dresses simply and seeks out an inconspicuous corner to sit.

Meanwhile, if people in your church are more interested in you more than in God, sister it's time to change church.. period!

Sorry for ya husband sha.. he cannot call the shots in that home..you do!

Exponental: She was definately a perpetual late comer.
If she really wants 2 attend church services, she can as well get to church before d start of service, sit @ a place dat she wont be noticed.
