CareerRe: Why Do Most Female Secretaries Sleep With Their Bosses? by Echidime(m): 12:22pm On Feb 25, 2008
Thats why is not good for a man and woman to be together all the time,they are bound to love each other. A woman sees her boos everyday in the office say 10 hours a day and sees her husband or Boy firend at home only for 5 hours before going to bed, she is bound to develop more likeness with her boss than the man she don't get to see and associate with all the day.

Secondly,she need to retain her job and have a good salary,or extra cash for her family upkeep,which only her wet PUSSY can assist her got that


Men also do same,like same eating same soup everyday, when they got to the office ,they will like to taste the juice of their secretaries,saying they need to eat vegetable

Na waooooooooooooo Naija people,why don't we accept change in our country for once? Since God create us na soso we dey spray money and yet people dey suffer,now that someone intelligent and who is in charge of our nations currency wants to banned it why are people teaming up against him or against the new law,or is Nigeria as a nation cursed never to accept change and progress like other nations?

One of my friends lost his father,and just for the sake of spraying money at his father's buried went and carried Hard Drugs so as to have enough money to spray,unfortunately for him he was arrested at heathrow airport London where he was giving 7 good solid years in high school without vacation,he was there and his father was buried without him spraying money.

Some intelligent Nigerians are finding ways and means to help nigerians as a whole to change and stop been competitive which will end up landing them in a big mess,yet millions won't support it,What a shame?

He need to eat food so as to have the energy to put his Sizable tool in good use,and food can only be acquired with money,so you can see if he can't work means no food for him and that his useless tool becomes invaluable.

If Mr.President is in doubt of what his immediate predecessor did while he was in office, I should think that in the spirit of the rule of law,he should call for a judicial probe into the activites of that government. Nigerians have been deceived enough.No rational being will believe that as much as $10b was spent on power and no suburb in any of the states could boast of one hour uninterpruted power supply. Queensland, one of the states in Australia is twice bigger than Nigeria as a country.Yet, power supply is not an issue in the Australian polity.Today, they have passed the threshold of power and water, they are on global warming.They weren't better than Nigeria during the 50's.Nigerians have been deceived enough.

Why I'm wary of funding power sector —Yar'Adua PDF Print E-mail
Written by Ben Agande
Monday, 14 January 2008


PRESIDENT Umaru Yar’Adua, yesterday, regretted that while the last administration spent over “$10 billion between 2000 and 2007" on the power sector, there was nothing concrete on ground to show for the huge investment.

It is this lack of progress that has made his government wary of committing more funds to the sector, he said.

Receiving the Vice President of the World Bank (Africa), Mrs Obiageli Ezekwesili, in his office, President Yar’Adua said while government was working hard to sort out and pool together the numerous projects in the power sector to achieve a short-term target of at least 6000MW by 2009, it was, however, not willing to make further monetary commitment as this would not make sense.

“While we are targeting 6000MW by 2009, the $10bn invested in the sector between 2000 and 2007 has not translated into power generation, transmission and distribution, so we are exercising caution to ensure that any further funds to the sector would translate into production and delivery of energy to the ordinary Nigerian,” he said.

President Yar’Adua said he had deliberately decided not to earmark money for power in the 2008 Appropriation Bill because he was wary of injecting funds that could end up not achieving the targeted result.

“I have told the leadership of the National Assembly that the Federal Government will inject its share of the excess crude account into power and the states have also assured me of what they will put in.

Even if all these funds come in today, I will warehouse it until we get a clear direction hopefully within the next one month after which I will send a supplementary appropriation bill specifically on power to the National Assembly,” he said.

Assuring the World Bank Vice President that Government was ready to address all the problems associated with power, President Yar’Adua, said “but more dollars will not provide light, unless we find a project management solution.”

He identified lack of adequate gas supply and where available, the absence of transmission facilities as the two major problems confronting the Independent Power Plants.

The President drew attention to efforts to provide power through the Independent Power Projects, Joint Venture Power Projects and licences issued to Independent Power Providers, stressing that government was prepared to fund only those projects that had secure sources of gas supply.

Speaking with State House correspondents after leading a delegation from General Electric Company to a meeting with the president, Economic Adviser to the President, Dr Tanimu Kurfi, said $40 billion was needed to revive the power sector, adding that the Federal Government lacked the capability to generate the funds on its own.

He said: “Mr. President was never in doubt that the Federal Government does not at the moment have the capacity to provide the funding required for overcoming this critical infrastructure gap estimated at, at least $40 billion in the next four years.

“And even if that money was available, the ideological push which was initiated by the last administration, and which this administration has endorsed, is the need to ensure private sector participation to ensure that the managerial talent which is not necessarily at its best with public sector participation is given the opportunity to show what it can do for this country as we march towards Vision 20 2020,” he said.

Dr Kurfi said the Federal Government was exploring ways of ensuring judicious use of money in the power sector through private-public partnership

GOD has so many names by which he can be addressed or called upon,age long deities and demi-gods as you call it is the same GOD White men call GOD in English,DIEU or SEIGNEUR In french or JEHOVA in Jewish. When Africans carry palm vine and break kola nut,they call upon God in their respective dialete,in Igbo they call him Chukwu,Chineke,onyekere uwa,Chukwu Okike,chukwu Abiama,In yoruba land God's Names are inumerable sames goes to the Hausa's same goes to different traditions and cultures,so stop been confused my brother and appreciate GOD in his Infinite Wisdom and mercy,and thank him for his Numerous names in his creations.

@Seun: check out the friday Vangaurd Friday, 11 January 2008, you will get it.

@dafidixone: I love all your posts, but your been Fanatic here,A real Christian sees GOD everywhere,if GOD is Omnipresent how can we say that GOD is not in a particular church or Environment? His going to Mecca is just a way of his seeing GOD everywhere my brother,even the last POP John PAUL he went to the mosque to worship, he went to INDIA to pray what are we saying here,it is a great Insult and a blasphemy to GOD almighty to minimize his potenses and see him only in one particular place or time.

Thats why I love metaphysics,they see GOD everywhere, in Nature,in the sea,on the land, in the moon,in the sun,in the flowers,in the trees,in Man,in the animal,you name it.

remember when Moses told the people of Isreal that GOD can raise people from the stones to worship him,if they fail to worship GOD,what does that tell you? it shows that Stones are living entities and that GOD is also with them.

Stop criticizing Muslims or any religion for that matter,worship GOD in the Beauty of his HOLINESS and appreciate his wonderful CREATIONS and see him everywhere.

Remain Blessed

No matter how much money a man makes in his youthful days it can't last forever.At least PMAN should have a solid health support for their members at their old Age or during this time of crisis. Same goes to Nollywood soon we will be seeing our beautiful actresses and handsome actors going through the same health crisis only because there is no more money to treat themselves, No one is blaming the Government but at least people worship and dinned with these celebrities when the going was good,they should be able to help in a way,and then the association they belongs like PMAN/NOLLYWOOD should organise themselve to assist each other,I heard someone made mention of Jegede of the New Masquerade thats true,but for how long will it take PMAN and Nollywood to assist this guys in times like thishuh??

W hat is the use of the Order Of the Niger Awards (OON) bestowed on me by government, if it can’t be translated into cash? And where are all those Nigerians who I thought were my friends?

Where are all those Governors who gave me red carpet treatment when I sang at their parties?

Evangelist Sonny Okosuns

Those were the questions of lamentation from ailing Evangelist Sonny Okosuns moment before he boarded his flight back to America from where he hopes to go to India to seek help for the strange ailment that has reduced the once vibrant singer to a mere bags of bones.

He spoke to Entertainment Editor, Ogbonna Amadi at the international wing of the Murtala Mohammed Airport moment before his flight was announced.

How are you doing?

I’m doing good, I bless God, he is good, he is the sovereign God.

How are you feeling?

I feel under aged, I feel thirty.

How true is it that you are going to India to seek medical help?

That is very true. As soon as I get back to America, I will leave for India where I hope to seek further medical assistance for my failing health. Although I’m feeling okay already, I don’t want to take chances, for its taken my faith in God and the efforts of doctors in America to have gotten me this far.

The last time we spoke over the phone, you said God has been the one taking care of your medical expenses, so who did God send this time to help.

I give praises to God Almighty who brought a man in the person of an Indian, called Patrick Fernandez into my life. This man who God showed to me in Port Harcourt volunteered to take care of all my medical expenses in a hospital in Bombay, India.

Mr Fernandez’s gesture brought tears to my eyes and I asked. What is the use of the Order Of the Niger Awards (OON) bestowed on me by government, if it can’t be translated into cash? And where are all those Nigerians who I thought were my friends? Where are all those Governors who gave me red carpet treatment when I sang at their parties?

What happens to your congregation now that you have finally relocated to America?

I’ve not relocated to America. I’m only there because I’m still under medication. As for the Church, nobody owns the Church and neither is the Church mine. The Church belongs to God and any body who says it’s my church is a liar. That shows that whether I’m there or not, God is in control. Since I left, the Church has remained intact.

You have been here for about three to four days now, have you been to your church?
I have sent a message.

You were in the studio the last time recording new songs, so when is the album going to be ready?
Well, I’m getting a good recording label to release it

In Nigeria or abroad?

Both in Nigeria and abroad. I’m going to release it immediately after the new year.

Why would you want to use another recording label after all, you have Ivory Music?

I’m no longer with Ivory Music.

But I thought you were at one time a director of the company?

Well, I’m not a director and I’m not feeling like a director. I don’t want anything. I know God is in control of everything Ido. I don’t want to talk about Ivory Music.

What about your works there?

Well, my works are there. I never had any contract with Ivory so what ever jobs I gave to them I gave out of interest because I didn’t want to move from one place to another.

Is the album Songs of Praise one of those you recorded outside contract.?

No, I was on contract when I did Songs of Praise.

What happened to your royalties, are they still coming?

The royalties are not coming.

They stopped paying you?

I don’t know why.

When was the last time they paid you your royalties?

I can’t remember that.

Your Songs of Praise album is still selling and you have never bothered to go and find out why they stopped paying you?

There are people who pretend to be God’s people but God has a way of sorting them out. There is no way you can hide away from God. What I mean is that there is no way you can hide away from the truth.

Jesus Christ told Pilate saying I come for the truth and Pilate asked him what is the truth he didn’t answer that question because Pilate was looking at the truth. The earth could not hold the truth and so on the third day he bursted the earth and came out that’s how the truth is, you can not bury the truth.

You don’t talk of politics any more?

Yes. I’m not in politics any more, I’m now in Christ. My body is dead but now I’m alive in Christ so I don’t talk of things that do not hold spiritual life.

Any regret?

I don’t regret anything I did. I know I did it at the time God wanted me to do it,

It must be very expensive medically taking care of your bills, how have you been surviving?

God is my survival and he has been taking good care of me and that is why I say from everlasting to everlasting God is God. When you are honest and righteous and you are in Christ, the Holy spirit will direct you in every thing you do.

So it’s a miracle that I’m living today and I have no regret in anything I’d done in the past. God is taking care of me, he is a wonderful father.

You got nothing from supporting people but you got so much from being the real musician that you are?

Yes I worked hard to be a musician and at my age I’m still performing and recording.

Let’s get to your personal health ,what has the doctor been able to tell you that is exactly the problem with your health?

Well, I had an infection in my colon but it’s clearing up . You know I’m very strong. Anybody who has this kind of infection do not move, walk or talk and you are on the bed until you are okay. As you can see I’m all over the place praising God. In the book of Isaiah chapter 38 it says,

To God the death can not celebrate and if you die, you go down into the pit. Only the living can praise him and that is why I’m standing today.

So God is not going to let me die but I shall live to declare the works of the lord. So if I’m going to declare the works of the lord he will not let me die(Psalm 118)

In all your life as a musician, what would you say is the high point of your achievement?

They are so many things to talk about. I did not go to school but I have three doctorate degrees. I don’t belong to any society but I have five chieftaincy titles. I did not go to bible school, but I have a church that I preach and sing the gospel all over the place. So I am a great achiever, God has lifted me.

He told me in Isaiah 60 that I’m going to make you an Eternal Excellency, the joy of many generations and I am standing on the authority of that word.

He also told me in the book of Joshua that where ever I step on I will posses the land for Christ. God said in Numbers 14;28 Exactly what I hear you say I will do so what ever I say comes to past.

Looking back, what would you say gave you the greatest joy, in terms of what you have achieved?

It depends. God has been taking care of me since my childhood till now and it’s a great joy. There is nothing I lack. I have large family.

I’m not a bastard because my mother gave birth to me. I was not thrown to the motherless baby home because God opened ways for me to know that, in all the things that I’m doing in my life and in show business. I may not be the best in Nigeria and in the world., I have not had any disappointment.

I was able to tour Nigeria twenty six times ,no accidents, no death, nothing. No evil happened to me until now.

I have done about thirty three albums which is a wonderful thing I don’t know how many musicians have achieved that and I have performed with other big artist in the world including Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Eric Donaldson and so many of them.
