Politics / Patience Jonathan Told To Go Back To School by floggins: 9:26pm On Jul 15, 2013
Nigerians must speak out now to stop this embarrassment called Mrs. Patience Jonathan. Those who knew this woman before President Goodluck Jonathan became the President told us that what is unfolding today at the presidency had been a reoccurring decimal when Jonathan was a Deputy Governor, a governor and Vice President. We were told then that Mrs. Patience Jonathan must always have her way no matter what is at stake. We heard stories of bizarre things that happened in her days at Bayelsa State House as Deputy Governor’s wife or the Governor’s wife. All these were ignored because she was confined to a small State called Bayelsa but now she is the Nigerian first lady, events are unfolding and they are so unhealthy to the presidency and governance of the country.





Shortly after President GEJ was sworn in as President, her deficiency began to manifest. Comportment, carriage, finesse, decency, prestige, honour and glory that go with the exalted position began to suffer. Any public outing becomes a big embarrassment to President Jonathan and Nigerians. Her public engagements became unbecoming of anybody that is privileged to be called the wife of the President of Nigeria. These embarrassments were of public knowledge and even at the presidency, the matter was well-known but nothing was done to stop the ridicule. Nobody quarreled with President Jonathan because Dame Patience is his wife but we expected that he would have put his feet down and ensured that his wife went for training or back to school to learn few things about social graces and carriage. If it was impossible for her to humble herself to learn, the president would have confined her to the State House to prepare food for him. But President Jonathan did not do any of these. He pretended that nothing is lost and that probably the woman will learn through practice. But has she learnt anything? Not to my knowledge. Her reckless and primitive use of State power has gotten into her head, her mouth, her eyes, her mind, her heart, her soul, her system.





Today, her unrestricted movements and engagement have dented the presidency and Nigeria’s image. Her encounter with Governor Amaechi sometime ago in Port Harcourt was an eye opener of what to expect. In a public function, she grabbed the microphone and began to direct the sitting Governor that his demolition of shanties in Port Harcourt is unacceptable. Governor Amaechi was stunned into disbelief but he restrained himself for the respect he has for Mr. President. Mrs. Patience did not stop there. Anytime she goes to any State, commuters suffer excruciating pains because there will be no movement until she cruises in and out. Last year, Dame Patience came to Lagos on a mission that is yet not too clear except the position put forth by her handlers that she came to thank Lagos women for supporting her husband in the 2011 election. For the duration of her visit, Lagos was shut down and Lagosians went through excruciating torture moving about and carrying out their normal duties. Last year also, she was said to have stormed Warri to open a boutique and the whole town was shut down. Tales of woes have been told of these excesses in other cities she visited but even the presidency paid no attention.





The present unavoidable and unfortunate crisis in Rivers State has also exposed the excesses, recklessness, the timid use of power to achieve diabolical ends. An anti-Amaechi lawmaker in Rivers State House of Assembly said Dame Patience Jonathan is his Jesus Christ on earth. This statement at once exposed the neck-deep involvement of Dame Patience Jonathan in the dangerous political game being played in Rivers State that may derail our hard-earned democracy if the presidency fails to act.





Now the questions are: do we have a constitutional provision for the office of the first lady in the 1999 constitution? Did anybody elect Mrs. Jonathan for any post in Nigeria? Is there anything like the office of the first lady in Nigeria? What is pushing this limited educated wife of the President to indulge in this show of power and strength? Why is the presidency keeping quiet about this abuse of privilege? Why is the National Assembly deaf and dumb on these abuses of privileges by Dame Patience Jonathan and the wanton excesses she is manifesting in the polity? Why is the Council of States keeping mute on these unwarranted embarrassments from Mrs. Patience Jonathan? Apart from a voice from the global personality called Professor Wole Soyinka, what are the elders of Nigeria saying about this mess and shame? Why are the women not speaking out? Why this deafening silence? What about the intelligentsia, the University teachers? Why are the lawyers not speaking? What of labour? If a writer is silent, he or she is lying.





Now, we must stop this nonsense. Those who knew nothing about this democracy we are enjoying today are working 24 hours a day to scuttle the hard earned system of government, but we must not allow this. Elders must speak out for the children to hear. President Jonathan must have the courage to call his wife to order. Dame Patience is not too old to go back to school to help herself. I am 100% sure that if she had a better education, she would have understood her limits and where to stop as the President’s wife.





This is a lesson to all women whose husbands have political ambition. Go and help yourself, go to school, learn the art of carriage, learn finesse, learn self control, learn diplomacy, learn public speaking, understand your limitations, read voraciously, learn about dignity and integrity, discipline and respect for constituted authority.

Politics / Do You Know Obama Isn't The First Black President,and Washington Was The 8th by floggins: 11:58pm On Jun 27, 2013
From The File
A "Black" Man, A Moor, John Hanson
Was the First President of the United States! 1781-1782 A.D.

George Washington
was really the 8th President of the United States!


George Washington was not the first President of the United States. In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson. Don't go checking the encyclopedia for this guy's name - he is one of those great men that are lost to history. If you're extremely lucky, you may actually find a brief mention of his name.

The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation.
This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land).

Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress.

As the first President, Hanson had quite the shoes to fill. No one had ever been President and the role was poorly defined. His actions in office would set precedent for all future Presidents.

He took office just as the Revolutionary War ended. Almost immediately, the troops demanded to be paid. As would be expected after any long war, there were no funds to meet the salaries. As a result, the soldiers threatened to overthrow the new government and put Washington on the throne as a monarch.

All the members of Congress ran for their lives, leaving Hanson as the only guy left running the government. He somehow managed to calm the troops down and hold the country together. If he had failed, the government would have fallen almost immediately and everyone would have been bowing to King Washington. In fact, Hanson sent 800 pounds of sterling siliver by his brother Samuel Hanson to George Wasington to provide the troops with shoes.

Hanson, as President, ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as the removal of all foreign flags. This was quite the feat, considering the fact that so many European countries had a stake in the United States since the days following Columbus.

Hanson established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents have since been required to use on all official documents.

President Hanson also established the first Treasury Department, the first Secretary of War, and the first Foreign Affairs Department.

Lastly, he declared that the fourth Thursday of every November was to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today.

The Articles of Confederation only allowed a President to serve a one year term during any three year period, so Hanson actually accomplished quite a bit in such little time.

Six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) - all prior to Washington taking office.

So what happened?

Why don't we ever hear about the first seven Presidents of the United States?

It's quite simple - The Articles of Confederation didn't work well. The individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon.

A new doctrine needed to be written - something we know as the Constitution.

And that leads us to the end of our story.

George Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today.

And the first seven Presidents are forgotten in history.

Events / The Naked Festival Of Japan by floggins: 7:34pm On Nov 16, 2012
Japanese revelers strip down to wish for good health in the new year. The celebration also marks coming-of-age for the region's young adults.

Some of the 9,000 men who took part in this year's Hadaka Matsuri at the Saidaiji Temple in Okayama, Japan, get ready for the festivities.
It's called the "naked festival," but in reality no one actually gets completely naked. They wear these sumo-style loinclothes -- aka diapers -- as they fight for lucky sticks tossed into the crowd of man-flesh by the temple priests.

The men who get the sticks get lucky. I mean, they get to be called the "lucky men."

They don't actually get lucky, as far as I know... but maybe they do.

What I'm trying to say is, that's not necessarily a part of the festival itself.

And it all happens in the middle of the night, according to the Japan Event Calendar.

Politics / South Africa Arrests Man With A Belly Full Of Diamonds by floggins: 7:16pm On Nov 16, 2012
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African police have arrested a 25-year-old man suspected of attempting to smuggle 220 diamonds out of the country in his digestive tract through Johannesburg's main airport.
The Lebanese national bound for Dubai had swallowed $2.25 million worth of polished diamonds before he was stopped before a security checkpoint at Africa's biggest airport and then relieved of his concealed cargo, police said.
"We used laxatives to remove the diamonds," police spokesman Paul Ramaloko said on Thursday.
The man will appear in court on Thursday. In March, police arrested another Lebanese national who was attempting to smuggle $1.69 million worth of diamonds out of South Africa.

GEORGE TOWN: A lawyer has come forward to recount her hellish marriage to a Nigerian.

She is claiming her husband imprisoned and abused her.

The 30-year-old, who requested to be known only as Amanda, said her husband began to show his true colours two to three months after their wedding in December 2010.

“He started cutting off my communication with my family and friends. He also locked me in the apartment and I was not allowed to leave except when he took me out for his church services.

“I was treated like (his) slave, maid, chef and sex partner,” Amanda told a press conference which was organised by the Penang MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau.

She said she realised that her husband, who is 27 years old according to his passport, married her only to obtain a visa to stay in the country.

Amanda claims her husband’s document could have easily been forged.

“At first, he was polite and nice. Then after the wedding, he forced me to register a company with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) to sell apparel.”

“He then obtained a work visa to stay in the country,” Amanda said.

She said the last straw occurred when he began physically abusing her, after which she managed to escape from the apartment last Sunday before fleeing to her aunt’s house .

She then sought assistance from the state MCA, who placed her in a shelter home.

The party is also helping her apply for an Interim Protection Order to ensure that her estranged husband does not try to approach or intimidate her.

Bureau deputy chief Lim Thoon Deong said Amanda’s husband was apprehended by the police on Tuesday and was being detained under the Immigration Act.

He added that the bureau had received complaints on four such ‘love scam’ cases this year.

“Two of these cases involved people from Africa. In some cases, the people came into the country on student visas but they did not have any intention to pursue their education,” he said.

He also urged the CCM and police to be pro-active in cracking down on immigrants who intended to stay in the country through dishonest means.
