The glamorous Abuja All White Pool Party has recorded an impressive success with a massive turnout of Abuja celebrities and residents to the venue of the event which was filled with fun and Entertainment. The white party happened after the successful hosting of Peace Achievers International Awards and Miss Ambassador For Peace pageant 2020.
The All white Pool party event which attracted the high and mighty in Abuja Entertainment industry also had the influential presence of Top models, Abuja millionaires and a host of other relevant personalities across different sectors of life. The pool party unlike others had no crowd influence of Lagos celebrities or artists but collective passion and ambiance of Abuja people in a 9 hours jamboree.
According to Ambassador Kingsley Amafibe, the organiser of the just concluded Abuja All White Pool Party, he expressed amazing remarks at the success of the event. He described the pool party as a success and maintained that the next year party will even be greater and bigger than this.
The organiser who doubles as the CEO of Peace Ambassador Agency and organiser of Miss Ambassador for Peace Pageant, told newsmen shortly after the event that it was meant to Celebrate a successful year irrespective of the covid-19 pandemic. The fully packed and entertaining pool party was held at Kanary Wellness Center, Wuse 2 Abuja.
Amb. Kingsley thanked Abuja Residents and partners like Torley Wine, HADD, NCBN, Barcity Media, S963 Media, Jim Colours, Kingfinity Entertainor, Option A, AlexReports and others for making the Abuja Pool Party a huge success. However, the age-long event has always recorded tremendous success stories in the past till date.
Bought these chicken at 3k each this morning in Ibadan. Due to the seemingly cheap price, I decided to buy 5. Meanwhile also bought full smoked guinea fowl from Lagos as well.
Christmas and new year celebration meat already secured.

Sambisaforest: Yes I agree with this beacuse corona virus truly exists over there but here in Nigeria AKA land of difficult people, AKA land of wicked people, AKA a land where oppression, corruption, insincerity, hypocrites, terrorists, are being rewarded and celebrated for their evil ways. AKA country that only listens to violence as a means of communication before demands and needs are met. I rest my case.
Imagine a lot of people have made millions from this covid 19 saga in Nigeria. Keke drivers and other commercial bus drivers have increased transportation fare by hiding under the canopy of covid 19. They now board 4 passengers for a fee of 100naira, 200 naira, each person will have to pay 100naira or 200naira or even more for a distance that ought to be covered with just 50naira. The law states that they should board only two passengers because of social distancing but now they carry 4 passengers and still charge 100naira, 200naira, or more for each person.
Nigeria is a very difficult country to succeed without corruption, without extortion, and all form of vices.
Only I sambisaforest can change this country honestly. Only I. All I see around me daily is faces full of evil, wickedness, extortion, violence, selfishness etc.
Old boy na there you still dey, you better move forward before Nigeria go make you get hypertension

jaybenugo: Presidential aides, Lauretta Onochie and Bashir Ahmad, shared photos of President Buhari receiving a call from Katsina state governor, Aminu Masari, regarding the release of the abducted Kankara school boys, IgbereTV reports.
presidency: Ask for a President beleaguered from all sides, and I’ll show you Muhammadu Buhari, the ramrod straight man from Daura, in Katsina State, who turns 78 today.
In the build up to the 2015 presidential election, we used to say everything had been thrown at him as projectiles, except the kitchen sink. Permit me to update that expression. Today, everything possible has been thrown at President Buhari, including the kitchen sink. Anything. Everything. Fake news. Hate speech. Lies. False propaganda. Evil thoughts. Malediction. Odium. Opprobrium. Ogbunigwe. Ogulutu.Surface to air missiles. All offensive weapons. But the man trudges on. Calmly, sedately, peacefully.
If only more Nigerians knew this President. If only they knew the essential Buhari, the quintessential patriot and gentleman, they would behave differently, handle him with more care, and show him more kindness. Yes, everyone needs kindness, even Presidents.
Remember that song by Mary Mc Kee and The Genesis? You’ve got to try a little kindness Yes, show a little kindness Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness Then you’ll overlook the blindness Of narrow-minded people, on narrow-minded streets.
Too many people have chosen to believe the wrong things about President Buhari, and have ossified their minds against the truth. But then, those of us who have had the privilege to work with him, studied and known him at close quarters, have a duty to tell what we have seen. And what better day to do it, than on his birthday.
Oh, he eats from the President. What else would he say than to sing his praises. True? False. If need be, I will serve this President for free. I consider it a great privilege to serve a man I admire. Even gratis.
Somebody commented that a blitzkrieg has been launched against Buhari and the government he leads, from all quarters. Some elements in the media, human rights groups, so-called activists, NGOs, Boko Haram, ISWAP, all at once. But is Buhari the loser? Not at all. It’s the country that ultimately loses, just as Eric Donaldson sang in ‘Little Did You Know:’ You think that you are hurting me But little did you know you are only hurting yourself Little did you know you are only hurting yourself.
In about two years and five months, with God being merciful as He always is, President Buhari will land safely, and retire to Daura for a well-deserved retirement at 80. And if those engineering distraction against his government continue, it is the country that would have lost. A great deal.
What are the things some people hurl against the President, which shows that they don’t know him at all?
He’s a religious bigot. Really? I’ve not seen a scintilla of evidence in the past five years. Every Christmas and Easter holiday, he calls those of us who are Christians, working with him, and asks us to stay off work, and enjoy the season with our families. That’s not the way of bigots, who would never acknowledge any religion, except their own.
As a military commander, history has it that Buhari would always give soldiers working under him time to go for worship on Sunday mornings, just as he did to the Muslims on Fridays. Yet, bigot, bigot, some people continue to shout.
He’s a Fulani, he rears cows, and all Fulani herdsmen are criminals, that’s why he tolerates them. Really? Some people even say all Fulani are herdsmen, whether they see them with cattle or not. Truth is; every ethnic stock has its deviants, its criminal elements. You can’t just demonize all Fulani, simply because you want to excoriate the President. Did he choose to be born Fulani? Did I choose to be born Yoruba, and did the Ishan, Idoma or Ijaw man choose the ethnic stock he wanted to be born into? It’s a biological accident. You have nothing to do with it. A man then doesn’t go repudiating where he comes from, simply because some people have decided to tar his people with the brush of infamy.
He’s nepotistic. A common refrain, but non-scientific. About three years ago, we did a scientific exercise. We chronicled all the appointments made by the President since 2015, and allocated them to states and regions. The result showed that the Southwest had the largest share. Followed by Imo and Kano states. Then Edo and Katsina. And on and on. But the naysayers ignored facts and figures, and stuck to their false narratives. Nepotism.
One day, the President had given me an appointment to announce in the early days of the administration. By then, some people had started talking of northernisation agenda. So I said, “Mr President, this is the murmur we hear. Why don’t you consider giving this position to another part of the country?”
He looked at me calmly, smiled, and said: “If a search has been conducted for a position, and someone has been thrown up as the best candidate. And I then bypass him because of where he comes from, or because of his religion, haven’t I been unfair to that person?”
Food for thought, indeed.
This is Jubril from Sudan and not Muhammadu Buhari, who had died during the medical vacation in 2017, some people say. You have a clone in Aso Villa, not Buhari. Idiocy, sadly believed by even some intellectuals.
Let me tell you a story. On the day the President finally returned to the country in August 2017, after months of absence, the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Abayomi Olonisakin, was giving out his daughter in marriage. I had attended the church service, decked unusually in complete Agbada, with cap to match. From the wedding, I went straight to the airport to join the reception party.
We formed a welcome line, as we usually do. And as the President shook each person, he had one wisecrack or the other to say. When he got to me, he took my hand and said: “Adesina, this is the best I’ve seen you dressed.” We both laughed heartily, and the television cameras captured it. I remember that many people asked me later what had tickled me and the President, that we laughed so uproariously.
Jubril from Sudan? Would he know my name as Adesina? Would he know I rarely wear Agbada? How ridiculous can some people be?
Another story. The journalist Lindsay Barret had been a long time friend of the President. One day, he sent me to give his greetings. When I did, the President said: “Lindsay Barret. I remember meeting him at the war front in 1968. He was covering the war. There was a day he was almost killed in an ambush, and he then described himself as a ‘devout coward,’ who was lucky to be alive.”
Jubril of Sudan? And he remembers Barret, whom he met at the warfront in 1968? Tell it to the marines.
Ask me for a loyal man, who never forgets a good turn, and I’ll show you Muhammadu Buhari. Among the last class of Ambassadors, he had personally picked Justice George Oguntade, who was sent to United Kingdom, and Justice Sylvester Nsofor, who he deployed to America. The latter died only last week, aged 85.
How did the two men gain the favour, loyalty and respect of the President? In his many legal battles after disputed election results in 2003, and 2007, they had given dissenting judgements at both the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, nullifying the election results, saying Candidate Buhari had been cheated. The man never forgot, and sought them out in due time. The same also happened to some of us working with him today.
A kind man. I have lots of stories to tell, but let me restrict myself to a few. In December 2015, I had lost my elder sister, a Professor of Dramatic Arts, in an auto crash. While I was crying like a wailing wailer, who was on the phone, consoling and condoling with me? Muhammadu Buhari.
And before he became President, when my mother passed on in 2013, and we had a commendation service for her in Lagos, who flew in all the way from Kaduna to attend? Muhammadu Buhari. He sat through the Christian service. Yet, they say he’s a bigot. I hear. Bigot from Sudan.
And in January 2017, I was to receive the traditional title of Nwanne di Namba of Mmaku Kingdom, in Enugu State. Courtesy demanded I tell the President. This man, who prides himself as ‘very stingy’ gave me a handsome amount of money to ferry my friends and family to the ceremony. How much? I won’t tell you, lest you ask for a belated share.
And in May 2018, I was billed for China for a 12 days course for senior government officials from Africa. He said when the journey was two days away, I should come to see him. I did. You know what he said? “Adesina, I know that you don’t have money. But you are too shy to ask.” We both laughed, and he gave me an envelope which contained foreign currency. How much? You think I’ll tell you? For where?
This President is a patriot. He loves this country dearly. A man of personal discipline. Single minded about the infrastructural development of the country. And he’s succeeding at it. I have loads of stories to tell to justify each virtue. But time and space won’t permit.
However, let me tell this final one, as told to me by a retired Colonel of the Nigerian Army.
He said he was a Major at the Second Mechanized Division, Ibadan, when the then Major General was posted there in early 1983, as General Officer Commanding.
There was a cocktail reception, billed for 8 pm. Fifteen minutes to the time, the new GOC walked briskly in. Only a sprinkle of officers had arrived. He moved round the venue, surveying the place, and at the dot of 8 pm, with the hall still scanty, he went to the gate, and directed the sergeant-major on duty to lock the inner one firmly, admitting nobody. Nobody. Yes sir! The GOC went back inside, held the cocktail with the few officers available. Event over, he went back to the gate, to see the battery of latecomer officers huddled there. He surveyed them, and then instructed: All of you, see me in the office tomorrow by 8 am. Yes sir! The GOC walked briskly away. And you know what? As early as 6 am next day, most of the officers had reported in his office. Once bitten, twice shy.
At 78, the President still scrupulously respects time. Do they make them like this anymore? Doubtful.
Yet, many people are plotting, and engineering all sorts of artifices, to ensure Buhari does not succeed. Who loses? The country!
There is this classic Yoruba film, Saworoide, which I watched years back. Adebayo Faleti, who wrote and starred in the film, looked at the stratagems and underhand dealings of man. And he sang, rather philosophically: Koi ye won, yio ye won lola.
Translated freely, it means: They don’t understand today. They’ll understand tomorrow.
It’s better for a lot more cynical Nigerians to understand this President today, rather than tomorrow, for the good of the country. That would be the best birthday gift they can give him.
*Adesina is Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity
What do we need to know than the fact that he brought calamity on a nation and is the worst leader Nigeria has ever had since creation.
lalasticlala: Mubarak Umar has shared pictures of Super cop, Abba Kyari and his team storming Katsina State in style to fight kidnapping and armed banditry.
dragunov: They even lied that they located the kidnappers and have engaged them in a gun battle in a forest. Now they are pallying. There is no country again. Since 2014. This madness will continue forever except there is a breakup.
This government obviously is not ok. You are negotiating for the children's release and you have located where the children are. Something does not add up here.
micronut: Young Taofeek Sheikh is a graduate of The Oke Ogun polytechnic, Saki Oyo State currently serving in Kano state. He recently met an Ebira woman roasting maize, who gave him some maize to eat while going about his national assignment, and he posted about the good gesture on his social media account.
The post generated good feelers REACTIONS, where some people gave Taofeek some money to give the woman in reciprocation of her kindness.
Taofeek went ahead and bought the woman an umbrella to help her through the small business, against sun and rain.
Well, for this rare kind gesture, the young corper got a call from the DG of NYSC, Brig Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim today, which is in recognition of the exemplary virtue.
Nigeria needs more youths like Taofeek and many thanks to Nigerians who wouldn't stop helping others when the need arise.
