CelebritiesBeverly Heartbroken As Angelo Reconciles With His South African Girlfriend by fydence(op): 2:05pm On Oct 21, 2013
South African dance teacher Angelo Collins and Beverly Osu's boo in the BBA house is reportedly back with his South African girlfriend, Candice Arends.

According to sources in South Africa, Angelo is trying to woo her back and the couple have been spotted hanging out in different spots around the country.

It remains to be seen if their reconciliation will be a permanent one.

According to reports, things kinda fell apart for Beverly and Angelo while he was in Nigeria a few weeks back for her birthday.

Not only did Angelo make Bev's people buy his ticket to come to Nigeria, he also refused to be intimate with her, though they shared the same hotel rooms. Angelo said he wanted to wait until things got serious between them.

Meanwhile, Beverly is quite heartbroken but she's staying strong and moving on.

PoliticsTwo Trees, A Forest, And A Storm...(a Parable By Reno Omokri) by fydence(op): 1:57pm On Oct 21, 2013
The Chinese have a greeting which goes ‘may you live in interesting times’. Somebody must have said that to me because I am witnessing some of the most interesting times. I am witnessing a series of events that are proving to be more entertaining than the best Hollywood and Nollywood can offer.

Since these events have been more of a case of life imitating art, I feel that I should also go poetic.

I am in a forest with many trees and all of a sudden I find myself watching a comedy of a tiny desperate tree that is shedding crocodile tears over a fruit from the mightiest Iroko tree. Both the tiny tree and the fruit from the Iroko tree have agendas that set them at cross purposes but both think they can use the other. The tiny tree wants nourishment from the fruit of the Iroko tree in order that it might become as big as the Iroko tree. The fruit thinks it is ripe and wants the tiny tree to rock the forest so that it can be detached from the parent tree and fall to the ground where its seeds will germinate in the fertile soil. It also imagines that it will become a great tree.

But what the tiny tree and the fruit it wants to suck on for nourishment do not realize is that fruits that are ripe will fall to the ground at the slightest breeze from God. As for the tiny tree, in its eagerness to cheat nature it forgets that the juice from one tree may nourish it for a day but it requires regular daily nourishment to grow into a big tree. If its roots do not reach far into the grounds it can never get the nourishment it needs. A nourishment that is daily available to the big Iroko tree.

And so the comedy continues and I keep watching. I see the unripe fruit condemning the Iroko tree that has given it nourishment to the tiny tree and I wonder at its naivety. How can a fruit condemn its tree to a shrub and expect the shrub to treat the fruit better than the tree that gave birth to it?

Does this fruit have memory at all? The spirits that ensure the codes of the forest are obeyed had once told the Iroko that it (the Iroko tree) is the source of the nutrients that nourish its fruits and that since that is the case the previous fruit in the place of the ambitious fruit could not lay claim to the nourishment and should thus shrivel away and give way to the ambitious fruit. Being that that is the case, should the fruit bite the tree that nourishes it? Who is the ultimate loser in this comedy if I may ask?

As I watched on I saw that the desperation of the tiny tree and the ambitious fruit of the Iroko tree grew such that they hatched a plan to get the monkeys in the forest to throw stones at the Iroko tree. And so the stone throwing began. The monkeys threw stones and more stones and as they threw stones a little bird flew past and whispered to them the following words ‘the Iroko tree is not upset when monkeys throw stones at it. It takes it as a compliment because nobody throws stones at a tree without fruit’.

And when the monkeys heard this, they reasoned amongst themselves that the bird’s saying was true and they sought to make a deal with the Iroko tree so that it would lower its branches in order that they could climb onto it and pluck some fruit. But the Iroko tree ignored them.

Then they said to the Iroko tree, ‘we would help you destroy the tiny tree if you will only lower your branches’. The Iroko Tree spoke for the first time and responded thus ‘why should you destroy the tiny tree? Leave it alone. I am not in competition with other trees, I am in competition with my potential. It is only those without potential that compete with those with potential in the same way as a blind man follows a man with sight’.

The monkeys saw the wisdom in this logic and left the Iroko tree and I kept on watching because the comedy was so engaging. I had never seen anything of the sort.
Pretty soon the clouds above the forest became grey and it was clear that a heavy storm was approaching. All the animals in the forest began to seek for shelter from the storm. I saw the birds and the monkeys and the elephants and the deer and the antelopes and the warthogs and all their fellow forest dwellers running to and fro seeking shelter.

‘Where shall we shelter’ they said, ‘who will save us from the coming storm’? They ran to the tiny tree but it had little room and could not shelter everybody. Then they ran to the Iroko tree and it sheltered everybody under its branches.

Finally, the storm hit. It brought with it lightning and thunder, rain and more rain but the forest animals were not affected. They were safe under the Iroko tree. And what was more, I beheld a wonderful thing. The storm caused the ripe fruits from the Iroko tree to fall to the ground to the great pleasure of the forest animals whose hunger was quenched thereby.

That storm taught the forest animals a great life lesson which is that in times of storms, you cannot shelter under tiny trees. The tiny tree itself also learnt a lesson from the storm which is that a fruit that will not fall under a storm is a fruit that is not ripe for plucking. And finally, the ambitious fruit learnt its lesson which is that it is a tree that nourishes a fruit and not a fruit that nourishes the tree.

And after everybody had learnt their lessons, the forest animals and all the trees in the forest lived happily ever after.

The gathering of such a crowd for something that cn be sent wirelessly be it bicycle allowance or posting letter (especially whn the police wasnt notified becos of ur own political 'beef') is STILL A BAD ARRANGEMENT...

sluvy4tune: MBU/RIVERS POLICE COMMAND ORDERS CLOSURE OF ELEKAHIA STADIUM IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP 13, 0000 NEWLY EMPLOYED TEACHERS FROM COLLECTING THERE LETTERS OF EMPLOYMENT AND INDUCTION

RIVERS: THE GESTAPO STATE

Reports on social media and Nigeria Info station, 92.3 FM, a local radio station in Port Harcourt indicate that the Rivers Police Command today stopped the Rivers Government's newly recruited 13,000 teachers from collecting their posting letters.

The baffling action of the police took place at Liberation Stadium on Ken Saro Wiwa Road in Port Harcourt, where, owing to the teeming number of people involved, the Government had sensibly staged the posting letters collection event.

It's still unclear why the police stopped the new recruits from collecting their posting letters, but going by recent unsavoury events in the state, there are now palpable fears that Rivers State is now effectively under a police-supervised Gestapo rule.

Or better still, a state of emergency has been unofficially declared in the state. You will recall that there has been a political stand-off between President Jonathan and the Governor of Rivers state, Mr Chibuike Rotimi Amaech.

People are now at a loss as to why the police will be so compromised to stop legitimate functions of government and infringe on the fundamental rights of residents of the city of Port Harcourt.

There's yet no official response from the police.
A shamefully biased presentation of what happened Mr OP. Amaechi has before now threatend to call people out for protests....where in the world do you gather 13000 people in one place without Police notification and plans for crowd control...wht if a stampede occured? The same loud mouthed governor will say the police wasnt up to the task... The police was very much pro active to stop a mischievous move by amaechi whn the same board had told the newly emloyed teachers that they wld be issued their posting letters online. Nor be only Gestapo state..

Russia is a religious country regardless what the West portrays it to be.

The war in Syria was hijacked by the West as a result of their interest. There was a meeting in Syria where syrians requested for reforms for some improvement in their lives. Majority of syrians love assad and never asked him to step down.

You have been brainwashed with cnn, BBC etc just as much as you have been brainwashed with white supremacy and hat America is the almighty. How will I trust a government that sniff into my affairs, how will I trust a government that that claims they back human right but they do not practice what they preach. No wonder Snowden said Americans are the biggest fools because they are been brainwashed and lied to by their government until they started realising it. Now majority of Americans see it that they have the devil as their government. I want you to stop reading the mainstream media, they are owned by the same Devils and criminal.

1. Jona's presidency is a byproduct of an unfortunate natural event- Jona was a common figurehead aka houseboy under Yaradua-FACT!! The constantly drunk fisherman with a PhD from a glorified secondary school was so politically impotent that it took eminent Nigerians like Wole Soyinka to push him to take over the mantle of office weeks after the demise of his Boss.

2. I am from Lagos and I stay in the SW, I do not need to go outside of my region to have a life. Can you,your family and friends say the same? Gabon, DR Congo are better places to live in than Alaibo- FACT! OR why will Umuibo decide to go and populate countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan?

3. Committing suicide is a better option than the humiliation, ignominy and annihilation that you and your people are going through- from SA, Kenya, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Germany, Italy and even Israel that you supposedly come from- you continually face constant disgrace.

I have not claimed to be intelligent, all I said is that I speak and write better than your hero- Jona. Any person that has successfully completed their O'Levels in the SW of Nigeria can say the same- it is not an achievement to be grammatically superior to Jona and his wife in Yorubaland.

The same set of people that ruin this nation are in PDP,you are here praising them. So you are unhappy with the birth of APC because you too biased to reason that nigerians need a strong opposition party.
if anything at all, Nigeria needs an alternative party:
1. with a clear sense of direction and purpose
2. with the interest of Nigeria at the centre of its manifesto and with the 'hows' clearly stated
3. With better options for whatever it condemns

Not just an assembly of disgruntled thieves desperate to be back in mainstream robbery with hate as their only motivation. The present scenerio isnt the best and there's plenty of room for improvement bt if this APC and a more confused 'new' PDP are the alternatives, then it is GEJ till 2019 for any right thinking Nigerian.
