‘He who consults is never disappointed and he who seeks God’s choice never regret’

What does he mean by this the president should come consult him who the hell those he think he is

One of Peoples Democratic Party Presidential aspirant and son of Nigeria’s First Republic Prime Minister, Dr. AbdulJhalil Balewa, has lambasted PDP leaders for endorsing President Goodluck Jonathan as the sole presidential candidate in 2015 election.

Balewa described Nigeria as the legendary Animal Farm where some animals are more equal than others.

He said Jonathan’s adoption by the PDP National Working Committee was nothing short of “exuberance of wrongdoers.”
While chatting with journalists on Friday in Abuja, he urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to ensure that every single person who feels he or she can deliver dividends of democracy to the people, is given a level playing ground.

He said, “This is about our country. We have had so many different things happening. We have gotten to a point that we have not been able to create institutions. I know that our democracy is supposed to be so young, especially this situation that we are in. But, without creating institutions, we will have no historical lineage.

“In democracy, everything that happens at the federal level, has to trickle down to the ward. Everybody needs to be able to have some recognition, whereby what happens at the Presidency should be repeated at the state level, at the governorship level and down to the ward.

“When you create some rules at the Presidency and you create another rule at the ward level, what do you think we are getting? We are getting Animal Farm, where some animals are more equal than others. That is not democracy. We need to have homogeneity.”

Balewa therefore advised the so-called powers-that-be in all political parties “and not just the PDP to look very closely at other democracies in the world.”

He added, “We do not need consensus candidacy, what we need is to be heard. Anyone that feels that he or she has something to give to this nation, should be allowed. I will want PDP to have a rethink over it. I am not conceding to any consensus arrangement. Let’s face the primaries.

Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has towed the same line with his colleagues and waded into the murky waters of Nigerian politics.
Currently, the bad boy of Nollywood is not contesting for any political position, however he is now a member of newly registered Young Democratic Party as its Director General in the Diaspora.
According to Dailyindependent ,Jim Iyke explained the vision of the party; He said:
“We just want to say enough is enough. It is time power and our policies shift hands to fresher minds, to stronger fortes, to people that are ready to move with the momentum of time, tide and changes. But it cannot be conceivable if you are saddled in that position for over two decades? How can you grow? How can you go with the tide of time? Biologically too, time will catch up with you because you are growing old in that position. Look at advanced countries of the world, and take a close look at people that have moved forward, these are people who have put things in place so that changes will be constant. Refreshment of minds, ideas, psychology, idiosyncrasies will be constant except for Nigeria.

Few days ago, many believed Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola, was a frontrunner on the list of possible vice-presidential candidates for APC in the forthcoming election. However, sources revealed that the Governor has finally been knocked off because the slot has been zoned to the Ekiti/Ondo axis of the South-West geo-political zone. Another important reason was the calculation of the APC king-makers that a Muslim-Muslim ticket like the 1993 presidential election, where the late business mogul, M.K.O. Abiola chose a Northern Muslim, Babagana Kingibe as his running mate would not fly in today’s Nigeria.

The Northern leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Saturday said even though the purported ceasefire agreement between Boko Haram and the federal government was a welcome development, it still advises Nigerians to be cautious as it may well be an attempt by PDP-led Government to hoodwink Nigerians and create a false sense of security for political ends.

This was contained in a four- point resolution in a communiqué signed and issued by the deputy chairman of APC (North), Senator Lawal Shuaibu at the end of the stakeholders interactive meeting which held in Kaduna yesterday.
According to the communiqué....

For starters, don’t pick up the dictionary to lookup ‘Mumugiousity’, I coined it myself but you go soon grab weytin I wan yarn.

As I approach this topic I want to be careful so readers don’t get the whole essence of this write up, twisted. E no dey hard some people. Religion is a touchy subject for a lot of people and in my household it is generally not considered “polite conversation.”

For some, an attack on religion is an attack on their god or gods. I only wish to put down certain points or aspects of organized religion I’m not comfortable with, I am not questioning anyone’s belief in a personal god.
In Nigeria, religion has helped us to remain sane or else we all for donkolowith the way our environment is stifling us. Religion can give people a sense of community and make people feel welcomed. But life is never that simple sha. Kai! Oh lord.

In Nigeria especially, religion has turned a lot of my people into MUMU’s. Instead of learning to discern truth on their own and formulate their own mindset, they’re told how to think. These are the people engaged in ‘Mumugiousity’. For them Religion has turned them into group soul’s, sheep, cows and goat with their Shepherd as their pastors, who have erased their trust in their own intellect and gradually convinced them to put their trust in them(pastors) as the only true men of god, convincing them that without them they would be lost. Hummmm! They fall for this like very poor people would fall for a bag of rice. Odikwarisky…

A Texas college Tuesday issued an unconvincing apology for what it described as "incorrect information" after multiple international applicants received a rejection letter stating that "Navarro College is not accepting international students from countries with confirmed Ebola cases."

The major country affected by this stigmatization appears to be Nigeria, a country which has had no new cases of Ebola in the last 21 days and has been declared Ebola-free by the WHO.
