One Million Likes!!! Billyonaire: There is nothing like Money Ritual. Africa would have been the hurb of billionaires and not USA. The question is, which billionaire made cash via Money Ritual ? The answer is none! Therefore, money ritual, like religion exist only in the minds of the very gullible and the ignorant. ANYONE who believes that money ritual exist, needs EDUCATION on the Art of Money Making, Money Management, and The Science of Expense. There are no other ways to wealth than Transactional, Precautionary and Speculative Money Management methodologies. Money Ritual is myth from the pit of Hell! |

IBB was isolated and rendered impotent by Abacha and there were reports that Abacha was already making the final moves to cage IBB (you know what that means) who was already restless, and yes, paranoid about Abacha's rule (Abacha died before he could rein in the Minna general). After Abacha became head of state, their relationship broke down. Considering the circumstances, IBB would not have been surprised at Abacha's palace coup. Also, there are many conspiracies theories about his demise and those who orchestrated it but your question has been answered, I guess. lagcity: I would like to know what IBB thought of Abacha's leadership. Was IBB in support of it or was he paranoid and sleepless in his Minna mansion after OBJ and Yaradua were arrested? I would like to know more about the relationship between these two guys. I heard IBB was pissed that Abacha overthrew the Transitional Govt. of Shonekan. Is this true? |

Politics / Sani Abacha: Things You Never Knew About Him by Iyaniwura123: 11:39am On Apr 23, 2013 |
-INTRODUCTION What if I tell you that General SANINEGERIA MOHAMMED ABACHA, the most popular Kanuri person in the world was regarded as the most patient man on earth? My Mum, the Ogidi herself never forgets her airport encounter with him, she was thoroughly stupefied at his height. It was fifteen years ago. A man of diminutive stature (5ft, 6inches). A man of fire, iron and steel, the General lorded absolute power and unbridled authority over 120 million souls. Get the full gist here: http://.com/sani-abacha-nigerias-most-enigmatic-ruler/ Not even Generals dare cross his path. Those who did, knelt and wept before him while he offered them tissue paper to wipe their salty tears. Not even a plea from the Pope could melt his heart. Mandela begged him to no avail. No one messed with Abacha. He was gentle. Listening. Cunning. Daring. Attentive. Dangerous. Brave. Brutal. When an American ambassador was irritating the late maximum tyrant, he almost paid with his life. But who was SANI ABACHA, Nigeria's most enigmatic ruler, and the first head of state to die in office without violence (a man of many firsts as you will soon see)? Why and how he almost blew General Diya out of existence? Why his last son was shot in 2011? His links with America's most secretive Christian group, Boko Haram and Imam Abubakar Shekau, its leader and Nigeria's most wanted man? And many more... Known to many as an incorrigible kleptomaniac who will stop at nothing to succeed himself in power, invites you on a spellbinding journey into the rise, rise and fall of the dictator and lawn tennis lover whom IBB called the Khalifa. When IBB was leaving the 'throne', he retired all the service chiefs with the exception of this man: Sani Abacha. Adjust your chair, stretch your legs and let's learn more about the gripping story of a soldier of audacious strategies who proudly bore his Kanuri tribal marks beneath the darkest of goggles. OVERVIEW -EARLY DAYS & SCHOOLING --CAREER & COUPS --PERSONALS, MARRIAGE, FAMILY & CHILDREN -AS HEAD OF STATE: CABINET & PRESIDENTIAL STAFF, HIS FIRST LADY, OPPOSITION, SUPPORT, FOREIGN POLICIES ETC -ACHIEVEMENTS, ACTIVITIES & EVENTS UNDER ABACHA -INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT HIM -CORRUPTION -DEATH -AFTERMATH AND LEGACIES -QUOTES (His Words) & What Others Say About Him _______________________________________________________ -EARLY DAYS & SCHOOLING Unlike other leaders who had 'humble' backgrounds, Abacha was not born into squalid poverty. As a matter of fact, his was a prosperous family with his father owning a successful trucking business in Kano State. The family which migrated to Kano in search of greener pastures, also had a bakery they named 'Canteen Abacha'. -A Kanuri man (Abacha is NOT Hausa or Fulani, that is quite important as some people tend to lump the entire north together as 'Hausa-Fulani' bloc, Hausa is not Fulani and vice versa), he was born in Borno State on a Monday, the 20th September, 1943, grew up in Kano and blended so well that he lies in the soil of the ancient city after he gave up the ghost on another Monday half a century later. His father was positioning him to take over the family's bread baking business and he ensured he got a good education so as to stem the tide of illiteracy in the family although young Sani would be notorious for his truancy rather than astronomical academic wizardry. At about the same time, the late Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello, was promoting a 'northernization' campaign which saw the influx of many eager and enthusiastic lads into the military and other institutions. One of them was a Kanuri boy. Sani. -City Senior Primary School, Kano. -Kano Provincial Secondary School (finished in 1957). -Government College, Kano (1957-1962), now called Rumfa College. -Nigerian Military Training College (NMTC) (now called the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA), Zaria, Kaduna State (1962-1963). -Mons Defence Officers Cadet Training College, Aldershot, England. While a student his academic exploits become murky as some reports indicate that the former Nigerian ruler did not graduate from high school before proceeding to NMTC. The intellectual height and the depth of Abacha’s sagacity is a subject of intense debate with colleagues like General Olusegun Obasanjo dismissing him a dull personality, an ‘expendable brute not expected to rise beyond the rank of a warrant officer.’ Some even cited his not attending Sandhurst Royal Military Academy as evidence of an intrinsic lack of intelligence. But Abacha had a way of stupefying his opponents and those who underestimated him. He eventually became the Commander-in-Chief of the world’s most populous black nation. That doesn’t sound like what a stupid dimwit can achieve. -CAREER & COUPS Here is an overview of Abacha’s rise through the ranks in the Nigerian Army: -Commissioned as 2nd Lieutenant: 1963 -Lieutenant: 1966 -Captain: 1967 -Platoon and Battalion Commander, Training Department, Commander, 2nd Infantry Division, Major: 1969 -Lieutenant Colonel: 1972 -Commanding Officer, 2nd Infantry Brigade, Colonel: 1975 -Brigadier: 1980 (Iyaniwura) NB: Iyaniwura has launched a new website ().

Health / The Heartbreaking Story Of The 18-Month-Old Hydrocephalus Indian Baby by Iyaniwura123: 4:14am On Apr 14, 2013 |
Her name is Roona Begum and she was born 18 months ago in rural India. She suffers from a condition called hydrocephalus (also called water on the brain although not a totally correct description). This is a condition in which there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside the skull. If this continues, the she can have irreversible brain damage. The condition can be corrected surgically but her father, Mr. Rahman, a labourer who earns just £1.79 (that's about N430 naira like many Nigerians earn per day) after a day of back-breaking work in a brick factory, is just too poor to foot the bills for the surgery. In order to avoid the child from becoming permanently disabled, prompt surgical attention is required but for now all Begum's family can do is to make her as comfortable as possible and watch her worsen and deteriorate with every passing day. He cannot pay for a doctor. The operation to correct little Roona's case lasts for about 30 minutes and needs a paediatric surgeon. For a brick factory labourer in rural India, paying for such a procedure is a heartbreaking impossibility. The brain produces about a pint of fluid every 24 hours which is normally reabsorbed into the blood vessels but with her, the circulation has been interrupted, hence the accumulation and swelling. The pressure on the brain causes headaches, blurring of vision and as hinted earlier, a permanent brain damage. Other symptoms include epileptic seizures, convulsions, sleepiness, vomitting, difficulty in feeding, trouble with walking (muscle coordination and balance), crossed eye and many others. Babies often die without treatment or become severely retarded mentally. Now we get to the important part for pregnant women: hydrocephalus is not fully understood and has many causes and for many like congenital birth defects and genetic anomalies, there is practically nothing you can do to prevent it. It is not a preventable condition. However, there are steps that you can take as a pregnant woman to lessen the effects of the risk factors, and these include: -Go for your prenatal (or antenatal if that's what you call it) care. Do not joke with it biko. Follow all your doctor's recommendation and checkups. These can help reduce your risk of a premature labour significantly. Premature babies stand a higher risk of developing not only hydrocephalus but also other complications. -Infections have been linked with hydrocephalus so make sure that you protect yourself against infectious illnesses. Again, it boils down to your prenatal visits. Your doctor will check you regularly for infectious diseases. FOR WOMEN OF CHILD-BEARING AGE BUT NOT PREGNANT OR YOU AND OGA AT THE TOP ARE PLANNING TO WELCOME JUNIOR IN NINE MONTHS TIME: -Before you get pregnant, ensure that your diet is rich in folates (folic acid) which help in reducing the risk of your child developing neural tube defects, some of which come with hydrocephalus. And seriously, you don't need to break a bank before you can get your folic acid which is plentiful in leafy vegetables (especially lettuce and spinach). E never finish o, you can also get your good dose of folic acid from liver, kidney, egg yolk, legumes (peas, lentils, dried or fresh beans), sunflower seeds and fortified cereals (read package well o!). The following also contain moderate amount of folic acid: fresh juices of oranges, tomatoes, vegetables, broccoli, Brussels sprout, pineapples and grapes, bananas, strawberries and grapefruits. You can get from other food items but I believe these ones are readily available in Nigerian markets. That said, one can also develop hydrocephalus AFTER birth even as an adult or child, as a result of traumatic injuries and infections. So, always ensure that your kids are properly belted up while in the vehicle and give them adequate treatment when they get infections (meningitis can be particularly dangerous and you need to ask your doctor if your child needs a vaccine or immune booster if a teenager) and let them wear helmets while riding bicycles, skateboards and stuffs like that. Thanks for your time. Iyaniwura.

Culture / Post Mortem Photography by Iyaniwura123: 11:32am On Apr 12, 2013 |
DID YOU KNOW THAT: In the 19th century, it was the popular practice in Europe and the United States to prop up loved ones, (especially children) who just died, like they were still alive and then take pictures with them? It can sound crappy now but people did it. Such pictures were then kept for memories. This act is called post-mortem photography (also known as memorial portraiture, memento mori or mourning portraits). It is still done in some parts of Eastern Europe today especially with people who are considered to be very holy. Thanks for your time. Iyaniwura.

Foreign Affairs / Kid President Meets President Barack Obama (VIDEO) by Iyaniwura123: 1:32am On Apr 08, 2013 |
Born in 2003, the Kid President (real names Robbie Novak) is already described as an American comedian, a TED speaker (Inspirer) and a motivational speaker. He is a sensation on YouTube where one of his videos has over 10 million views already and he has caused a stir on Twitter. His videos center on inspiration and motivation, with enough comic relief. The Kid President calls himself 'the voice of a generation'. http://iyaniwura.com/kid-president-meets-president-barack-obama-video/ Recently, his dream came true when he met with President Barack Obama who took him to the Oval Office (he even sat on the President's chair) and gave him a detailed lecture on many issues. President Obama also asked for his advice and suggestions and his response was quite awesome. The Kid President once proclaimed: 'I'm not in a party. I am a party.' Enjoy the thrilling video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TssZ9Uma1-w Thanks for your time. Iyaniwura.

Foreign Affairs / The Man Who Sued God by Iyaniwura123: 3:26pm On Apr 07, 2013 |
You must have heard of all kinds of lawsuits. There was the Chinese man who sued his wife for being too ugly, and wait, he won $120,000. Oh, you are gasping yet? What of the student who dragged his teacher to court because the teacher woke him up for sleeping in class? Another classic lawsuit in terms of absurdity was the guy who slammed a $832 million lawsuit against Michael Jordan because Michael Jordan looked like him. http://iyaniwura.com/the-man-who-sued-god/ But the fact is that all these lawsuits all pale in absurdity and sheer weirdness when you consider the case of an American senator who took the Almighty God to a court. It was back in 2008 when the Senator of Nebraska State in the United States, ERNIE CHAMBERS filed an unforgettable lawsuit against God. Now aged 75, and called the ‘angriest black man in Nebraska’, he is the longest serving senator in the history of the state. He follows no religion. His humourous lawsuit aside, he remains one of the best senators in America. He did not stop at just filing the suit, he sought a permanent injunction against what he called the harmful activities of God. He was very specific: ”permanent injunction ordering Defendant (God) to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats.” Ernie’s suit named the “harmful activities” as “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornados, and pestilential plagues…” Well, the judge in charge of the case dismissed the case. Why? God has no address, and there was no way God would be properly served a notice. The Judge said: ”Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice.” But Senator Chambers would have none of that. He fired back saying God already knows of the case since He is the All-Knowing. He retorted: ”The court itself acknowledges the existence of God. A consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God’s omniscience … Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.” After some time, the Court considered proceeding with his case but the case was finally thrown out, with another Judge stating that there was no listed home address for the Almighty and He was not properly served. Senator Chambers filed for an appeal in November 2008, and a former senator, John De Camp and another Swedish lawyer volunteered to represent and defend God. In February 2009, the case came to an end when the Nebraska Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal, and that was the end of the lawsuit. Whew! God! Atimes, you just have to ask yourself what is law? And of course, what are lawsuits? Well, just in case you are wondering, yes, there was a lawsuit back in 1971 when Satan was sued in Pennsylvania, USA. The plaintiff stated: ”Satan has on numerous occasions caused plaintiff misery and unwarranted threats, against the will of plaintiff, that Satan has placed deliberate obstacles in his path and has caused plaintiff’s downfall” and had therefore “deprived him of his constitutional rights”. Waow! I guess that’s a tip for those who will commit evil and blame it on the Devil. Come on, call your lawyer! Thank you for your time. Iyaniwura.
