OZAOEKPE:
"A criminal writing a letter to another criminal, telling the criminal to fight corruption, is this not a ZOO?" Quote me anywhere.

Well, I may not dispute your opinion, the problem is just that the master criminal himself is now seen as a saint and the saviour of the world in the present government. I hate the fact that we are being hypocritical. Saraki is no less a corrupt politician than Obasanjo. The evidence are there but Nigerians have decided to be blind to it.

The piece above points us in the direction that we, as a nation, need to look, if we genuinely want answers to our problems. Isn't it high time these corruption-fighting agencies go after the big whale that has negatively inspired its children over time? Saraki, Alamieyeseigha, Ibori, Gbenga Daniel, Kalu and all the politicians that we've been made to believe are corrupt, isn't it obvious they learned from the master thief himself? I think its high time Nigerians start asking the right questions!

(Being text of a letter I wrote to former President Olusegun Obasanjo on September 25, 2005)

Due to the exigency of the time, I have decided to reproduce here a copy of the letter I wrote to then President Olusegun Obasanjo, admonishing him on the need to prosecute the war against corruption with all the se­riousness and honesty it deserved. The letter was prompted by a deliberate ploy by Obasanjo to use the Economic and Finan­cial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to settle personal scores, particularly when he had made up his mind to run for a third term. Some governors, particularly me, opposed to his Third Term bid, were marked for persecution.

In fact, there was no basis whatsoever to link my name with corruption after he had christened me ‘Action Governor of Nige­ria’ less than one year in office as governor. How I turned a corrupt governor overnight in the sight of Obasanjo still baffles me.

Those who knew me very well and what I went through running the affairs of Abia State for the 8 years I was in the saddle would agree that I applied rare ingenuity and courage to achieve the much we did.

Despite the huge debt profile of the state at the time we assumed office we were able to place the state in an enviable position by the time our tenure ended. We did not leave anybody in doubt about our commitment to transform Abia State. I thank God we suc­ceeded.

Read the letter meticulously and you would see clearly that I told Obasanjo the gospel truth. I did not harbour any ill-inten­tion or malice in doing the letter to him. It was rather borne out of a genuine feeling of empathy, knowing that the path he had chosen to tread would lead him to perdition.

My relationship with Obasanjo was like a father/son tie built on mutual trust, respect and dignity. But the way he paid me back for all the good deeds I did to him amazes me. So, I have been kept wondering if it still pays to do goodness to others.

But what can one do? Doing goodness has become a part of me. I have done so all my life. Is it now I am nearing 60 years that I should stop?

I have left Obasanjo to his conscience and God. That is if he has any conscience at all. I know that the God I serve will exoner­ate me in the end.

I wish to state unequivocally that I am not a corrupt person. How could I be cor­rupt when I have not done one kobo govern­ment contract. I have been involved in buy­ing and selling all my life. And I thank God for that. All that I have acquired in life have been through hard work and resilience.

Did the same Obasanjo not do every­thing possible to destroy my businesses? He revoked my oil licences, the licences of my airline and bank. Yet he was not done. He did many other unprintable things to get at me, but my God thwarted all his plans.

I have strong faith in God as a just and unbiased arbiter. His judgment has no ap­peal. When this judgment comes I am sure that I will be vindicated.

The letter:

September 25, 2005

His Excellency

Chief Olusegun M. Obasanjo, GCFR

President and Commander-in-Chief

Federal Republic of Nigeria

Presidential Villa

Abuja

Your Excellency,

I write you this letter with a deep sense of patriotism, and without any malice, bit­terness or personal antagonism. As a prac­tising Christian and as a man fully raised and entrenched in the best traditions of honour and faith, I detest sycophancy and the aggrandisement of self in all their reflec­tions. This, Mr President, is precisely why I have always offered to tell you the truth, no matter how bitter it may be and regardless of any adverse consequences to myself.

I may not be in your good books or en­joy your goodwill, even though I made huge personal sacrifices and contributed significantly, in material and human energy terms, to your rehabilitation from prison and to your presidential campaign in 1999. You would recall that you told me in my private home in Victoria Island, Lagos, in 1998 that you had only N20,000 to call your own in this whole wide world. I gave you my solid assurance of material support and proceed­ed to keep my promise over and above the call of political comradeship.

All of that is now history and I happily surrender my dealings with you to the su­preme and final judgment of the Almighty. It is a matter of immense joy to me that, at the very least, you have acknowledged, on a number of occasions, both publicly and pri­vately, that I am one of the few Nigerian cit­izens you could count on to speak the bold truth to you at all times and without any let or hindrance; nor with fear or expectations of favour.

It is now about four years since your administration embarked upon its anti-cor­ruption crusade. Fire and brimstone have been threatened; there have been swagger and pretensions of a national revolution against corruption. However, I deeply regret to observe that the campaign has not yielded the desired results because the entire effort lacks focus and a strong foundation right from the outset.

The unrelenting resentment of the so-called anti-corruption campaign by many Nigerians, including the media, is attribut­able to the fact that they see it as a deliber­ate ploy to witch-hunt and muzzle perceived political enemies. This fear by Nigerians finds manifest expression in the selective nature in which some citizens are subjected to harassment and obnoxious public cam­paign of calumny, even before any indict­ments are brought against them. The list of those targeted for this treatment makes a perfect roll-call of Obasanjo’s political op­ponents.

The high-handed, draconian, and com­mando-like operations of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Com­mission (ICPC) have, thus far, negated all that our constitution and democracy stand for. They do not hide their bias, nor do they function within the ambits of the laws setting them up. And I must point out, of course, that the establishment of the two in­stitutions is a mere duplication since there are existing provisions in our legislation to deal effectively with the mischief which these bodies are purportedly set up to tackle.

In any case, the most preposterous and incredulous aspect of your anti-corruption campaign is that while the media is awash with stories connected with the activities of EFCC and ICPC, corruption is taking root and multiplying daily in many federal estab­lishments, including Aso Villa, the very seat of power where you reside. I have repeat­edly made the observation that corruption is rife among senior officials of government, especially those at the federal level, and among your friends, your business associ­ates and cronies.

Around you and in your name has coa­lesced a few powerful brokers of corrupt practices who peddle your influence and extract billions of naira in the form of oil & gas and defence contract commissions. The budget is manipulated at the National As­sembly with the active connivance of your surrogates and a few senators, thereby cart­ing away billions of naira through contract padding or inflation. The felonious activities of this cabal, including the foreign accounts of some of your aides, serving and former ministers, are also well known to the inter­national community. I would be surprised if you feign ignorance of this unfortunate situ­ation.

Astonishingly, you have done nothing visible to extinguish this dangerous and sycophantic phenomenon. It seems that you have deliberately turned a blind eye to the excesses perpetrated by your officials and your proxies because there is incontrovert­ible evidence at my disposal that you are afraid to prosecute them for fear of turning the table against yourself. It surely smacks of double standards at best and utterly hyp­ocritical in the extreme to openly preach against corruption while, in reality, the ma­lignant cancer is festering all around you, drawing its very life blood from the power­ful veins of your office.

A few specific examples are necessary to buttress my case: The Abuja National Stadium. Why was the original design for the stadium which had a five star hotel and which contract was won by a Chinese firm discarded and re-awarded to another for­eign construction company based in Nigeria without the component of a five star hotel but at five times the price originally quoted by the Chinese firm? There is unquestion­able evidence at my disposal pointing to the fact that mega corruption lies at the base of this dramatic turnabout.

Why have the operations of the Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE) remained so murky? Who collected the commissions for the sale of Ajaokuta Steel Company and Delta Steel Rolling Mill, Aladja? To what degree would you, Mr President, defend those transactions as transparent?

Why have you found it difficult, Your Excellency, to probe the activities of the Federal Ministry of Works in spite of my subsisting allegation that the ministry stinks? It is an open secret that the opera­tions of the ministry between 1999 and 2003 were a mired in monumental fraud.

In a media appearance on the Voice of America (VOA) last month, I challenged you to openly declare your assets. An exem­plary leader who is genuinely committed to taking up arms against the invading monster of corruption would have had no hesita­tion in rising to this call. I am saddened to see that up till now, you are yet to do so. By declaring your assets openly, you would have succeeded in dispelling any doubts on the minds of Nigerians and the international community about the sincerity of your anti-corruption crusade.

Mr. President, you will agree with me that there are still many other questions that I would have loved to put across to you. But I have just asked these few to agitate your mind and dismiss your anti-corruption cam­paign as mere window-dressing.

A few other examples will baffle you. Let me ask you: Who owns Bell University and Bell Secondary School? I was shocked when you openly denied ownership of the two institutions and rather ascribed their ownership to Dr. Onaolapo Soleye, onetime Minister of Finance. I wish to put it to you, Mr. President, that I have overwhelming evidence linking you with both institutions.

Who paid for the construction of hostels and gigantic sports complex at the Bell Sec­ondary School? I put it to you, Sir, that both projects were financed with the Nigerian taxpayers’ money through the construction giant, Strabag, five years ago. What role did a former Minister of Sports play in the whole deal? What of the transformation of Ota farm, which is going on at frenetic speed? Who picks the bill? We knew all these things but deliberately chose to keep silent for the sake of peace and out of re­spect for you and your office.

The most pressing question I wish to put to you, Sir, revolves around your long tenure as Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum Resources since 1999. Why has there not been a properly audited account of the Min­istry of Petroleum Resources since then de­spite the outcries by the people for this to be done? There is indisputable evidence that all the major deals in the nation’s oil sec­tor are being handled by you, through your cronies and agents. What about the leakages and the fraud at the Nigerian National Petro­leum Corporation (NNPC), with particular reference to crude oil sales and the accrued commissions? What have you done to check the malfeasance?

You have, on occasions, accused top gov­ernment functionaries, especially the gover­nors, of owning foreign accounts. Can you, in all sincerity, Sir, swear that you do not own foreign account(s)? There is evidence that you own foreign accounts, including a platinum credit card recently opened for you through which you charge your foreign ac­count and make purchases abroad.

I am deeply troubled by the drift and dangerous direction that things are taking in this country under your leadership. I fear for the masses of our country who live under dehumanising conditions. The economy has virtually collapsed, and the once growing and thriving middle class has been eviscer­ated. Everything is in a shambles, yet, we make millions of dollars daily from crude oil sales. An average Nigerian lives on 60 cents (N78) a day. Is this not a shame and a big scar on our collective psyche?

Mr. President, we simply cannot carry on like this. If we continue this way, then we are invariably inviting anarchy and cata­clysm upon our nation. The patience of Ni­gerians is fast running out, and it behoves you to take the bull by the horns and salvage the situation before it consumes all of us.
As I said at the beginning, this is a message that should challenge your statesmanship and patriotic zeal. You have an opportunity to write your name in gold if you can begin today to make amends. It is absolutely imperative that you redirect your energies to only gainful and edifying activities befitting your exalted office instead of hounding and persecuting innocent citizens just for refusing to dance to your dictates.

I am a straight forward, transparent and focused man. I call a spade a spade not minding whose ox is gored. I have demonstrated this through my dedicated service to the people of my state and through my long and profitable years in the private sector.

I refer you to Galatians 6:7-8, and wish to state in my conclusion that any­body who wants to come to equity must come with clean hands, and those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

You may not bother to like me and I do not crave your affection. But I have written as a senior citizen of this republic troubled by the deplorable state of our union. I sincerely hope that you will pay some heed to my admonitions. In all your dealings with Nigeria and Nigerians, may the burden of your con­science weigh in favour of the interest of our beloved nation!

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Yours Sincerely,

Orji Uzor Kalu

Executive Governor of Abia State

So what happened to "the only thing i want in life is to spend the rest of my life with you"?

Cock and bull story! Even the OP does not believe the tale!

To be honest I never knew this man is from Ondo state. I had always thought he is a south-southerner.

EggovinMma:
Believe me, I am one of the happiest girl on earth, do you know why? I really do not have secret. Again, I don't force people to like me by pretending to be who I am not.Too lazy to lift that much load around.

Please stop! Just stop! Can u do everybody a favour? Get lost and self-destruct!

You dnt have a secret and you're human! Your background is faulty. You dnt even have wisdom to choose ur words as a lady. You've succeeded in making yourself the centre of distraction. Even Gaborone, a female like you, feels disdain with your choice of words. That should tell you a lot. You are obviously on a wrong path. Amend your ways!

EggovinMma:
I wish I read this.

Eyah...am not surprised. An olosho will never have time to read. You've just misused one lifeline, you've got only one remaining.

EggovinMma:
And he had to bring her private life to nairaland?

But he wanted to fuccck her as well, so what's the difference between him and the manager, despite knowing she has a serious boyfriend? Look, in this harsh economy, there no time to play mumu!

That's one bad thing about extending a handshake, some silly folks will grab the whole arm.She shouldn't have allowed him access to her phone from the onset. He will lose his job if he continues like this.

Shut that thing you call a mouth and be real for once. Must you always expose how much of a slut you are? I read all your comments and I must say I'm ashamed for u. There's nothing more to know about you, your comments have clearly defined you. Its obvious you indulge in same act.

You just carry the matter for head like say na you the guy dey talk about. Instead to hit on the lady whose sexcapades with her boss needs to be condemed and discouraged, in your foolishness, you chose to attack the OP. What you need is a re-orientation. Its obvious that you've watched too many oyinbo movies and in your delusion you think you are one. Privacy my foot. Between the lady's privacy and her sexcapades which do u think carries more weight. Who talks about privacy when a much more important issue has unfolded. I pity u!!!

Aiit! Thanks a mil!

dabosuker:
[b]Na wao o, OP!
please do some research & try to experience a Lumia phone , haba!..how can you say something like that
its so surprising & maybe annoying how the OP makes a Lumia phone look very ordinary , like maybe a "3310"?? Old folks alone use lumia like seriously ...how is that even possible ? when most young folks that use android fones, do not even know their way around a windows phone , Yes its true! . most of the post on this thread confirms it, a lot of what most nigerians say about windows phone is from ignorance.
how can some1 say you don"t have Bluetooth & NFC in windows phone haba!, the last time I checked (5mins ago) the almighty IPhone got no Bluetooth & NFC, & no one talks about that or maybe Op does not know that.
Someone say they can not download or upload pics on Nairaland?? even with internet explorer 11 ?? not to talk about UC browser & opera mini?? or the new edge browser,.. that's simply because u don't know your way around windows phone please ..its annoying ...ask for help , we have a windows phone thread on Nairaland visit please .
and then someone talking about banking apps, please like some other windows phone user posted, the apps are there, well most of them (basic apps) & there are third party apps to get you there , personally I do internet banking & I don't even bother to use apps, I use the native browser (Internet explorer 11 or Edge) & its cool for me, cause it feels like I never left my laptop or pc, I get full functionality. that's my preference.
someone was even saying you cannot open pdf files on windows phone what?? that's like an american saying "Africa is full of monkeys", just because he/she has never visited Africa. even with my 9210 or 9300 nokia communicator running Symbian or my Xda exec running windows mobile 5, I open word & PDF files, how much more windows 8.1 OS, please love Android if u will ,but don't play down lumia like that .

Then Imagine someone comparing multitasking in Lumia 925 to Samsung S6 why would you do that?? you should have first list the specification of both phones & the year of production & see if its fair , the both phones are at least 3yrs apart , its not a fair comparison to start with, but I bet you the camera on the lumia 925 would match up with that on the S6, if not beat it
Yes you can talk about Apps, yeah maybe more apps on Android & IOS, because they are a more open OS so developers rush in & then all sorts of apps both useful & useless are pushed in exposing the OS to viruses & malware. Personally I don't look for much apps , the basic apps & a few third party apps get me going, after all among the numerous apps , how many can u really put in your phone.
If Android works for you fine! If its IOS fine! If its BB fine! & if its windows phone or windows mobile Fine too! but don't spread stories without fact or proper research .

And to answer your question, I use a Lumia & am not Elderly and I use my phone for the following
make calls
send texts, receive mails, send mails with attachment, listen to music, create word & EXCEL documents , view presentations, Open & convert PDFs, snap pictures, record videos & make toy home videos, scan documents (I no longer use my scanner), watch movies, play mild games, find my way around (Maps & Navigation), chat on social media, do online banking & purchase, flight bookings, post on naira land, keep record of finances & daily expense, stay updated about my interest in life..etc. ..Please OP windows phone or lumia phones are not useless, because they not working for you.
I once saw a DP on BBM & it read ; IPhone is for Rich people, Android is for Every person on the street, Windows phone is for the Educated & classy. Its just choice , if everything was the same we would not appreciate diversity[/b][/color][color=#000099]

Bro pls can u tell me the app that u use for scanning. I use a lumia too and I'm finding it difficult making a choice on which of the scanning apps to choose.

I presently use a sony experia, a blackberry and a microsoft lumia 540 phone that i bought recently, and i can confidently tell y'all that my lumia can do just about everything i do with my sony experia and the BB with same ease and speed. Its an entirely new experience that i'm relishing.

mrsuccessful:
First question

Just 2! The couple!

Smh! Just when I thought this is another opportunity to break into a downstream oil and gas company, I saw this..."with a minimum of 10yrs experience in plant maintenance".

Dem dey steal experience for market? Foolish people!!!

If u know how to perform cunninlingus, big size or small size, u'll be seen as king always.

HE (a man) that finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the lord, not SHE that finds a husband...

Any woman that succeeds in doing this has only succeeded in shooting herself on the foot. Majority of the male folks will take advantage of this impatience.

Some people, regardless of what they lack—money, looks, or social connections—always radiate with energy and confidence. Even the most skeptical individuals find themselves enamored with these charming personalities.

These people are the life of every party. They’re the ones you turn to for help, advice, and companionship.

You just can’t get enough of them, and they leave you asking yourself, "What do they have that I don’t? What makes them so irresistible?"

The difference? Their sense of self-worth comes from within.

Irresistible people aren’t constantly searching for validation, because they’re confident enough to find it in themselves. There are certain habits they pursue every day to maintain this healthy perspective.

Since being irresistible isn’t the result of dumb luck, it’s time to study the habits of irresistible people so that you can use them to your benefit.

Get ready to say “hello” to a new, more irresistible you.

1. They Treat EVERYONE With Respect

Whether interacting with their biggest client or a server taking their drink order, irresistible people are unfailingly polite and respectful. They understand that—no matter how nice they are to the person they’re having lunch with—it’s all for naught if that person witnesses them behaving badly toward someone else. Irresistible people treat everyone with respect because they believe they’re no better than anyone else.

2. They Follow The Platinum Rule

The Golden Rule—treat others as you want to be treated—has a fatal flaw: it assumes that all people want to be treated the same way. It ignores that people are motivated by vastly different things. One person loves public recognition, while another loathes being the center of attention.

The Platinum Rule—treat others as they want to be treated—corrects that flaw. Irresistible people are great at reading other people, and they adjust their behavior and style to make others feel comfortable.

3. They Ditch The Small Talk

There’s no surer way to prevent an emotional connection from forming during a conversation than by sticking to small talk. When you robotically approach people with small talk this puts their brains on autopilot and prevents them from having any real affinity for you. Irresistible people create connection and find depth even in short, every day conversations. Their genuine interest in other people makes it easy for them to ask good questions and relate what they’re told to other important facets of the speaker’s life.

4. They Focus On People More Than Anything Else

Irresistible people possess an authentic interest in those around them. As a result, they don’t spend much time thinking about themselves. They don’t obsess over how well they’re liked, because they’re too busy focusing on the people they’re with. It’s what makes their irresistibility seem so effortless.

To put this habit to work for you, try putting down the smart phone and focusing on the people you’re with. Focus on what they’re saying, not what your response will be, or how what they’re saying will affect you. When people tell you something about themselves, follow up with open-ended questions to draw them out even more.

5. They Don’t Try Too Hard

Irresistible people don’t dominate the conversation with stories about how smart and successful they are. It’s not that they’re resisting the urge to brag. The thought doesn’t even occur to them because they know how unlikeable people are who try too hard to get others to like them.

6. They Recognize The Difference Between Fact And Opinion

Irresistible people handle controversial topics and touchy subjects with grace and poise. They don’t shrink from sharing their opinions, but they make it clear that they’re opinions, not facts. Whether discussing global warming, politics, vaccine schedules, or GMO foods, irresistible people recognize that many people who are just as intelligent as they are see things differently.

7. They Are Authentic

Irresistible people are who they are. Nobody has to burn up energy or brainpower trying to guess their agenda or predict what they’ll do next. They do this because they know that no one likes a fake.

People gravitate toward authentic individuals because they know they can trust them. It’s easy to resist someone when you don’t know who they really are and how they really feel.

8. They Have Integrity

People with high integrity are irresistible because they walk their talk, plain and simple. Integrity is a simple concept but a difficult thing to practice. To demonstrate integrity every day, irresistible people follow through, they avoid talking bad about other people, and they do the right thing, even when it hurts.

9. They Smile

People naturally (and unconsciously) mirror the body language of the person they’re talking to. If you want people to find you irresistible, smile at them during conversations and they will unconsciously return the favor and feel good as a result.

10. They Make An Effort To Look Their Best (Just Not Too Much Of An Effort)

There’s a massive difference between being presentable and being vain. Irresistible people understand that making an effort to look your best is comparable to cleaning your house before company comes—it’s a sign of respect for others. But once they’ve made themselves presentable, they stop thinking about it.

11. They Find Reasons To Love Life

Irresistible people are positive and passionate. They’re never bored, because they see life as an amazing adventure and approach it with a joy that other people want to be a part of.

It’s not that irresistible people don’t have problems—even big ones—but they approach problems as temporary obstacles, not inescapable fate. When things go wrong, they remind themselves that a bad day is just one day, and they keep hope that tomorrow or next week or next month will be better.

Bringing It All Together

Irresistible people do not have fairy godmothers hovering over their cribs. They’ve simply perfected certain appealing qualities and habits that anyone can adopt as their own.

They think about other people more than they think about themselves, and they make other people feel liked, respected, understood, and seen. Just remember: the more you focus on others, the more irresistible you’ll be.

Angie Houston from Texas claims she is the victim of rape by a pig. She said her pig raped her and took her virginity away one night when she was coming home from playing miniature golf. See Tori o..
 
Angie Houston said that the 400lb pig named Pete jumped on her and raped her after she came home from a  round of miniature golf.

“People think I’m crazy and need mental help because of my story. They ask how’d the pig get my panties off to mount me?  I wasn’t wearing any panties is how! This pig been hot for me for years. Constantly sniffing at my genitals. He’s tried to rape me a hundred times. This is just the first time he successfully got inside me" claims Houston.

Angie is now 7 months pregnant with her baby that could possibly be half Human and half Pig after being raped and promising her parents that she has never willingly had sex with anyone due to her religious beliefs.

Her parents say that they believe and back up her story as their religion forbids sex before marriage. Her father, Don,  said to the Dallas Morning News: “Angie knows she can’t have sex until she’s married and she promises she hasn’t “Pete has always been a bad tempered little sod and very difficult to handle most of the time, especially when he is being sexual towards my daughter. I am not surprised that this rape has happened, I am surprised it took so long if I’m honest. “After this incident, I sent Pete off to the slaughter house for sausages and bacon which is helping to feed Angela and her baby; after all, she’s eating for two now and needs a lot of extra meat.”

Not surprisingly Angie Houston has refused to go to the hospital to get a scan. She says she wants to be surprised when she sees her pig baby.
 
The picture below is a prediction of what Angela’s baby will look like which she referred to as a “mutant pig”: “I just want to wait and be surprised bywhat my baby looks like,” Angie said. “My hope is that it’s not a mutant pig of some kind and it just comes out looking like a normal human baby”.

tempest69:
All hail the jobless barcanista hope u have seen this

. @barcanista
I have read some of your posts in the past and I must confess that you have something to offer provided you are able to channel your energy towards resourceful endeavours. You are incredibly talented no doubt and have that magnetic power to always attract attention to yourself wherever you are. You have this imposing personality that makes you to be easily noticeable anywhere you are. But the problem with your kind of people is that you always end up exaggerating your prowess and see yourself as being the best thing to have happened to this universe. The people like you ended up with a bigger-than-life complex and therefore ruin the enormous talents they are loaded with. 
Hello brother, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to destroy you but to help you in retracing your step back to your normal self so that humanity can benefit from your latent and consuming energies the Power Above has deemed it fit to bestow on you.
The problem with you is that you are trying to cover your shortcomings, and in doing so, you bring in all your prowess as identified above (and many more) to convince yourself that you are still who you are. The first complex I noticed in you is the Infallibility Complex or the god complex wherein you convince yourself that you can never make a mistake. How do I mean, just a second.
I will like to take you back to your switched-over postthat inadvertently altered your natural configurations. Initially that post is meant to express an independent opinion different from the popular one among your peers; to be sincere with you - the post was innocuous - but you misfired because the time of that post and circumstances playing out around that time made it inappropriate. That was the mistake you made and in trying to convince others to see it your way, you ended up exposing your other vulnerabilities. So people can see the other side of you. If you'll agree with me, the reactions you got to that post really hurt you bad, my brother. And since then, you have been on the revenge mission to take back your pride by defeating your imaginary "enemies" (your once trusted comrades). Since you are always an opinion moulder, you believe you couldn't do it alone, hence your switch-over to the other side. 
Your case is like a commander in a battle that have given his best to winning a battle and suddenly found himself to be betrayed by his fellow comrades when the victory is almost within the reach. So what did you do? You decided to declare an all out war on your "new enemies" forgetting that you have exposed them to all your strengths and weaknesses when they were still on your side. You have invested heavily in the campaign for APC in trying to convince yourself that you made the right choice. And that is your second mistake, because you failed to realise that not all those who are with you today will be by your side when the chips are down.
So since then, like a drowning man, you have been clutching to anything within your reach to erase your past and relaunch yourself back to reckoning. You forget Robert Green's "The non-engagement Strategy of War" in his 33 strategies of war you should apply to Everyday Life.
The Non-Engagement Strategy
To retreat in the face of a strong enemy is not a sign of weakness but of strength. By resisting the temptation to respond to an aggressor, you buy yourself valuable time — time to recover, to think, to gain perspective. Sometimes you can accomplish most by doing nothing.
So my brother there you have it. In your effort to combat your former self, you have destroyed your reputations and made yourself ordinary. I know you are burning inside to attack me, but take a moment to ponder. Go back to your pre-February 26 posts and compare it to what you posted thereafter. Therein lies the answer to your problem. 
From then onwards, you developed what is termed Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). To help you, take a cursory look at the following:
Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:
Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

So much for the long epistle, but before I go, let me leave you with the following:
Please know that we have had fine individuals of brilliant mind like you in this forum and will never be short of them. Some are still with us though somehow inactive while some have deactivated their accounts long time ago. Prior to 2011 elections, there was once a certain moniker by the name beaf. He was very influential and was a thorn in the flesh for some people just like you prior to Feb 26th. Now it is your time to shine in this 2015 election period and I give it to you, you are one hell of a guy. It is very rare to find someone who will create a thread and within some moments, the thread will grow to like 10 and above pages. Oh boy, you try. But please, don't let that your energy drains away on a fruitless battle. 

The Buhari battle is too strong for you to fight because it was revealed to you long time ago when you yourself were not even sure of its reality. Your signature then was that two things will happen in May this year, Buhari being crowned as the Nigeria President and Barcelona being crowned the UEFA Champion. The two events have already taken place even though one of them to your detriment. Don't sweat it. Take your time off politics because as it is now, that part of you has been infected. Use your energy elsewhere to benefit humanity. 

It's good to know you now have a blog of your own. In the meantime, while you are trying to reconfigure your political life, put your prowess into use by writing on other human endeavours aside politics. By the time you relaunch yourself, my brother, you will come out smoking.

Find time to heal yourself. I have helped you identify your complex, make efforts to find solution to it. HEAL THYSELF, OH BARCANISTA.

Stop being a fool broda! Olisah Metuh has raised some vital issues, dats wat we should be debating, not bringing up personal issues. If u have an issue with barcanista, open a new thread nd pray that the mods bring it to front page.

Saraki is by far a better option than his opponent. By experience, maturity, and the ability to bring balance to the debate between the major political parties in the house, he far outweighs his rival. His decision to give the deputy senate sit to PDP goes a long way to show the maturity in him.

Are we moving into the era of political fanatism? The way nairalanders take sides with politicians and their parties, I won't be surprised if southerners also start detonating themselves because of their political leanings.

Icecream4U:
did you do any professional course? what are your qualifications?? these are more important as it will help other job seekers out there on the path to take.

abbey621:
Congrats but when posting news like this try to be more specific. People would like to know the name of the position, your qualifications and if possible the name of the company. Furthermore I'm sure a lot of people would like info. such as: How you submitted your C.V, what the interview process was like and so on. You can help a lot of people out by giving them crucial techniques that might have helped you out.

These are the two most sensible comments on this thread so far. Information/knowledge that is spiced up with prayers and hardwork is all a human needs to succeed. Just an intangible proportion succeed by luck. So, instead of everyone claiming their own portion of the OP's testimony, let us collectively ask him/her to furnish us with details that can be helpful. Not necessarily personal details, we do not even need to know the name of the firm or how much the pay is, just tell us how the process went, lessons learned, what u would do differently, etc.
