excerpt: Oshiomhole said “around this time last year, the tension in Nigeria was such that Prophets of doom around the world were almost unanimous that Nigeria would not survive 2015 but as you can see, man proposes, God disposes.


THAT WAS UPTURN BY ONE MAN: GEJ

WE SHOULDN'T FORGET THAT.

excerpt:“Since he is taller than me, he needs to dig the hole deep enough so that either of us can get in. In the end, he is inside the hole and I am busy putting dust into that hole”.

_The recruitment itself is cash-generative.

Imagine if the forms will be sold for, say 2000, per applicant. By the time close to 500k people(yes 500k) applied, that would be close to a billion generated from the sales of forms alone.

N3,489,750,000 for feeding 10,000 people?

Simple Mathematics shows N348,975 per head

what are they going to feed them with like that, and for how long..? Maybe till they serve and retire from NPF...smh

Wizkid no get chill at all..DK next time, know how to pick your fight or ask Olamide for guidance

A Nigerian undergraduate student, Ado Abdulkadir, has won an Indian music reality show competition, after defeating over 8,000 native Indians.

The Kano-born youth, whose spectacular outings surprised spectators and the judges, joined more than 8,000 Indians in the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa song and dance competition.

The video clip of Abdulkadir, dancing and singing Indian music kitted in Indian attire, went viral on social media over the weekend, with more than 40,000 views.

But in an interview with BBC Hausa yesterday, Abdulkadir, said his performances in the competition, as the first African to reach the last 17 stage, is beginning to positively affect the perception of Nigerians amongst Indians.

“More than 8,700 people entered the competition, but presently I am one of the last 17 people that have remained in the competition.

“I am the first African to be in this competition. After every week, two people are being dropped. That is how we now become 17, out of thousands that started.

“The final, where the winner will emerge, is when people remain only five in the competition,” he said.

Abdulkadir went to India, under the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) to study Computer Application, four years ago.

“It all started with my interest in Indians, because I nurtured the passion to learn the language ever since I was 14.

“And as the passion continued, I then met one, Mr Zubairu in Abuja, where I was based, who translates Hindi language to English. That has helped me tremendously to where I am today. He was the one who helped me, indeed. I learnt a number of Hindi words from him,” he said.

FALAE AND HIS ILKS

Dear Baba Falae,

Definitely you would not remember me again. But I do remember you. I first met you in the mid-eighties when you were the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the old Nigeria Merchant Bank Limited, then on Broad Street in Lagos. That would be anything between 1985 and 1986. Then I visited you in your homes in Lagos and Akure a couple of years down the line in the company of the late Alex Adedipe, formerly the Majority Leader of the old Ondo State House of Assembly. The impression, I got in those years was that you were an upright man.

Doubt began setting in when you became President Babangida's Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). For us young fellows, we knew something was terribly wrong with IBB's regime. We knew it was monumentally corrupt and thought people like you were too refined and principled to be part of it. But there was no way to prove much as the Maradona was quite adept at his thievery and scheming. Then we heard that some of you stabbed Chief Bola Ige in the back and small tales began coming up. That was in the run up to the 1999 elections and the contraption leading to that shift to a democratic dispensation. Many gave you the benefit of the doubt but we knew you did not stand in the same roll of honour as Chief Adekunle Ajasin and Chief Fasoranti. Many of us knew that eight of ten of your so called Afenifere Group were only selling Awoism for personal gains. We knew many of you cannot lace the sage's boots.

Baba Falae, it is sad that when people like you have no moral defence for your putrid acts done in the dark, the next thing you resort to would be legalese. It is unfortunate that a man supposedly as erudite as you can say "you did not know where the money came from" as mitigation for your immorality. Your defence that you were paid for inter-party collaboration did not reflect your famed intellect, sir. Otherwise you would know that when one party pays another to collaborate with it, it amounts to corruption. When independent political parties collaborate and work together, it is based on commonality of principles and ideas, not based on payments. The Conservative Party in the UK did not pay the Liberals to form government or collaborate. They fashioned an agreement based on common areas of their manifestos and they agreed on the offices to make it work.

Baba Falae, you are corrupt. Baba Falae, your hands stinks and smells of the blood of the innocent, sir - the men who gave their lives, lost limbs and died in battle defending you and your nation. Take a look at the mirror. For a mere N100 million, you traded off your reputation. Afefe ti fe, a ti ri furo adiye (The wind has blown the cover off the fowl's anus). You took the money because it has always been in your character to do so. Pure and simple. There are people we can vouch for in Akure who would not touch a billion Naira. The highly revered retired Bishop Bolanle Gbonigi of the Akure Diocese (Anglican) is one and we know him. Thank God you did not win the presidential election in 1999, it would not have been a different story today had you won. Corruption has always been in your blood. I thought the Yoruba's say "agba ki i wa l'oja, k'ori omo tuntun wo" (an elder will not stand aloof in the market while the head of a new born slouches). O mase o! Ki'le fi ya'to si Jimoh Ibrahim (What a pity! How different are you from Jimoh Ibrahim)? Shior!

I am praying for Nigerian youths. I am talking of those aged from 18 to 40. Those born from 1975/76 to just before civil rule in 1999. I am praying anger wells up in them and makes them see. That they can see their joblessness and how it relates to Baba Falae's N100 million "inter-party collabo" payoff. The relationship between the accident that killed their mum/father/sister/brother/relations to Raymond Dokpesi N2.1 billion "media strategic consultancy" payout. That Nduka Obaigbena's N650 million "terror attack" compensation is somehow linked to why they have local vigilante guarding their streets while policemen are carrying umbrellas for the wife of the local government chairman.

Can the young Biafra agitator make a connection between Pius Anyim's Centenary City project with the erosion that has washed away his father's home in Mgbowo, Awka, Enugu-Ukwu, etc. That their pensioner father/mother/uncle/aunt who couldn't get paid after serving Nigeria for donkey years is ultimately a direct correlate of Bafawara's N500 million "spiritual consultancy" project. The innocent and not so innocent lady doing "runs" to pay for her education and also keep her family and younger ones housed and fed must link her fate to the dollar rain before March 2015 election. The young heroes who gave their lives at the front of the battle that raged endlessly for years in the northeast and Dasuki's ATM are directly linked.

That is the way unconscionable elders have traded away your potentials and raped your country.

Young man, get angry now. Young woman, time to get mad has come.[/size]

Man was told to solve this moral Dilemma in a Job Interview. His answer is genius.


Question:

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus.

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect woman (or) man you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?




Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as a part of a job application.

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.


The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. I love this. I might actually use it sometimes for an interview situation.

He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the old lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dream".

Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box"
