sequel to her defect to the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, where she hopes to realise the political dream to emerge as a senator representing Anambra Central Senatoral District, there are strong indications that she is positioning herself to contest the guber pools in the state come 2014 . the obama stlyle i guess. what baffles me must is why not on the platform of the criminal empire called PDP. what do you think?

what is her chances of making it in the competitve world of nigerian politics.

Nigeria’s minister of information, Dora Akunyili, formally left the cabinet of Goodluck Jonathan today to join politics. Her valedictory statement read at the Federal Executive Council meeting today finally put to rest speculations about her political future.

See address to FEC:

VALEDICTORY ADDRESS TO THE FEDERAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL BY PROF. DORA AKUNYILI, HON. MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS, ABUJA, DECEMBER 15, 2010

Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, and esteemed colleagues with whom I have formed a family — some of you for the past two years and others for a lesser period of time. I wish to humbly inform Council that I am resigning from the Cabinet with effect from tomorrow, 16th December, 2010.

Today is therefore a very emotional day for me in Council. This is because I have been so closely bonded to most of you that my departure is like leaving a family. My heart is so heavy because in this Council, I have found comfort and friendship.

However, having reflected over the years about events in Nigeria and in particular my state, Anambra, I have come to the conclusion that it is indeed a defining moment in my life when I should make the sacrifice of leaving a comfortable place to go to a difficult terrain in order to build a better place for our children. I have, therefore, decided to join my Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, who is doing a great job in continuing to build Anambra State as an APGA Senator. In this regard, I intend to pick the nomination form today to run for the office of Senator Representing Anambra Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly.

As I take this step, I solicit for your prayers and other forms of support. I am making this request because you are my people and my immediate constituency. Yes, my colleagues in the pharmaceutical industry are still my people but I have virtually exhausted my goodwill with them in the service of our dear Country, especially in support of the Re-branding Nigeria project. Many drug manufacturing companies spent over N10 million for the Re-branding Nigeria materials because they desperately wanted me to succeed. Therefore, it is you and only you that I can now run to for support. Please, I plead with each and everyone of you to sow a seed to my political career, you will never regret it. In the words of President Jonathan, I will never let you down. Yes, I will be in the senate by the grace of God for my constituency and for the nation but you can be sure that I will also be there for you.

Mr. President, I am deeply grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to serve our dear Country as Minister of Information and Communications. I am equally grateful for the co-operation which you, the VP and my Cabinet colleagues extended to me in the course of my duties, without which I would not have succeeded. Mr. President, I will never forget the encouragement you gave me through phone calls, text messages, e.t.c. when I was in NAFDAC during that fight for life. Mr. Vice President, you always call me your sister, please continue to call me your sister.

I wish Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, and other Council members who may wish to contest in the 2011 elections success in this regard. I pray that this Council succeeds to the end and that many of you continue as Council members after May 2011.

I leave you with love and fond memories. Thank you and God bless you all.

PROF. DORA NKEM AKUNYILI, OFR
HON. MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS, ABUJA, DECEMBER 15, 2010

Studio CFR:
Where is the joke?

here i guess

El Guapo:
Dear Child,



I won't be able to send you the address, as the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they left so that they wouldn't have to change their address.

It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure if it works too well though.Last week I put a load in, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since.

The weather isn't too bad here., it only rained twice last week, The first time it rained for three days and the second time for four days. The coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Steve said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. We got another bill from the funeral home.

John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were worried because it took him two hours to get me and Shelby out. so dumb

Your sister had a baby this morning but I haven't found out what it is yet, so I don't know if you're an aunt or an uncle. If the baby is a girl, your sister is going to name it after me, she's going to call it Mom.



PS, I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed.

;d

i dey laugh o

People say you don't know what you've got till its gone. The truth is you knew what you had; you just thought you'd never lose it.


They should really replace "I now pronounce you man and wife" with "FINISH HIM!!!


You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.


When climbing the ladder of success, don't let boys look up your skirt!

For those who like me, raise your hands. For those who dont, raise your standards.

i guess you have to yield to the above

For those who like me, raise your hands. For those who dont, raise your standards.

I would never give you a death sentence. It would be more like a paragraph.

I hate people that chew gum like not-so-smart cows.

When a girl says "whatever" she really means: "I hope you get shot & fall off a bridge." or F>U>C>K you

All the single ladies, put ya hand up! LOL JK you're single for a reason so put yo hand back down.

Damn shame some of ya'll will get on facebook to say Good morning before you even brushed your teeth.

I want to have 3 kids and name them Ctrl, Alt and Delete. Then if they Bleep up I will just hit them all at once.

Be like a moon, so simple yet so attractive, so enlightening yet so cool, moving yet still, so romantic yet single.

Getting back with your ex is pretty much the same as taking a shower and putting back on your dirty underwear.

People ask me why it's so hard to trust people, I ask them why its so hard to keep a promise?

hey guys, its been a while. hope you all having a wonderful time. here we go again,

Wanna cry? DO IT. Wanna scream? DO IT. Wanna fight? DO IT. Wanna slap? DO IT. Lifes too short to be afraid.

If you insist on telling me about your weekend, I suggest you do it in the bathroom, as it's the only place I'll give a shit.

Do blind people believe in love at first hear?

Best way to hang up on someone is to do it in the middle of YOUR OWN sentence. that way, they never suspect you hung up on them.

To make small talk interesting, stare inquisitively at one spot on the person's face until they self-consciously touch it.

A friend told me I take facebook way too seriously. Don't worry, I deleted her

People with dreadlocks either love weed or hate showers.

Some people should come with subtitles.
