Politics / If Former President Goodluck Jonathan Had Won The 2015 Presidential Election by Orikinla(m): 9:26pm On Nov 04, 2016
If former President Goodluck Jonathan had won the 2015 presidential election for a second term, the misappropriations of revenue allocations would have continued.
The ignorant masses would not have known how his ruling party, People's Democratic Party (PDP), popularly known as "Papa Deceive Pikin" was looting the national treasury.
The briefcase fuel subsidy merchants would still be collecting billions of dollars to import fuel that they would not supply or half supplied in round tripping in the Niger Delta and Togo Triangle.

There would not have been any probe and prosecution of corrupt politicians and top ranking military officers and none of them would have returned his loot.

Former President Jonathan would still be bragging about the new federal roads and railways he has built and former Vice President of Nigeria, Dr. Alex Ekwueme would not have exposed his lies in the south east.

Governor Fayose and Senator Obanikoro would have been smiling to Zenith Bank to withdraw their billions of naira.
Former National Security Adviser, Dasuki, the ATM machine of former President Jonathan would still be dispensing billions of dollars of misappropriated revenue allocations for national security.

Boko Haram would have captured and occupied the entire north east as their caliphate or Islamic Republic of Northern Nigeria.

The Niger Delta militants would have continued sharing billions of dollars from the Federal Government and buying more weapons instead of surrendering them in the camouflage of Amnesty and still engaged in illegal export of stolen crude and operating illegal refineries.

And it would still be business as usual in Nigeria and life goes on.

If I talk it could be the end of a 4yrs old relationship!!!

The earlier you tell the truth and set yourself free the better..

Lovers who cheat can also kill to hide the truth.

Music/Radio / Re: Benjamin ‘Kokoro’ Aderounmu: The Real Life 'Drummer Boy' (pic + Sound) by Orikinla(m): 7:59pm On Nov 03, 2016
GurlFriend:
If you have read 'Drummer Boy' by Cyprian Ekwensi, you may not know that the writer based the character of Akin, the blind drummer on a real life blind drummer named 'Kokoro'.

Benjamin ‘Kokoro’ Aderounmu was a widely known blind minstrel from Lagos, Nigeria. He was born into a polygamous royal family in Owo, Ondo State, and became blind when he was aged ten. A jealous step mother was said to have been responsible for his condition.

While his blindness halted his formal education, he refused to be beaten by life’s adversity and he developed his unique art of singing to the accompaniment of tambourine to support himself.

He developed a unique style of singing accompanied first by a drum, later by a tambourine. He moved to Lagos in 1947, where he became exposed to major local musicians such as Ayinde Bakare, Bobby Benson and Victor Olaiya.

In the 1960s and 1970s he featured regularly on Federal and local radio stations, and was widely respected for the depth and wisdom of his lyrics. An early pioneer of Jùjú music, he sang in Yoruba about love, money, conflicts and urban decadence. He had wide influence on other musicians.

Cyprian Ekwensi wrote a fictionalized version of his life in his novel for adolescents, The Drummer Boy.

He performed in many cities in Nigeria and overseas, but was exploited by people who took advantage of his blindness. Often he was homeless, playing on the streets to make ends meet. Kokoro performed for close to 60 years but never released an album in his lifetime. An early attempt reportedly failed due to the foot-dragging of the record companies.

Benjamin Aderounmu, better known as ‘Kokoro’, the unmistakable and widely- known tambourine-playing minstrel, died in a Lagos hospital on Sunday, January 25, 2009 a month to his 84th birthday.

It is said that adversity will either make a man, or break him, depending on how he responds to it. Kokoro’s life is clear proof that disability is not synonymous with inability.While he was never rich in monetary and material terms, Pa Benjamin Aderounmu triumphed over life’s challenges, as evidenced by the celebration of his life, even in death, by many from various walks of life.

Not many of his performances were ever recorded, but one has managed to survive. This performance titled 'Ominira' was recorded at the NBC Lagos for the Nigeria Independence celebrations in 1960.

OP, thank you.

We grew up on Lagos Island seeing him perform on the streets. He was a towering man with a throaty voice.
He would have been great and wealthy if he had God fearing managers. And his fellow musicians who were more fortunate failed to support him.

Celebrities / Re: Pageant Association Reacts On The Purported Arrest Of Miss Anambra Blackmailers by Orikinla(m): 2:24pm On Nov 03, 2016
Afro3:
Following the release of certain information on facebook page of one Mr Martin Beck Nworah relating the arrest of seven man gang who purportedly behind the release of obnoxious SEX video and lesbian gymnastic of One Chidinma Okeke, said be Miss Anambra and her cohort. We hereby make our position on the allege arrest, and also seek to know if we are actually looking for her to arrest ? SEE The STORY https://www.nairaland.com/3443205/police-arrest-guys-leaked-chidinma/1

The Position of Association Of Beauty Pageant And Fashion Exbition Organisation of Nigeria " ABPFEON" for inquiry and investigation:

• how was the arrest effected, the location and the police division station that carried out the arrest were not mentioned in the write up.

• seven man gang was stated in the release of arrest, but only two helpless boys were shown.‎ Not even a police officer pictured.

• ‎No video evidence of confessional statement from the alleged culprits owing up to the crime.

• the funny phone chat munched by the side of the picture, did not explain anything, neither is that enough evidence.

• If Nigeria Police were really interested in this case, the actual culprit who is Chidinma Okeke Should be looked for. There is no ignorance in law. Besides it is a federal case which attracts 14years in imprisonment.

• we believe if there ‎is a petition against Chidinma Okeke on this banned federal offence of Lesbianism on the table of Nigeria police, they would have commenced hunting for her arrest. Getting Chidinma is far easier than getting her blackmailers.

• The statement from the facebook account did not mention how the boys confessed and how the video was shot. Or If You expose a suspect, you should be arrested??

• In one of her releases or purported statements behind camera, it sighted that the Blackmailers had been extorting money from her, that means she Is either known to them or she knows who has been sending money to

• ‎A scandal or story that has gained world attention like this, and topping Nigeria google presence as at 3 days ago even more than Nigeria's economic recession, should not be politicised.

•‎ To save us this headache, Chidinma Okeke can come out and identify the boys and also explain to us the chain connection, and names mentioned including government personalities in stories attributed to her.

‎• Finally, what is the moral justification for us to believe Mr Martin Beck Nworah, Well, the association reacted because beauty pageant was mentioned or involved. Though, they allegedly s‎aid she did it before she won the contest. Note Importantly, Nigeria does not recognise pageant crown or any impunity attached to it. if you are culpable...If our eyes were clear enough watching the video, I guess we saw videos not pictures or photoshopped images

◄ Psalm 30 ►
King James Bible
Mourning Turned into Dancing
1{A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.} I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
Amen.
