Politics / Nigerian Women To Expect In Tuesday's Ministerial List by osaseyeishere(m): 5:12pm On Oct 05, 2015
The Constitution does not require that Nigeria's Minsters be exclusively men or women. However in the ministerial list submitted to the Senate president, Bukola Saraki on Thursday, only 3 Nigerian women were nominated as ministers according to multiple reports.

During his campaign, Buhari promised to implement the National Gender Policy, which allocates 35 percent of appointive positions for women.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan brought about an increase in women’s political participation from 10% in 2011 to over 33% in 2013, with the appointment of 13 female Ministers out of 42, and four Special Advisers out of 18.

While we await the names of the outstanding nominees, here are the women to expect in Tuesday's Ministerial List
1. Amina Mohammed
2. Kemi Adeosun
3. Aisha Alhassan

Politics / ''don't Be Fooled: Nigeria's Fuel Crisis Is Just Beginning'' Says Blogger by osaseyeishere(m): 1:52pm On May 24, 2015
[img]http://2.bp..com/-xHiWrTwK0kE/VWHDRUu_PeI/AAAAAAAAZDw/VSiiG-98AZ8/s640/4f43288e_r38wdcbshnca.jpg[/img]
Many petrol stations in Nigeria have now run out of fuel both for vehicles and generators.

Nigeria’s biggest mobile phone operator MTN has warned that its network faces shutdown due to fuel shortages that have crippled the nation."If diesel supplies are not received within the next 24 hours the network will be seriously degraded and customers will feel the impact," it added on its Twitter account @MTNNG on Saturday evening.

The warning from MTN, which has more than 55-million subscribers, is a sign that businesses were now being hit.

At least three Nigerian radio stations announced on Twitter they would be going off the air to ration fuel that powers its generators.

Domestic and International flights have been cancelled while few international airlines have re-routed services into and out of Nigeria to pick up aviation fuel.


In five days (Friday May 29 to be precise) President Jonathan will hand over national power to President-elect Muhammadu Buhari,. Never in the history of our country has any government handed over to another a more distressed country: No electricity, no fuel, workers are on strike, billions are owed to state and federal workers, 60 billion dollars are owed in national debt and the economy is virtually grounded.

''Today, Nigerians are roaming the streets, jerry cans in hand, searching for everything from kerosene to fuel to diesel to power their homes, keep their vehicles on the road and keep their businesses going. They are paying as much as 300 Naira per litre for fuel, if at all they can get it. Yet their government is not saying a word about the situation.”

Politics / Blogger Calls Nigeria Presidential Election For Buhari by osaseyeishere(m): 3:02pm On Mar 31, 2015

By early afternoon on Tuesday March 31, 2015 in Nigeria, about 21 million votes had been counted and collated by the INEC. The results from 33 of Nigeria's 36 states has the 72-year-old Muhammadu Buhari more than 14 million votes and Incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, at 11 million votes.

Buhari won 49% of about 21 million votes cast compared to Jonathan's 47% of the vote. Two of the country’s 36 voting blocks had yet to announce their results, which are expected later in the day. The results from both states are not expected to offset the over 2million vote deficit. Luck seems to be running out from Goodluck.

General consensus and political analyst are now calling the election for Buhari. This has prompted the News Declaration that Buhari is the winner of 2015 Nigeria Presidential Election. Blogger joins many Nigerians in calling the election for Buhari

The win will would mark the first time in 16-years that the People’s Democratic Party lost a presidential election. Also a Buhari and APC victory would mark the beginning and the emergence of a genuine, competitive two-party system in Nigeria democracy.

Politics / Blogger Calls President Goodluck Jonathan A Specialist In Failure by osaseyeishere(m): 12:56pm On Jan 10, 2015
Osaseye sparks new war of words for the upcoming presidential election and says President Goodluck Jonathan is a specialist in failure. This famous quotes originated from Chelsea's Portuguese boss Jose Mourinho who says the Arsenal manager is a 'specialist in failure.' The Chelsea boss also added that he would 'not come back to London' if he had gone eight years without a trophy.

Recently on New Year's eve, Catholic priest, Father Ejike Mbaka, delivered a sermon, which was very critical of the Goodluck Jona­than's administration. The priest asked the Nigerian president to step out of the general elections coming up next month, as he would not get a second term in office.

After six years as President of Nigeria, there are millions of calls that President Goodluck Jonathan has failed. In Nigerians own words, he is a specialist in failure like Arsene Wenger. He has failed in delivery stable power supply following multi-million electricity privatization; water supply is non-existent, dead and clogged water pipers; unemployment at record high; fuel scarcity at its peak, currency devaluation and inflation, massive failure in education as reported by the failed WAEC trends, Corruption at its best and the big one everyone is talking about SAFETY. No one is safe in Nigeria. Boko Haram is pretty much ruling Nigeria toe-to-toe.

It is "unlikely" that Pope Benedict and Pope Francisco will see the World Cup final together. The Vatican confirms they almost certainly will not. But the current FIFA World Cup debate is who will God favor with Argentina and Germany advancing to the World Cup finals? The two living popes, Francis and ex-Pope Benedict XVI will be praying to God for their respective countries to win the finals.

Everyone knows about Francis's love for the sport — he's a huge supporter of Argentina's San Lorenzo team — and Benedict's support the current Bundesliga champion: Bayern Munich.

The two living popes will be watching the match even though it is past their bedtime. Pope Francis promised to remain neutral for the duration of the World Cup. He has kept his own bargain thus far. But the Argentinian want their Jesuit to use his Merci (Messi) connections with God to sway the World Cup in favor of his team.


Pope Francis said in an interview that "The Brazilians asked for neutrality" in his prayers for the games. Francis added, "I'll keep my word because Brazil and Argentina are always opponents."

Before the start of the tournament, Francis delivered a message hoping that the games would promote peace and friendship among different countries. Who will God Favor in Argentina vs Germany on Sunday at the Maracana. God will be watching the match. Men will be watching. Women will take time out the kitchen to watch and so are the children. It is a weekend of closing ceremonies and the debate and answer will be after full time regulations or extra time or penalties in any case.

It ended before it could start. Is this the world’s shortest wedding as a Saudi man divorced his wife after he was shown explicit pictures of his bride by her former lover.

The newlyweds were celebrating their marriage at a hotel when the groom received a bouquet of flowers with a memory stick containing the offending photos.

The man was so shocked he ended their less than a day marriage on the spot.

Al Shammari said the bride had been contacted days before her wedding by her former flame, who threatened to tell her fiancé of their relationship if she did not go out with him.

When the woman refused, the jilted lover found the address of the wedding venue and hatched his diabolic plan.

“The groom came to see me the next day and he was under strong emotional trauma,” Al Shammari said. “It was truly the shock of his life and he could not bear the scandal.”

Sports / John Obi Mikel: Rubbed, Snubbed Or Not Good Enough To Win African Player Award by osaseyeishere(m): 1:53pm On Jan 10, 2014
Nigerians and the Football Federation are "a little bit sad" to see Chelsea's John Obi Mikel miss out on chance to win the 2013 Confederation of African Football (Caf) Footballer of the Year award.
[img]http://3.bp..com/-L1YcdxV3Z9U/Us_r7UZFdMI/AAAAAAAAREg/c5oBpUNcpUU/s1600/13235b37991n.jpg[/img]
Instead it was a third straight win for Manchester City and Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure.

"What I am doing now, I am doing very well and I am very happy about that. "It was quite tight - because there were good opponents in front of me. Obi Mikel was doing well - and Drogba as well, so I was thinking maybe I would lose it. I am lucky today, I am very proud of myself" Toure said after receiving his award.

Top Nigerian officials and Nigerians criticised the procedure used to determine the African Player of the Year after John Obi Mikel lost to Ivorian star Yaya Toure. Osaseye asked Was John Obi Mikel snubbed, rubbed or not good enough?

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Aminu Maigari expressed his frustration at the snub. He said
“I am disappointed that Mikel did not get this award. We have to review the procedure that is used to determine the winner of this award,”

NFF technical committee chairman Chris Green added: “We would need some explanations as regards how the voting is done, as other awards allow for votes from the media as well as the fans,” said a disappointed Green.

Politics / Femi Kayode Calls Stella, President Jonathan & Nigerian Govt An Utter Disgrace by osaseyeishere(m): 2:47pm On Jan 08, 2014
After the minister of aviation recent MBA gaffe, Femi Fani Kayode, the former minister of aviation calls Stella Oduah, President Goodluck Jonathan and the Nigerian government an utter disgrace.


"Honestly, this woman, this government, this President and all those that support them are an utter disgrace to Nigeria and to Africa. Even with all this I assure you that our President will not be able to muster the courage and decency to be firm and decisive and to fire this vampire Minister. And we all know why though we dare not say it.

We are a nation that is being governed by a bunch of scammers, cheats, liars, rogues, 419ner’s, adulterers and ritualists. May God rid us of this evil and shameless government with it’s inner circle and tiny cabal of desperate, heartless and greedy Jezebels."

Nigerians regard Femi Fani Kayode is one to reckon with. The fact that a sitting minister will forge documents to the senate to gain office is worrying for us all. This in addition to the armored car scandal should be enough not only to impeach but probe Stella Oduah. But as always, nothing has been done. I don't think neither do i believe his statement are offensive.

Personally, I think it is about time Stella Oduah and some of the current government be rid off. Nigeria cannot afford to have these scumbags and greedy squirrels to run the affairs of our state.

On this note, I stand with you Femi Fani Kayode.

''I wonder if our Igbo brothers and sisters will allege that all those that condemn Stella Oduah’s shameless lies and false declarations, under oath, before the Nigerian Senate that she acquired a masters degree from some second rate American university are nothing but “igbo haters” who have a hidden agenda?"

"Honestly, this woman, this government, this President and all those that support them are an utter disgrace to Nigeria and to Africa.

I came across Forbes Thought Of The Day by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and it reads “ If you would stand well with a great mind, leave him with a favorable impression of yourself; if with a little mind, leave him with a favorable opinion of himself. ”

If the statement is right, then it is foreseable following the crisis at PDP, the massive exodus to APC, the rise of APC movement and the face-off between friends (Obasanjo vs Jonathan). Will Chief Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo defect to PDP? A party he stood for if not one of the pioneers, malneuvered, and as latest report suggest ' he's neglecting calls from PDP Chieftains'

A Christian woman was recently held by Muslim terrorists in Nigeria and ordered to convert to Islam or die. The 19-year-old Hajja told Reuters she was held by Boko Haram and told to renounce Christianity or perish. Members of Boko Haram threatened to slit her throat if she did not give up her faith in Christ.

She described the moment a knife was held to her throat, and her life threatened.

“They told me I must become a Muslim, but I refused again and again,” Hajja said. “They were about to slaughter me, and one of them begged me not to resist and just before I had my throat slit, I relented. They put a veil on me and made me read from the Koran.”

Heartening! Unsafe. So bitter. Living in fear.

TV/Movies / Lekki Wives: Most Popular Talked About Show In Nigeria by osaseyeishere(m): 2:16pm On Dec 06, 2013
Screenwriter and director of the series "Lekki Wives" Blessing Effiom Egbe shares spotlight into the most talked about show in Nigeria: adultery, betrayal and money flowing stream.This comedy drama takes place in one of the new chic suburbs of Lagos, is not only the brainchild of producers. She lifts the veil on the lives of the new rich in very select suburb of Lekki, secure area of ​​large villas, where the writer and director Blessing Effiom Egbe lived for eight years.

Lekki Wives (Women Lekki), whose name is borrowed from Desperate Housewives, describes the obsession with social mobility in a country where the wealth from oil is far from having improved the lives of its 170 million inhabitants.

The series, which is perhaps what fascinates viewers watch "all the evil that people are willing to do for money," says Blessing Egbe.

"We pushed the envelope a bit. Were not trying to be nice," she told AFP.

Intrigues Lekki Wives are "99%" inspired by true stories of people looking to join the elite, explains Egbe. The characters talk about their desires and emotional monologues in front of the camera.

Must pass a security gate to enter the residential complex Lekki, a district in full swing and the most coveted of Lagos.

Banks, hotels, shopping malls, huge churches along the road paved carefully. The buildings are new or under construction.

The houses resemble the American suburbs. Rents are astronomical: U.S. $ 24,000 per year for a studio (18,000 euros), it is often necessary to pay at once.

Mother of 3 children, Blessing Egbe, 37, knows the area when she moved there 8 years. These are people "who are desperate to be seen and go to wealthy," she said.

But it is sometimes a sham.

"You see a beautiful house, but inside, the rooms are empty or without electricity. Either the room is elegant and the rest of the house, there is nothing," she says.

"An address to Lekki is perhaps not quite a visa for America," but it is a lot of acceptable consolation jokes blogger Chigo Compere. A known history in Lagos reports the case of a man who can not afford housing in this affluent suburb, sleeping in his Range Rover parked in the streets of Lekki, the changing place every day to avoid being spotted by people.

The series is innovative because designers of films and television programs in Nigeria tend to avoid the realities of society, says the actress Kiki series Omeilli 29 years.

"Everyone knows what happens, but nobody wants this screen," says one who embodies Lovette, which maintains a set of expensive life with her lovers and extramarital affairs.

A scenario that crosses the boundaries of acceptable

The series is so popular that the actress is approached by fans on the streets like never before. "People recognize me because of my previous films, but never like this."

“The Corruption Perceptions Index 2013 demonstrates that all countries still face the threat of corruption at all levels of government, from the issuing of local permits to the enforcement of laws and regulations,” said Huguette Labelle, Chair of Transparency International.
“The top performers clearly reveal how transparency supports accountability and can stop corruption,” said Labelle. “Still, the better performers face issues like state capture, campaign finance and the oversight of big public contracts which remain major corruption risks.”

With a score of 63 points, Botswana, the southern African nation, is rated the cleanest African country.It is the 30th in the world. Ghana is the star of West Africa, garnering 46 points to emerge 63rd in the world.
