News reaching us from a reliable and undisclosable source confirms that the President of the federal republic of Nigeria will return to the country in two (2) weeks time after his extensive stay in London on medical grounds.

The President left the affairs of the country in the reliable hands of the Vice-president Prof. Yemi Osibanjo.

As one Nigeria, we pray for the safe return of our President and Commande in Chief.

Jonbold:
Brisket is not biscuit bone, they are two different parts of the meat. What we call biscuit bone is the cartillagenous part of the meat, but brisket is a kind of fleshy part of a beef please. You guys should stop feeding us with false information because some of us don't know any better. This poster ����is wrong, they are two different parts of meat.��

Exactly my brother the poster just taught the wrong thing

Tastemoney:
I feel like Laura Ikeji

Make Linda catch you

lExamples of famous siblings and relatives are everywhere in our faces all the time. MI and Jesse Jagz, 2baba and Hi Dibia in the music industry to Ike Uche and Kalu Uche in football. Even Mikel Obi has an elder brother Ebele Obi who plays for Heartland FC Imo State and a younger brother Edgar Obi who is a rising music artist signed to Mikel's record label; MMM Records.

We could argue that when siblings or family members are in different fields and professions the jealousy is easy to deal with or doesn't exist at all. But what happens when they are both in the same field?

Even in the political scene, we have the famous Senate President Bukola Saraki and his sister Senator Gbemisola Saraki both active in politics.

Is it a case of ability or just divine favor?

Could one be working harder than the other or one is following a 'shortcut' to success?

Even if D Banj's fame seemed to have dwindled a little, he is still more popular than his brother K-Switch.
Our Nigerian god of music production Almighty Don Jazzy is revered far above his brother D-Prince, and yes I know you would say that everyone has their different calling and destiny and all that but if it is blood that flows through us all would we truly say how we feel?

The bible also records that Jesus had brothers James and Jude and we in no way worship them today as Christians worship Christ.

Even between the Hemsworth brothers Chris, Luke and Liam, Chris and Liam both look alike and have achieved quit alot in Hollywood but Chris is our god of thunder that will make anyone shiver any day, any time.


So if you are the not-so-famous sibling or relative and you are stable and mature, you would want to find out what he or she is doing to get where they are and follow suit.

If you are the not-so-stable one, you and your bad values will either quit the industry or find a meandering way to raise to the top.

For we all, we should not use siblings, relatives or anyone for that matter as a benchmark to measure success or progress.

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua MBE born 15 October 1989 is the current unified world heavyweight champion. He on Saturday night in front of 90,000 people at Wembly won Wladimir Klitschko wining him 15 million pounds.

Anthony has an 18 months old son Joseph who
was babysit-ted by his Nigerian mother Yeta Odunsanya. He quit school at age 16 and went into boxing at 18 and currently the CEO of his own company, brand ambassador for Jaguar Land Rover who last week gave him a 150,000 pound Range Rover Sv Autobiography.


Speaking with the UK Sun, Jeremiah Okorodudu a former boxing champion recalls that nine years ago, Joshua was rejected to represent Nigeria at the 2008 Olympic Games by the Nigerian boxing officials.

He said that Joshua wanted to connect with his roots and compete ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics qualifiers, but was denied the chance so he went back to England and represented Great Britain for whom he won gold in 2012.

Joshua wanted to do Nigeria a favor because of the love he has for his mother.

A Nigerian coach Adegboyega Adeniji-Adele confirmed that Joshua was at the Nigerian camp.
Obisia Nwakpa who was the chief coach of the boxing team in 2008 said
'we made the right call then, because he wasn't good enough and we picked someone who was much better'.

Sadly, none of the boxers who represented Nigeria in the 2008 Olympics has performed better than Joshua since then.

Nigeria qualified four boxers for the 2008 Olympic boxing tournament; Rasheed Lawal (lightweight), Olanrewaju Durodola (heavyweight), Onorede Ohwarieme (superweight) who all did not advance to the quarter finals and dauda Izobo (lightweight) who didn't get to the Round of 16.

This begs the question: is the Nigerian system a fair judge of character and talent?


Now Nigeria and her citizens are celebrating his victory on every media and associating themselves with him.

Truth be told, Joshua is a British citizen whose mother is Nigerian. Even the Nigerian culture identifies a child with his fathers heritage and not his or her mothers.

He is not a Nigerian! but a Briton.

We should celebrate his hard work and a job well done and not for his ties to the Nigerian environment that didn't believe in him or give him a chance to thrive.
