My Vals day hasnt been half bad considering I'm stuck here in LA when I really should be somewhere else but its been a very emotional day, a day of strong words and even stronger actions. I'm sure you are like err T its 9 am, how has your own vals day started? hahaha well my vals day started since yesterday considering im working on naija time, Got a surpring his midnight message, then a surprising my midnight message, then another, then another. hahaha all I have to say is where ever I found him, may men from that place never finish. In fact God should produce more men like him, the world would be a better place. lol. If I could do it all over again, I would not blink an eye, and to think I almost ran, hahahahahaha,

Heyyy, its vals day so I can afford to get a bit personal, you know those that know me can testify, the decision to get hitched has not been an easy one so much so my MOH asked me for the first 6 weeks if I am sure. I think she is just finally accepting that I have no problem falling in love. Well, to defend myself, its not like I wasnt interested in loving and settling down, its just that I have not been bothered because I have this outlook on life, I would rather stay single and have fun than marry a man that will give me problems, a man I am not proud to call mine, someone who I can't see as the father of my kids or a man that I am "managing".

I am a very passionate person and in order for me to turn the other eye, I just can't love you and if I can't love you why marry you. So I guess with that, I began to come across as unserious. I have had a few marriage offers, baby mama offers, hahaha even sugar mummy offers but I thank the lord that the final offer was something I felt was real, no scratch that, we felt was real, someone that understands me better than anyone else, someone that would not think twice before moving the earth for me and vice versa, someone that tells me and more importantly shows me how much he loves me every single day and most importantly someone I have peace of mind being with.

Anyways, enough of that lovey dovey stuff hahahaha, my eyes are welling up. Oh gosh!, lol, ok big baby stop it o, Yeah relationships are something else arnt they? You learn new things everyday. Its amazing how I have matured in the past few years, when I look back at myself then and now, I'm like wow!, you are a woman and I am happy about that. You begin to learn what matters and what doesnt, patience and how to love unselfishly, Its a beautiful thing

ay ay ahhh so I heard it not all hunky dory sha o, ehem, tell me something I don't know, .lol, The sucky part is when your relationship is out there, you get this whole people thinking they know more about you than you know about yourself thing, everyone seems to want to form an opinion, but at the end of the day the truth is we are human and will have our ups and downs, fights and makeups but the most important thing is how we get through it together. And oh no I don't believe any woman is going to use juju to break us up and trap my man.. hahahaa, that one always tickles me. Gosh! I have heard it all,

Roman Abramovich, the Russian billionaire and owner of Chelsea FC, today bowed out of Russian politics when he resigned as governor of the frozen far-eastern province of Chukotka.

Abramovich stepped down as the region's governor at "his own request", the Kremlin said today. Russia's new president, Dmitry Medvedev, had signed a decree relieving him of his duties, it added.

Abramovich had been in the job for seven years and his departure follows at least one unsuccessful earlier attempt to quit last year. Vladimir Putin turned down Abramovich's request and asked him to carry on. He agreed.

Today Abramovich's spokesman said that the oligarch was departing from politics because he considered his job in Chukota completed. Since becoming governor he has pumped billions into the sparsely populated Pacific region, near to Alaska.

"When Mr Abramovich came to Chukotka the region was in serious crisis. In the past seven years he's succeeded not only in pulling it out of crisis but significantly boosting the standard of living," his spokesman, John Mann, told the Guardian.

"He's rebuilt infrastructure, housing, schools and hospitals. He's bought in new investors to build the economy of the region. He's put Chukotka on a great footing for future development," said Mann.

Asked why Abramovich was quitting now, Mann said: "It's very much mission accomplished. But I think there's no overriding reason. I think it's just a change of role."

Abramovich, 41, is Russia's third richest man, according to Forbes Russia magazine, with a $24.3bn (£12bn) fortune.

He has been spending more time recently in Moscow than London, aides say, following his divorce last year.

During the Putin era, Russian oligarchs were obliged to obey the state and to show social responsibility, observers suggest. Those who challenged the Kremlin invariably ended up in exile or in prison.

By taking personal responsibility for Chukotka, one of Russia's most backward and underdeveloped regions, Abramovich showed his loyalty to Putin. He also fended off critics who accused him of unpatriotic behaviour when he bought Chelsea in 2003.

Today analysts suggested that Abramovich had been allowed to give up his government job following Putin's departure as president and the inauguration in May of Dmitry Medvedev as Russia's new leader.

"Putin didn't want him [Abramovich] to leave while power was being transferred," said Sergei Mikheyev, vice-president of Moscow's Centre for Political Technologies. "He asked him to stay on. Now the transfer has happened. The situation has changed."

"Chukotka will really miss him. It is impossible for anybody else to invest as much money into the region," said Mikheyev.

Abramovich was previously Russia's richest man. But he has recently slipped down the table following the sale of his oil firm Sibneft to Gazprom in 2005. Most of his assets are now held by Millhouse Capital, his private investment vehicle.

Last month Abramovich moored his personal $300m yacht in St Petersburg while he attended the annual economic forum in Russia's second city. The British singer Amy Winehouse also played a concert at the opening of an art gallery in Moscow to be managed by Abramovich's girlfriend Daria Zhukova.

Today Mann said that Abramovich would continue to financially support the autonomous district of Chukotka. "Millhouse is investing in several projects there as well as two charities," he said.

i missed the show too. can anyone please tell me the look on Eunice face when Isaac was declared winner? i bet she almost passed out!   i never liked her arrogant attitude for one day!

gatewayman:
Glad the best man won. Was really afraid they were going to be bias against Isaac. Evidently Isaac out performed Eunice today. BTW did any one notice that the last task was not rated? Really wondered why. I submit that Eunice had the upperhand.

Sincerely, the boardroom has been the minus of this show

When Eunice was described, in her profile, as being “endowed with natural sex-appeal and this attribute may be an advantage”, nobody thought the CEO will be her very first victim. The recent events in The Apprentice Africa house have however confirmed my fear that Mr. Shobanjo is indeed at her mercy. Perhaps, the CEO is infatuated by her diction and beauty. If not, I wonder what the insolent is still doing in the house.

There is something sinister and crafty about that lady. To say that she is neither a team player nor a good leader is an understatement. The last two episodes have clearly demonstrated that the best place for her is either the beauty contest or the Big Brother house, where game-playing is the in-thing. Imagine her “not-only-should-Nancy-not-be-an-Apprentice-she-should-be-fired-today!” effrontery to Mr. Shobanjo. What an audacity!

In Episode 11, she had no business nominating Kathleen if not to confirm her habit of bringing an ally into the boardroom and double teaming on her antagonist. Poor Nnamdi this time around.

Mr. Shobanjo should understand that with his experience and success in the business world, he is not getting it right in this Eunice game. Eunice has no quality of The Apprentice. Those who described her as mélange are perhaps not close enough to her or have not fallen victim of her manipulative prowess.

She is a big minus and a big misfit in the house and the earlier she is shown the way out, the better.
