Now that you’re in a happy, healthy relationship, there are some Facebook rules that need following to ensure it stays that way. 10 things to never do on Facebook if you are in a relationship: 1. Hide things from your spouse or significant other. If you don’t want your partner seeing who you’re chatting with online, that’s not a good sign. Facebook should not be a secretive escape from your relationship. 2. Befriend someone of the opposite sex your partner is uncomfortable with. If your partner is uncomfortable with you “liking” photos of your ex — or chatting with your super-flirty co-worker online — respect his/her wishes. Don’t engage in behavior that will feed insecurities or threaten your partner. If you’re not currently Facebook friends with an ex, don’t add him. Especially in a long-term commitment relationship, you should each trust and respect each other enough to let each other veto online friendships with members of the opposite sex you’re not comfortable with. 3. Keep up old photos of exes. Even if you never go back and look at old photos, some of your friends might. Respect your new relationship and delete old online mementos of your past relationships. 4. Change your relationship status without talking to your partner. Relationship statuses should be discussed prior to any online changes. (Don’t abuse the status, either. Wait until it’s serious enough that most of your friends already know you’re dating someone awesome.) 5. Deny the relationship. If your Facebook page has zero evidence that you’re in a relationship — no pictures, statuses, links that hint that you’re attached — and your partner wants to be acknowledged, show him/her that you’re proud to be with him/her, and simultaneously let your flirtatious Facebook friends know that certain online behaviors are now officially off-limits, by giving an occasional nod to your significant other. 6. Add his/her friends or family as “friends” before you’ve met them. This is just creepy. 7. Complain about your partner or make a fight public. If you’re in a real relationship, have real conversations. Seek conflict resolution in person, not online — and especially not on a Facebook wall. Don’t use Facebook as a place to vent, be passive-aggressive, or to humiliate your partner. Ever. 8. Gush too much. You’re in love. That’s great. But use terms of endearment and “I have the best boyfriend in the world!” statuses in moderation. Don’t alienate your loved ones — or incite major eye-rolling — by using Facebook strictly as an excuse to brag about your recent endorphin surge. 9. Post racy pics. Don’t upload on-vacation bikini shots. Don’t share photos of your new man “just waking up.” Keep it classy. Respect your partner by not seeking attention from others with sexy poses and provocative statuses. 10. Have a shared Facebook profile. Even if you’re married, the whole “2 become 1″ thing does not apply to Facebook. An old classmate might want to say hi without wondering which of you he’s talking to. http://sapostiks./2014/07/27/10-things-to-never-do-on-facebook-if-you-are-in-a-relationship/ |

Does religion matter in terms of who you are attracted to, date, love or marry? Before I answer that question, a little background on where I’m coming from might help. In East Africa, and Ugandan to be specific. Anyone who knows anything about East Africa and the Horn — Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Rwanda and Burundi knows that these countries are a mixture of all kinds of religions. Until very recently, all religions including indigenous African religions., co-existed very peacefully — worked, loved and married with no one raising an eyebrow. In fact one got more grief marrying someone of another “tribe” than marrying someone of the same “tribe” but of a different religion. Life experiences with the ins and outs of various religions does play a big role in who people are today — and why I’m writing this article. Does religion matter in terms of who you are attracted to, date, love or marry? My personal opinion is that it doesn’t — and it shouldn’t. But there is something to say about having similar beliefs for a relationship to succeed. By beliefs here I’m not going to narrow it down just to religious beliefs alone. Religion does play a big role in some people’s life beliefs, but in terms of success of a relationship, religion doesn’t play nearly as big a role as one’s life beliefs — if you can separate the two. By life beliefs I mean the way we exist in this world — what we believe about ourselves, how we relate to other human beings, animals, the planet and all that’s within it. Our life beliefs not only influence our attitude to life — negative or positive, optimistic or pessimistic, hopeful or hopeless, joyful or miserable, passionate or indifferent, engaged or withdrawn, easy-going or stressful, interesting or boring etc — our life beliefs also influence our behavior — the way we act, respond and react. No where are our life beliefs more pronounced than the way we react in situations we don’t like, are uncomfortable, emotionally overwhelming or unexpected. You can tell a lot about someone just by how they handle these situations. More often than not, in emotionally uncomfortable or overwhelming situations, generally negative people will become even more pessimistic, cynical, confrontational, and toxic, while generally positive people become more optimistic, acquiescent and sometimes delusional and detached from reality. Passionate people become more obsessed with trying to find a “solution” even where there is no “solution”, while generally withdrawn individuals withdraw further away from the problem, rejection or threat. Generally easy-going people play down real serious issues, while generally stressful people become more pushy, demanding threatening and annoying, etc. The irony is that these behaviors have nothing to do with whether one is Christian, Jew, Muslim or Atheist. It is has to do with how one exists in this world. I’ve been around (and worked) with the most loving, peaceful, compassionate, easy-going (and sexy) Christians, Jews, Muslims and Atheists, and I have been among the most cold, hateful, cynical and spiritually sick Christians, Jews, Muslims and Atheists. It depends on the person, not their religious — on non-religious beliefs. So for all of you who have written asking me whether it’s okay to date or marry someone of a different religion, my answer is YES! Totally! The success of your partnership depends more on whether you share the same life beliefs or not — and not whether someone is a Christian, Jew, Muslim or Atheist! May love guide you to love itself! “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”~~Nelson Mandela http://sapostiks./2014/07/14/should-religion-be-a-relationship-deal-breaker/ |
World War 3! The seemingly merciless massacre in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, on Tuesday, July 08, 2014,that left many millions of Brazilians groaning in pains and anguish,and 7 confirmed death, at the end of the Battle of Belo Horizonte,might be the beginning of World War 3. This unprovoked deadly invasion of Brazil by the German army is reminiscent of German's invasion of Poland,that signal the begin of World War 2. How long will the world graple with such banal aggression of the Germans ,for its deployment of internationally sanctioned Weapons of Mass Destruction from its latest invention:MULLE R ballistic missile, KLOSE stealth bomber,KEDIRA cruise missile,SCHURRL E long-range, all- weather, subsonic Tomahawk cruise missile and KROOS B2 UAV ? NEVER,in the known history of man,were such aerial,land and sea Armada of deadly weapons be unleashed against one single nation in all of mankind existence on earth. This is unacceptable! The United Nations must react to this,in the next few hours! |
In the movie Unfaithful, Diane Lane’s character seems to have it all: a nice house, kids, and a hunky husband to boot (played by Richard Gere). Yet, following a chance encounter with an attractive younger man, she finds herself being, well, unfaithful. Why would she risk all of the nice things in her life by cheating? There are several reasons why she would take such a risk. It could be something about her (her personality or self-esteem), something about her relationship (not satisfying or unfulfilling), or something about the situation (she just had the chance). However, infidelity or cheating could also result from, at least partially, underlying biological and hormonal influences. For example, men with higher testosterone have more interest in having sex outside of their relationships, which is basically the same thing as cheating (assuming his partner does not condone it). Similarly, women with higher levels of estrogen are more likely to cheat. Even though we don’t carry around testosterone and estrogen testing kits to use on our partners (that would be cool, though, wouldn’t it?), we can determine levels of these hormones without realizing. How? By listening to our partners’ voices. Men with greater testosterone have deeper voices (e.g., Barry White, George Clooney and others), while women with more estrogen have higher voices (e.g., Mariah Carey or Katy Perry). In fact, it seems we may have some inherent knowledge of this link between infidelity and voice pitch. In one study, participants listened to audio clips of male and female voices that had been digitally altered to be higher or lower in pitch and then indicated how likely each person would be to cheat based on the voice. Participants rated men with masculine deep voices and females with feminine high voices as more likely to cheat than men with high voices, or women with deep voices. For women, their ovulatory cycle in another biological factor that may also influence her likelihood of cheating. Specifically, women are more likely to cheat when they are most likely to get pregnant (i.e., when they are ovulating). Whoa…this seems like an absolutely terrible idea, so why would this be? Evolutionarily speaking, women should desire to obtain the best genes possible (think Channing Tatum) for their offspring. But the super sexy mate may not stick around to raise the child, so she needs to have a more stable partner who will provide security (think Phil, the dad with three kids, from Modern Family)—which is why a woman may decide to cheat rather than abandoning her primary partner altogether. As a result, if a woman finds herself in a relationship with a lesser quality partner (think Napoleon Dynamite), she’ll cheat when she is most fertile so that her offspring will have the benefit of better genes. Of course, the hope here would be that old Napoleon wouldn’t figure it out. These biological influences might make it sound like a person can’t help cheating because he or she is at the mercy of their hormones. However, that is not what the research shows. If biology were destiny, then every high-testosterone male and high-estrogen female would be a serial cheater, which clearly isn’t the case. Rather, hormones may make resisting harder, but people have the ability to be self-aware and self-reflective and thus should be held accountable for their own choices. http://sapostiks./2014/06/29/the-biology-of-cheating/ |

Some of his colleagues went to buy diesel for the office generator.(Lunberg Services Ltd behind Coca Cola in Port harcourt Trans Amadi). and as they were bringing the diesel jerry cans into the office premises,Some JTF police men trailed them from the filling station t into the office premises. JTF policemen began harassing the guys who bought the diesel in Jerry cans. Donbraye Akangbou one of the high ranking employees on site came out of the office to mediate on the issue at hand. After he tried to explain to the officers for 30mins without luck... One of the police officers got impatient because he thought they were not going to grease his palms with money. He wanted to use the head of his gun to hit one of the employees, instead the gun went off and short Donbraye in the stomach at close range... All his intestines came out... They rushed him to BMH A & E, and as usual the hospital delayed to treat him because it was a gun shot wound and they needed a police report... Donbraye died an hour later. He got married in June 2013 and his wife is three months pregnant. http://sapostiks..com/2013/12/another-sad-news-hits-port-harcourt_12.html |
The worst thing INEC would do is to cancel the Anambra Gubernatorial Election. That will begin a series of electoral chaos of unimaginable propensity in Nigeira. It will lead to a situation where electoral losers in Nigeria will unite in failure and call for the cancellation of an election. We don't have good losers in Nigeria. Prof Jega should ignore them and go ahead to announce the result. Let the embittered go to Tribunal and Courts to prove his case. I am of PDP,but we can't continue this was. If Ngige won, it would be free and fair(like the charade that took him to senate), the moments he loses, it's fraud. That's bunkum. INEC should avoid political capture-where disgruntled and failed desperate politicians would want to cajole and manipulate to their advantage.

The governor’s spokesperson confirmed the death. The Speaker of the Taraba State House of Assembly, Haruna Tsokwa, is dead. Kefas Sule, the spokesperson of the acting Governor, Garba Umar, confirmed the death to PREMIUM TIMES. “He died this (Monday) morning, after just a brief illness,” he said. Mr. Sule however declined to provide further details, saying the government would await the outcome of reports from the speakers’ medical doctors before making any further pronouncement on the matter. A source in the state House of Assembly, however, informed us that those close to the late speaker suspect that Mr. Tsokwa may have been poisoned. The late speaker had been a staunch supporter of the Deputy Governor, who is also the acting governor, Garba Umar, in the ongoing battle for the political control of the state. There were reports earlier in September that Mr. Tsokwa escaped assassination after some gunmen reportedly opened fire on his convoy in the town of Bade, along the Jos-Abuja highway through Nasarawa and Kaduna states. Although the speaker escaped the attack, one of his police escorts was shot. More details later… http://sapostiks..co.uk/2013/11/breaking-taraba-speaker-confirmed-dead.html |
The first time my husband was ever away overnight, I was a basket case. I thought I heard something in the leaves outside and frantically called my landlord, who patiently came over and checked the outside of the house for me. If I had to leave home while my husband was away, when I came back I wouldn’t feel comfortable until I checked every room and even every closet to make sure no one was lurking there. Over the last thirty years, I have had to get used to him being away from home much more than either of us likes. Thankfully that’s not been as much of a problem since our last move. Other ladies have sometimes commented to me that they could never handle having a husband travel as much as mine did. Believe me, I didn’t like it! And at the beginning of my married life, I would have despaired if I had known just how much my husband would be away. It is only the grace of God that has enabled me. I would like to share some things He has taught me along the way. Acceptance I used to pray that my husband would not have to travel as much. More correctly, I used to whimper and wail and and whine and tell the Lord it wasn’t meant to be this way, that husbands and wives were meant to be together. It seemed like the more I prayed, the more my husband ended up having to travel! Of course, it isn’t wrong to pray that the Lord would change a difficult situation; but until He sees fit to do so, there has to be acceptance of the situation as allowed by Him. If He allows it, He will give grace for it. We may not like the situation, but focusing on that dislike can cause us to be stuck in discontent, resentment, even despondency. Loneliness Women marry for love, of course, but I believe the next biggest reason is companionship. Girls dream of finally being able to “be with” the man of their dreams “happily ever after.” It is a difficult adjustment to realize that the job, the children, and multitudes of tasks and commitments leave very little time to just “be with” each other. This is further compounded when a husband’s job requires him to travel. While husbands and wives do need to be sure they make time for each other, most wives also have to realize at some point that their primary emotional and companionship needs are not to be fulfilled by their husbands. God has to have first place in those areas. No human being will ever be able to meet all of those needs all of the time. God does graciously give us husbands and friends, but our main fellowship and contentment must be from Him. Once settled on that point, it is necessary for couples to keep in touch. I am thankful that my husband has been able to call me almost every night he has been away: in fact, sometimes we actually talk more when he is away than when he is home! For situations that don’t allow that, though, perhaps e-mailing or frequent notes would help. A husband’s absence is a good time to focus on others, perhaps visiting an elderly neighbor or calling a girlfriend. Keeping busy, taking up a special project, or having specific goals of things you want to accomplish while he’s away can help pass the time. Fear One of the biggest things I have wrestled with when my husband was away was fear, though I don’t check closets when I come home any more (after 30 years of marriage and three children, there is no room in any closet for anyone to lurk anyway!) And once after checking locks and closets before going to bed one night, I woke up the next morning to find I had left my keys in the doorknob! All my efforts amounted to nothing, but God protected me anyway. Originally the fears had to do with someone breaking in, but then I developed a couple of health problems which have required five emergency room visits between them; so new fears developed about the possibility of something happening to me when my husband was away. The Lord has dealt with me and helped me from His Word many, many times in regard to fear. Though He uses husbands to protect us, ultimately our protection is from Him. One moment that crystallized that truth for me occurred when I was lying in bed and realized that even if my husband was right next to me, I could fall ill or even die, and he would not be able to do anything about it. Now, that may not sound like much comfort! But it helped me realize as never before that my health and safety are of the Lord, not my husband. Incidentally, God did allow one of those emergency room visits when my husband was away. When I needed to go, I was able to call a friend who was nearby, who also graciously stayed with me til the early hours of the morning when I was released. My oldest son was old enough at the time to watch the other two; my youngest was already asleep, so he was spared being frightened by the situation. My friend’s husband offered to come and stay with the children. Another friend called while I was at the hospital, and, upon learning of the situation, offered to come over or to come and take the kids to school the next day. God took care of every detail. Children I think perhaps a mother with young children at home has the hardest time with a husband’s absence. She looks to him not only for a little relief in giving the children care and attention, but also for adult conversation. When he is away, perhaps trading off babysitting time with another friend would help, or little excursions like going to the park or even for a walk with another friend. A mother also needs to keep things consistent even when Dad is away. Standards and punishments should be the same: nothing should “slide” when Dad isn’t there. “Wait until your father gets home” doesn’t work when Dad won’t be home for three days and Junior is young enough to need immediate dealing with to reinforce the principles you want him to learn. I am about the most indecisive person I know, and so many situations come when my husband isn’t there that I have really wrestled with knowing what to do. When I can, I wait until I can talk with my husband; but God does promise wisdom when we ask Him for it, and He has given it many times. It can be easy for Mom to spend even less time with the children when Dad is away, either because there is just more to do with one less person in the house to do it, or because she is keeping extra-busy to keep her mind off his absence. Depending on the children’s ages, perhaps Mom can do some fun things with them to help them with their loneliness while Dad is away: play games, read together more, rent a special video. In our case, there is a nearby pizza restaurant that my husband doesn’t care for but my children love, so sometimes we’ll stop there for a meal when Dad’s gone. This relieves another problem: it used to be that, when my husband was gone for several days, I would be ready to get out of the house and go out somewhere when he came back. He, on the other hand, having been away and eating out for days, was ready to stay home and have a home-cooked meal. So now I try to take the children out if Dad is away for an extended time so we get that out of our system before he comes home. There are also some very simple meals that my children love that my husband isn’t crazy about that we have when he is gone. Danger zones Every individual has his or her quirks that make for adjustments in marriage. When one spouse is away, sometimes those adjustments have to be made to some degree all over again when he returns. We have to be careful not to let resentment build up against our loved one. We need to guard against stray thoughts that can lead to a root of bitterness: “He could have gotten out of that trip if he tried.” We may feel that is actually true. Or, “Why doesn’t he find a different job where he doesn’t have to travel so much?” We have to help our children with disappointments when...........

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday rejected the request by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, led by Bamanga Tukur to stop the “New” PDP led by Kawu Baraje, from operating.

Question:I read your article “How To Spot A Good Woman” but have found it hard to find or attract one. That’s not because I think that there are no good women out there, but because in my experience good women are hard to find here in Seattle. I’ve never really been good with women. I’m not terrible at it either. I can go to a club and easily get women’s phone numbers and even go out on dates with the woman and more. But at some point I lose interest because they’re just not the kind of women I’m looking for to settle down with. On the other hand, my friends and co-workers have on several occasions set me up on blind dates with women they know. Some of them I’ve been very attracted to and want to see again but they never want to see me again. What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do to correct it? Answer:First of all, I’m saddened by your experience. You sound like a good guy yourself and deserve a good woman. I think that your problem is not so much that you can’t attract a good woman, but that you are trying to “attract women”. It’s like a hunter who goes to the wildness to shoot animals. There’s plenty of them out there, so he thinks to himself, “I’ll go shoot animals, and just may be I’ll shoot the one I really want. That might be fun (for a while) but in the end he ends up shooting none or shooting the ones he can’t take home because they were just random prey. Another hunter, does the same but instead of just going to “shoot animals”, he has his mind on a particular animal he wants to take home. He studies it’s habits, and tracks it carefully for days. When he thinks he’s ready, he takes a deep breath, targets and shoots. He knows he may or may not get it in the first shot, but he is confident he has a good chance because he knows “his” unique target....... Continue reading here>> http://coolpenny./2013/09/11/941/ |
http://sapostiks..co.uk/2013/09/rivers-state-government-release.html Today, Thursday September 5, 2013, the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu redeployed the Escort Commander, in charge of the Convoy of the Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. The redeployment according to CP Mbu was because the Escort Commander had refused his directive to “furnish (the CP) with prior information of the movement of the Governor.” The Escort Commander is not in charge of the Governor’s Protocol and cannot have prior knowledge of the Governor’s movement, especially in the prevailing circumstances regarding security in the State. After redeploying the Escort Commander, CP Mbu also requested the Camp Commandant of Government House, Port Harcourt, to give him prior briefing of the Governor’s daily movement. A request which in practice would be difficult to comply with unless the Camp Commandant gets prior knowledge of the Governor’s movement. The Government of Rivers State is most uncomfortable with these developments and their implications for the security of Governor Amaechi. This is more so, as the developments are coming on the heels of the Rivers State Police Command’s declaration of Governor Amaechi’s ADC (which is receiving medical attention) as a deserter. This sudden interest of CP Mbu regarding the daily movement of Governor Amaechi cannot be borne out of love. If his intentions were noble and above board, CP Mbu has Governor Amaechi’s telephone number and could have reached him directly to make the request of prior briefing of his movements. Alternatively, he could have written officially to the Secretary to State Government to make the same request. This would be the first time, since Governor Amaechi assumed office in 2007, that a Police Commissioner would be requesting prior information of his movement. This was not the case even in the hey days of militancy in Rivers State. As far as we know this is an exception rather than the rule. The fact that CP Mbu waited for the Governor to travel out of Port Harcourt to issue the invitation to policemen attached to Government House is curious and indicative of ulterior motives. His sudden interest in the Governor’s movement is suggestive of a more sinister motive. CP Mbu has not hidden the fact that he holds Governor Amaechi in disdain and would stop at nothing to either harm him or aid those planning to harm him. After all in May 2013, he allowed ex-Militants to barricade the gate into the Government House after parading major streets of Port Harcourt. He has even acknowledged before the media that he found nothing wrong in fraternizing with militants. We suspect that the request for daily prior briefing on the Governor’s movement may be to furnish strange persons with necessary details of his movement and, thereby placing him in harms’ way. At different times, CP Mbu has compromised Governor Amaechi’s security and safety, and even personally led an attack on Government House, Port Harcourt on July 10, 2013. As Commissioner of Police, CP Mbu, refuses to brief the Governor, who is the Chief Security Officer of the state on the state of security in Rivers State. The Governor had made formal report to the Police High Command concerning his worries about the CP and nothing has come out of the complaint. We have chosen to cry out to Nigerians and the rest of the world about this threat to Governor Amaechi’s life as a last resort. We therefore wish to alert Nigerians and the rest of the world that CP Mbu should be held responsible should anything evil happen to the Governor of Rivers State Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, any principal officer or top government functionary in Rivers State. We believe that his current actions are sufficient warning to us “as a tree that cries out cannot kill anyone on its path.” Signed Ibim Semenitari Commissioner Of Information and Communications http://sapostiks..co.uk/2013/09/rivers-state-government-release.html |
If you want to get rich quick, here is the Nigerian blueprint. But please, don’t tell anyone I “wiki-leaked” this highly-classified national secret to you. With only some 50 years of independent national existence, Nigeria is a country reeking with “new money.” The overwhelming proportion of the millionaires and billionaires in the country are “nouveau-riche;” they became rich literally “overnight.” We are talking of people whose wealth does not go beyond a generation. Indeed, the fantastic wealth of Nigerian billionaires like Femi Otedola scarcely goes beyond ten/fifteen years. Not only does Nigeria’s wealthy few have a short history, they often have a short future as well. The money comes “miraculously” and goes just as “miraculously.” In my youth, S.B. Bakare was the celebrated Nigerian tycoon. Highlife stars and juju musicians eulogised him in their records. But ask a young Nigerian today who S.B. Bakare is, and I can bet my bottom dollar he has never heard of him. S.B. has fallen off the radar and so has his wealth. It is not identifiable by any major industry or enterprise. His descendants may still be in litigation over the dregs of his estate, but undoubtedly it is nothing to write home about again. Certainly, nobody is singing about S.B. Bakare today. There are now new pretenders to his throne. New dawn Time was when wealthy Nigerians built something, developed something, or made something. At that time, the rich were truly captains of industry. Alhaji Sanusi Dantata made his fortune in the era of the groundnut pyramids in the North; buying and shipping them for export. Sir Odumegwu Ojukwu had Nigeria’s largest fleet of inter-city “mammy-wagons.” He also imported “panla” (dried fish) on a large scale. Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony had a tanker fleet and a pioneering charter airline. Emmanuel Akwiwu, hauled oil-rigs and supplies for British Petroleum. Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola produced bicycle tires for the growing army of Nigerian bike-riders. But thanks to oil, much of Nigerian wealth is no longer the product of such ventures. Yes, we have billionaires like Ibrahim Dasuki and Mike Adenuga who can still be rightfully described as highly enterprising. But even more significantly, we have tycoons who came into wealth through “wuru-wuru” and “mago-mago.” These men are hardly Nigeria’s Bill Gates. On the contrary, they don’t have a clue what to do with their dubious wealth, and they are ignorant about wealth-creation. As such, they add little of value to the Nigerian project. Their praises may be sung today by their horde of parasitical hangers-on, but they will not be remembered for good when they are gone. As mysteriously as their wealth materialized, so will it vanish. These men became rich through some of the following tried and tested methods, which can be relied upon to lead to one’s inclusion in the Nigerian Book of Irrelevant Rich Men. If you want to get rich quick, here is the Nigerian blueprint. But please, don’t tell anyone I “wiki-leaked” this highly-classified national secret to you. 1. Rob a bank This strategy has gone through some transition. Bank-robbers used to be men of the underworld who held banks hostage at gunpoint and then made off with the cash. However, it was soon recognised that this approach has distinct disadvantages. You might get arrested and jailed. Even worse, you might get shot. It also became apparent that banks carry limited amounts of cash. Therefore, a successful bank robbery of this violent kind might only land you perhaps 50 million naira tops, which is not even enough to buy or build a house in Banana Island. There is a better way to rob a bank with far limited risk. Simply establish a bank. When you establish a bank, you can rob the bank every day without a gun. When people deposit money in your bank, they don’t know that they are handing over their life-savings to a thief. You then rob the bank you establish in a number of imaginative ways. For example, you can lend money to your bank and then charge it a very high interest-rate. Better still, you can borrow billions from your bank and simply forget to pay it back. Or, you can use the money deposited in your bank to buy houses and then rent them out as branches to your bank at exorbitant prices. This approach is guaranteed to make you a few billion naira until the EFCC policemen come calling. When they do, you can quickly fall sick, spend a few months in Deluxe Hospital Hotel and then relocate to your village to enjoy your wealth, never to be heard of again. 2. Join the PDP This one is a sure banker. As a member of the greatest party in the history of Africa, you will be given a credit-card to spend Nigeria’s oil wealth. If you are not getting enough attention in the party, make a lot of noise. Abuse Tinubu on the pages of the newspapers and call Buhari an . Insist that Goodluck Jonathan should not only run for re-election unopposed in 2015, there should be a constitutional amendment to make him a life-president. This is a tell-tale sign that you are hungry; and the powers-that-be will soon invite you to “come and chop.” As a distinguished member of this great party, the opportunities open for you to set yourself up for life are considerable. For example, you can start collecting billions for petroleum subsidy and simply not import any petrol whatsoever. You can get the government to change all car license-plates nationwide; and then become the sole supplier of the new license-plates. You can ask the president to make you the sole importer and distributor of diesel for the entire country. Of course, this might also entail that you become the chairman of his re-election campaign, to which you duly make a handsome contribution. Alternatively, you can ask to be chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority. Nobody will bat an eyelid when, within a matter of months, you have a fleet of cars, have two or three houses in Asokoro, and own four hotels in Dubai. You may even kick out your wife and marry a fourteen-year-old “Suzie” befitting your new status. You have arrived as one of Nigeria’s celebrated rich men. But keep your eyes on the ball. Don’t get distracted or carried away. The enemies of Mr. President must always remain your enemies. 3. Start a mega-church This one is pure genius. Peradventure you lose your job or fall on hard times. Don’t go into depression. Just start a church. Make it a purpose-built church. Think of something that men need. Tell them you have the anointing to provide it. Tell them whoever wants to be a billionaire should come to your church. Start a few of your messages with “Thus says the Lord.” Then teach your congregation the everlasting principles of sowing and reaping. Make sure they understand that if they really want God to bless them financially, they first have to give you as much money as possible. Create a special prayer group for millionaires and billionaires. That way, if they get any new government contract they will attribute it to the efficacy of your prayers and credit something big into your bank account. Tell everybody to give you their “first-fruits.” That is a code word for their entire January salaries. Then come up with imaginative offerings to collect, such as “prophet’s offering,” (you, of course, being the prophet); “Father, Son and Holy Ghost offerings;” “Jesus will do it offering.” Very soon, you will be flying your own private jet to preach your gospel in Ilesha; you will be wearing white Armani suits and jerry-curling your hair; you will be collecting gate-fees for new years’ eve services; billionaire thieves and robbers will be queuing up to see your private-secretary on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway; and you will be inviting Bill Clinton to open your multi-billion naira Tower of Babylon in Osapa-London. In short, you will be living large. For good measure, you will also be slapping demons out of poor bewitched damsels with impunity. 4. Become a mule There is high demand for this job. There are many politicians and men of timber and caliber looking for mules; men who can keep stolen money for them, or smuggle it to safe havens abroad. This is a highly lucrative job because for every ten billion naira you smuggle, you can pocket one billion. Don’t get greedy and come to the conclusion that you can make off with the entire loot. That is a sure way to have assassins on your tail. Before they kill you, they will first break your legs. If you are caught while smuggling money abroad, you can easily escape and come back home dressed as a woman. Then you can get a national merit award. If you are a mule for a president or a governor, you are set up for life. You will get 24 hours military protection so that no petty thief can come near you. You will get to travel all over the world. You will get free medical check-ups, so that you don’t just fall down one day and die. That would be disastrous, especially if your sponsor does not know exactly where you kept his loot, or if he does not have the password to the secret account you opened for it in the Bahamas in the name of Ali Baba.

If you want to get rich quick, here is the Nigerian blueprint. But please, don’t tell anyone I “wiki-leaked” this highly-classified national secret to you. With only some 50 years of independent national existence, Nigeria is a country reeking with “new money.” The overwhelming proportion of the millionaires and billionaires in the country are “nouveau-riche;” they became rich literally “overnight.” We are talking of people whose wealth does not go beyond a generation. Indeed, the fantastic wealth of Nigerian billionaires like Femi Otedola scarcely goes beyond ten/fifteen years. Not only does Nigeria’s wealthy few have a short history, they often have a short future as well. The money comes “miraculously” and goes just as “miraculously.” In my youth, S.B. Bakare was the celebrated Nigerian tycoon. Highlife stars and juju musicians eulogised him in their records. But ask a young Nigerian today who S.B. Bakare is, and I can bet my bottom dollar he has never heard of him. S.B. has fallen off the radar and so has his wealth. It is not identifiable by any major industry or enterprise. His descendants may still be in litigation over the dregs of his estate, but undoubtedly it is nothing to write home about again. Certainly, nobody is singing about S.B. Bakare today. There are now new pretenders to his throne. New dawn Time was when wealthy Nigerians built something, developed something, or made something. At that time, the rich were truly captains of industry. Alhaji Sanusi Dantata made his fortune in the era of the groundnut pyramids in the North; buying and shipping them for export. Sir Odumegwu Ojukwu had Nigeria’s largest fleet of inter-city “mammy-wagons.” He also imported “panla” (dried fish) on a large scale. Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony had a tanker fleet and a pioneering charter airline. Emmanuel Akwiwu, hauled oil-rigs and supplies for British Petroleum. Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola produced bicycle tires for the growing army of Nigerian bike-riders. But thanks to oil, much of Nigerian wealth is no longer the product of such ventures. Yes, we have billionaires like Ibrahim Dasuki and Mike Adenuga who can still be rightfully described as highly enterprising. But even more significantly, we have tycoons who came into wealth through “wuru-wuru” and “mago-mago.” These men are hardly Nigeria’s Bill Gates. On the contrary, they don’t have a clue what to do with their dubious wealth, and they are ignorant about wealth-creation. As such, they add little of value to the Nigerian project. Their praises may be sung today by their horde of parasitical hangers-on, but they will not be remembered for good when they are gone. As mysteriously as their wealth materialized, so will it vanish.
