Miss Universe for 5 Minutes!

You know I kept wondering what kind of feeling Miss Colombia would be going through at the moment! First runner-up mistakenly comes up as the winner! What an error on Steve Harvey's professional career as a compere.

The lady was so flustered that one could almost see through her skin. Sometimes, these kind of errors are unpardonable 

Glad anyway that the appropriate winner was crowned. It is quite glaring that Miss Philippines should truly be crowned as she seem to have a flawless appearance and calm expression.

Well, Miss Colombia can bask in the euphoria of her 5 minutes universal glory!

Have a fab day peeps!

(Not real scene)

Alas! Another bomb blast has just been recorded in Abuja, the central capital of Nigeria. The blast was reported to have taken place at the Banex Plaza, where trading activities take place daily.

No one has claimed responsibility for the blast yet...However, all arrows seem to be pointing in a singular direction.

May God grant eternal rest to the deposed.

More details later.

Ridiculing the Future Leaders of Tomorrow!

Children are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow...But when this happens, what do you do to such parents?

Anger is built within me when I see things such as this. How much will these children bring home from what they are made to hawk?!  The other day, a child was kidnapped and killed.

We need to stand up against such abuse as this. No one has a right to treat these little ones as thus.

No matter the level of poverty, it should not degenerate to ridiculing the leaders of tomorrow.

Parents, beware.

Plane Crash in Lagos...Yet another one too soon!

It is quite sad when things such as this occur. You wonder that couldn't this have been prevented? Nigeria is getting popular for distasteful happenings. The Boko Haram killings has almost become a norm in the dailies and news.. Now its another sad event of a plane crash!

Gone are the days when plane crashes are attributed to bad weather and terrorists' activities. It is sad that presently in Nigeria, it is more of human error and negligence on the part of the authorities and airliners. I mentioned it the other day when a little boy became a 'celeb' for being a Stowaway on an airline...and our political 'Agbayas' could come to the press and say all sorts... Now another tragedy. Why won't we allow the dead sleep in peace?

I feel sorry for the total Nigeria populace flying the local planes. You just can't tell what fate follows the next flight you want to board. I can imagine some airline engineers who chuckled over a weak aircraft engine and puts on their wishful cap that the plane makes it for the thousandth trip!

I sincerely condole with the bereaved and pray that God should grant them the fortitude to bear the loss of their loved ones.

Well, for me, I sincerely pray for a safe landing in Nigeria soon!

Till then, great time ahead folks!

Absurdity birthing Sham Heroism!

How funny life can be. It is surprising that I am also writing about this dude. Daniel Oikhena is the boy that stowaway on an Arik airline...Alas! Meet the new teenage hero. A Nigeria version of a role model for his peer!

Sometimes, I just feel this country is a joke! A big joke with several jokers who play with the indigenes' destiny. The leaders in the country seems to be clueless at various happenings in the country. 

We hear of news such as amnesty for tyrants and militants; round table dialogue and goodies for terrorists; 53 gold-plated iPhone for Nigeria's 53rd anniversary...and making a hero out of a stowaway Dan! 

Did anyone ever imagined what would have been the fate of the passengers of that airline if the boy was mangled and thereby jammed the landing gears? Would this still be a celebrated event? I am totally at a loss at the country's sense of correctness and standard of behaviour. There was at no point this lad got reprimanded or subjected to chastisement for his action.

Well, if your child is a Michael Scofield's fan, you better be on the look out. He might just be to stowaway on the next flight heading to Afghan or Syria. Personally, I think if anything is being done to help this lad, it should be off the media and not make his actions a heroic one. I don't want to sound like a prophet of doom but mark my words, we will have a replay of this occurrence within the next 30 days.

Believe it or not, I am out of here for now... Great day folks

Riding with the Landing Gears!

Wonders never cease to end in this part of the world. I cannot get over the shock till this moment. This young man has broken a record...he rode in the tyre compartment of an aircraft! Gosh!

I remember the discomfort I feel with the airtight cabin whenever I am air bound. How could he have survived if not for divine grace! I wonder what was going through his mind when he embarked on the journey. When interviewed, he mentioned he thought the aircraft was heading to America!

Who is to blame? His parents? The Airline? Airport Authorities? Government? Society? Friends? Devil? Himself? The list is endless. He claimed that he was being maltreated by his parents and he wanted to escape.

I feel sorry for the young lad but I believe he needs to be put under strict monitoring in a Boys' Remand Home. The parents too should be fined for negligence and the airline...Well, I am not sure I can comfortably ride with that airline again. It simply means that their check is not 100% error proof. The Landing gear could as well get jammed if the 'future occupants' are not well positioned.

On a lighter note, I guess the boy offered to pay half the fare so that was the  only available space for the fees paid.

It's a Monday and there is work to be done so...

Have a great day folks!

'Ageless' Grads in Government Offices

Hmmmm... Wonders never cease to end in this part of the country! After a very tiring day yesterday and getting home to the 10:00pm news, I was shocked at the revelation. Alas! I present to you, the most ingenious graduates of all times! Ondo State local government workers! Some of these staff were weeded out of the ministry based on their age declaration.

The ministry discovered that the age that a number of these staff claimed shows that some of them were age 2 when they left primary school. It is grossly ludicrous that some of the claims show that a number of these workers graduated from primary school even before they were born!!!! That is what I call "Ageless Graduates"

Imagine your unborn child coming out with a certificate of learning. And one will want to ask that were these people not interviewed before they were recruited? Or were there no documentations made or background checks on the documents submitted? Well, I like the cliche that interprets that one is only running against time when you falsify information; the truth will always come to the fore.

Beautifully, these pack have been exited from the ministry and local government. I really wish other government offices will do this and rid us of 'mountebanks' fattening up on tax payers' money.


Ok guys, off to my desk. Got work to do!

Great day folks!

Spiritual or Physical Guards for MOGs!

Providing Spiritual & Physical Guards

Hello Peeps once again! Well, I always love to share some things I see on the streets and amazes me.

I was in my humble car driving to church on a Sunday in my quiet neighbourhood. I was suddenly waved aside to give way to a military truck filled with Soldiers coming ahead. I had to quickly stir off their track to allow for them to pass. 

An average young man in my country here would have done likewise because I thought there was a lead on some of the terrorist insurgent or a security red alert... But Lagos is relatively peaceful and not on the threat list??? What could be happening? Could there be a national security alert or a top military official approaching my avenue? 

I was bemused when I saw the occupant of the exotic 2012 4matic SUV that tailed the military truck. Tada!!! A Man of God!(MOG). My respect for the national security turned to shock for MOGs. 

I have seen presidents and prime ministers walk alone with little or no security personnel in their country. Are they not under threat too? I tried to make a reasonable excuse for the MOG but seriously, I could not find any! Could it be a threat from some members? Or from some other MOG? Possibly, there was a security lead. The SUV was chauffeured by another soldier. All of them STERN LOOKING! Wow! 

I simply sighed and faced my driving after the brief moment of revelation...this time, physical and not spiritual. 

Now friends, don't be shocked the next time you find jet fighters and armoured carriers as escort to your MOG and all clad in bulletproofs.

....oooops!!! My boss just walked in... 

Have a great day folks!

Police or Thief...

Hmmmmm...Wonders they say will never end. We were told as children that the police is your friend. So we engage in the popular chase game called "Police and Thief". The police was the good guy while the thief remains the bad one. Reverse is the case in this part of the world.

The police in Nigeria are full of vices...Bribery, Corruption, Extortion, Wrong arrest, Particulars, Lying under oats and you name it! They got it all. I remembered losing my ID to crooks. I was asked to visit a police station to get a statement of police report. I was offered the report at a discount outside the police station but as a law abiding one, I walked into the station. I got a shocker of my life when I was billed double of the offer outside! Gosh!

Police is your friend...Can someone tell these clowns to please change that line...You dare not report a robbery incident at some police station! You will be locked up as first hand suspect.

Well, this guy was caught in the act...or more so

2014 Lexus IS. Future Car Now!

Lexus has blown the minds of Auto freaks once again with its most recent launch of exotic cars... Lexus IS 2014 series. Wow! The entire machine has been redesigned and given extra features such as extra wheelbase which gives it a muscular and menacing appearance.

The interior of the Lexus IS 2014 is exquisitely designed for extreme comfort. The performance is superb and highly rated above the 2013 Lexus IS with its' 8 speed auto transmission! Wow! Really, no hard shoulders...!

You will be amazed to know that this whole lot with all of its' feature is about $40k! That's one super ride you'd love to have in your fleet.

Don't be surprised if you see me cruising in some days' time with my new machine...Really, I need to review this ride in Africa if Lexus is reading!!!


Nice day ahead folks

Herald the Arrival of The Royal Baby

Babies are gifts from God to mankind. It is nice to know that some babies are born and their destinies are set even before their birth! I was surprised at the amazing welcome of the royal baby! Such display of love and emotions.

Kate and William are just two blessed individuals from the royal family. They have displayed such superb level of humility and friendliness. 'Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, emerged from St. Mary's Hospital in London on Tuesday evening to give the public its first view of the new heir to the British throne, joking that the still-unnamed boy had more hair than his father.' How much love being blown in the air.

One cannot but marvel at the shower of love from the entire British community. The funniest things life throws our ways...Imagine the number of babies born that same day. World over...Kenya, Nigeria, Namibia, Sri-Lanka, India, Pakistan, USA, Belgium, Brazil, South Africa, North Korea & a dozen places where babies were given birth to that same day. Alas, The Royal Baby chose that same day to arrive the world.

How I wish...

Anyway folks, I gotta get back to work or else, I may not get a credit alert next month...

Nice day Folks.

Scourge of Paid Employment

In my years of working in corporate organisations, I have discovered that the employee 'almost always' believes he will get there. Where is 'there'? Uhuru. You are expected to do more in a paid employment. Also, the more you do, the more you have not done! It is called the 'CAN DO' spirit...*hmmmm* This means that you can do all things through whatever means.

I was shocked to learn that the reward for hard work in an organisation is MORE WORK! This shows you as diligent at your assigned and unassigned tasks. One begin to wonder why we still have so many unemployed and yet, seeking to get a white collar job......*modern enslavement*.

I hope I won''t be overtly cynical if I say that a number of organisations, *at least Nigerian owned organisations* now have sharp classes within the organisation, i.e the Rich and the Poor. One factor constant  with the rich is that they get richer and vice versa, the 'poor' get worse off. There is always a sacrificial lamb for the rich to get richer *I meant that literally anyway*...like someone getting fired to cut down on expenses.

What is the end of the matter? *taking a cue from the Holy Books* The rewards of a teacher they say is in heaven. I guess an employee too might just fit in well.

What do you have in your hands? I now champion a school of thoughts that strictly believes that "if you don't leave your work, your work will leave you at a time". *borrowed quote* Learn a trade. Sharpen your inborn skills. Be diligent with your talents. Improve on yourself. Stop searching for jobs. Start working on yourself. You can make it if you really try...but you have to TRY!

Great day folks!
