"YOU WANT MR. RIGHT WHEN YOU ARE MISS. WRONG"

,Most times when you see a single lady and you engage her in a conversation on why she is not married, they often give many reasons but one that has most times formed their argument is that they have not seen ''Mr right''. When you probe further on what qualifies a man as Mr right? Then you are in for an answer that could rival any essay in a WAEC exam. You will such things as he must be tall, handsome, rich, treat me like a queen, must not be a cheat, and others to numerous to mention.

As they say, what is good for the goose is also good for the gander, many women want MR. RIGHT but are MISS WRONG. Equity demands that since you want Mr. Right, you should also be "Miss right" of strive to be one in order to strike a balance when you both finally meet or even to be ahead of other women in getting married.

Sadly enough, many women are "Miss Wrong". They don't have what it takes to be married. They want to get married but they still keep more than one man, many of these Mr right seeking ladies can't cook, clean the home, and do laundry. They lack rudimentary elements of how to make a successful home. A friend of mine just parted ways with a certain lady who each time she cooks, the oil used in preparing such meal will be enough to cook three different types of food. He has tried to teach her, but it appears there's no success in sight.

Some of these women have not improved themselves over the years to make a man consider them for marriage. Many over eat themselves and get unnecessarily fat and ugly, what to them is beauty is to fix all the artificialities of this world and engage in frivolous spending on irrelevant things. Some ladies, their wardrobe alone can start three boutiques in their street of which none of the money used in buying those things was sourced by them.


A lady that is up to marriage age should have something doing and has weaned herself off different bad characters. You don't expect to married to a Mr right and you are Miss wrong yourself are expecting to go and pollute his rightness or complement it. Will it be fair to be Miss wrong and you expect Mr right?

THE FINAL WHISTLE HAD ALREADY BEEN BLOWN

After the 2015 Presidential residential elections, many were not happy
that President Mohammadu Buhari emerged victorious. To these people it
was like they were still dreaming. After all the mudslinging, smear
and hate campaign how did Buhari still win the elections? Well
Nigerians voted for Change and thats it. When the result were
anounced, Goodluck Jonathan called Buhari and congratulated him, some
Nigerians called him a hero. Hero for what? For accepting that he lost
an election? Well, we accept he is a hero for losing an election he
nearly jeopardized.

That being the case, some people have refused to move on after the
elections especially in a particular section of the country. But we
must remind these people that as an ''Abobaku'' (in some Youruba
culture, a man who is supposed to live and die with the king) it
amounts to betrayal not to have gone into oblivion with your master
and party. They have resulted to unecessary and meaningless criticism
of the present Government to the point that a presidential media aid
have christined them ''Wailing Wailers''. You will hear such
meaningless statements as he said he wants to fight corruption yet he
is surrounded by Tinubu Atiku, Amaechi etc. So because in your
factless claim that some of the president's party associates are
corrupt he should not fight corruption? These same people termed as
corrupt have been with us since the last sixteen years yet your
masters did nothing about them. If you have a chance to kill your
enemies and you fail to do so, if your enemies have the same chance
and decides to kill you should you blame them? The President declared
an asset and in a supposed sane nation with sane Abobakus they could
not challenge his declaration in court rather they say its a lie . But
they wanted us to continue with a man who said he doesnt give a damn
about asset declarartion. Please the elections are over, unless you
want to conduct another unofficial one between the former President
and the Present which changes nothing till 2019.

These people come up with different criticisms without profering any
reasonable solution to pressing National issues just like their party
PDP who only attack institutions recently because to them in their
sixteen years of destruction, these institutions never functioned and
should continue so. One man who has still not come to terms with the
reality on ground is Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose the "Market man
governor" whose next likely project to be commissioned might be the
distribution of chicken or fish to Ekiti people. He goes about
releasing meaningless stamens and recently his doom prediction for
Nigeria in 2016. But we must also remind him that he predicted worst
before the election especially the one on the current President being
in a London hospital many of which were false. We hope Fayose is not
indirectly predicting doom for himself?

Wailing wailers, the PDP, haters of President Buhari, haters of
Nigeria. Let me further add to your missery. The final whistle had
already been blown and like in the game of football, this tournament
have come to an end. Months after the President took over, what your
party and party affiliates made us believe were impossible had started
been possible. Atleast we can cut cost of governance and not travell
with a whole comunity for international engagement neither do we
budget for unecessary Firstladyship. Even in the face of dwindling Oil
prices, this Government came up with 6 trillion Naira budgets the
first of its kind in the country.

More have been done but thats not the intent of this article. Let me
remind you all that the glory days of this administration is still
ahead and no matter what, this present administration will be better
than the previous. So stop the irrelevant criticisms it will do you no
good. But if it heals your sorrow of the loss at the polls you can
continue but just know that you are already a nuisance to the society
with it.

OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI ON HIS RECENT APPOINTMENTS

MANY OF US ARE NOT HAPPY

Mr. President, i will be very straight and blunt. Your recent appointments have caused uproar in every part of Nigeria. I am not against your appointments neither am I in doubt of your resolve for a better Nigeria but you must run an all inclusive government that will not portray you as an ethnic bigot as many believe.

During the electioneering campaign, i quietly supported you and many times engage people on your agenda for the country and the need to have a man like you steering the ship of Nigeria. I was re-christined 'Buhari' 'Sai Baba' and other names that showed me as a Buharist.  Mr. President it was not an easy road to take. I was called a traitor cos i come from the south south. Many really had nothing incriminating against you or accusation of corruption against you, they only centered it on the reason that you are an ethnic and religious bigot.

I could remember when Jega was announcing the result, then, i was in one of the South Eastern State and after you were declared winner and i said 'YES CHANGE IS HERE' , one guy nearly attacked me. He called me names and asked me to keep quiet or else he will injure me. I just left the scene quietly to avoid trouble this is not with many numerous "abeg leavam" from many onlookers. Mr. President that's how rough the road was supporting you.

After you  assumed office, i still have to always defend every step you take because people have known me as your supporter so any wrong you do, people call for my head or gather to mock me.

Baba, your latest appointments was a joke taken too far. Your party was not aware and they all came from the north. Today many mock us your ardent supporters. 'We no tell you' is the greeting i 've been receiving since today. 'Buhari cannot change' 'Na him people him go favour'

even though you don't want to give the appointments known figures in South south and East, you could have given it to someone else. At least one between Chief of Staff and SGF. Mr. President Who are your advisers? Did you show them the list? Did you consider their opinion? Or you just went ahead and took the decision all by yourself. If the later is what has birthed this recent national outcry, then Mr. President it was not a good one.

I have just been wondering what Ogbonaya Onu, Rochas Okorocha, Chris Ngige, Joe Igbokwe, and other Igbo men who took the risk in supporting you will be going through in the hands of their people. They were called different names yet they believed in this course. Today it is as if they made mistake doing so. The shame, mockery and insult they will receive because of these recent appointments is unimaginable.

Mr. President, we are not happy and we implore you to thread carefully in national dealings as not to fuel tribal crisis or do what will make we your supporters regret giving you  our backing amidst danger. Please seek the input of your party members in further appointments and remember you 'belong to nobody and belong to everybody'.

Buhari Nigerians Still Believe in You

The recent attacks by Boko Haram insurgents have kept many wondering whether their votes casted for CHANGE was waste. While those in the opposition have been rejoicing about some events that has taken place since this administration took over.

Many have been asking for him to name is cabinet and ministers. I understand the background of this as many have over the years come to see Nigerian government as a power sharing platform where everyone comes to the table and take their own share.  But sorry for some of you its no longer business as usual. The last administration, many ministers were just figure heads and the president doesn't want it so.  He will name his cabinet at the appropriate time.

As to what have changed since he took over, recently there are massive recruitment exercise advertised by various institutions in the country. I must confess that through out my stay in the University, lecturing jobs are hardly advertised we only come to school to see a new lecturer. But it's no longer so. Recently, dead institutions are naturally revived. A dormant EFCC now at least arrest people and people are afraid to steal unlike before.

The outcry and criticisms currently noticed are expected but larger chunk of those who have irrationally started this criticism are from the opposition or were those who were shaky in their support of PMB but ended up just voting for him. Those who know and strongly believe in PMB knows that BH are in for the shock of their life. To these ones (me inclusive) their believe can never be shaken. Though, it is disheartening to hear series of bombing lately, but the end is near for BH

We understand President Buhari wants to employ a different approach to tackle this problem, and as such a little time will be taken to perfect plans. Like in any war situation, effective plans wins the war. Like in many American movies the actor is usually beaten but in the end he carries the day. Like the 2015 presidential election, the postponement was a temporary setback but Buhari still won the election.
Bokoharam is currently doing "initial gra gra"  but baba will still win.

How Long Can You Be Faithful While Your Partner is Away

Relationship is about trust and the ability to stay put and be faithful to one another, but there are circumstances that can threaten or make one to find themselves in a tight corner where keeping to faithfulness and trust becomes a challenge.
Chinedu had been dating Ngozi and after his university, he traveled abroad but not with a Promise of coming back to marry Ngozi. At the airport, while crying, Ngozi pleaded with him not to abandon  her when he gets there. Chinedu in turn pleaded with her to be faithful and keep herself till he comes back.

Two years later, Chinedu came back from abroad and they continued to date. They started plans for their marriage ceremony. They both went to visit the lady that will handle their wedding decoration to discuss with her concerning logistics and every other thing involved in decorating the occasion. On getting there, the husband of the lady saddled with the decoration happens to be around too and he knows the man they 've both met before while Chinedu was applying for Visa. After the discussion, as they were about leaving, Chinedu and the decorator's husband were discussing when he asked if that was the lady he wants to get married to? Yes.. He said. Any problem? Isn't she beautiful? No not that, the man replied just that this same lady at sometime usually visit a friend of mine and sometimes spend weeks with him. Are you sure about this? Chinedu asked. Why would i lie? Its ok no problem Chinedu replied.

Chinedu got home, sat on his couch and was so worried. Ngozi came in and asked what the problem was and he said nothing that he is just imagining their wedding day. Early morning the next day, he woke his fiancee. Did you sleep with anybody since i 've been away? He asked. "No why would i do that"? Please don't lie to me. Then what did you go to do at 15. Chidiaown Street and even spent a week there.

By this time she started crying. Please forgive me it was during the the last one month to your coming back. There was this guy that kept pestering me i tried my best in resisting him but it was not easy two years without anyone to make me feel like a woman. Am a human being the urge was too much for me please forgive me my love. Since then i 've called it off with him. How could you? Chinedu asked you promised me you would be faithful why? Why? Since you did not keep to your words this marriage is canceled.

Ladies, what is your take on this? How long can you be faithful when your partner is not around?

ETERNAL LOVE



Baby my LOVE is not like the Hamattan
That comes  at a particular season
It is not like the Moon that appears and goes back
It is not like the Sun and the Rain that have their particular time and season

My LOVE is not like a Computer that catches virus
Neither is it like a Phone that fades and gets spoilt one day
It is not like Christmas that comes once in a year
Neither is it like the Val day, Birthday and other days that come once annually

But it's like the Oceans that never gets dry
It's like the River that flows forever
It's like the Air we breathe
Above all it is LOVE itself that last for eternity

To My Unseen Love

In my heart is your home
And daily I do clean this home
Recently, this home has a new foam
I have wondered when I will see you in this home

My search for you is like Abubaker  Shekau
And my heart, soul and spirit wants u anyhow
I  know I can't afford a Ram or a Cow
But I Promise to kill a fowl

Come and end this loneliness
Come and fill this emptiness
I want to  feel your great loveliness
I will continue  to search for you my beautiful Princess

Saraki Emergence, is Buhari's CHANGE Under Threat?

What Happened yesterday at National Assembly was shocking. Yesterday, the Nation looked gloom, not many noticed this, what happened yesterday was not just ordinary, there were those even in APC that clearly orchestrated this. The President called a meeting, Bukola Saraki aware of the meeting, went ahead with his personal ambition and ignored who ever does not in anyway support his desperate ambition. I have nothing against Dogara as its clear the House of Representatives wanted him.

In all these, who has truly lost? Many Nigerians don't know what awaits them hence their joint jubilation with the PDP in celebrating what might be a stumbling block to our needed Change. To many of them this is about Tinubu and as such whether its against the interest of the country, so long as it does not favour Tinubu, no problem. But they forget the Saraki dynasty is no different.

The drama that was played at the National Assembly Yesterday was one that can best be described as the hand writing and will of the known ''Cabals'' what then has Nigerians gained from this? Should we celebrate what was cooked by Atiku, Saraki, Akpabio, and the rest? Nigerians should be in reflective mood and not celebrate because their expected change might have gotten a heavy road block.

Do Nigerians expect a bill that will check corrupt practices of people who were involved in this gang-up to scale through in the senate?
A mole might have been planted to scuttle our needed change. Will this house allow law to take its cause when the law enforcement agencies come calling on people like Buruj Kashamu and T.A Orji who were part of what many are ignorantly celebrating today.

Why do you think the PDP who did everything to stop us from experiencing this change are now so happy? Have they also embraced change?
The days ahead will tell but am so scared deep inside me.

We are still waiting for Ben Bruce to tell us his own part of the story of what truly transpired d at the house yesterday or was he also part of the gang up? He has been tweeting and writing so we expect  to hear from him soon if truly he claims to be different.

Have Women of Today Lost Their Usefulness?

Marriage, in God's own intent, was for a complimentary and supportive reasons. Whether such reasons have formed the basis for people getting married is a discuss that should be critically looked at.
One of my Uncle who travelled abroad came back to search for a wife after which he took her to settle back in Lagos. He had already planned his marriage right from the onset that he will make-do with four children no matter their gender. Eight years into the marriage they are already done with child bearing.    

Both of us were discussing recently and he brought the issue of his marriage. He told me he is tired of marriage but was not considering divorce. I enquired why he  has suddenly gotten tired of his marriage? He told me he sees no reason for marriage other than to make babies. That he has gained nothing special from the wife since he got married to her other than her boobs which he can't stop sucking, taking her to functions to intmidate other guys with her beauty and enddowments.

The story of my uncle above, sums up the life of some modern women. A situation whereby a young guy struggles through school, or whatever he choses to do, sometimes, no lady will accept him because he has nothing or give him support to get to where he is going. He graduates from school, eventually gets a job, grows his career/profession/business and decides to settle down.

He gets married to a woman who had no form of contribution to height he has reached in life, she come into his house start making babies for him, satisfy his sexual urge, cook, take care of the babies and thats it. When the kids grow up and can cater for themselves what next for her in the marriage. When challenges come, maybe at workplace, family or everyday normal challenges, some guys think outside the box and solve their own problem without any meaningful contribution from the wife. That is the emotional support which is another reason why theres marriage but some guys hadly rely on it to continue their life. Financially, some men have designed themselves in a way that the income of their spouse don't count in the marriage(that's when they work).

Many guys have argued that some of the reasons for marriage can be gotten outside even without a wedlock, you can bear children with a lady, fund her to take care of them, get a cook, and even have chance of banging different big backside if you so wish so what then is the need for marriage?

From this foregoing, women should start moulding themselves into relevant, intelligent and would be supportive wife.  Some women should stop waiting for a man to come out of the blues to come and marry them. When a man comes to you for marriage, get to know him better before you say i do that way you can find creative ways of being supportive to him throughout your marriage journey.

Women should not only focus on their own career before their husband comes along or engage in fashionist or fashionmonger way of life but carefully draw a plan of how their family would look like, identify with a man who tends or exhibit such traits of a man you would like to spend the rest of your life with and build up a relationship with him that way he won't see you as just another silverware added to his cabinet.      
  

2015 Elections And Concession of Defeat

The 2015election has come and gone, but its drama will continue to be issues of discuss on almost every given opportunity. One of such talking point, was the concession of defeat by Former President, Goodluck Jonathan. Many hailed this action and praised him for his rare show of sportsmanship. Some Governorship candidates did the same thing when they also lost, notably, Jimi Agbaje of Lagos State.

Nigerians in their usual abuse of anything, has come down hard on those who lost but did not concede defeat. Most of those who are forcing other candidates to concede defeat are from the PDP. Nigerians must understand that democracy has many doors to power and that is why someone like Chibuike Amaechi former governor of Rivers State got his power from the courts. It is the right of the individual who feel pained in any election to seek redress in court or whatever available means that is backed by constitution.

President Jonathan had every right to challenge the outcome of the 2015 general elections. This will not stop his handover but just to challenge any reason he feels was not constitutionally in his favour that led to his loss. Ordinarily it will be a waste of time to have challenged the 2015 Presidential election because even with the massive Rigging that characterised the election in the South-South and South-East he still lost. Many will argue on child voters in the north but clearly there were child voters in 2011 when the president won and why is it that no one cried foul that time but decide to do so now?

Those who are calling for governors in different States to concede defeat even in the face of glaring irregularities are enemies of our young Democracy.
A situation whereby lives were lost unnecessarily because someone wants to become a Governor by all means is unacceptable and its outcome must be challenged in the courts. It is morally wrong to ask an opponent to concede defeat when it was obvious the other candidate had an undue advantage prior and during the election. A situation whereby the number of  votes cast exceeded the number of accredited/registered voters and people are calling on the candidate to concede defeat is not only hypocritic, but its like adding salt to one's injury.

Funny enough, those who are clamouring for these concession of defeat are people who know nothing about good governance and global practices of sound democracy. Many of them are better off dancing "Shoki", smoking their weed, enmeshing themselves in Tonto Dike news  and engaging in fruitless activity than meddling into serious National matters on the social media.

Nigerians must know that that evil should not prevail over good if we truly calim to worship a supreme deity. We should not join those who don't care about our wellbeing but are interested in what comes into their pockets hence, their calling of a cow Daddy because they want to eat meat.
