,During the controversy surrounding the then President Yar'Adua's illness and the call for then Vice President Goodluck E. Jonathan to be made the acting President, It was the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) led by Pastor Tunde Bakare, Prof. Wole Soyinka and other well meaning Nigerians that took it upon themselves to organize protests and rallies to demand that Jonathan be made an acting President. These were Yoruba men who believe the right thing should be done at all times. With the pressure from these groups and the international communities coupled with divine providence, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was made an acting President in 2010.
During this time, Ankio Briggs, Edwin Clarke, Akpabio, and other acclaimed activists from Niger Delta never organized any rally, not even in PortHarcourt, Warri or Calabar. They remained silent. Fortunately when Jonathan won Presidential in 2011 and during his reign as President, the wife who is constitutionally irrelevant decided to throw shades and insults to a man who fought for her husband's emergence as the President of the most populous Nation in Africa.
During this time, the South East who later adopted Jonathan as their son, never blocked the Onitsha bridge to demand that he be made President, they were doing "Sit down look". But fast forward to 2015 General elections, Jonathan became the best thing after Ojukwu and they will do anything to bring him back to power. Incase many don't know, the acclaimed love for Jonathan was not due to the fact that Jonathan was the best for the presidency, or that he was truly their son as they claimed but because they enjoyed lots of Privileges and juicy positions during his reign as the President many of which plunged us into this present economic quagmire.
They told everyone who cared to listen how Jonathan was not allowed to rule in peace, how Apc caused every problem in Nigeria how they are Islamic party, Northern party etc. They came up with the rubbish that Amaechi is a betrayer and Judas. (I guess Edwin Clarke now is also a betrayer going by his recent utterances and dumping of the PDP) Like their gullible followers who buys into anything they utter, even when they do so for political gains, they replicated it everywhere possible and even took such illiterate sentiments that should have been questioned to the polls and crashed. Today they blame every other region for their woes.
The above background form the basis of this article. After losing the election, instead of learning from the loss that Nigerians were fed up of gross incompetence and pseudo leadership exhibited by President Jonathan, they continued with their irrelevant party sentiments, they pushed unnecessary sentiments to the South-South. This days you will hear such nonsense from some section of the youths in South-South as APC has no place in South-South and South-East, they are Islamic party with Islamic agenda and other nonsense.
I must remind my Brothers from the South-South that as at 2014, there were two States that belonged to the APC (Rivers and Edo). That the founding fathers of the PDP came from different region of the country and so also is APC. The APC has among its founding fathers Ogbonaya Onu, Tom Ikimi, Rochas Okorocha etc. From the South-South and South-East so how then is it a Northern or Islamic party? It must pointed out that every party was registered at the National level and serves as a platform for anyone to achieve its political ambition and contribute their own quota to national building. No party was registered as a Regional one.
The nonsense of terming a political party as religious or regional will not profit our Region the South-South. We must resist such nonsense being sold to us by political miscalculators. Every political party should be embraced by our people. We should not demonize any political party out of sentiments but we should criticize them based on facts, sound arguments, and having the interest of the Nation at heart. No matter what they do or say, if they must rule this nation, the votes of South-South and South-East will not be enough to earn them the Presidency seat. So lets allow them continue in their irrelevant sentiments. But when any of their politicians want to achieve their political ambition, they will jump into such party they hated yet their gullible, illiterate followers being used. Like many of them are doing now.
I am appealing to my South-South brothers and sisters especially the youths not to join in this nonsense of terming a political party as belonging to a particular region or religion. When you say a political party is for a region or religion, what do you mean by that? What do u tend to achieve with that? How do you want such region to feel about you? Before we become hated like the miscalculating region lets put a stop to that nonsense. We will rule this country again that is certain. If we must do that we will need the support of other regions and a political party to achieve that. We must not play into the hand of mischief makers, discord creators. Let us stop the saying that a particular party is for a region or religion and has no place in South-South. It will do us no good.

THINGS IPOB SUPPORTERS SHOULD CHANNEL THEIR PROTESTS INTO IN THE SOUTH EAST
It must be pointed out that when a people misplaces priorities, they begin to live a confused life. Since the loss of President Jonathan at the poll, there are insignificant few who does not want to come to terms with the reality on ground. These persons have cashed in to the misguided message of a man based in London and who might not suffer any consequence of his unguarded utterances and resurrection of a painful experience over 35 years ago.
This misguided few go by the Name Indegeneous People of Biafra. (IPOB) they have been engaging in protests. What they arepprotesting for is unclear to me. But here are lists of what they should channel their energy into instead of the present one they have embarked on.
________________________________________________________
1. GOOD GOVERNANCE IN THE SOUTH EAST: Imagine these IPOB supporters carrying placards that they demand good governance from all Five South East Governors. That they want the allocation that is received by South East Governors to be judiciously used to develop the area. That the available resources should be harnessed for the betterment of the people. This will be lauded than wearing black and blocking the only road that connect your region and others.
________________________________________________________
2. GOOD LEADERS : Are you kidding me? After the poor leadership exhibited by T.A Orji he was still voted into the senate? The South East is lacking in terms of quality leaders full of integrity and ready to work for the people. These IPOB supporters should demand that they be represented by leaders of proven integrity.
________________________________________________________
3. EDUCATION OF THE POPULACE: Many believe that a particular region are the ones that are more uneducated in the country or has more illiterates. This is erroneously erroneous. Someone stays in London and ask you to stockpile arms for war, you should kill other tribes, and many heeded to his wrong command and even started disturbing the peace of a Nation cos such person was arrested? In 21st century? I wont say much on this.
_______________________________________________________
4. STATE CREATION: The time and energy used in blocking Onithsa bridge, imagine channeling such energy in demanding from the legislatures one more State for the region. Have a conference where they will mandate all their representative to push for at least this singular agenda even though its their only achievement in four years.
________________________________________________________
5. POLITICAL RESTRUCTURING: The south east is always miscalculating politically and this the end product of bad leadership. Ojukwu contested and they voted Obasanjo, there was a candidate of Igbo extraction in Lagos and they left him to rally behind Jimi Agbaje how? Seriously how? You saw a man whose six years in power was a disaster you decided to throw all your weight behind him. Just because Ngige was in APC you left him and voted Ekwunife thereby losing the senate presidency. There is need for serious overhaul of the political structure of the south east party sentiments should be replaced with outstanding individual qualities of integrity, accountability and believe in the development of the people.
________________________________________________________
6. PURGING THE PEOPLE OF UNECESSARY POLITICAL SENTIMENTS: The South East needs to be purged of some meaningless, unnecessary, irrelevant and unprofitable political sentiments. APC is an Islamic party, they are Bokoharam party. Do you mean it? No wonder APGA has not gone beyond Abia State because it should be regarded as Yahoo Yahoo , Ritualists, and 419 party. No party was registered in a particular region they were all registered at the National level and should serve as platform to actualize anybody's political ambition no matter your tribe or religion. The South South should be weary of this type of sentiments and avoid it because some discord creators have started creating this impression on the region and it should be resisted. You want the presidency of this country and you are demonizing a party? What if that party is your only sure way of climbing to that post will you get there? IPOB supporters should use their energy to pursue this course and change this type of sentiments in the SE.
________________________________________________________
7. DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH EAST: I would have left my duty post to join the demonstrations if it was for development of the south East. Such developmental issues like Second Niger bridge, a seaport, building of industries, etc should have formed the basis for the protests. Business men and women from the region prefer to invest more outside than in the region. Go to Trade Fair, Alaba Market, Computer Village, Kano Main Market etc. They form major stakeholders in this places. Development of the region is needed more and should be vogorously pursued.

HOW TO CELEBRATE VAL WITH YOUR LOVER IF YOU ARE BROKE.
Though Valentine day was not intended for romantic relationships, but over the years lovers have hijacked it as a day of celebrating their love for one another and it seems it will forever remain so.
On valentine day, many people expects gifts from their lovers and maybe for the guy to take them out. (this is a Nigerian mentality though, as many western and developed nations have surpassed this "na man suppose take woman out" attitude). But due to the harsh economic condition and youth unemployment, valentine is sometimes not enjoyed by the poor and low income earners
Here are ways to go about the valentine day if u don't have money or broke.
On that day, try to do something no matter how small. On that day, clean your house in a new way possibly, some romantic arrangement with your lover's pix or pix of both of you together, hanged/pasted in diferent places in your room.
Lets assume you have 600 Naira with you, you can buy meat #200, two cups of rice, where i stay its #60 per cup, tin tomatoes and fresh one #100, Oil #50 and maggi #10 amounting to 480. Ask her to boil rice make stew with those foodstuffs that day. Allow her wear one of your T-shirts while she do the cooking then buy soft drinks with the remaining #120.
Enjoy the meal together with laughter, teasing, and feeding of each other. Please compliment her cooking.
If you are opportuned to have a tv/dvd watch some romantic movies or play music, If you don't have, play some party jamz with your phone so both of you can dancefor some hours and thereafter play some heart touching cool music (blues) like:
Forever – Paul Play
I swear – boyz to men
I swear – westlife
Don't brake ma heart – Banky W
Because you loved me – Celine Dion.
After the music, sit together on your bed, look into her eyes, hold her hands and let her know how your world have not remained the same since you met her, how you wish to see her grow old with you, how you cherish every moment you spend with her, that she owns your heart alone. Let her know that tomorrow will be better than today, that you will pay her patience and love with hardwork to give both of you a better future. Let her know its not by mr. Bigg's, shoprite, Tantalizers etc, but by what you truly feel down your heart and soul.
Retire to your bed late at night and spend the night the way you wish.
Happy Val in advance friends.

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