quick update

How una dey my people?

this is a real quick update, i know you guys must have been asking whats wrong, but nothing is wrong just that the event that has happened in my life in the past 1 month has been sad events which i didnt want to recount on here...but now im back and for good...so wait for my gist...

im off to school now...take care

feelin' more pumpos!!!!!!!!

Hello my people, how una dey? I hope you all enjoyed your easter holidays well and had fun, as for me it wasnt that really fun-filled as you all know that in recent weeks or will i say months, i havent been the favourite of good and yummy things, but i really was thinking that all these were going to eat me up and then i may grow leaner, and i always remember my mum shouting into my ear always...."make sure you eat eat eat".....but food is the last thing that comes to my mind these days, but then i took these pictures yesterday and i found out that instead i was feelin' more pumpous in these events......So I feel strong and I am stronger..... I just thought it to be a great thing that people go thru thick and thin and come out with the stress all tellin' on them, but mine seems to be the reverse, cos going by these photos above, you might not even want to believe al my previous posts about how tough life has been treating me....

Just wanted to share this with you people....Monday its back to school.....so im just trying to study for the rest of the day...assignments wan kill me oooohhh...abeg make una come help ooohh!!!!!!

good things >>>> bad situations as well

Hello my people how una dey? It actually long since i last made a single post or even read any blog. You might be asking yourself why....its not because of school...yes school has been hectic and the workload or university life has started to doom on me, but thats not reason enough, for so many time i have tried to make a post, but then i just didnt want to let everything out and i swore from day 1 i started this blog never to lie to my readers, instead i rather not write anything, so this explains why i havent posted anything in a long time, but the truth remains. I AM GOING THROUGH A VERY HARD TIME.....that is a fact i can not deny, but i came across an article the other day that says bad things follow almost immediately to series of good things, and i was thinking the writer didnt know what he/she was talking about, but here i am experiencing almost more than 2 months of hard time, bad experiences, betrayal, blackmail, hatred, jealousy, name it i have been experiencing it, and im now ready for more cos initially i was dudging them....anyway coming out of this will really proof my victorious nature and make me completely the strong man my father wanted me to be. sorry peeps, but im back and im sorry for the un-explained vacation. you know i love all of you guys and thank you all that acred to ask where i was...i forever keep you guys at the right place in my heart.

Peace Out: BEWARE OF THE FRIENDS YOU KIP!

4 years on.......FATHERLESS!

Today 12th february, 2008 made it exactly 4 years journey into the world of the fatherless.

Today marks 4 years of me being fatherless.

Today marks 4 years my father decided to leave us behind.

Today is a very sad day for me.

Today I remember all the promises my late dad made to me unfulfilled.

Today we remember the death of a great man.

Exactly on 12th Feb. 2004, My father passed on!

Today 12th Feb. 2008, I am 4 years in the FATHERLESS world.

But also today, I come to show respect to my father, my mentor, my hero.

The philanthropist in Me

According to Encyclopedia:

Philanthropy is the act of donating money, goods, time, or effort to support a charitable cause, usually over an extended period of time and in regard to a defined objective. In a more fundamental sense, philanthropy may encompass any altruistic activity which is intended to promote good or improve human quality of life. Someone who is well known for practicing philanthropy may sometimes be called a philanthropist. Although such individuals are often very wealthy, people may nevertheless perform philanthropic acts without possessing great wealth.

A philanthropist is someone who engages in philanthropy; that is, someone who donates his or her time, money, and/or reputation to charitable causes. The term may apply to any volunteer or to anyone who makes a donation, but the label is most often applied to those who donate large sums of money or who make a major impact through their volunteering, such as a trustee who manages a philanthropic organization.

A philanthropist may not always find universal approval for his/her deeds. Common accusations include supporting an unworthy cause (such as funding art instead of fighting world hunger) or having selfish motivation at heart (such as avoiding taxes or attaining personal fame).

An orphan (from the Greek ορφανός) is a person (typically a child), who has lost both parents, often through death. One legal definition used in the USA is someone bereft through "death or disappearance of, abandonment or desertion by, or separation or loss from, both parents".[1] Common usage limits the term to children, (or the young of animals) who have lost both parents. On this basis half-orphans are those with one surviving parent.

While I was in Nigeria for the Christmas Holiday, around 26th december being the boxing day, I was watching TV and saw the philanthropy gesture the Ogun state governor exhibited, by visiting hospitals and clinics in the state to remind them that they were not alone and should enjoy the festive season as well....and immediately after that clip, I started thinking...what can I do? but to go into such philanthropy, you need to be wealthy, as I have read and understood that most Philanthropists are wealthy. I remembered the days of my late Father, he was one as well, and what he always preached was help help help someone in need.

I got in the room..grabbed all i had (money), asked my sister to accompany me somewhere...and off we went, she didnt know where we were going, and gbamm we arrived at the market, and I handed her the money, please help me buy anything the orphanage might need...But this amount is too little she responded...I said that was all I could afford, and in we jumped inside the market and started buying buying buying...and within minutes,,....we were done...and bought fews things.

We found an Orphage in Lekki, and we drove in....and handed over these things to them....they were very happy...it didnt seem anyone had been there that day, cos you could trace our car tyre marks on the ground and we didnt see any when we came.....So we prayed together....played with the kids....snapped soem pictures...and Off we went....tears dropping from my eyes....SO THESE KIDS HAVE NO PARENT? NO FATHER.....NO MOTHER!....No one to depend on. I then realized I was priveledged to have my mother.

Anyway peeps...below are some pictures we took there...."Be good and lend a helping hand if you can, no matter how little"......Obinwanne

Bloggers Party + Aftermath = Arrival in Johannesburg

How una dey my people? I hope say una don jolly jolly well well for this festive season wey just pass? I want to start writting abit in "pigdin english" this year, but i just thought that some people might not understand the meaning of certain words, especially the non-nigerians and all those "oyibo-turned-nigerians".

Anyway, I wrote this piece on the flight from Lagos to Jhb, cos I was more than bored, and when I slept, I woke up almost immediately. I never thought I would board a Virgin Nigeria aircraft again, but then my decision of reviewing the airline to use next stil stands, I had to jump on this one cos it was a return ticket, so I'll still have to re-think wether to fy with them again. In a later post I'll explain with every details what went wrong between my humble self and the so called Virgin abi "Prostitute" Nigeria Airways. (i.e concerning my stolen and damaged luggages).

....Yes the bloggers party, I went .....well I also can be considered absent at same time, because I fall in both directions, because I did go, but the event "get-together" has ended and almost everyone was gone before my arrival. I only met about 5 - 6 bloggers, and thanks to both Tayo (d organizer) and the Lekki-V/Island terrible traffic. The event was suppose to kick off at 4:00pm and I gave Tayo a shout at 5:30pm........bad news, nobody has turned up......okay since I live on the Island as well, I decided to chill abit and then start leaving....I left the house at 6:00pm.......on a normal day, I should be in V/I at about 6:25 - 6:30, but guess what? I was at the venue (Number 10) few minutes after 8:00pm and I saw few bloggers outside leaving, only got to exchange greetings with them and with about 3 of them inside, I bounced into the venue....(i must say the venue is fantastic).......Oh! i'm forgetting something here...remember I mentioned previously that I might not go cos of car/transport issue.....well I asked my big brs for his ride ...which i should call his baby, and guess what?....he responded "you can take it, but dont stay out too late oohh!"...........It was like a miracle, because all the time i've been in that car, i've always been a passenger....so atleast I got to ride on it.

So where was I? I got into the venue....mehnnnnn!!!!! Okocha has taste...yes JJ. Okocha....he owns the Bar. Unique, but I must say expensive, but for that kind of luxury in Lagos, It should be expensive. I ended up having a few drinks there, and drove around V/I...and then back home.

.....Our plane got to Johannesburg,....the next thing, the Pilot says the visibility at the airport wasn't that clear and we wouls remain on air for about 30mins to an hour.....now its 45mins..gone.....another 30....and now he says he's gonna try and yes I was praying....I haven't seen my ******........and was even one of the reasons, I jumped on the plane so early back to SA......3 weeks apart...GRrrRrrrrrr!!!!!!...The longest APART!....Anyway we anded safely...and that was it....got home......dropped my luggages...Jumped into my car....Off to her house....IT WAS AN AWESOME MOMENT.....what a RE-UNION.

Now, its been 3 days I got back to SA...and so many dramas...more than I ever witnessed in my Life....I will give you a load-down next post....tho have to discuss the issue with ehr, before putting it up on the internet..... I am very grateful for God's blessings, Grace and Love upon my life for the whole of 2007 and this Splendid 2008 will be Wonderfula dn fantastic for me and all of you!........did I hear you say AMEN?......yes thats the spirit....For all is possible for only whom that Believeth...it is written.

My people...I go leave una for now....Did I mention that I, Ugo and Mr.Fineboy was featured on MADE Magazine, December 2007 issue? I turned instant celebrity.....LOL

+peace out+

How una dey my people?

I know by now you must have been angry with me for not updating, but I will not blame you sha, but also dont blame your boi, because man pikin don enter eko(lagos) and you know the hussle and bussle of lagos how it is here.....Mehn! I don miss plenty things sha...But it was a very very sad journey for me, and I will say the saddest ever of me going to naija...but then I will leave it for another day's post, because I am here just to touch base with una and also wish una hapy christmas, bal ka de sallah and happy new year in advance.

Anyway lemme give you a tip of my sad trip to naija......I left johannesburg with two luggages, and even paid for excess luggage, because im supposed to carry nothing more than 40KG, but i have total of 63KG, so i coughed out money and paid, and one bag was larger and heavier than the other...anyway the bottom line is that, by the time I arrived MM International Airport in Lagos, I could only find one of my luggages (the small one) and the large on came out EMPTY!!!!!! .......yes your guess is as good as the truth, THEY ROBBED ME...THEY STOLE EVERYTHING IN MY BAG BEFORE I COULD SET MY EYES ON IT, AND IT WAS VIRGIN NIGERIA AIRCRAFT I CAME WITH....

Anyway how una dey, its just a tip of whats been making me sad all along, just that im in communication with them now on how to replace few of the things sha....so when im done with them, I will come with the full gist....trust me.

Lagos has been keeping me a lil lively...so many shows, i cant believe it, from one show to the other, but the rthym unplugged was best for me...so many things happening in naija sha....Another good thing....I was covered on the MADA Magazine december issue....go and buy it...LOL.....i remember sinem contacting sometime ago about it...finally im a Celeb on mag???? LOL...anyway it was nice sha....Ugo was there and mr. fineboy as well....it was something about blog sha....

How have you guys been enjoying the holidays? "IF YOU'RE STILL SITTIN' DOWN. YOU'RE SITTING ON A LONG THING"...... thats like the most common slang in lagos now...though originally used by D'banj on his song.

The internet is not that favourable...so i'll leave you now, but make sure you enjoy your holiday having fun and I hope we all enjoy the new year 2008.

I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

'What goes around comes around'

One day a man saw a old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.

He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. Sh e told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She co uldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me.'

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A f ew miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a cl ean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan .

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'

There is an old saying 'What goes around comes around' Today I publish this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine.

I just wish its REAL!

Would they finally let Uwazurike go?

I have been following the cases that the Federal Government of Nigeria had against people like: Dokubo-Asari, Gani Adams and Uwazurike. If you do not know these men mentioned or atleast any of them, then you should question your origin (lol). These men are few of those that do not fear intimidation and were able to speak out no matter the circumstance.

The trio of these men are from Niger-Delta, Yoruba and Igbo tribes respectively, and they were the mouthpiece of thier people, and somtime in 2005 they were all arrested and incarcerated for a crime that Nelson Mandela was jailed for as well. The crime is called "Treason" and they all have been in jail somehwhere in the North (keffi prison), being taking to court in and out and being denied bail, but earlier this year, Gani Adams the leader of OPC (Odua Peoples Congress0 was granted bail and was allowed to go home to his family, and about two months back Dokubo-Asari was also allowed to go home, if you have forgotten, Asari is the leader of Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force (NDPVF). But interestingly the third man being held for same offence as the others, the leader of Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazurike is still being held in Keffi Prisons after letting others home and being to court in and out over 30 times in two years plus.

This case is very very interesting, because I have read every article related to this case and I never found the reason why he is being held and he has never posed any danger to the nation nor did any violent things that may warrant all that is being done to this man, while the two others released and let home had wasted bloods of Nigerians in thier course for whatever they wanted to achieve individually. You may not understand this, but if i start to write further on this case, it will turn out to be the biased Obinwanne writting and no more the normal Obi that you know, so I willl rather give a break here and have you do the addition and subtraction involved in this case, but i want to know if he is being held because he is of Igbo Origin? Don't get me wrong because from all angles my question is right, very right infact because the others aren't of same tribe with him, so maybe that was what trigered my question.

Being in detention isn't an easy task, and this man Uwazurike has been there for so long, and within this period, he lost his Mother, we all know how we love mothers, and in Igbo Culture, the burial rights has to be performed by the son, and Uwazurike happens to be the only surviving son of the woman who died without setting eyes on her son for the past few years, the Justice presiding over the case, Justice Binta Nyako then said yesterday that she was willing to release Uwazurike on bail to attend his mother's burial, but with conditions that: "he brings evidence to show that under Igbo culture, it was mandatory for him to attend the burial."

People, we are still Africans right, and I cant remember of anywhere on this planet where you have to bring an evidence to attend a love one's funeral (let alone your mother). God forbid!

I didnt want to write anything yet on this issue until later later, but what amazes me the most is the issue of attending a burial ceremony of ones mother with a mandatory reason!

It is late now, so I will dtop here and catch some sleep.

2 Nigerian Students Found Dead in Malaysia

I havent been here for a while now, not because I was out of Internet or anything, but I was just hoping for a better thing to write as my last post was the loosing pattern of game my club (chelaea fc) was playing, and that i regarded as bad news and i was always hoping for something good to come up, and im grateful to those who sympathized with me on my club issue.

I didnt really want to write anything now, I was just randomly reading some blogs, articles and news online and I came across this very unfortunate news on Thisday website, and you can read about it HERE

I dont know of our youths to be using drugs, even if I am wrong, but atleast havent come across any, and here goes the news from Thisday:

Two Nigerian students were yesterday found dead in their apartment unit in Taman Connaught, Cheras, Malaysia. Reports said the deceased were believed to have overdosed on drugs.The victims were discovered by their housemate in a room in their apartment unit at 10am yesterday. The deceased, Olugboja Emmanuel Olawale, 22, was found lying on the bed while Abbas Alhaji, 24, was sprawled under it.

The housemate claimed he returned home last Tuesday, went straight to bed and found Olugboja and Abbas when he went to wake them up yesterday morning.Police investigations showed that the victims did have any injury marks and neither were they robbed. The deceased did not sustain any injury or strangulated marks neither were there indications of robbery. Reports said that police are investigating if the students were involved in drugs.

But the police believe the deceased could have taken a large number of pills believed to be psychotropic pills. Both victims, business information system students at University College Sedaya International (UCSI), came to Malyasia three years ago. Cheras CID Chief Deputy Supt V. Samugam said police are waiting for the post mortem results to determine the cause of the deaths.

Both bodies were taken to the Hospital University Kebangsaan Malaysia for a post mortem. Consulate Officer of the Nigerian High Commission, Ibrahim Hamidun, who was at the scene, advised the media not to speculate on the deaths. “It has already been bad for us. We, Africans, have been wrongly accused for the recent Kepong murders and two of our people have been arrested without any solid proof,” he said.

IT IS VERY VERY SAD......

I still believe in you......Chelsea 4 Life1

I still believe in you guys, even after today's defeat at Oldtraford, i know that the downfall isnt here yet.....and i know that it didnt happen cos they're better but because of cheating....all the mess going on in english football is really discouraging me the more and more, from disallowing goals to awarding penalty and now red cards appear like the blue sky....i cant even imagine what work they're doing at the English FA and not seeing all these,....

Sky Sports can bear me withness to these:

Controversy of the Weekend - Mike Dean

Chelsea will feel hard done by following their 2-0 defeat at Manchester United in their first game without Jose Mourinho. Firstly, referee Mike Dean decided to harshly dismiss John Obi Mikel for a late challenge on Patrice Evra when a yellow may have sufficed. United then go and take the lead in the third minute of injury time through Carlos Tevez when two minutes of injury time were indicated. With Chelsea bravely battling on, Dean awarded United a penalty when Tal Ben Haim's contact with Louis Saha looked minimal, a spot-kick the Frenchman dispatched to secure the win.

Anyway i am not supprised at all, i know it will only get better so to all of you Blues fans and supporters out there, please dont loose hope because this is only a "test" that we shat overcome.

True Blues for ever............................

Obi and Ohakim: Governors Without Godfathers

Obi and Ohakim: Governors Without Godfathers

The shameless Nigerian political class are at it again. Reputed to derive joy in squandermania the new public office holders have begun the march again towards stunning profligacy. The present set of political office holders are showing the early signs that they are no different from those we have just bade farewell. Or how else does one justify the decision by Mrs Patricia Etteh, the Speaker of the House of Representatives to throw a birthday bash in far away America? Or her approval for the renovation of her official residence with that of her deputy for a whooping 628 million naira?!

Madam Etteh is very happy with herself and her exalted office it seems! One doubts if she understands the responsibility and importance attached to that high office. If she does then her actions and carriage since her anointing was achieved through the Obasanjo forces leaves much to be desired. You see for almost a decade I have been travelling and living abroad those women or girls who work in the hair-dressing salon or restaurants or nite clubs and bars are the cheapest of women, they are seen as women of easy virtues! Mrs Etteh may not be a woman of easy virtue since she is an 'honourable' and a Speaker at that but her face somewhat betrays an unserious woman engrossed in moral debauchery.

Mrs Etteh's antecedents (including been an accomplished hair-dresser!) may well be far from scandals but it is only charitable to say that the way she rose to become the Speaker of the House must have been a reward of hardwork traceable to her capacity to 'play well' with those who matter in Nigerian political establishment and her seducing features. Her mother had asked critics to 'leave her daughter alone'. Of course we shall let her be only when she shows empathy with millons of Nigerians who go to bed hungry and those who die daily from the death traps that are the federal roads. Her uprightness will let us leave her alone.

In Nigerian politics godfatherism is a hallmark of a successful politician. Etteh has her own godfather in Olusegun Obasanjo, the former president who is also David Mark's godfather. The Senate President would not have ascended to that high position that provoked much controversy if not for Obasanjo's intervention. Ibrahim Babangida holed up in Minna Hill-top mansion commands the godfathership of many retired general-militricians, some as senators and others governors.

Perhaps the greatest godfather operating from the western state is one and only Lamidi Adedibu who boasted the other day that the political power of Oyo State is in his dirty hands! We have a responsible powerful godfather in Kwara State in the person of Senator Olusola Saraki whose son Dr Bukola presides over executive affairs of the state. In Edo State Tony Anenih is competing for godfathership with the likes of Tom Ikimi, Samuel Ogbemudia and the Igbinedion dynasty.

Past governors are not left out as they single-handedly installed their favourite successors; we have Rivers' Peter Odili, Delta's James Ibori, Goodluck Jonathan's Bayelsa and Orji Uzor Kalu's Abia. These ex-governors more than any other altruistic purpose did this for self-preservation; they sought out people who would cover their corrupt tracks as they leave office.
In Anambra and Imo States the two gentlemen elected truly as governors are not doing badly in public opinion polls. I admire both men: Governors Ikedi Ohakim and Peter Obi. They have certain traits in common. But the most remarkable thing about them is that they are governors without godfathers! God, more than any body or force, put them in their respective states' government houses!

While both Ohakim and Obi are God-fearing good christians their style of politics is in sharp contrast to the normal politicking in Nigeria where filthy lucre and other odd gains supercede service to the people. Governor Ohakim upon his miraculous election in April declared that God is his godfather! A praying and fasting Governor Ikedi has appointed people that will aid his realisaton of the new Imo of his dreams. He has recently launched a "Clean and Green" environmental campaign in Owerri and its environs aimed at restoring the former cleanest city in Nigeria to its past glory.

Governor Obi on the other hand is turning Anambra State around. An unfortunate state that was almost destroyed by regenage elements aided and abetted by ex-president Obasanjo Obi is gently cleaning up the Augean Stable without making noise about it all. Anambrarians like myself are applauding his leadership qualities.

Ikedi Ohakim was elected governor as a result of the Ifeanyi Araraume/PDP saga in Imo State. Using the Orji Kalu's PPA political platform Ohakim was catapulted to power even against his expectation by the sheer providence; and he has been humble enough to admit the mighty hand of God in his victory against formidable opponents and gladiators. Ohakim could well be another Sam Mbakwe in the making.

Governor Obi has become a hero of democracy and the rule of law in Nigeria. Cheated out blindly in a gubernatorial poll he won convincingly through the APGA party in the 2003 general elections Obi sought help from the law courts and reprieve came his way after years, he claimed his stolen mandate from Chris Ngige. The same stolen mandate was again stolen from him this time through the manipulated instrumentality of the state house of assembly; he was controversially impeached but he bounced back to reclaim once again his mandate after the law courts intervened to restore order and the rule of law. Not satisfied with the fact that Ngige and the electoral robbers that rigged him out had spent much of his 4-year tenure Obi headed to the Supreme Court to have his full term restored. And he was not disappointed as the eminent Jurists saw reason with his argument.

When Governor Obi paid an unscheduled visit to the PDP-dominated Anambra State House of Assembly last week Thursday he had sought to dispel rumours of friction existing between him and the lawmakers. According to him: "As the 31st member of the Assembly, I urge you also to remember that the society we abuse today will take revenge on our children tomorrow and will even do worse to our children’s children". That is sound statement from a sound mind!

For Peter Obi and Ikedi Ohakim, the governors without godfathers, I say may God strenghten you and guide and guard you aright. Long live the dream in Owerri and Awka!

...what can i say?

After spending hours on research about the Genocide that occured in Biafra land between 1967-1970, i was in so much anger, the Obi you know before was changed internally, and questions upon questions were coming out from my mouth (aloud)....asking and asking, but no one to answer me....my late dad told me about the war, about how he lost his brothers (my uncles) and all the war stories, but i just took it as one of the 007's movies......but didnt go and research on it, maybe my dad didnt want to tell me with so much indepth so that i wont grow hatred with my felow "nigerians".....? maybe and maybe not?

This post might actually make no sense to you, but i choose to write about it, because this is my own space on the internet....and 'you cant take it away from me'...................enough of jokes now, but after sleepless nights of research, i still cant help it, but ask these questions:

Why is Britain so Wicked and Heartless?

Why is Russia happy about violence? (what do they stand to gain?)

Why does Col. Adekunle (aka BLACK SCORPION) have to make that statement?

Why was a big country such as Nigeria be left to inexperienced and naive Gen. Gowon?

What is Awolowo's gain in the war? (excuse his intelligence)

Why did Nigerians HATE Igbo people?

Why do they feel proud killing helpless Bifrans?

After 1 million massacred, why rape our young ladies?

Why can there never be an Igbo President?

Why all these hatred?

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

I cant help, but Cry, Cry and Only cry!

I couldnt believe all these crimes were committed against humanity!

Golden Eglets become World Champion!

Brand New GirlFriend!

I will first start by apologising for my late post and my absence since from the Blogville, but i know that you guys will pardon me and forgive me for not updating, but i will also give you a very good reason to back up my actions and i believe at the end of the day you'll see reasons with me as well.

Before i break the good news to you, i have been busy with school and studying, as i am about to write Cambridge Advanced level Exams in november, and its been hectic, and that is why whenever i grab my laptop, i rather reasearch about some certain issues and subjects than go to blogspot. So i know by this time you shouldnt be angry with me anymore, but i promise to update more often these coming days.

Going by the two picture i have attached above, you should be guessing, well right you maybe right, but i have keep it away from you guys for a long time (not too long sha), so i just thought i should let you all know that the first photo above means that there has been alot of loving going on here, and the second one shows that she's really a complete African Beauty.

The good news is that i have fallen in-love, and this is final and genuine, so i hope that you guys all be happy for me, and in my subsequent posts i will highlight the event that brought about our meeting and how she's been treating me, and what gives me the impression that this is really what i want.

There is this thing in me that feels that this will last and there wot be lies, because we have been somehow open to ourselves and i feel she's the one, but anyway give me the honor to present to you my girl friend, and for now we will just call her "Wunmi"

I hope you guys have a lovely weekend, as i am having a fabulous one down here, though we just started seeing a little bit of summer down here, but all the same, we are not complaning.

+peace out+

CHELSEA 4 LIFE!.....its in the blood!

You know what guys? Im still happy and my smilling face hasn't disappeared....you guys might not know why i am saying all these, but the reason that my club Chelsea FC just lost the FA Community Shield Cup out to Man United, would have been enough reason to make me angry or send away the happy mood that has kept me going all these days, but that hasn't happened, instead i am still happy and keep going.

I am a Chelsea fan for real and like our slogan goes "...Its In The Blood" so that is the case here, i have been infected and this infection can not be treated and i'm lovin' it....i am a chelsea fan forever and nothing can make me change otherwise...so for you all 4kers out there thinking maybe ManU has the upper hand now...LOL i have nothing to say to y'all than to Lafffffff!!!!!!!!

Lets look at it this way, having met our closest rivals (ManU) 11 times since my manager (Jose) took over the club...we have won 6 times, draw 4 times and lost gallantly only once...and this being the 12th meeting, and loosing again....but dont forget...loosing GALLANTLY, because the game was decided by Penalties...so i guess ManU shouldnt count this as a win.

I am so glad at our players...(the best in the world), and our manager...also the best around...and not forgetting the big boss Abramovich...

I just decided to write this just after the match to tell the haters + red devils that BLUES is the team to watch and to watch out for the september clash in the Premier L.

I say to all my Chelsea Fans out there...... GO OUT AND HAVE FUN, BECAUSE OUR BOYS TRIED THIER BEST AND HE WHO HAS EYES KNOWS THE BEST TEAM OUT OF THE TWO.........

+peace out+

Enwerem, ex-Senate president, dies

A former President of the Senate, Chief Evan Enwerem, is dead.

His death was confirmed around 5.30pm on Thursday by the Director of Clinical Services, National Hospital, Abuja, Dr. Patience Ahmed.

“I can confirm to you that Enwerem was our patient and that he is dead. He died early this (Thursday) morning in the intensive care unit of the hospital,” Ahmed said.

When asked the cause of his death, she responded, “We are under oath not to disclose such information concerning our patients.”



A source in the hospital said that Enwerem was first admitted to the private wing of the hospital, but was transferred to the intensive care unit when his condition worsened.
A friend of the Enwerem family, who spoke with one of our correspondents from Owerri, Imo State, said the senator was brought to the hospital to stabilise his condition before he could be flown abroad for treatment.

Our correspondents gathered at the hospital that an air ambulance was already at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, for Enwerem’s flight abroad before he died.


“This information is highly confidential. Further information will have to come from his family.”
A former senator, who did not want his name in print, said, “I heard he passed on this (Thursday) morning. But his family members are abroad.

“For now, no one is here to issue a formal statement. I suggest you wait till tomorrow (today) when his wife is expected back.”


A close political associate of the politician, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Enwerem was believed to have died of an ailment that had to do with the central nervous system.

Another politician said that the former President of the Senate was admitted to the hospital about two weeks ago.


When contacted, the Chief Press Secretary to Imo State Governor, Mr. Steve Osuji, said he could not confirm the death. Osuji stated that the information he got from the family of the politician was that he was critically ill.

Another top source in the state Government House said that the government learnt that Enwerem was on oxygen machine.

When one of our correspondents visited the residence of Enwerem situated at off Okigwe Road, Owerri, nobody was available for comment.

When contacted, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, Senator Ayogu Eze, said, “I cannot comment on the issue yet. Please, bear with me.”


A former governor of Imo State, he was born in Attah, Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State in 1935 and elected President of the Senate in 1999.

He occupied the office for only six months before trouble came calling.


He was entangled in a controversy over his appropriate first name, since it became public that a certain Evans Enwerem had been convicted by a court of law a few months after Nigeria’s independence.

The former President of the Senate put up a spirited defence that the convicted Evans Enwerem was his late twin brother.

He said he was Evan Enwerem, but his colleagues found it difficult to believe his explanations.

Here are some of his Quotable Quotes

“In place of the active support that was required to make a success of the senate presidency, what I received was a flood of well-organised, adequately sponsored, and orchestrated attacks on my person and my integrity.”

At his first news conference on November 23, 1999 shortly after his removal as senate president.

“We owe it as a duty to our people and generations unborn that nothing goes wrong in Nigeria. We want to leave a good legacy to our people.”

At a meeting of Imo Leaders convened by former Transport Minister, Dr. Kema Chikwe on March 14, 2000

“In view of their positions and responsibilities, professionals have a responsibility to ensure that they don’t collaborate or collude with criminally minded people.”

When a former President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, Chief Adeboye Badejo, paid him a visit on October 21, 1999.

“I believe the word ‘Mature’ by which I am called is a complement rather than criticism. Some people identify me by that word because I have always been very careful and not too much in a hurry to take decisions. I calculate the various options before I take a decision.”

In an interview with a national daily on September 23, 1999.

“I want to assure everybody that it is all blackmail and falsehood, executed by some people against me. Somebody has just gone down and some other persons are looking for who next should fall.”

At a reception organised in his honour in Owerri, Imo State on July 31, 1999.

“I have been an unfortunate victim of unhealthy circumstances and I have to bear the cross with whatever is left of my dignity.”

His words while taking his seat as ordinary member of the Senate on November 23, 1999.

“I am convinced as millions of other Nigerians that General Abacha’s record stands him in best stead over and above those who have so far indicated interest in the presidential election.”

In an interview with a National Daily on April 6, 1998.

“I am not aware of any trial, you are informing me and you don’t cross a bridge until you get there. Until such a trial or impeachment proceedings begin, you cannot ask me my reaction towards it. That; (his possible impeachment) will not be the end of the world. I was not born a Senate President.”

At an interview with aviation correspondents.

“I have practised politics for more than three decades, I am not a quitter; I don’t quit. I never give up especially when I know that my cause is just. I just went there as a senator and at the fullness of time it was taken from me. I will pray and wait for the role which I can play in future.”

At a reception in Owerri shortly after his impeachment on November 27, 1999.

Happy B'Day to a Great Man

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A RARE GEM!

Hey people, what more can i say? the greatest African of all time, who has suffered for others to have freedom today in South Africa, i guess by this time you must have known who im talking about, but if you still dont know his name is: Nelson Mandela.

Today, 18th July 2007 marks his 89th year of existence in this world in which he spent 27 years of it at Robben Island Prison for no reason all because he was fighting the injustice/apethied period in South Africa, so in this case he was sentenced to life in proson, but regained freedom in 1990 and became the first ever Black President of South Africa.


Here's a quote from Madiba:



"I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. "

You know, this guy right here (Mandela), is among my mentors, because his struggles and success makes him a total package, you know when someone is struggling, and then triumphs at the end of the day, he's like a hero, because he has made something out of nothing, you know what i mean.

A Brief Biography:

Mandela's words, "The struggle is my life," are not to be taken lightly.

Nelson Mandela personifies struggle. He is still leading the fight against apartheid with extraordinary vigour and resilience after spending nearly three decades of his life behind bars. He has sacrificed his private life and his youth for his people, and remains South Africa's best known and loved hero.

Mandela has held numerous positions in the ANC: ANCYL secretary (1948); ANCYL president (1950); ANC Transvaal president (1952); deputy national president (1952) and ANC president (1991).

He was born at Qunu, near Umtata on 18 July 1918.

His father, Henry Mgadla Mandela, was chief councillor to Thembuland's acting paramount chief David Dalindyebo. When his father died, Mandela became the chief's ward and was groomed for the chieftainship.

Mandela matriculated at Healdtown Methodist Boarding School and then started a BA degree at Fort Hare. As an SRC member he participated in a student strike and was expelled, along with the late Oliver Tambo, in 1940. He completed his degree by correspondence from Johannesburg, did articles of clerkship and enrolled for an LLB at the University of the Witwatersrand.

In 1944 he helped found the ANC Youth League, whose Programme of Action was adopted by the ANC in 1949.

Mandela was elected national volunteer-in-chief of the 1952 Defiance Campaign. He travelled the country organising resistance to discriminatory legislation.

He was given a suspended sentence for his part in the campaign. Shortly afterwards a banning order confined him to Johannesburg for six months. During this period he formulated the "M Plan", in terms of which ANC branches were broken down into underground cells.

By 1952 Mandela and Tambo had opened the first black legal firm in the country, and Mandela was both Transvaal president of the ANC and deputy national president.

A petition by the Transvaal Law Society to strike Mandela off the roll of attorneys was refused by the Supreme Court.

In the 'fifties, after being forced through constant bannings to resign officially from the ANC, Mandela analysed the Bantustan policy as a political swindle. He predicted mass removals, political persecutions and police terror.

For the second half of the 'fifties, he was one of the accused in the Treason Trial. With Duma Nokwe, he conducted the defence.

When the ANC was banned after the Sharpeville massacre in 1960, he was detained until 1961 when he went underground to lead a campaign for a new national convention.

Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the military wing of the ANC, was born the same year. Under his leadership it launched a campaign of sabotage against government and economic installations.
In 1962 Mandela left the country for military training in Algeria and to arrange training for other MK members.

On his return he was arrested for leaving the country illegally and for incitement to strike. He conducted his own defence. He was convicted and jailed for five years in November 1962. While serving his sentence, he was charged, in the Rivonia trial, with sabotage and sentenced to life imprisonment.

A decade before being imprisoned, Mandela had spoken out against the introduction of Bantu Education, recommending that community activists "make every home, every shack or rickety structure a centre of learning".

Robben Island, where he was imprisoned, became a centre for learning, and Mandela was a central figure in the organised political education classes.

In prison Mandela never compromised his political principles and was always a source of strength for the other prisoners.

During the 'seventies he refused the offer of a remission of sentence if he recognised Transkei and settled there.

In the 'eighties he again rejected PW Botha's offer of freedom if he renounced violence.
