There must be a God
Remember my friend that I blogged about any weeks ago, who was looking for a job, well guys, he just landed himself a six figure sum. I am so happy for him. If anyone deserved it, it is definitely him. It is a reminder to me and everyone else that God is there, he listens and he is faithful. He fulfills his promise to us! I am seriously tapping into my friend's blessing and my wait and everyone else's wait is over.
Iyabo Obasanjo
I heard she was held in custody for 48hrs and then granted bail. How can you grant bail to someone that has refused to visit EFCC to answer corruption allegations against her? Wonders shall never end. A whole ex-president's daughter, a senator and yet she refused to visit EFCC to explain herself. Nigerians have absolutely no respect for the rule of the land, even when they are part of the law! Her father is still caught up in his past, with all the wasted money spent on power generation. e go better oh!
My hairdresser
I met a wonderful lady recently and it is very rarely that I meet Nigerian girl/lady that actually impress/challenge me. She is well known in the "upcoming Nigerian girls living in London circuit". She is an educated young lady, that has followed her calling of hairdressing. We had a good chat about almost everything and I was impressed by her breath of knowledge and interest. She is into theatre, reads loads of books, knows her politics - UK and the world etc. She even attends a book club! What can I say about this lady, she is very rare!... I don't really want to mention her name, 'cos I would rather not let this go back to her.
Facebook
What is it with people that use facebook to show off? My "friend" and I are always laughing at people that use facebook to "keep up with the Jones". Why would you really want to tell the world where and what you are doing? I don't get it at all. Do you really want 500friends, including the whole world know that you are in China right now and you are on your way to France the next day? I thought status update is really for quirky and fun updates. What is it about the pictures and everyone's comments? For the people keep tagging me in ugly pictures, PLEASE STOP( I am still trying to figure out how to untag myself from other people's pictures). People leave comments on pictures that are clearly not flattering!!!!!!!!! One of my school mates, had a picture of his wife, in the labour room, with her belly exposed.. all the stretch marks. God, how unflattering, I thought these are personal pictures that should not be for the whole world to see? Enough of the ranting, people stop putting your lives on facebook. It is very silly!!!!!!!
Obama and Clinton
Obama is on his way to victory and make history. Go Obama, go Obama... Many people say Clinton should step down and let Obama go on. I say let her continue to fight on. She is also part of this history, the first woman to attempt to make it to the white house and really if she stepped down, people will always say that Obama won off the back of a woman that stepped down.
I am reading Barrack Obama's book: The Audacity of Hope. Also reading " Rich dad, Poor dad. I will keep you updated about what I think about Obama.
Politics and me
I am thinking of joining the conservative party, at a local/grassroot level. People say I am too blunt and will not do well as a politician. I am going to test myself in the next 3weeks, when I will be attending a conference (sustainable power generation in Nigeria) with Nigerian politicians. I will see if I can hold my tongue, when I am seated at a table to Bankole ( house of rep) or the minister of Power. I will keep you all posted.

hi,
i really do echo ur facebook rant jare.....im so bored of it now...
u can so monitor ppl's live through facebook which is just ridiculous....neway,hw r u?
that is so true about the facebook thing....i never take myself seriously on it anyways..even though i was addicted, ive certainly gotten over it.
nice blog
How now! Ok, where to begin?
Congrats to your friend! And Amen to claiming his blessings, yours will continue to flow too!
As for Fbook, I share your confusion/disdain for the need to flaunt one's life/relationships on fbook. I'm all for sharing adventures with friends, and i guess it just depends on how much a private person you are. Some people love to tell the world on facebook or wedding websites, the intricate details of how they met their soul mates, others don't. To each his own, just don't tag recklessly!! abi?
OOh, pls give me details of the conference, as I should be in the UK then and would love to attend, maybe we can meet!!
Obama/Clinton...pls don't get me started.
Alright, i'm done! Hope you're doing well. Happy Democracy Day!
Surely there is God and He is sure faithful.
Well, if someone has no depth (or substance) and (personal) dignity we can't force it on them. Unfortuantely, they believe putting themselves in the public court (for sympathy, i daresay) is the best way out of a messy situation.
The beauty about an education is that with it.......one can make whatever field of endeavour one chooses to feel like the best (short of which, won't it?).
I guess that probably have to do with either self-esteem or maturity.
You right you know "...people will always say that Obama won off the back of a woman that stepped down." at least we can now (confidently) say, Barack Obama won. Hope America is ready for change (a black president)?
Hmmmm,......politics & diplomacy seem to be intertwined. One need not compromise one's ideals...just to be diplomatic in passing the message across. We sure need people that are (diplomatically) blunt in politics. The job(s) sure needs to get done.
