World Cup Qualifier - Thank God Nigeria will not qualify

Trust Nigerians, they dont joke with football at all, and I can imagine the bashing I will get from this. For instance, they have resorted to their old song of how only God can help us qualify. When will Nigerians learn to accept responsibility? God is sick and tired of us. I mean we have all the time in this world to seal the ticket here in Abuja, and God seems to answer only my own prayer that we should not win.
Thank God we didnt win, I will continue to pray that we do not qualify for South Africa. All is not well with this country, and I dont want football to hide our problem, moreso when our football itself is not in good order. Until Nigeria learn to do things right, we will continue to struggle, enough of all this fire brigade approach to all facets of our life.
Yeah, that is the point, our youth are all at home, because their lecturers are on strike, those who can afford it have withdrawn their children from the striking schools to private own university, whereas it is the same sets of people who make the public university go on strike that now own the private university. We deceived ourselves in this country a lot, tell me how can a private university survive, if there is no problem with the public university? Now, we all want our super eagles to qualify, we dont need any football to hide our sorrow, let not the football be our consoling factors everytime. For us to qualify, is to make it look like everything is well in this country. to qualify is to let the NFA add that to their achievement, as if all is well with our football, to qualify is to let the government of the day believed that we are doing things right. God, Please dont let us qualify for the world cup for the second time in a row.

Take it from the players point of view. We all know what will happen to them if while playing for this country, something happen to them. But because, the country is not in a good state, they can never give in their best, whereas, when it come to their club assignment, they put in everything. So what is the cause of that? because so many things is wrong with this country. A clear case is that of Samuel Okwaraji, and of course until recently, and i dont know if it is true, Nigeria just redeemed her pledge to the players who won African cup of nations which nigeria won last in 1980 - can you beat that? Ponder over that!!!

Agony of lack of power in Nigeria

Ever ponder when the power supply problem in Nigeria will end?  Perhaps it is not going to be in this generation.  It is getting worse and worse.  At my estate, we don’t even expect power anymore.  We all depend on burning fuel on our generators. 

To keep your generators running, if you are the type like me who always stays indoor and prefer to have power constantly, then be prepare to budget a large amount of your hard earned money on acquisition of fuel.  To get the fuel in filing station is another problem, you need to pray it is not a period where there is scarcity of fuel, less you are in for another problem.  If there is no fuel scarcity, then you have little problem acquiring fuel for your gen sets, but if there is, then you will be required to bring your gen set to filing stations before they can sell to you.  If you prefer to buy in jerry cans, then be ready to part with extra cash to the fuel attendants.

A case of mine in question, I have 4 generators.  You will ponder how I am managing fueling all the four, and having them serviced. I tell you it is not that easy.  However, the secrets behind them is that, 3 of them consume less fuel, because they are small power generators, while I have one big one that have capacity to  carry all the loads.  Here is the idea, I will put on the small ones in daylight just to power the fan and the TVs, and put on the Big one at night to cater for all the bulbs and put the fridge and freezers on.  When it get to 12 midnight, I will put it off, and put on the small ones again to power the fans and other security lights till morning.

Ever ponder when this wahala will end? The whole thing looks a mirage to me. God save this country from the small few that are taking us to ransom.

On a final note, ever pause to ponder that, the present Head of Nigerian Communications Commission may as well be drafted to the power sector, who knows, he may revolutionise the industry too just as he did with Communication sector. Just pondering…..

It is only in Nigeria

Hmmmm, that should sum up my mood today. It is only in this Country call Nigeria that wonders can be happening.
I read it in Daily Vanguard the other day, that Police in Kwara State, Nigeria arrested a goat for Armed Robbery. The Police have concrete evidence, that the Goat actually took part in a bid to disposses someone of his Mazda Car. It is only in Nigeria that such thing can happen. I wonder what a LAPD would thing about such an incidence.
It is only in NIgeria that you will work diligently to move Nigeria forward, you are the toast of the masses when you are in charge of your duty, but, because some people are not ready for your revolutionary approach to move Nigeria forward, they use every available means in their disposal to rubbish your hardwork. Mallam El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu are good example, Engr. Ndukwe of NCC is also getting in the saddle right as at the time of writing this.
It is only in Nigeria that the Government will anounce a reduction in price of Petrol from 70 to 65 Naira and the marketers will refuse to adjust their pump price. But when Government threaten to enforce the new price, you discovered that there is scarcity of fuel all over the place. It is also in Nigeria that you will witness such a situation whereby the marketer will be reluctant to adjust their pump price any time there is a reduction in price, but are quick to adjust their pump price any time there is increase in pump price.
But wait, is it only in Nigeria? Just ponder along with me!!!

Just Pondering.....

Quite some time abi? Dont mind me, I am so engulfed with the sister blog and hardly have time to ponder over things happening around me.
Let me see if I can pause to ponder on past events. The first is the Obama as the president elect. I fo rone is not excited with him being a black man. I want a real black man in the mode of th eblack of Chris Rock, Beenie Man, I mean real black not half black or half white. But since half bread is better than none, I guess we will all have him as a black man.
As for the victory of Adams Oshiomhole, has anyone pause to ponder when how long it will take before we started hearing impeachment song? This is to be expected because his party does not enjoy majority in the state house of assembly.
How about the missing satellite in the space? I wonder and ponder how come the unthinkable always happen in Nigeria. It has come to further prove that nothing works in Nigeria. Had it not been the Satellite was located in the space, one would have been tempted to suggest it was tampered with by Nigerians or sabotaged by the other operator of satellite companies just to continue to enjoy the monopoly. By the way, how come none of the DTH in Nigeria has signify interest in the Nigcomsat even ebfore its dissappearance in the space. Or better still, may be they use Otmopo, Ogun, or Juju to destroy it right here in Nigeria. You dont want to believe me, have I not said it earlier on that nothing is impossible in Nigeria?

And how about the sack of FCT Minister? - I loved it, it is a good riddance for bad rubbish. Has anyone ever ponder again what legacy the man left behind during his tenure? None, other than the fact that he was all over El-Rufai his predecessor. Instead of him to embark on his own tenure with laudable programme to improve on that of his predecessor, he went ahead on vendetta which earn him his sack. He will be remember for his introduction of new traffic light that shows seconds of waiting time during traffic (awarded to his own company I bet), and of course the worse traffic jams Abuja has ever witnessed.

Enough for today, I guess am back to update this blog from time to time. Cheers.

Ever Ponder what today is?

BBA 3 - Morris and Takondwa Cheats

Morris Saved Takondwa in what can be seen as a bizarre decision in the history of BBA This is because Morris had earlier on nominated Takondwa. And when the nomination was announce, and as the head of the house, he use his powwer to free Takondwa whom he had earlirer on nominated. As if that is not enough, he still went ahead to cheat by revealing his decision to Takondwa contrary to Big Brother rules as could be seen from this video.

Who will fights against Corruption in Nigeria

Ever ponder why those who fight against corruptions in the past administration are in the bad book of the present administration? While those who sit on the fence about corruption had nothing to worry about? It simply means, Nigeria is not ready for war against corruption. If there is anyone out there who still doubt what will happen to those who fight corruption and good governance after they have left office, then the case of recent travails of Mallam El-Rufai and Mallam Nuhu Ribadu should be a yardstick on what is coming for them.
Whilst I dont need to go into full details of their travails as we are all aware of that, truth remains that those two were singled out for vendetta. El-Rufai was as at the time of writing this, being barred from holding public office again, while Ribadu was removed unceremoniously and subsequently demoted for daring to step on their "toes".
To further prove my point, Dr Charles Soludo is beginning to feel the power of those politicians too in his seat as the CBN Governors. It is just a matter of time before he also pay the price of having to deal with those "politicians" by withdrawing the licence of the banks of some of them. thereby stepping on "powerful toes". The heat is on.
Has anyone ponder why NAFDAC Director Chief Akunyili was not even a subject of their war of Vendetta, I guess because her own area of war she engaged in wasnt an area where politicians ventured into, or else, she herself must be feeling the heat by now.
I guess I may have to come up later with various ways of how to fight against corruption in Nigeria, now that we know what the "Politicians" will do to those who step on their "toes".

Mexican Telenovela Second Chance and AIT Television

Apart from incessant break in transmission of this programme during UEFA Champions League matches, AIT for no given reasons had decided to start repeating past episodes of the telenovela. The worst thing about the whole thing is that, they hardly make any excuses, let alone offer any apology to the viewers.
This attitude of AIT is now unbecoming of an electronic media one was beginning to think will lead the revolution of representing the true image of Nigeria in International media community. This singular act by AIT, if they dont realise it, usually spoils a day for some family who from experience must make the 9.00pm time to catch the Soap. You can imagine the disappointment one usually gets on such occasions, especially when you had to sacrifice so many things to meet the time of the Soap transmission.
Now that AIT is now on Nigerian Stock Exchange as a public quoted company, they should at least be more public oriented in their TV programmes, such an unwarranted repetitions of episodes of Soap without due apology or due notice does not befit such a progressive media house like AIT. Chief Aleogho Dokpesi should do something. Haba!

When you have to beg for Money

Have you ever been in a tight corner and you have to resort to begging for money? I dont mean, asking for money from those you know like friends and all, I mean real begging from someone you have not met before.
It happened to me last night, and I cant but ponder over it, whether I was the first to do such things, most especially when the amount involved was a paltry sum, and I mean a paltry sum.
Before you blow the trumpet and take the news to a Radio or a TV stations, let me quickly add that, I did it for my soon to be 3 years old son.
The scenario perhaps was the second, and the amount involved is always a paltry sum of 50. The first was 50k and I mean fifty kobo, while that of yesterday was just 50 Naira. The first was way back in the early 90s when I was stranded along the road, even though I have money in the office, but I do not have on me, so I ask a passer-by to assist me with the sum for transportation.
That of yesterday happened when I need to buy a toy gun for my son in a supermarket. Did I hear you say, I should have abandoned the purchase of the ordinary toy gun? Well, I cant because of the event of the previous day. We (myself, my wife and our son) go for shopping, he insisted he wanted a toy gun, but I have other idea of not wanting him to be playing with gun at his age. I thought he bought my objection, but by the time we enter the car back home, he registered his protest so much that, he kept on crying and angry at my seeming indifference to his plight. It took a lots of cajoling after about over an hour to calm him down. His eyes is red shot with his registered protest of cries. So I made a promise to buy him one the second day.
I don t have enough money on my wallet to buy the exact type he wanted, I am short of 50 naira only. So I ask a fine gentleman for a raise, telling him I just have to get home with the toy in my hand. He understands instantly, I guess he has them at home too.
So, Ever ponder for once when you have to resort to begging?
