Tell Jim to hold my Legs

Kids sure do have a way of doing funny things as they grow up. My two and half year old son is simply cracking me up with his recent attitudes to taking drugs. Ever since infancy, he hates taking drugs, whether sweet or bitter. At a point, to make him see that drugs are sometimes so sweet, i happen to ask him to come and take his drugs, but ended up giving him honey, you wont believe it that he still ran away, despite the fact that i forced the honey into his mouth, his attitude shows that they are not sweet as he continue to throw out the remnant in his mouth. His dislike for taking drugs is simply alarming. His favourite however, is Bonababe while he was infants and recently; paracetamol tablets when dissolve in water.
That is not the real gist, that is just a preamble, the real issue that prompted the above topic was that, of recent, he was taken ill seriously, and there is the need that he just had to take his drugs, so we always have problem forcing him to take the drugs. One day, I told his mum that, there used to be a way kids of his age are forced to take drugs during our time. If you are yoruba, you will know what the term "Idagbale" means. Of course, it is away of forcing a kid to take liquids either food, herbs or syrups by laying him down across the lap, with the both hand tuck away, and someone holding his leg, you now have chance to put the liquids in your palm so that at the end he will have no option other than to swallow. Much as I hate this, we dont have alternative, because his ailments defy taking injections.
So on this occasion, it has now become ritual that we just have to force him to take those drugs in those ways. Kids. As time goes on, he is so accustomed to taking his drugs that way, that he himself will even request that he want to take his drugs. but when you encourage him to take it normally, he will refuse, but insist that he want to take his drugs. His Uncle staying with us, Jim, is always the one holding his legs. The funny aspect of it is that, the moment he indicate intention that he wants to take his drugs, he will follow the statement with, Mummy tell Jim to come and hold my leg, Where Uncle Jim is not around, he wont allow any other person to hold his leg, and so, he will not take his drugs. As if he is enjoying the way he is being forced to take the drug, he will then proceed to lie down across his mother's lap, and as soon as Jim hold his leg, he will start crying until he finish taking the drugs. After taking the drugs through this hard way, he will now come to me and report Jim to me, that he hold his leg. Kids!!! Arent they funny? Ever pause to ponder?

The Pretenders (1)

Apart from corruption which has eaten deep into conscience of Naijas, Pretending is another vices well noticed by this blogger but hardly noticed by most Nigerians.
From the top, I can count the number of pretenders on the part of our leaders who pretended not to want the coveted seat of leadership as President, whereas they are scheming underground to realise their ambitions. The irony however, is that it is always those who pretends not to crave for it that ended up getting the job. Of recent example, while the Odilis and co. were busy touring the country lobbying for the mission to succeed the OBJ, the present President hardly consults wide enough, and he ended up getting the job. Same story with the past President.
Now to the issue of nudity, sex and pornography, Naija people are known for their pretences that such should be discouraged. They achieved this pretences by making it loud and clear that no obscenity should appear on our local TV stations. That probably give room for inquisitiveness, as a lot of people are known to imbibe the habit of watching the pornography movies. A visit to those selling pirated CDs and DVDs will butress this point. A recent interactions with a vendor of this pirated CDs and DVDs revealed that the pornography CDs and DVDs sell like hot cakes. Now what would have happen to their market if such obscenity is permitted on local TVs?.
In the last Big Brother Africa, if Mnet were to release the figure of Nigeria women that seek to participate in the event, I am sure the figure will be alarming, despite the fact that they known there is going to be shower hour on the reality show which will make them revealed their nakedness. One would also be amazed to known the number of parents who does not care whether their daughter participated in such an event.
Having said this however, this blogger continue to ponder why we pretends that all is well, while in actual fact, we all know it is a mere pretences. As long corruption can never be nip in the bud, pornography too can never be nip in the bud. Government probably know they cant control the racketeering surrounding pornography, no wonder the only fight they can muster is to pretend to us all that Nigerian prefer not to publicise owning to love watching pornography.
Visit any of Nigerian forum and you will be amazed with the rate at which Nigerian pretends in their views and opinions. When an issue that is very common in our daily life crop up for discussion, Nigerians are quick to condemn such acts while in actual facts, that is exact replica of what is happening in their lives. I guess Pretending is entrenched on our psyche right here in Africa.
Look, I gotta go, I must however confess that, if anyone read this piece and hiss or believed it is another figment of my imagination as regard the points raised, I guess the bug of pretending also reign supreme in your life. How sad!!!

Big Brother Africa II - Where Immoral triumphs over Moral

The Big Brother Africa II reality show ended yesterday, and as was expected and unexpected, the Tanzania candidate, Richard won by a slight margin. He beat the Nigerian contestant Ofunneka to the 100,000 dollars prize.
The outcome of the results clearly shows that Immorality triumphs over Morality. Richard it was, that is very popular with the reality show for his glaring immoral and uncare attitude while the shows lasted. His love escapdes with the Angolan contestant Tatiana is well known to the followership of the reality show. One would have thought that, following the patterns of voting from the beginning of the show, where those who throw immoral to the wind ended up being evicted, Ofunneka who is more decent and represent a true African Women with her disposition, character and conduct, should have won the prize, but, it was Richard, who epitomises all the names calling that has the face of immorality that won the prize.
My candid opinion however is that, it wasn't Richard character or his popularity that earn him the prize, but his supporters did the outside job for him. This is possible because of the voting patterns adopted by the Big Brother. All participating country represent one vote each, while the rest of Africa represent one vote. In all, there is a total number of 13 votes, since there are 12 countries participating. A look at the voting pattern of the grand finale clearly shows that the southern African countries voted in favour of Richard, and I hasten to add that, it wasnt because of his popularity, but because of the background work of Richard's supporters. His supporters resides in countries in the Southern Africa i.e Tanzania, it is easier for them to garner supports for him by travelling to the participaing southern african countries, buy phone credit, and vote massively for Richard in each of the countries.
As far as I am concerned, if the rest of Africa were unbundled, to represent various number of votes, Ofunneka would have beaten him to it. To buttress my point, if Richard indeed won because he "entertained" us with his immoral performances as his supporters would want us to believed, how come his co-adjutor in the immoral acts i.e Tatiana ended up with only one vote from her own country, Angola. The fact that Ofunneka captured the "rest of Africa" vote means that, she won the heart of African people who truly appreciates moral values.
From the outcome of the grand finale, it clearly shows that there is no any single lesson from this Big Brother Africa, It means it promotes immoral values, encourages and rubber stamped adultery as seen with the way Richard who suppose to exhibit great caution being a married man, throw caution to the wind and had sex during his sojourn in the house. The only losers amongst them is the Angola contestants, who was seemingly used by Richard and ended up with only one vote and of course may lose Richard to his wife, and probably lose (Gustavo) her boyfriend too. To those who believed the lady in this picture is Ricki, Richard's wife, she is not, she is Linda, Richard's sister.
There is also Richard wife's antecedents while the show lasted. At a time she open a blog in the name of her husband where she updates Richard fans. But as soon as Richard started having immoral acts with one of the housemates, she withdrew from the blog, but later issue a statement towards the end telling whoever care to listen that she intend to open up as at when due to the media. Now that Richard is a rich man, and Tatiana has confirmed to the whole world that she and Richard will hook up and continue if their both lovers abandoned them, the BBA II continues. This blog will keep you posted.
I hasten to add however, that this blogger and his entire household do solemnly declare henceforth not to watch or participate in the programme again.
Those who were greatly dissappointed with the outcome of the grand finale are beginning to wonder whether Ofunneka would go ahead and sue the organiser of the reality show for the ugly incident that involved her and the eventual winner Richard during the show. Ofunneka sure did her best, and it should rest on the conscience of those who know what true moral values are to mourn her loss of the prize money. Truth is, she did earn a much more coveted prize than the 100,000 dollars - a true African Woman whose moral values will be well respected and cherished by all African, as seen with the way the rest of Africa voted for her.

BBA II - Would Ofunneka follow the footsteps of Cherise?

After 98 days of intense maneuvering and backbiting among housemates, the curtain finally falls this weekend on the M-Net Big Brother 2 Television Reality show. Without a doubt, the big question on the lips of every BBA fan in the continent is, who among the trio of Nigeria’s Ofunneka, Angola’s Tatiana and Tanzania’s Richard, will clinch the coveted $100,000 or N12.6 million on offer this Sunday?
I am not good at predictions, but sometimes, I do predict silently to myself which most times come into pass. I remember, I had supported Katung during the BBN, and he won gallantly. As for this BBA 2, my support is with Ofunneka, the Nigeria contestant in the house. Each day I think about how the voting will look like, I ended up finding it difficult to believe that she wont win. All the aces are on her side. But if recent text messages by Richard fans which are being shown on the screen, is anything to go by, I am beginning to have jitters. However, the contest is certainly between Ofunneka and Richard. I have to say it with all sense of modesty however, that I believe that Ofunneka will win and join the Cherise the winner of BBA first edition. If Ofunneka wins, it will be the second time in the running that female would win the Big Brother Africa.
Most of the evicted housemates has come out to say that Ofunneka would win, One of them even said it recently that she is the only housemates who had stick to her game plan since the beginning of the show.
What is more, something keeps telling me that Ofunneka would win comes this Sunday. Best of luck Ofune-Mama.

A Governor by Supreme Court not by the People

I blog about the sacking of Governor Omeiha in my blog yesterday in a hurry and quickly wondered aloud how it is possible to install Amaechi as the Governor without contesting an election.
This makes him the first Governor in Nigeria who did not stand before the electorates before becoming a Governor. I still find it very hard to believe that someone who did not stand for an election, did not campaign for an election, present a manifesto for an election, did not even tell the people his programme of action if elected is now a Governor - What a judgment!
Perhaps, it is only in Nigeria that we now have a Governor who was not duly elected by the electorates. By the way, I hail from Kwara State, Nigeria and I have no support for either Celestine Omeiha or Rotimi Amaechi.

What is more, the man that was now installed as Governor has been expelled from PDP along with Ararume in the wake of 2007 Governorship election. The Supreme Court is even silent on whether he should be re-instated into PDP or not. Now that he is not a member of PDP, on which manifesto platform would he based his government administration?

The matter of his deputy is also there. Who is going to be his deputy? the incumbent deputy or he will be choosing his own deputy. How about the control of the state assembly? For how long will he be in the stewardship as Governor before the PDP controlled State Assembly impeach him.

Whatever the travails of Amaechi regime as the Supreme Court installed Governor, I suggest he should not be pity, such is what is applicable to those that use the back door to be Governor without being elected by the electorates who in the first instance has the right to elect a Governor to rule over them.

With this judgment, a precedent is set again in Nigeria. Once there is a problem during the party primaries, an aggrieved contestant can win an election without facing the electorates if he/she goes to court. This will greatly be capitalized upon by the ruling party, once it is sure that the candidates it was trying to field would not win an election if he/she is made to face the electorates, they can simply cook up some hankypanky similar to that of Rotimi Amaechi and thereafter seek legal redress citing the Sujpreme court judgment that single handedly handed the Governorship to Amaechi. I hasten to state it once again that from my own layman point of view, this judgment is flaw with error.

S'Court sacks Omehia, okays Amaechi as Rivers gov

The Supreme Court on Thursday removed from office Mr. Celestine Omehia as governor of Rivers State. In his stead, the court's seven Justices that sat over the suit unanimously ruled that the former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, should be sworn-in immediately as the governor of the state. The judgement was read by Justice Katsina-Alu Amaechi, who won the state governorship primaries of the Peoples Demoratic Party (PDP) last December but was later substituted with Omehia by the ruling party, had gone to both the Federal High Court annd Court of Appeal but failed in both bids to restore his mandate. Amaechi again headed for the Supreme Court to appeal the verdict of the appellant court.

Now from a layman point of view, isnt this judgement by supreme court full of flaw? For God's sake the people of Rivers State voted for a candidate in Omehia and not PDP, so I dont see why Amaechi should be the Governor without contesting an election. Methinks, a re-election should have been ordered. Pause and ponder over this!!!

Still on Big Brother Africa II

I just need to say this that most Africans are pretenders when it come to the matter of morality. Take the case of Big Brother Africa II for instance, they are the one to quickly condemn the shower hour and also the first to watch it with a great attention.
Mnet is at liberty to show the content of Big Brother Africa as long as the content does not violates the age restrictions. The TV station put the age restrictions on the screen and this shows that certain category of people should be restricted. TV is meant to entertain and relax from a hard day's job, and it goes to show that what is a one man's meat is another man's poison. What some people are quick to condemn is another person's fantasy.
Truth is, if the content of Big Brother Africa II is too much to bear for those who are complaining, let them just switch to other channels or better still block the channel. Enough of shifting blame to other places for what we ourselves have absolute control over.

The birth of a Nigerian Nollywood Photo blog

For a long time, I had nurse the idea of starting a photo blog, the idea give birth to Nigeria nollywood photo blog. The reason behind it was that, it took a long search on the net most of the times to get at least some reasonable pictures of Nigerian actors or actresses. This does not go down well with me. So I thought if I started the Nollywood photo blog, pictures of nigerian nollywood actors and actresses will be more celebrated as would be display by this blogger.
Interested bloggers should take a trip to this blog and chip in suggestions as to how to make it more better than it is now. I am still experimenting and researching into how it will be better than it is now, your constructive criticism is highly welcome.

Welcome to Nigerian Nollywood Photo blog.

She wont resign? - So What?

So what if Madam Speaker does not want to resign? To me, I want to believe that the whole saga is being politicised, and definitely not on the fact of fighting "due Process" as our Lawmakers want us to believe. Truth is what was the precedence before she became speaker? I am quite sure if the probe covered the past speakers of the house, we will discovered that due process wasnt follow during their terms. Why was her own different? Was it because she is a woman, no wonder there was no a single woman in the panel that probe the scandal? or perhaps because she step on some toes who are hell bent in keeping certain key Chairman of certain committees as their birthright? Was it because she has the rubber stamp of the former President? or better still because some adversaries want to take her position by all means.
Whilst I am not saying this in her support, I however hold the firm belief that those Politicians are all the same. There is no gainsaying in it that the next successor will follow due process. It is when those lawmakers want to deal with any of their colleagues who seems not to dance to their tunes or follow the lay down "systems where rub my back I rub yours persist" that they invoke some nice tune like ("due process") that the public will want to hear to crucify each other. They are all the same. I hasten to add however that all their in-fighting was not because of we the electorates they represents, but because of their pockets no wonder they can descend so low as to box shamefully at the House while their children are watching the show of shame. I beg let us hear words. If she said she wont resign, who cares! One thing is quite clear, her resignation can never set things right as long as her successor continue to sing the tune they want to hear and not the tune the electorates wants. To hell with their lots.

The Mandara Margi: A Society Living on the Verge

The above topic was first inspired by Jeremy's blog. But while I was going through the web site, I came across the Ethnographer's note. What catches my attention was the above picture which appear at the bottom of this page. Read the preceding paragraph and, like the writer do say - "Think about it"

Was that fighting for our sake?

I was so much consumed with work that I hardly find time to comment on last week show of shame at the House of Representatives. The question that keep ringing in my mind since then was whether those boxing, those shouting, those temper flaring and of course those show of same were all for our sake. I mean we the masses are the one those legislators claimed they represent at the House, therefore, was all those fighting for our sake? Are they doing that to defend our interest?
The answer of course is a capital NO. They are doing that to defend their own selfish interest and I made bold to say that they are defending their pocket as well as fighting for the money they have collected.
Like I had commented earlier on this blog, what Madam Speaker did was not a new thing, it has always been the case at the House, I wonder why there was so much noise on this particular Speaker probably because she is a woman. Of course, I need to bring gender into it since the whole house did not deem it fit to include a woman on the panel investigating the whole saga. I think the whole fighting and noise making was the fall out of the appointment of the House Committees Chairman and other juicy positions. Some people are hell bent that the Speaker must go, to pave way for their parochial interest.
Mind you, I am not saying I support the Speaker, what I am saying is that they are all the same, it will still be the same story, should another person come on board.
Enough of those show of shame, we the masses are not impressed one bit other than that they are showing their real self to us - Thieves!
So, pause and ponder along with me whether those fighting are being embark on by our Legislators to protect the interest of electorates. I dont think so.

NFA/NFL Crisis

Even FIFA the highest ruling body of the game had not laid an example of banning its official for 3 years despite the offences as serious as mismanaging money. But, here in Nigeria, anything is possible. For merely fighting to save our league and pivoting it to a better standard and refusing to allow the laid down foundation to be jeopardised, the NFL Chairman Obaseki and its deputies got suspended for 3 and 2 years respectively.
Nigerian football is in for another problem this year. Despite the fact that, it was planned to start our own league to run parri-passu with that of eruope, the league has not yet start up till now due to NFA/NFL Crisis. The bone of contention this time around is appointment of referees for league matches even though everyone knows it wasnt that but globacom money to run the league. The truth of that however came out when the seeming bone of contention i.e appointment of referees for matches was settled when the NFL agreed that it was NFA who could appoint referees. The imbroglio continued with the NFL chairman getting suspended along with his deputies.
Now, our football is in problem and the league might take a while before it commences unless the Senate successfully waded into the matter and resolved it amicably. What is more, the Club Owners Association had take a stand that it will not ordered its clubs to participate in the league scheduled to take off this weekend if the NFL officials suspended are not re-instated. What an Impasse!
When will our football be run by the professionals and not by politicians? When would NFA be run like the real NFA and not like a Federal Ministry or Parastatals? When would NFA be more responsible and avoided ugly incidences like unpaid bonus to Super Eagles, Super Falcon and of course glaring neglect of the Golden Eaglet before their triumph at the U-17 African Nation Cup as well as their shot at the real thing - U-17 FIFA World Cup which they won, but which NFA has been going about with the accolades as if they were the true brain behind the achievement.

See My Daddy's Car

My Son is 2 years old and you can never guess what his daddy's car look like, but the truth is he can recognise the make of the car at any slightest sight of it. He is now accustomed to the phrase "See my daddy's car" each time he sighted the make of the car irrespective of colour or model. Nobody seems to know how he was able to photographed the make of that car in his brain. On a long journey that involves him of recent, he actually make the journey less stressful because each time he sighted the make of his daddy's car, he will draw our attention to it. If you are lock in a deep conversation and you seems not to listen to his 'phrase' he continue to shout your name until you discard such conversation and reply with another phrase he is accustomed to i.e 'yeah, See this boy daddy's car'. Kids!!!

What about the Silver Eaglets?

When the Ugbade led Eaglet won the maiden edition of the U-16 world youth Tournament in china in 1985, all the sets of the recently crowned Golden eaglet were yet to be born, neither were they when the next eaglet failed to lift the trophy again in Canada 2 years later. How time flies.
While we are quick to remember the three occasions where we triumphed in the competition, it is a pity how we are quick to forget to celebrate the period when we came close to winning the trophy i.e Canada in 1987 and Trinidad & Tobago in 2001. So I said what about the Silver Eaglets? Those of us who still cares, does these names still rings a bell as regards those who took Silver in Canada 87 even though they lost on penalties, or these names that clinch Silver in 2001?

I am back

3 weeks now I have left this blog unattended. I explained the reasons when I took the leave of absence. My 3 weeks absence open my eyes as for the first time in my life I travel all the way from Abuja to Ilorin all by myself and alone in the vehicle, and indeed a smooth journey. My journey also took me to Lagos where also for the first time in my life, I saw how the Area Boys do their things. I witness the way and manners they collect toll from the danfo drivers as if they are the one they are working to take care of, I however do not pity my danfo driver I boarded because he tried to take a fast one on us (Me and my friend who is my guide). In all, he had to settled about 11 different groups of area boys on our way to Oshodi bridge from Ojota. Lagos will always be Lagos, probably the only city in Nigeria that bear a native name and English name - Eko and Lagos.
While away, I also visited Ilorin town in Kwara State. It is still its old self, with the idea of blocking the road just to hold festivities. I had trouble making my way around. But I must confess that the town is very neat and tidy, the Governor is doing an excellent job on this part.
Now, while I was away, I wasnt current with much of the news around, but I heard of the suspension put on denomination of the Naira. Some even argue that, the government had to veto its suspension because of some powerful people it will be affected, other even argue that its suspension is political in nature because at the end of the day when the action become successful, the CBN Governor will be more powerful than the President himself. Can you believe that, what an arrant nonsense.
I cannot but also comment on the Madam Speaker's 'Contract Gate'. I wonder what the fuse is all about, all the present crop of legislators needs to do is to check on the precedents before the advent of this new speaker what has been the practice. I am quite sure she follows the footsteps of her precedecessors in office. Perhaps there is so much dust on this one because she is a MADAM Speaker. It is the systems that is bad, not the Madam speaker herself.
During my leave of absence, I also happen to get in touch with Joan Agabi - remember her? Well, let me reminded you of her, she is one of the housemates of the famous Big Brother Nigeria. I had some interesting vital statistics on her which I will publish in due course.
Now that I am back, I guess I am back with a bang!

I am out for a while

Starting today, posting to my blog may remain stagnant as I intend to travel away from my base. If however I have access to internet, I shall surely update the blog. I will be proceeding on a one week course sponsored by my employer and will proceed on another 2 weeks leave thereafter. I am in for a long absence if things go on as planned.
Also, for the first time, I intend to undertake a journey by driving myself, one actually needs such adventure in life. You need to see the way I am preparing, it is as if I am going out of the country. Please wish me safe journey. Peace out!!!!!!!

More Questions about the CBN New Naira Reforms

The Central Bank of Nigeria announced major currency reforms whereby the naira is being transformed by dropping two zeros or moving two decimal points to the left which is also aimed at reducing the quantum of money in circulation and preserve the value of the naira. Under the new reforms, 100 naira now becomes one naira. See full story

Now that is a preamble, the real thing is what happens if the regime take effect from August next year? There had been some opinions on what the regime will look like and there had been some insight into it as could be seen from this article in the Thisday

Now having said all this, there are still many questions, some rhetorical in nature since we both know what will happen, but I tell you, there are some that can best be answered when the regime actually take effect. But first, the matters arising.

No doubt, there would be a lot of coin carriage as against the present regime where we deal so much in paper money. Most of the daily transactions of buying and selling will be done through coins. There wont be ignoring of coins change as every coins is very important now.

Vending machine will spring up all over Nigeria, mostly those selling soft drinks. Phone booth will spring up also that will require coin slot while Kalo Kalo machine will continue to reign.

Beggars will have a field day since there will be large amount of coins in circulation, this may promote street begging.

Customers would be more interested in their bank balances to the kobo since Coins would be so much involved in daily transactions of buying and sellings.

Prices of commodity would also be affected as some items that price ceilings could not be fixed minimally before would have different coins denominations to rest on. For instance, a sachet of Pure Water cannot jump from 5k to 10k, it could rise from 5k to 6k as against the present regime where it rose from 5 naira to 10 naira.

What will happen to the Phone tarrif in Nigeria? In the present regime it is 50 - 60 kobo per second, what would it change to?

What about price of fuel? would it change to 7 kobo per litre?

Would the Fulani traders who are selling Cow still understand that the Cow he used to sell for 40,000 naira is now 400 naira?

What will happened at Owanbe parties? Would the people still spray 20 naira denominations being the highest denominations but equalled to 2,000 naira of present regime?. Would 50 kobo paper money that will be introduced gained popularity in owambe parties as it used to be in those days?

Would Murtala edifice still appears on the yet to be introduced 20 naira note? Would Illiterate Yoruba people still prefer to call the 20 naira note (Muri kan?)

Would ATM machines be programmed to dispense coins?

What will happen if US also decided to decimalise its own dollar such that the present 100 dollar is now 1 dollar? Would Nigeria again decimalise its own naira?

How many Nigerians would lose their precious title of Millionnaire and Billionnaire?

I beg I don tired jare, if you know of more questions email me or better still the comments is open for your contributions.
