WHAT WE HAD IN MIND VS WHAT WE GOT (pics)
I saw this hilarious image and i decided to share.
Well! We still got a Super-Hero
THE OONI OF IFE AND HIS BEAUTIFULLY PATTERN THRONE (Pics)
This is an inside view of the throne, beautifully patterned for the Ooni of Ife. The king has got some taste. After watching so many Nollywood movies about kings and royalties, I kind of pictured it to be a place where there are rurally made calabash, animal parts gotten from hunting conquest, a weird looking staff of authority, lowly placed sits for the high chiefs, etc. But this is a breathe of fresh air.
Kudos to the team that put this together. I heard from Stella that everything here is made in Nigeria. That is the way to go. I am already liking this king o. The youth in him is definitely playing out.
WHEN THEY PROMISED CHANGE, NO ONE ASKED WHAT KIND OF CHANGE
If someone walked up to you and said "take", wouldn't you ask, "take what?"
If I promise you CHANGE and you did not carefully ask me, BROS, WETIN U WAN CHANGE? Then you should prepare to get what you get.
It has been the same ball-game, politicians promise us paradise and then give us hell. They criticize the present government and make unrealistic promises with not even the slightest clue of how to achieve it.
Below is the list of the promises made to vulnerable Nigerians because me I knew it was a case of giving a kid two notes of 5 Naira and collecting one 100 Naira note from him. Two is more than one (Deceit)
They promised to scale up the exchange rate of our currency by making one naira equal to one US dollar. Have they kept this promise?
They promised to bring back the Chibok girls in three months. Have they brought back the Chibok Girls?
They promised to pay N5,000 to 25 million unemployed youths. Have they paid a kobo to any youth?
They promised free meals to our children in the schools. Have they given any?
The Zero-Corruption Masquerade only dances in an arena of PDP spectators. APC stake-holders are baptized to wash away their sins and then anointed to become saints. The sit of Buhari as ordained by JAH, has been given the authority to forgive and with-hold sin. "Which ever sin you forgive at Aso-rock is forgiven in Heaven and which ever seen you with-hold, is with-held in Heaven."
They promised to end the Boko Haram insurgency in December 2015.
Perhaps Mr President strategic and non frivolous trips will bring the desired change. He will soon visit all the world's presidents and head of States, after that, if change does not come, perhaps he will pay God a visit.
God help us.
WOMAN NAMES HER SHOP ISIS (pics)
It is either she is very daring, or she has been in a coma for years now so has never heard of the ISIS terrorist group, or she is just amazingly stupid.
What other explanation can you come up with?
OH! IT IS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR - NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
It is that time of the year when people begin to pen down both imaginable and unimaginable things to do change about themselves as an act of self improvement.
Nice concept right?
But, how many people actually go through with it? Let me ask one even better, how many people actually remember their resolutions for last year or this year? I mean without the help of your diary or memo. You see my point?
A real resolution begins with knowing yourself and telling yourself the truth. If you don't know how to boot a computer and yet you write as one of your goals, "by 2016, I want to be like Mark Zuckerberg." My dear, you need a psycho-analysis to be sure you still see the world as it is and not Disneyland. You know your strength and your weaknesses, you want to shed off some of the weaknesses, all good! But do it in a realistic and systematic way.
My take in the matter is, why not start with something realistic, crawl, then stand and then take baby steps before you start sprinting.
Decide and then set a target: When people say I want to loose 10 pounds next year, they will never achieve it, not because they didn't mean it, but because there was no actual timeline. If you say, "By February 28, I want to have lost 10 pounds". Now you are talking.
Have a plan and work the work: I didn't say walk the walk, because some people will walk back and forth thinking they are working, but worth done by a pendulum is equal to zero. Rather, I want you to work smart, faith is good, but without work, it is dead. A woman says to herself, I want to have children, she sleeps in the Church ad never get enough time to sleep with her husband, na the church go give am the belle? Is she expecting the miracle of Immaculate conception? Let us be real, plan and work.
Finally, my favorite, i have seen people hold unto their bad character, waiting for the end of the year so that they can finally resolve not to do them the subsequent year, damn! For a desperate need to avoid being abusive, don't be an idiot! I try na. If you notice something bad about yourself in the middle of the year, please work on it and drop it.
Change is hard, infact some people believe that human beings are incapable of change, I think it is not true, because it might bee extremely hard, but impossible is never the case. Let us make resolutions count or don't make them at all.
And when you make it, I am really happy for you, but please, keep it to yourself and don't disturb us with plans of how you will be a better person. When you become better, we will see it. By their fruits, you shall know them.
HILARIOUS PICS OF FRENCH PRESIDENT AWARDING A BASKETBALL PLAYER
These Hilarious photos are all over the internet, showing French president awarding the Basketball player Sandrine Gruda.
Some are born Goliath, while some are born Zacchaeus, God made them all. Lol.
It was supposed to be an ordinary solemn award ceremony, except that… ridiculous difference in height between the president and the player!
Well, just like Zacchaeus, Hollande might have climbed the tree to see Jesus, but, I mean......He is the President of France, He definitely must have done something right.
Talk about awakening the giant in you and this is a perfect example.
Below is the real picture before the doctored version that went viral.

CONTROVERSY: UNIVERSITY WOMEN OBJECTIFYING THEIR OWN BODY
Two weeks ago, the University of Oxford female rugby team released a nude photo shoot to sell off their calendar, now the University of Liverpool Female Rugby team have stripped off and it worked perfectly. Their calendar sold out pretty quick. They were sold to support Coppafeel, a charity organisation which teaches women how to check their breasts regularly to detect cancer in it's early stages.
The Liverpool ladies team sold 375 copies of the calendar at £10 each and estimate that profits will be more than £2,000 after expenses are taken out.
Just some days ago, i posted an article of a slut-walk in Brazil where women were protesting.
This event had hundreds of women stripping off to protest rape and all forms of sexual violence upon women.
The topless women used markers and paint to inscribe words and slogans , while some waved banners that expressed their irritation towards how men have objectified women.
It is a noble reason to protest on an issue as barbaric as rape but like I said, the approach is one that i frown at, because Charity begins at home. If you want others to believe something, you should start by believing it yourself. In this photos, women just proved that it is okay to go nude to sell calendars, it is okay to use my body to get what I want, but it is not okay when men objectify us. My question is, using your body as sign-posts and advertisement, using your body to raise funds and sell magazines, Is that not you OBJECTIFYING your own body?
When you use your body as some sort of manipulative agent or for seductive purposes, it is not just OBJECTIFYING, it is WEAPONIZING the body.
I keep saying, we can't eat our cake and still have it, you see, I wish I could do that sometimes too, but this is the real world, we must learn to accept our own mistakes and share in the blame. It is cheer mockery and hypocrisy to ask someone to see you differently when you don't act differently. The way you dress is the way you will be addressed
I still maintain that if women are genuinely interested in having a society of gentlemen, then they should learn to be ladies. The word lady is an old English word meaning - a woman to whom homage or obedience is due such as the mistress of a household.
I leave you with the words of Pope Pius XII called Sacra Virginatas: To dress modestly is to avoid deliberately causing sexual excitement in oneself or one's neighbor. One who dresses modestly shuns clothes that are known or reasonably expected to effect sexual arousal in oneself or others. Modesty is dress pertains to both genders.
Pope Pius XII (1939-1958), in harmony with the Magisterium and orthodox spiritual authors, addressed the necessity of cultivating modesty.
"How many young girls there are who see nothing wrong in following certain shameless styles like so many sheep. They would certainly blush with shame if they could know the impression they make, and the feelings they evoke, in those who see them.
"The good of our soul is more important than the good of our body; and we have to prefer the spiritual welfare of our neighbor to our bodily comforts . . . If a certain kind of dress constitutes a grave and proximate occasion of sin, and endangers the salvation of your soul and others, it is your duty to give it up . . . O Christian mothers, if you know what a future of anxieties and perils, of illguarded shame you prepare for your sons and daughters, imprudently getting them accustomed to live scantily dressed and making them lose their sense of modesty, you would be ashamed of yourselves and you would dread the harm you are making for yourselves, the harm which you are causing to these children, whom Heaven has entrusted to you to be brought up as Christians.
ANALYSIS: ONITSHA RIOT NEEDS A DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION
This comment got me thinking, Is this the kind of Nation Biafra want to build. a nation build on blood and war? Are they burning down mosques now? What is the difference between this and the notorious religious sect Boko Haram?
Below is another post that relates to how i feel
I was not born during the civil war, but I have parents who successfully painted the picture of what life was like back then and i don't want to experience that bloody ugliness.
I am 100% full blooded Igbo, but i also don't let my heart do all the thinking, I leave that important task for my head. This is just a propaganda to benefit a few individuals who may have had their public funded home based and personal treasury hijacked by the new administration. The lack of cash-flow threathens them so they are looking for all means possible to change the odds.
Ndi Igbo, let us tell ourselves the truth, during the last presidential election, a lot of Igbos were shouting "Jonathan ka anyi ga eso" - meaning, Jonathan we will follow, but on the day of election, many igbos were found in bars, at home, still shouting "Jonathan ka anyi ga eso" while they never actually came out to vote. On the other side, the Hausa's ensured that even under-aged people and children, even their animals came out to vote. The Yorubas are always the fence warmers. They never have a stand, they support personal interest.
i guess what I am saying is, let us analyse ourselves, if we could no come out to vote, do you think we would come out to fight? Are the Igbos really ready to walk this path? Look at the opponent and their dedication, can we really match it?
I don't have any problem with Nnamdi Kanu, If truly he has the interest of the igbos at hand, this is the time to prove it.
i think Mr president needs to be very diplomatic with this one. My advise is to release Mr Nnamdi with a warning and let him go and settle the ragging lions. If his Excellency decides to use military force or forceful measures, this could threaten the peace of the entire nation and will definitely lead to retaliation and war.
God help us.
ANALYZING THE STORY - THE MARINE WHO KILLED TRANSGENDER
The court in Olongapo, a city 77 miles (124 km) northwest of Manila, sentenced Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton to up to 12 years in prison, according to CNN Philippines' Ina Andolong, who was at the hearing Tuesday.
My take:
I am a controversial person and i try to have a view most will never have or quickly dismiss if they do. The award winner author, Chinua Achebe believes that to every story, there are two sides and there is an eminent danger to a single story.
His story has already been told, I will just like to look into that dark room that no one has been willing to shed some light on.
His Story: Pemberton told police in October that he'd choked Laude, but then tried to revive her. He said he had become angry with Laude upon discovering she had male genitalia, according to police.
How many of you have heard of the word "homophobia?". if you haven't, Homophobia is the hatred or fear of homosexuals - that is, lesbians and gay men - sometimes leading to acts of violence and expressions of hostility. Homophobia is not confined to any one segment of society, and can be found in people from all walks of life.
Those who suffer from phobias become extremely anxious when exposed to an object or situation that triggers their fear. Some sufferers may become anxious from simply thinking about their fear. Individuals may take great measures to avoid trigger objects or situations.
Phobias commonly cause panic attacks, characterized by difficulty breathing, sweating, racing heartbeat, and confusion. Many individuals have specific triggers that make them feel nervous or frightened. Fear transitions into phobia when a situation causes an extreme response.
Do you see where i am going with this, Pemberton is Homophobic and in that state of extreme anxiety, as a marine who is programmed to attack and defend effectively, he used the only tool he knows how to.
I am not in anyway justifying what he did, i mean, manslaughter or murder is an inexcusable crime, but the victim was not completely free as she should have made known her true identity before engaging in oral sex and by not doing this, she became an unfortunate trigger to a homophobic man.
Though he will serve his time, i just thought we deserve to see the dark corners of the whole story, to help us see beyond the action, and look upon the intention. Because though the intention is arguably uncontrolled due to the phobia, his intention might not have been to kill the she-man.
