| 9 Bayelsa women burnt to death in car accident Posted: 15 Feb 2015 05:25 AM PST  According to the The Nation, the accident occurred at Ahoada, in Rivers State and involved a Toyota Sienna car, an SUV and a bus with the inscription, Peoples Democratic Party Women Initiative. A security source put the number of burnt victims at 20 adding that all the occupants of the bus perished. The source who spoke in confidence said: "The affected women were traveling in the bus which went up in flames. They were burnt to ashes. Only one of the women was rescued." It was learnt that the women paid a solidarity visit to the first lady in Okirika where they spent two days. The Bayelsa State Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Mr. Vincent Jack confirmed the accident. He, however, said only nine persons burnt to death, two died without being burnt while many others were rushed to Madonna clinic in the area. He explained that the accident occurred when the tyre of the Toyota Sienna burst and rammed into the bus carrying the women. He said the SUV also rammed into the bus in confusion, a situation that made the bus to go up in flames.Source: The Nation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Pics: Motivational book 'Inspiring A Generation' unveiled in Lagos Posted: 15 Feb 2015 04:10 AM PST  Saturday the 31st of January 2015 saw the birthing of the much talked about and very eagerly anticipated book, "Inspiring A Generation" - a book written by 'Folakemi Fatogbe, a banker to the bankers and Director of Risk Management at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the Wheatbaker Hotel in Ikoyi, Lagos. Continue...
Described, as a Personal Game-Changer "INSPIRING A GENERATION" is essentially a must-have motivational and self-development book that is woven around the election campaigns of President Barack Obama. The book seeks to use President Obama's historic game-changing election campaigns and journey to the White House as a means of inspiring readers to achieve their life dreams and aspirations irrespective of where they are and what they have. The book seeks to achieve this by bringing the achievements of President Obama into people's homes in a way and manner with which they can easily identify and therefore also be inspired by - hopefully, to the extent that the reader feels that they can achieve anything that they set their minds and industry to. Although Obama is the case study, the writer uses Obama as a clear, proven and relatable example and therefore role model of the 'can do' spirit. By bringing to the fore such a laudable role model of our time in a manner that most Nigerians and indeed other citizens of the world can identify with, the author, 'Folakemi Fatogbe seeks to make her own humble contribution towards addressing some of the societal problems that we have as a nation today - the premise being that the improvement and progress of a nation, a community and indeed a family must start with the active self-development and improvement of individuals. This is the fulcrum of this indispensable motivational cum self-development book. The author uses the following immortal words and wisdom of the ancient philosopher Confucius to drive home this point: "To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life..." Confucius (551 BC – 479 BC) To present the book, the writer assembled a formidable team of men and women of excellence including: Prince Juli Adeluyi-Adelusi OFR, mni, as the Chairman – a former Minister of Health and the founder of Juli Pharmacy, Dr Konyin Ajayi (SAN) the Lead Reviewer – Principal Partner at Olaniwun Ajayi LP, Review Panelists comprised of Mrs Bola Adesola - MD & CEO of Standard Chartered Bank (Nig), Mr Chris Okeke - Renowned lawyer and industrialist and Ms Ibada Ahmed – the South African based head of Africa's Young Entrepreneurs. The book was presented by Dr Tunji Olowolafe – a businessman and Senator Babafemi Ojudu – the representative of the writer Ekiti Senate in t representing the wwith Prince Nasiru Ado Bayero – Turakin Kano being avoidably absent due to the forces of nature in Kano.Mrs Bolanle Austen-Peters of Terra Kulture was the panel moderator and event organizer. Mr Bolaji Balogun – CEO, Chapel Hill Denham served as the very able compere. The Chairman, panel and presenters literally held the audience spell-bound with their excellent wit-laden reviews and analyses of the book. Dr Ajayi, not known for such effusive praise described 'INSPIRING A GENERATION" as a masterpiece. Mrs Adesola, said that the writer was being modest in suggesting that the book would affect only one generation as she felt it would affect many generations. She also agreed that INSPIRING A GENERATION is a book about change that encourages readers to be people of impact and conviction. Mr Okeke, was of the view that the author had been able to boldly craft a one of its kind motivational book that unapologetically used an emulation-worthy individual as a basis to motivate others. Ms Ahmed expressed the view that the book was an essential book for the youth of Africa in that it had a multitude of lessons that they could immediately learn from and imbibe into their own lives moreso that it is imperative for African youths to seize the moment now as there might not be a next time. Dr Olowolafe expressed the hope that the book would allow for the emergence of the several Obama's in Nigeria who had the latent capacity to champion various sectors of the economy and made a pledge to buy a significant number for his alma mater. Senator Ojudu on his part opined that Nigeria is a country with a major inspiration deficit that would do well to have the inspiring messages of this book heard far and near. He rounded off by observing that as a country Nigerians are fortunate to have given rise to a book that is world class in terms of both its form and content. He also advised that he would be buying a significant number of copies even though he felt that he could justifiably invoice the author, one of his constituents for services rendered. Ms Fatogbe, in sharing perspectives on why she wrote the book and in doing a mini recital from her book, INSPIRING A GENERATION brought to the fore some of her own life's journey which added a totally different and very compelling dimension to the book presentation, that being that the writer had actually 'walked her talk'. Mr Tunde Lemo, a former Deputy Governor at the CBN implored the author to see INSPIRING A GENERATION as only her debut book which would be followed by many more. He told guests that he felt that the author had a lot more to give not only to the CBN but also to the nation. He mentioned how his own, recently graduated, daughter had adopted the author as her role model a choice of which he was more than happy with having worked with me at close quarters. At the end of the day, 'the proof of the pudding' is in the eating and I was therefore not surprised to see the long queue of guests at the end of the event buying multiple books with many queuing up patiently to have them signed by the author, Ms Folakemi Fatogbe even though she is only a first-time author. I will have to join my voice to the multiple All in all, the event to me stood out for its quality, sheer class and intimacy. It was well-organised, and well attended with no preferential seating and captains of industry mingling freely with other guests. The speakers were extremely articulate and knowledgeable; the audience were attentive with many saying that they wished it could have gone on for longer. Furthermore, there was none of the usual display of ostentatious wealth that one tends to associate with events of this nature in Nigeria – the only mention of money was when the Chairman announced how much the book would retail for.

| OBJ slams GEJ again, says he is afraid Buhari might jail him when he leaves office Posted: 15 Feb 2015 01:31 AM PST  Obasanjo said President Jonathan was doing everything possible to win the elections, either by hook or by crook. He said president Jonathan is playing the cards of former Cote d'Ivoire President, Laurent Gbagbo who continued shifting elections in his country in a bid to ensure that he won the election, a situation that plunged Cote d'Ivoire into political crisis. He said President Jonathan was reigning and not ruling after he said in his last media chat he was not aware of the military's advise that the election be postponed. He said INEC deciding to postpone the election was a forced decision. Read all that after the cut... "While I was away, I refused to make any categorical statement on this issue because I wanted to come back home and learn at firsthand what actually transpired and what was going on, and it turned out to be a forced decision on the INEC because it was alleged that the Security Chiefs were unable to provide security, and as a result the Chairman of INEC had to postpone, in accordance with the dictates of the so called Security Chiefs. I thought, for me, that was bad precedent for democracy in Nigeria. It meant it doesn't matter what preparation or lack of preparation any electoral body could make in Nigeria. The final decision whether election will take place on the day scheduled for it lies in the domain of security. It is a sad day for democracy in Nigeria. I will say this: we must all feel concerned before democracy is killed. The observable and what would appear to be happening is that the president has a grand plan, a grand plan to ensure that by hook or by crook, he wins the election or if it all fails, he scuttles it and creates chaos, confusion and unpleasantness in the whole country. It is the duty and function and responsibility of the security officers to provide security. The President is the Chief Security Officer of the country and he is the Commander- in -Chief and if security is required anywhere, anytime, it is his duty to provide it. Failure to provide it is dereliction of duty. Pure and simple. Whether the President is following his own grand plan or his aides and associates are working a script, they are playing a script which must have got his endorsement, if not initiated by him. What again, it looks to me that the President is trying to play Gbagbo (Laurent). Gbagbo is the former President of Cote d'Ivoire and Gbagbo made sure he postponed the election in his country until he was sure he would win and then allowed the election to take place. He got an inconclusive election in the first ballot. And I believe this is the sort of thing Nigeria may fall into. If I am right in what I observed as the grand plan and then in the run-off, Gbagbo lost with 8% behind Quattara and then refused to hand over. All reasonable persuasion and pleading was rebuffed by him and he unleashed horror in that country until nemesis caught up with him. I believe that we may be seeing a repeat of Gbagbo or what I called the Gbagbo saga here in Nigeria, I hope not." he said Obasanjo said the reasons given by military chiefs who called for election postponement is not tenable and that if they have failed, they should as well leave office and go home "When they have failed, they can as well go home. Their job is to maintain law and order and provide security at any time and at any place. They said they cannot do it, they have failed. I want to believe that this was forced on them, I want to believe that but whether it was forced on them or it was their initiative, it was bad, very bad. I hope we will never have a repeat performance of this in this country again. The unfortunate thing is this: they are over exposing themselves or they are being over exposed by whoever brought about that way of doing things, and for me, a momentous decision like that cannot be taken and implemented by the security chiefs. It was even made worse when the President in the media chat on the 11th of this month claimed not to have knowledge or not to have authorized it. I get worried, very worried, that if the President of Nigeria is not in-charge of security, maintenance of law and order and such a decision can be taken behind him, assuming that is true, then the President must be reigning but not ruling. And who then are the shadow figures that are ruling us? It means that one day we will find out that this country would be plunged into chaos, into commotion and into confusion and the President would say, 'I do not know about it', of course President(Jonathan) can run but he cannot run past God. He has constitutional responsibility and to claim he doesn't know is not an excuse. So, I do hope that those Service Chiefs who we are proud of the services people like me and others like me have rendered and proud of what they are doing, will not shame themselves and shame us. This is because what this amounts to is what, in the military circle, is called very an unmilitary conduct and conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. For me, you can give any excuse or you can give any rationalization or you can rationalize anything. Look Boko Haram problem has been with us since 2009 and now if we say what we have not been able to achieve since 2009 would be achieved in six weeks, all I would say is that God is a God of miracle. God can do anything but knowing what we know, look countries like Syria had election, they have full scale war all over the country. A country like Iraq had election, they had full scale war and they are still having war. Countries like Afghanistan had election, they even had election where the incumbent served his term and moved out. Even Colombia where the rebel group (FARC) has been active for more than 50 years has been having elections regularly and FARC is still very active. So, to say that what we have not been able to achieve in five years, we will achieve in six weeks, let us wait and see. When people want to make excuses, they should look for excuses that are tenable. I believe the President's fear is not leaving office per se, because he and I have had occasions to talk about this both seriously and jovially. I believe President would want an opportunity to disengage peacefully and have a nice, decent and a glorious exit, I believe the President's fear is, particularly, motivated by those who he see as Gen Buhari as his likely successor. I believe those people would have been telling him that Buhari is a hard man, he would fight corruption and you may end up in jail if not in grave. I believe people must have told him all sorts of things and he is not the only one, there are other people who may be afraid of Buhari. But why? I would say that Buhari has learnt his lessons. If he hasn't learnt lessons, then he would be probably the most unlearning human being. If he has learnt lessons, he would know that you do not fight corruption by putting people in jail for 200 years. And this has been done by my own predecessor in office, General Abdulsalami Abubakar. He recovered over $750 million from Abacha's estate without putting anybody in jail, without hurting or harming anybody. When I took over, we recovered over $1.25 billion from the same Abacha estate without hurting anybody, without harming anybody. In fact, what would be rather unfortunate is the fact that our lawyer who is still alive and able, who was chasing this money all over the world, said to us that there's still about $1 billion to be recovered from Abacha estate but the unfortunate thing is that my successor did not do anything about it even though it was in my handing over note. I don't think the President is afraid of being out. There's life after Aso Villa. It depends, of course to a large extent, on how he descendsý; how his descent takes place; and how his exit takes place. Because out there in the international world, there's so much need for the wisdom and experience of people who have done it before. They also want people who are creditable and credible." he said According to President Obasanjo, General Buhari would give a firm leadership to Nigeria and preside over an efficient and effective economy "Whoever comes in at anytime in future will fight corruption, and we must even encourage successful fight of corruption. We must. Recklessness and impunity must not continue to be our part of life. Whether recklessness and impunity in the management of our economic affairs, in the running of our finances and even in political affairs, they must not be allowed to remain part of us. Buhari has tried to do it before. I believe he will give firm leadership which is what is good for a country like this. When he was there, it was the military and military is both the executive and the legislature. In a democracy, that is not possible. I believe he knows the military, the damage that has been done to the military. It has been rendered almost impotent by a number of things that have happened and I believe he will do something about it. And if he doesn't do it, I would say shame on him if he gets there because that is some of the things he knows. I believe he can preside over an efficient and effective economy. He has the knowledge, he has the experience, he may not be a bowl of fire as an economist but he presided over it." he saidHe advised President Jonathan to stop listening to those creating the phobia of Buhari in him "He should not listen to those who are creating phobia, phobia of Buhari, phobia of enquiry and all that. President Jonathan has done well to the best of his ability and he has made history as the first elected Nigerian from a minority tribe and nobody can take that away from him. He can even make a second history, if it turns out that way. If he contests a fair, free and transparent election and loses, take a dignified exit. He will be on the mountain top and he would be acclaimed as a true patriot and a true democrat. What stops him from doing this?" he said | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| So sad! Seyilaw & wife mourn the loss of their unborn child, Cossy Posted: 15 Feb 2015 05:27 AM PST   Stacy announced the loss of her baby girl on her BB some days ago. She wrote "We lost our baby (daughter) Ccossy R.I.P. Thank God for his strength. I am still standing. Please bear with me I can't explain to you all." Seyilaw also mourned their loss on social media. He posted the blank photo on the right on instagram and wrote a poem. See that after the cut. Our condolences Seyi and Ebere. I can't imagine what you two must be going through right now. My heart is blank, My joy has disappeared, Anger has become my companion. The wait is over with a bitter end. Oh Lord! why does it have to be me? I am so imperfect and never denied it. The pains of nine months has amounted to nothing. We believe so much in you. How do I console her when I can't find strength myself? I thought my feet will dance this season. I have enlarged my tent in waiting, But my wait has been hit with sadness. I don't want to murmur or complain, But my emotions are hurt. Help me to stand Lord. So, I can always be thankful. I want to be stronger in praises this period. I want to hold her hands to comfort her. Help us to pass this season while standing. Rest well Cossy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I really, really cared for him and I loved him very, very much and I always will, but he just wasn't right for me. That's hard when you really, really love a person in your heart, you want to be with them, but you finally have to say, 'He's just not right for me.'" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
