2014, wow! what a year, and in a few hours the,days,weeks and months that made up the year 2014, all comes to an end. Looking back now, I can say 2014 for me was a busy year, eventful year, with tough challenges and yet its ending on a grateful and thankful note. I sure didn’t get all I would have wanted or hoped for, or did all I could have or should have done rightly, while I won’t fail to constantly take stock of my life’s happenings, for now I am not bothered of what I got right or didn’t get right – I just grateful and thankful to God Almighty for the end of one year and elated, hopeful and expectant at the beginning of another year, that presents renewed opportunities and goodness. For all that lived out 2014, you know the many unexplainable, shocking and sad events that occurred – internationally and locally in my country. I purposely chose not to mention or list some of these events but my prayer and heart’s desire is that  comforts and restorations comes to th...

President Goodluck and Former Military President Buhari It’s almost election year again in Nigeria and the internet from twitter,to facebook and the blog-sphere is buzzing with comments, articles and analysis from Nigerians about the 2015 elections. I understand all the frenzy about this elections, because  Nigerians or at least most Nigerian consider  this elections  will be Nigeria's most  decisive and keenly contested elections since the return to democracy in 1999. A Friend posted an article on facebook with the title [ 3 Reasons Buhari-Osinbajo Beats Jonathan-Sambo ] by Tokunbo Akintola  read here http://www.tokunboakintola.com/3-reasons-buhari-osinbajo-beats-jonathan-sambo/  Obviously many comments were  made on the posters facebook page by some of us who read the article, it was a split.While some praised Buhari as a non-corrupt  candidate when compared against the current president (Goodluck), others reeled out the achieveme...

Central Bank of Libya Statement on Public Finances  published on , 8 December 2014 - An interesting read even though Libya is still a nutcase, however I trust Nigeria's GEJ,NOI,DAM and the central bank governor will be  reading this  -  Nigeria's policy measure to contain the adverse effect of falling oil prices,falling foreign exchange  reserves and even lost revenue from crude oil theft to some extent is still lame. While am not an economist, introducing tax on luxury goods,cutting down on government oversea trip etc I would say is just a  "flash in the pan". If the government wants to really cut spending - start now and prune the over bloated  expenditure on the executive and legislative arms of governments federal,state and local council levels, and strengthen the institutions saddled with the responsibility to fight and reduce corruption (public and private). If GEJ is re-elected or GMB elected,Nigerians kiss your beloved petroleum...

With the Nigeria general elections due in 2015,Nigeria's  People Democratic Party (PDP) governors endorsed  Goodluck Ebele Jonathan the current president (GEJ); they forgot that two remaining endorsements with which GEJ cannot really make it are;Gods endorsement and that of the people. PRESIDENT GEJ -  It’s no longer news that a "cabal" exist now and it sponsoring  events e.g TAN rallies and the 100's of other support groups all ment for GEJ re-elections, they are are spending billions of Naira already to basically protect their own interest by ensuring GEJ remains in government, not the interest of the majority of Nigerians.  From his action /in actions GEJ himself is buying totally into this falsehood failing to learn from the two most important aspects of his own ascension to the presidency  1.Was the YAR'ADUA cabal (former Nigerian president) not demolished by divine providence when President Y...

I recently made the comments below when someone put up this picture on facebook                                 "Trust no one" what an interesting phrase, but somehow its practically impossible when you really give it some thought:::  My view is that life ensures we trust whether we really want to or not ?  for example think of it in these terms.Have you ever flown on a plane ?, then I submit that you actually did put some form of trust on the pilot,engineers ,air traffic controllers etc that they all knew what they were doing, thats the reason you decided to take a calculated risk and fly on that plane?.  How about travelling by road on public transport  in a country like Nigeria where road accident occurs daily?, you don’t know the driver but you trust he could drive and also drive safely all the way to your destination and when you set off on a journey you di...

THE BIG QUESTION NIGERIANS MUST ASK? Why Nigeria's public servant never tell Nigerians the simple truth? From the natural lairs  the politician,to even the security services, everyone now seems to lie, look you in the face and lie like hell, and dwell in mediocrity and eye service just  to show to Mr. President look "I am working" and thus your so called transformation agenda is changing lives of Nigerians... yet the reality is far,far different because they the highly place public office holders seem to be the once judging their own performance  : It's almost a total risk, to take the word of the Nigerian Government as reliable,you do that at your peril My comments here has nothing to do with the President of Nigeria aka GEJ, I am not anti or pro GEJ,so don't get it twisted pro GEJ supporters,I am pro Nigeria and my concern here is about the culture of lies and falsehood that's now being deep rooted in the Nigerian public life and system especial...

As a kid, the rap artist by (Snap) made me dance to this song "I got the power" - . After reading the article found via the link below on (Why Nigeria Generates So Little Power) by Timi Soleye  http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5695091    I ask if his quote  "greenest populous country in the world, but it is so entirely by accident"  is sarcasm or ridicule? But sad reality is that this writer said it all. Some Hard Facts : Over the last 2months with zilch electricity from my electricity providers ( Port-Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company  PHED), http://www.phed.com.ng/ I have practically generated my own power and gone through the fragmented process of generation,transmission,and distribution including storage thus giving me a sneak view of the entire supply chain.                                                   ...

In the last two years over four Nigerian students have been awarded PhD scholarship’s at the University of Huddersfield in the United Kingdom. Mr Ogheneochoko Obie who completed a master degree with distinction in Engineering Control Systems and Instrumentation at the University is one of the students who won a full scholarship for a PhD program in the same field. Prof. Bob Cryan and Ogh neochuko e The scholarship award was presented last November at the graduation ceremony of the University by the vice chancellor of the University Prof. Bob Cryan.

In 2012 Huddersfield University was rated one of the best in the world for student experience by the International Student Barometer (ISB) survey conducted by International Graduate Insig...

While many people say September 11 is a date that will last in infamy in the American calendar, the reality of the 21 st century generation is that the carnage of terrorism is reshaping human existence. The bloodletting, destruction and relentless attacks by terrorist network across the globe is, need I say shocking. While world leaders keep gathering each year to discuss economics, world politics and the balance of power out of a weariness to avoid a 3 rd world war now or in the future, the fight against the ravages of terrorism is still very much segmented and lack well co-ordinated global efforts. As the western world with better technological capabilities are giving it all it takes to defeat or at least to stop the terrorist in their tracks, the developing and un-developed world is quickly becoming the save haven and the center of destruction for terrorist Lords and ragtag killing squad. Just 5years ago, a suicide bomb attacks was completely alien to my home country Ni...

"oh, oh, oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah I get a feeling that  I never never never never had before" FAITH,IDEAS,AMBITION,COMMITMENT,HARD-WORK,TRUST,JOY,&FUN This post really has nothing to do with the song "good feeling" by the musician Flo Rida. Its just a message I shared with a very trust worthy soul who happens to be a dear friend of mine and I just thought of blogging about it, trusting in due time posterity will someday stand witness “this feeling was, more than just a feeling ”. 2014 it’s going to be an incredible year the best we have had yet and I just feel it, been  having deep personal and spiritual reflections and outlooks for what’s ahead.. Hopefully we can share ideas more this year and possible do something together. Nigeria is growing fast and so many opportunities abound..... Am searching, and thinking deeper lately, time to arise, and shine... I want to be a founder, leader/teacher and an ...
