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. Ogheneochoko who was elated at this honour, credited his success and that of other Nigerian students to the wonderful support received from tutors and the excellent learning and living facilities the University of Huddersfield offers. 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 ...

Just like that, it’s the end of 2013. It’s indeed been an incredible year, so much happened, the good, bad and the downright ugly. As the year ends am thankful for the blessings of life and the blessings of preservation for me, my entire family and friends far and near.  I have continued in this tradition of having reflections about the outgoing year and outlook for the incoming year,as my last post for the year. In my home country the level of insecurity in 2013 was worrying but God Kept Us, from burglars to armed robbers, terrorist, kidnappers, and militants of all sorts as they unleased evil, while the security agencies continue to try its best to contain this raging madness of “unreasonable men”.  Government and social corruption continues to digs its paws deep into our political and social fabric. While almost everyone complains of this particular ill, it yet seems as the day go by corruption is becoming a way of life for most. How do we fight this raging wave th...

I for one usually don't follow trends for the fun or sake of it, I won't buy a shirt, shoe, or even a car if I could afford it  just because it's in vogue . Similarly I won't do a dance or even a hair style because it's the trend. I don't like being anti trends, and have nothing against people who love the trends, but for me I always go with what I feel comfortable in or feel comfortable doing regardless if it's a trend or not. This brings me to this question: - Is social media a trend for the young folks or kids of the 21st century or is social media now a way of life,something we  somewhat can't do without,t wo big questions to ponder, especially if you consider your self savvy and an upwardly  mobile professional. For me, I lean more towards the latter but with a healthy skepticism. I do agree that with the pace at which technology and human communication is moving socializing,  doing business or even dating via the Internet is not a fad and...

Salisu Suleiman is one of the favorite blog's I read, he is always  insightful and his analysis spot on, recently he wrote about the challenges of university entry for the burgeoning number of young Nigerian high school leavers struggling for University entry places each year.  As a  practitioner in the Higher Education development and marketing sector, I would like to take him on some issues he raised especially the much debated downsides of Nigerians studying overseas.  Its important  that I state first that I do agree that the majority of Nigerians should study in-country and this is still the situation at the moment. If the government can create further higher education study routes and opportunities such as the community colleges model that Salisu Suleiman proposes in his blog post,I believe that would be an excellent steps in the right direction- read Salisu article here [ http://s...

In March (myself &; colleagues from the institution I work for) organised an event at the Sheraton Hotel Ikeja,Lagos Nigeria  and we used one of its  event hall called the(pili pili). We had  arrived  at the Sheraton early that morning and patiently waited for the start time for this event while  welcoming and  ushering delegates to the conference/training session we had put together for our partners.  The lead/conference  organizer  commenced the 1 st session of the event promptly as scheduled and as the usual nature with events held in Nigeria not all delegate’s was yet seated at start time, but we had most people arrived already, so we commenced the 1 st session as planned. A few minutes after this session started a couple of people entered the hall, we beckoned to them to quietly pick a folder and seat to avoid distractions as much as is possible, with the intention to welcome them much later. In just about an hour the 1 st sessi...
