Nigerian President Declares a State of Emergency

 I don't why i switched my TV to BEN TV tonight but I'm glad I did.

Finally finally, our president, sorry their president Goodluck, "badluck" Jonathan declares a state of emergency in 3 Northern states in Nigeria- Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

After series, I mean series of cruel, deadly, wicked attacks on innocent people by Islamic group "Boko Haram"! the president finally comes to his senses and takes charge of the situation.

Now for those who do not understand what this means, if there is state of emergency there will be no governing powers anymore. (My thoughts) As in the states will be taken over/ manned by the military which means all those riffraff are in trouble.

Now I pray those military guys will do their jobs. Nigerian soldiers are still very respected even in Africa. So please do your jobs and bring some sanity to the North. Enough of shedding of innocent blood, its gone on for too long.

I'm still watching the program.....

Ruben Abati, Special Adviser to the president on Media and publicity just said on NTA news that there is no where in the Nigerian constitution where it says the Governor has no say when it comes to this declaration.

He said the governor can even request for it.
So these states still have their own functioning governors.

Now i dont  even know what to think.
I can only wait like everyone else to see how it goes.

Guess Who

I love it when people have a good sense of humor. You can guess who this is can't you?
Its the one and only Richard Branson, the Virgin Millionaire.
Doesnt he just look cute......not. lol

Branson had a grandprix bet with AirAsia 's boss Fernandes who use to work for him before setting up his own budget airline.

So he lost the bet and had to dress up as one of AirAsia hostess! A unique one though, cos he did everything else apart from shaving his beard. He even shaved his legs (Company policy), check out his lipstick and his pout attempt.

He had to work as a flight attendant on a 6hour flight from Perth to Kuala lumpur, where he served food and drinks to guests.

Imagine being served by Richard Branson. I will just keep pressing the buzzer and make him work hard for the money i paid for that ticket. ( wishful thinking) Goodness knows how  much the flight would have costed!
Good thing is all the money made from that flight went to a charity. Good job Mr Branson.

Nigeria has a looooong way to go

So on my way to Nigeria, i flew KLM, economy of course! shuttle flight sef, that's what i could afford.

I sat down jeje with my husband and these kids in blue tee shirts and jumpers started coming. The oldest of them wont be more than 15 years old.  Guess where they were coming from? Switzerland! A school trip. One of many i suppose.

Now i know there are rich peeps in Nigeria but these kids are mega rich and i wont be surprised if they are politicians children. Apart from their tee shirts and sweat shirts that are same, everything else these kids had on were all designers, and most of them had their Ipads, Ipods, Iphones, Beats by Dre headsets.  I was gobsmacked!

They filled a whole cabin!

I knew the inequality in Nigeria was bad but I wasn't expecting this. They all look so posh and polished. There were some non Nigerian kids there too. I had to assume their parents are expats in Nigeria. They have Nigerian accents infact!

See for yourself

I can just imagine how much their school fees will be. Millions of Naira I bet.
So these kids will finish school and kids from some government high school will be applying for jobs? I don't think so, the gap will be way to wide. This trip is one of many trips . These kids are exposed, they've been to different countries. An average Nigerian kid won't even go past their state let alone get a passport/visa and travel to another country!

Well enough of my ranting. I knew there were school like this in Nigeria but was still very much surprised by what i saw.........

What happened to equal opportunities? The amount of money that country makes in a day is more than how much Great Britain makes in a week but yet it never goes round. God dey o.
