“FRIENDS, ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN, LEND ME YOUR EARS!!!”


Mark Antony’s Famous Speech (in “Julius Caesar”)



Friends, Nigerians, countrymen; lend me your ears! I come to assess Jonathan’s performance, not to praise him. The work that men do lives after them, and the good is oft’ interred with their careers; so let it be with Jonathan. The noble Brutus hath told you Jonathan is ambitious and not performing. If it were so, it would have been a grievous fault; and grievously would Jonathan have answered it! 

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest, (for Brutus is said to be an honorable man; so are they all; all honorable men). Come I to speak on Jonathan’s performance and re-election. He is our president, faithful and just to the nation. But Brutus says he is ambitious and not performing. And, Brutus is said to be an honorable man!

Woman whose face was filled with 'cement' by an unlicensed surgeon

Image
  Rajee Narinesingh, 46, was born a man. He decided he wanted a different life and identity and turned himself to a woman. He didn't like what he looked like as a woman and decided to have plastic surgery done. She didn't have enough money to go to 'dem Beverly Hills 90210 doctors and decided to do what she could afford. The black market plastic surgeon she paid to do the surgery injected 'cement' like filler into her cheeks, lips, breasts and buttocks leaving her face looking deformed. Lol. God forgive me for laughing but it's too funny. The fake doctor who carried out the operation, Oneal Ron Morris, 32, was jailed for a year in January 2014, nine years after she carried out the surgery, after admitting one count of practicing healthcare without a licence. Thankfully for Rajee, after her predicament was made public, a doctor offered to fix her face. Continue.. Fake surgeon, Oneal Ron Morris, who is also transgender, seen above at her...

I was out to purchase recharge cards last night only to hear very tiny weeny children, gathered near where I stood, talking about Big Brother Africa. The oldest amongst these kids would be 13yrs old, coz I know one of them who said he is in Jss2. Long story cut short, these kids were discussing who the next person to be evicted should be; what happened during which episode, who the love team of who and who should be; who was bathing where and the lewd-pictures they saw on the internet. I have never watched an episode of any BBA. Why? coz all that I’ve heard about it till-date doesn’t agree with the moral values I grew up with and wish to keep. Unfortunately, this all-ver-the-world Big Brother doesn’t promote any kind of moral value. Some of us grew up around Sesame street, Night Rider, Superman, Batman, Discovery channel, Great heroes of the Bible, Jesus of Nazareth, Nature and the Wild, under the deep blue sea etc….. and a host of what I call "educative TV" – for ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AN INVALUABLE WOMAN

Image
My mother is one I could never match She has depth so much more than me Ever steadfast in her life Self sacrificing as any could be. Patience, a virtue she wears like a crown Humility graces her brow Oft’ times I’ve caused her to shadow a frown Thank God that was then…this is now. Quiet in spirit, sure to possess herself in great dignity Rare is the time she cannot caress the weight of eternity. Her laughter like music, Her song like a prayer, She is one of a kind. All of us grateful for the life she has led, No lovelier one you could find. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain A virtuous woman fears God If ever a scripture could mirror a name She’s it…..She is not a facade.
