NIGERIAN GENERAL ELECTION


The people’s Democratic Party (PDP) has dominated Nigerian politics since democracy was established in 1999, while opposition parties have been unable to present any serious opposition in the past, they have been unable to present any challenge to the PDP in National Elections.


In 2015, the All progressive Congress (APC) may present the PDP’s first serious opposition since 1999. The party is a coalition of several other parties in the country including the Congress for Progressive Change, Action Congress of Nigeria and the All Nigeria people’s party. This coalition represented several provincial governors on formation and has been fed by other governors and politicians defecting from the PDP.

If the coalition holds, the APC may be able to win a majority in the national senate providing a defeat for the PDP for the first time.

After a botched governor’s election in Anambra state, there are serious concerns that the election may not go smoothly. The Country’s election commission has promised a better election process and fair elections may help prevent the violence that has plagued previous Nigerian election.

Everyone thinks PDP would win the presidential seat because APC (Buhari and his cohorts)  are making Nigerians realize that, they are behind the problems in his administration and it may give him (GEJ) more votes………… And prominent people are supporting him (Dangote) and PDP is the most corrupt party they know how to maneuver votes and it is almost obvious that APC are  behind the insurgency in Nigeria, those at the fore front of the #Bringbackourgirls protest are APC  leaders………. They did it to pressurize the president and to make people feel that GEJ Administration is incompetent and that he doesn't have sympathy for Nigerians.

Foregone conclusion, it really makes no difference if my bluntness offends some people, especially those who have put their broken eggs in the APC basket. I am not a Goodluck Jonathan Supporter and have never been and will never be a card  carrying member of the PDP, All I do is call it as I see it and this is what I see quite clearly. The result of the 2015 presidential election has been declared the day Goodluck Jonathan finally declares his candidacy. That is the reality of Nigerian politics today. All those currently seeing vision of an APC victory will quickly wake up from their slumber. Those who are sitting on the fence will be contained to fall in line behind him.

Nigerian politics are not suicidal they are limited liability companies. They are only interested in “Number One” they know there are no cigars for losers.
2015 election is gonna be a like every other election Nigerians have seen but the tendency and probability of foul play is high. We pray the peace of God reign. God bless Nigeria.

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.
