Hello Blogsville!!!! How have Y`all Been & how was your weekend ??? I know the week just started but i hope its going smoothly..
I stumbled upon this some weeks ago & thinking of how to solve or answer this weird puzzle or magic question,*yes Magic coz in my books if i don`t Understand then something`s wrong* has consumed my precious Me time and taken over everything including DiDi activities *insert any nice activity here*..
Read carefully.. I saw a Jacket at Macys and it was going for $100,because i was broke, i went home,borrowed $50 each from my Brother and Sister. When i got back to the Store the price of the jacket had been reduced to $97 so i had $3 change. When i got back home,i gave a dollar each to my siblings and i kept the last dollar which means i now owe them $49 each. If i multiply $49 by 2,i get $98 & if i add the $2 that i have already giving to them,it comes back to $100. My headache is why do i still have a dollar?
Hello Blogsville!!!! Happy new Month!!! How have Y`all Been & how have your week been so far??? Before i procede i would like to say THANK YOU to every Blogsville fam for the love and wishes ,my dad sure would be happy too....once again Mucho Gracias.
The main post,NIGERIA as a country has made headlines the world over and we all know that most of this has to do with Negative or weird things..before this post the weirdest news that topped my chart for God knows how long is the one where a goat got arrested for theft.
I was on my usual weird news hunt when i found the article below,why do i hunt weird news?? well i hate watching/listening to regular news coz they telling us a bunch of edited lies and try to brain wash us so i stick to the few *OMG,For real?* kinda news..enjoy this....
KANO, Nigeria — A one-month old baby, said to hold a diploma, was on the Nigerian government payroll, officials have discovered, exposing the levels to which corruption runs in Africa's most populous country.
The name of the infant was recently found on the payment voucher of a local government council in northern Nigeria during an exercise to fish out ghost employees from a bloated workforce, Garba Gajam, justice commissioner for Zamfara State told AFP late Wednesday.
"In the on-going verification exercise of the payrolls ... in the state we discovered that a month-old baby was among the employees of one local government who is paid a salary," Gajam said.
"What is even more astonishing is that it was indicated in the payroll that the infant holds an ordinary national diploma," said Gajam, revealing that the discovery is a "widespread trend in the local government service where senior officials stuff payrolls with the names of their wives and children".
In August the name of a five-month-old baby was found on the payroll of another local municipality, prompting an investigation.
"And we have been receiving amazing revelations which point to the rot and abysmal level of corruption at the local government level," Gajam said.
Perpetrators will be have to refund the siphoned funds and face prosecution for misappropriating public funds.
Zamfara is one of the 12 predominantly Muslim states in northern Nigeria that adopted the sharia law which imposes amputation of a wrist for theft.
So far no-one has been tried for corruption in a sharia court in the state since the re-introduction of the penal code in 1999.
In 2001, two cattle rustlers had their right wrists amputated in separate sentences, drawing local and international outrage.
I remember our 1st arguement,it was over Chicken & yes you made your point after buying me a full chicken.

Hello Blogsville!!!! Happy new Month!!! How have Y`all Been & how was your weekend???. Jeez..I haven`t seen my page after my birthday, which is So So So not kool but i have been showing up randomly and commenting on posts so i guess apart from not updating my blog i really didn`t Go M.I.A . Its been a while and i`m just gonna do a quick summary of events that occurred from the 16th of August till date. Okay so on my birthday i decided to stay indoors and be mindful of what kind of gifts i open upon receiveing coz i have not been a very good boy when it comes to giving my friends presents.
This year alone i have giving soldier ants "real soldier ants",boxing glove on a spring,XXXXXXXXL briefs & a smoke bomb as birthday presents. Its kinda like a who has the badest prank thing my teammates started years ago, i can confidently say i`m the king coz i know where to get the weirdest gifts *evil grin*. Later that evening my teammates had a surprise party for me and boy did their appointed spokes person have a hard time getting me to open the gates talkless having him come upstairs and wait whiles i got ready coz the stories he was telling me just to make me come with him wasn`t adding up but i had to go so i don`t ruin whatever plan he/they had whether good or bad. Can`t blame me,Its just that most of my most of my teammates are victims of my prank/mischief so i did not want to go coz only GOD knows what they had in mind for the king of mischief. :P
I decided to man up,face my fears and just go with him afterall, whats the worst that could happen ???? ..In 15mins we were at another mates house to pick him up before heading to our final destination. We drove in,he opened the front door and asked us to sit for a bit and that he would be back. we sat for about 20mins and still no sign of this dude,at that point all sort of thoughts crossed my mind coz i felt like it was judgement day and my mighty reign of terror was going to come to an end. He was taking forever and so we decided to go see whats going on in there,"little did i know the whole team was in his room" as we got closer i called out but no responce. I reached for the door knob, opened it and when i saw the room population and the smiles the had on their faces i knew it was gonna be a crazy night to remember. Everybody came out, sang,wished me well and made sure i had a good bath with all sort of drinks. Although i wasn`t too comfortable coz i don`t drink alcohol and most of the drinks being poured on me was alcoholic. That was their way of getting back at me but mine still top,my birthday party was the last team celebration before Pre-season so we partied HARD.
4 days later we assembled at a Bus Terminal coz it was time for pre-season/training tour,7hrs later we arrived at our hotel & retired to bed. The next day we got to meet our new coach,the old coach had an offer he couldn`t refuse and sadly left without a word. Guess he just wouldn`t be able to stand the emotions,especially from some of us that he coached through the ranks so it was best he left the way he did. The new coach did a lil introduction and when he finished,we went out to see our new home city as tradition demands before we begin drills the following day. The pre-seaon went well,just that after 2weeks the new coach which we were already finding difficulties adapting to his Military style was on my case and we had a lil training ground incident which resulted into me staying back after regular session to do 3hrs extra hours of shuttle runs supervised by none other but himself.
I was so pissed coz i felt he is trying to act all bossy,offcourse he is the head coach and demands respect but i honestly did not do anything crazy,all i did was pass a funny comment which was not even about him. He was pissed coz i made my mates laugh during a serious session and to him that should not happen when he is in charge. i mean how??? the drills are crazy and at least we gotta have something to laugh about but i guess this "mean machine sent back through time to make our lives living hell" did not understand it that way. His assistant called me and told me that i have to realize that power has changed hands and alot of things are going to change but he is going to try talk to the head coach so he loosens up abit coz his action made my team mates hate him the more coz of his approach to everything. I remember tweeting about how i felt like going up to his room on the 7th floor and just throw him out the window for making me shuttle run that long but i guess after a talk with 9ja-great i just let the rage and anger go away.
Anyway we still not friends and can never be so all we do is try fit into his military style which is doing more harm than good,its sure gonna be a looong season & i`m gonna get through it with what P.E.Tprojects told me when i spoke about the coach trying to kill my shine,she said i should see him as an obstacle that have to be scaled. i`m gonna work twice as hard so help me GOD.
Gotta run,YO`MAMA jokes is happening live in the lobby..:) & erm In other news i recieved 2 awards :D ,will make post about them very soon till my next post be good and stay blessed. DiDi from a City far,far away. :)

Hello Blogsville!!!! How have Y`all Been??? I`m good,hope you had lovely weekend. First of i would like to say happy new Month to everybody. Welcome to my month which is the best Month of the year coz August Borns Rock!!!!! we rock. My birthday is on the 16th and i`m looking forward to have an awesome one with somebody from my I wish post. :) My wish came through.!! Whoop Whoop!
Away from #AUGUSTRUSH brags,Its here again.Whats here?? The Clash of the Titans! :) . Ghana Vs Nigeria!!! The Atmosphere here in Ghana is lively ,Confidence level is Sky high & everybody is patiently waiting for tomorrow`s game in London. The friendly rivalry lives on.TheSuper Eagles have failed to win their last three matches against the Black Stars, including a 1 – 4 loss in 2007 in a friendly match. In fact, Nigeria’s Super Eagles are yet to beat Ghana’s Black Stars since 2006 when they won by a lone goal at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The question i have been answering for years still comes Up,"Who are you rooting for??" My answer is ,may the best team win coz its a Win-Win situation for me. What are your views???? Do you think the Nigeria would turn things around??
Hello Blogsville!!!! How have Y`all Been??? I have been good, just been busy with trials and after which i went on a mini vacation before Pre-season. Pre-season is a period where Footballers go through hectic drills just to get ready for the new season. This Year`s Pre-season begins in late August,knowing how crazy pre-season can be my usual preparation mode was to try take my mind of it coz thinking how hectic it is alone is enough to make you wanna Quit. I developed a whole new attitude after last year`s session after having a chat with a Local who was a trench digger. It was 5am in the morning ,we assembled at the base of a mountain in the blistering cold. Fitness coach tells us we have 1hr to get up the mountain , do another 2km run and the report back to base.
We were followed by the team bus and were handed water or being picked up if we fail to make it,being picked up means you are not ready for business and you not gonna get signed for that season. So no matter what happens U dare not get on the bus. We all made it up,did the 2km run and back to base but not under an hour coz we could barely lift our legs after getting up the Mountain. All the Coach wanted was for us to make a good time and he was impressed coz we were only 15mins late.
We went back to our hotel,had breakfast took a nap and woke up to have lunch. After lunch i decided to take a walk, i got to the junction sat at the bus stop where i met the trench digger. We exchanged pleasantries,got talking and he told me he saw us run up the mountain. Immediately i started to tell him how tedious it was and how hard you had to push yourself in order to beat time and all that,i felt i was not making sense coz he did`t seem interested ,well what does he know he is not an athlete so he would not understand.
1 of My Motivational Tees...
He looked At me and said that is hard, but look You ran for just 1hr,i`m a trench digger and i dig from 6 to 6 . 6 to 6 ??? i asked and he said yes and the also had to meet a dead line coz it was a telecom project and their contract would be terminated if they don`t. Before i met this guy i felt i had the hardest task of Pre-seaon but after meeting him i thought otherwise. I asked how he does it,how does he manage to go day in day out just digging,its crazy and its enough to make you break down. I don`t do anything he said,i just ask GOD to do the Pushing for me,although painful and tedious i know he controls every swing of the digger.
I left the bus stop knowing that choosing to be alone or asking GOD for help is my choice to make & trust me,i let him do the PUSHING for me.
No matter what field,industry or situation you find yourselves always remember to ask GOD to do the Pushing for you. :)

Hello Blogsville!!!! How was your weekend??? Hope you all had an awesome 1. I would like to say happy 4th July to all Americans home and abroad and to everybody observing this day including moi :) .
Now to today`s post, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. I decided to do this post coz i want to join the hundreds of thousands of millions voices saying NO to this barbaric act. We all agree that crazy stories about this act has been hitting the headlines lately and in an alarming way. I have always thought Domestic Violence had to do with just hitting your partner but my research i realized there is MORE to it than what we think. .
WHAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?
Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner.
Abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that frighten, intimidate, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, injure or wound someone.
Domestic violence can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender. It can happen to couples who are married, living together or who are dating. Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels.
You may be in an emotionally abusive relationship if your partner:
Calls you names, insults you or continually criticizes you.
Does not trust you and acts jealous or possessive.
Tries to isolate you from family or friends.
Monitors where you go, who you call and who you spend time with.
Does not want you to work.
Controls finances or refuses to share money.
Punishes you by withholding affection.
Expects you to ask permission.
Threatens to hurt you, the children, your family or your pets.
Humiliates you in any way.
You may be in a physically abusive relationship if your partner has ever:

Michael Jackson continues to inspire people in every corner of the world as someone who chose to use the extraordinary gifts and talents he was blessed with to deliver messages of hope, love and peace. Michael's legacy is more than his remarkable artistic accomplishments. It also includes an indescribably unique spirit that still connects Michael today with countless fans in a way that knows no borders, no cultural barriers and which speaks a common language of unity and compassion. Our thoughts and prayers are especially with his children as we fondly remember the Michael Jackson whose friendship, humor and kindness joyously touched so many lives.
I became an M.J fan in August 1994 when i saw Bad`s Music video for the 1st time,all i remembered about him before then was that,he was the guy in a poster at a record store,who wore a fancy black leather jacket & had a long curly hair. The closest view i got then was through the school bus window. I was little and did not know much about him,i was even lucky to have seen that video coz my friends just arrived from the states and apart the cool toys they brought,M.J`s tape was the coolest coz it had most of his dance routines on it.
The moon walk to us was like magic,we had to rewind times over but still could not do it. We gave up the dream of showing off when school reopened. Some weeks after resumption i over heard some seniors talk about a superstition floating around then,that U have to go bury some coins at the beach before you would be able to do dance like M.J. At last i knew there was hope,after school i met my friends and told them.
They looked puzzled after hearing the news. Bury coins at the beach??, how are we going to do that???? they asked,my wide smile slowly turned into a frown. I guess i got carried away coz come to think of it, non of us received money at that time & even if we did,how were we suppose to tell our parents about our mission at the beach ??. we had our lunch boxes,fruit juice plus our parents paid so we get fed in school too."Mission Impossible 6" lol
The only time i received money was on sundays,that was for offertory and there was no way i could even hide that coz my dad mostly waited till its collection time before pulling out 1 note from his wallet and then march me to the box. I had to wait till Christmas coz i`m 1000000% sure i would get money from relatives who came visiting . Christmas was too far plus even if it wasn`t,i still had 1 problem & that problem was that i lived with a ROMAN TAX COLLECTOR "my mum",my only hope was that they hand me the cash in her absence but no!!!!! what they gave me wasn`t so much but they always wanted my both parents to be around before handing me the cash. Pissed much!!. Its not a Grammy or an Oscar for crying out loud. As usual she waits till they gone,takes the money whiles telling me the exact same story she has been telling me since she resumed office as a ROMAN TAX COLLECTOR. "let me keep it, add more money and buy you your favorite toy". I reluctantly gave it to her but never spared that mean look ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER gave in the COMMANDO movie when he was being put on the plane against his will. "In my mum`s defense,she always bought my toys even when relatives don`t hand me cash"
I gave up the M`J dance dream that Christmas,joining my buddies on the loser bench coz they gave up theirs months earlier. At least that made me the tough guy coz i did not give until all hope was completely lost. After Christmas break we removed our loser tags coz we heard some guys claimed they buried coins and still can`t dance like M`J..lol. Happy again we adopted the new trick of wiping our terrazzo floor clean,pouring dustin powder on it,put on an old sneaker which had less friction and just Moon walk like M`J. Yes!!! we could do the moon walk but at the expense of our mama`s Dustin powders.Guess its true what they say,there is a price you pay for everything.
Today marks M.J`s 2nd anniversary and below are lines from his song, "Will You Be There" which is one of my favorites. He is the King of Pop & i know he is now with "THE KING OF KINGS & THE LORD OF LORDS". May His Soul Rest In Perfect Peace.
In Our Darkest Hour In My Deepest Despair Will You Still Care? Will You Be There? In My Trials And My Tripulations Through Our Doubts And Frustrations In My Violence In My Turbulence Through My Fear And My Confessions In My Anguish And My Pain Through My Joy And My Sorrow In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow I'll Never Let You Part For You're Always In My Heart.
Please feel free to share your M.J memories,I would love to hear Them....
