I Could Have Been Burnt To Death In The Heart of Lagos


The unpleasant news of a child that was burnt to death in Nigeria yesterday took me back to one of my holidays in my fatherland; I guess the trip was in Summer 1990.

Coded Name For Mistress/Paramour is Family Friend


One of the exquisite places in Nigeria then, for sure must be top 5. Being that Isofin Estate was owned by West Africa Portland Cement (WAPCO), the richest cement company in West Africa at the time. It was decorated with everything good you can think of; from swimming pool to tennis court, guest and resident bars, staff quarters, nice greenery, beautiful street lights... it was a place I can call little Spain then, a luxurious mini town. Well equipped, well laid out, neatly planned and sweetly designed. Trust me, I'm thinking of going there to check how it looks like now.

Nigeria's Independence Day: Let It Be A Happy One


Arise, O compatriots
Nigeria's call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom
Peace and unity.

Oh God of creation
Direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right
Help our youth the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace
And justice shall reign.

The Face Behind The Mask: Chief Okey Dyke Ikeme


When we see a gifted person, we know. Actually what I see in Chief Ikeme is not just the gift, but the heart of gold that he has. He believes in giving back to the community, he has been donating  and supporting non profitable organisations and governments for a very long time; he started over 20 years ago in Nigeria, the passion didn't die in him, he continued in Germany, now still in love with what he does in England, by showcasing African Culture and promoting Arts.


Okechukwu D. Ikeme (okey Dyke) a Biafran, was born in Amaigbo in Imo State, Nigeria. His artistic talents and inclinations were discovered in his tender age by his parents who wasted no time in encouraging and sending him to a school where he could pursue the career of his choice - Fine and Applied Arts. He studied Fine and Applied Arts at the Alvan Ikoku College of  Education in Owerri, Imo State, and University of Port Harcourt in Rivers State in Nigeria between 1985 -1992 and specialized in Painting. He showed a lot of enthusiasm and hard work by participating in first Arts and cultural  exhibition in Abuja, Nigeria in 1992 . 
He is a registered artist and the founder and CEO of Creative Corner Gallery Ltd (Nigeria) since 1992. He exhibited his works in Nigeria and some African countries and also in Germany , UK and some European countries . His works are symbolic and speak for the environment. He beliefs that "Art is life and life is art".

He will be masquerading, dancing and drumming at MBE 2016 in Manchester, England.

I Don't Care How You Get Here, Just Get Here If You Can


You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man

"We Have to Run People Who Love Money Too Much Out of Politics: They're a Danger in Politics"


The world's 'poorest' president Jose Mujica of Uruguay, says it just the way it is, and also living the life he describes. A life with passion for humanity, life free of greed and hate, living a charitable life that gives and helps the youth to grow and also help the poor to improve their lives. A man that rejects the symbols of wealth, he lives on a small farm rather than presidential palace with his wife Lucia and their dog Manuela.

The Secret Behind Bribery and Corruption in The Nigeria Police: 'Decent Sinners'


We need to get to the roots of some issues, then we will realise that the innocent ones are the ones that we often point fingers at. The top men and women stay somewhere messing with the lives of the junior ones and paint them as evils, whereas they are the wicked, unruly demons. I'm so glad to meet this hardworking and humble Federal Chief that has passion for his work and love for the community. He doesn't want his name to be mentioned, he humbly called himself a 'decent sinner'.

Have You Ever Wondered Why Nigeria is Still Neck Deep in The Hood? - RKO


Have you ever wondered why Nigeria is still neck deep in the hood? Here are the least of the reasons, Compare and be the judge:
UK
David Cameron resigned on Wednesday, 13.07.16 as the Prime Minister of the UK after 6 years at No 10 Downing Street
He chose to snub the extraordinary exit package granted to predecessors like greedy Tony Blair and deferred pension till he turns 65, 16 years from now
He is expected to get a pay-off of around £20,000 (severance package)
He is also in line for pension of around £40,000 a year (WHEN HE TURNS 65), not before
United Kingdom's GDP is $2.85 trillion which ranks 5th in the world while Nigeria's $481 billion ranks 25th. (At least 6 times bigger than Nigeria's)
He and wife remortgaged their family’s only house (£3.6m Notting Hill home) to raise £800,000 deposit for their post-premiership home (both David and Samantha are children of multimillionaire parents)

Seems Loads of US Police Are On Some Bad Drugs


Each day it's becoming so clear that the majority of the US police are on some bad drugs and seems they have mental troubles that must be treated. How on earth an unarmed innocent human be treated less than an animal, actually I have seen animals being treated with dignity and and love.
