Whoever is behind EFCC Nigeria's twitter handle deserve a raise

Quite so often, civil service jobs in Nigeria can be so routine and not tasking that some people even feel it is a place for people that really don't want to task their brains, but then there are a few that actually stand out, the likes of Nuhu Ribadu , and co I think the person behind this Twitter handle also deserves a mention, or probably he or she is in the wrong profession.

So as we begin this working week today, there is a statement we hear so often when we ask people about things they've done and quite often we hear "I've done my best" this statement is so limiting because most of the times this isn't true, it comes from just being lazy, although in English language it's actually

Mr. Eazi - The Hollup singer that won the Next rated artiste award at the Headies, was in trouble over his statement ," “Nigeria Ghanaian music’s influence on Nigerian music cannot be over-emphasized.”  This of course was a hard pill to swallow for his Nigerian fans which felt the statement was inappropriate considering the rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria, although he has apologized on micro blogging website twitter.

Well according to the information on the MMM website they have opened, but with several conditions, but like your favourite Candy store with "Now Open" but we are on break or something similar.


when you click GH your order will be processed but you won't be matched automatically as was the case before the freeze probably they are waiting for people to provide help or PH, in the mean time,
while MMM was away several Ponzi schemes have taken shape and promising even better returns, some of which are



TWINKAS - 200%
GHW - 50%
Giversforum - 3% daily currently
Greenspeer - promising 1 Million naira with a donation of 5000 naira after several  months

Pictures kids who grew up in Nigeria in the 90's will relate to

Growing up in Nigeria in the 90's was quite tough, then there were no mobile phones, Television and Video machines was a luxury for the upper middle class and elite, most TV sets were black and white and most often power supply was a problem, kids had to keep busy and probably invented games to keep busy after school some of these games will be written down here while others things that will make you remember your childhood if you grew up in Nigeria will also be uploaded here. This is a work in progress as such, whenever we remember more stuff and we can get pictures of them, we will upload.

1.Canter ball- Probably the kind of all games for male kids, this involved a full squad of players with a goal post and a goal keeper, we really got creative with the goal keepers after a while, the ball could be any round object or after a while we started using the white stuff in radio cassette.

Monday Inspirational (Uphill motion )

Weekly Inspirational

I have decided that I will be inspiring people every Monday of the week, immediately you step out or before you step out of your house you can always come to this blog to get an inspirational post for the week.

Today's inspirational post is about (Uphill motion)

Recently I was made to drive a manual (stick) vehicle, it is an old Peugeot car, although I learned to drive using a 504 Peugeot after that, I ditched driving manual vehicles and for many years I have only practiced using automatic vehicles, so this was quite a challenge, having to recall what I learned earlier and trying to practice again. I noticed that it wasn't so difficult when the road was smooth or the ground was level, like with anything in life, when things are going smoothly we tend to take things for granted, until I had to join a connecting road, and there was a slope, immediately I approached the slope, the car started to make a different sound and before I could say "jack" the vehicle went off, just like with life, I had a passenger in the vehicle, immediately he started contributing, yelling and dishing out instructions, whenever you  face difficulties in life, you'll have people advising you left, right and center, but remember you are in the driving sit of your life and as such , you are the one calling the shots, don't allow people make those big decisions for you. You may regret it later on in life.

Things you must do when things seem tough.

1. Re-access your current situation
2. Plan and learn the technique to enable you overcome the obstacle
3. Be determined.
4. Execute with conviction and believe
5. Reward yourself after you overcome.


Don't give up, whenever you face an obstacle, probably what it needs is more force, more acceleration, more work, more effort and you surely will overcome.
