Central Bank of Nigeria, Give Us Our Money Back.


Since Mid-2007 the Central Bank of Nigeria together with the Securities and Exchange Commission ganged-up to forcibly close down a number of Fund Managing firms they had personal vendetta against. Appeal after appeal followed but the Government agencies always bullied and beat down the under-dog firms.
This July makes it exactly two years since the Central Bank Confiscated the investors' monies with these 'renegade' branded firms. However, no attempt has been made by the apex financial institution in Nigeria to return the money to the owners to this day. Sources even have it that the top officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Securities and Exchange Commission have greedily converted these 'un-tagged' monies to their personal use.
How so like them!! Who would be the wiser? Officials daily steal government monies allocated for projects, and no one asks questions here. Who then would ask them about our monies, seeing they have already branded the Fund managers as ' wonder-banks'. Even the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is dead. Or was it ever really alive?!
But as God lives, those monies will be a curse unto them and all their own to a thousand generation unless they pay the monies back to every subscriber of the fund managing firms.

How Our world is Changing


Happenings in our days are taking new turning. People are being replaced. People leaving the world. People passing away.
It's fast becoming another world, with a different set of people coming up. The people who defined the world of an era are fast dieing out and soon it would seem that one does not belong to the time anymore. And this is because all the people by whom we have identified and described our world have all gone!
It's another world with a different
story, with it's own troubles and struggles to face.
Another time is setting in. Oh! how our world is changing.
What a life, life we have seen. Pain unrevealed feeling like water slipping through our fingers. Oh! my life. Oh! my life!

Is Michael really Dead?


How can it be? Has Michael been that sick? But he recently went about planning a show in the UK for 13th July. Isn't that queer? Most people would avoid fixing a show on the 13th, but not Michael. I read that a certain doctor resigned from his practice to give Michael full time care eleven days to 25th June. Michael was really ill then. It could not have just started. The ailment. Had he known he was going to die? If Michael was so sick, how did he imagine he could do the planned show? Typically Michael, was he hoping to die on stage, like Jimi or Elvis. Or has it happened exactly the way he wanted it to? To sell out tickets for a 'good-bye' show with the whole world expectant and focusing attention on him, and then 'poof' he goes and dies.
It's like a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing... as Shakespeare would say. Suddenly, Michael is gone and it's as if he never was. Matter-of-factly, I would say Michael stopped living when his music stopped occupying centre spot in the industry. And I think that happened a long while ago!
Well, Michael, angel, do rest in peace. Oh, may it please God to welcome you home.

About Obama Being ' Whitish ' !

Hi, sorry I did not realize my last blog post could be objectionable to some people.
That goes to confirm that everybody won't necessarily see things the way we see them.
Really I was expressing the impression I got from my location, which I concede is rather limited in view of the fact that my source was mainly CNN footage.
I have a friend, my country man, there in the U S A who has told me that Mr Obama actually has been doing the rounds to everywhere. Meaning he has been going to all communities. This is very good to know and I am deeply sorry for any bad feeling he has had as a result of my writing.


However, even such misguided writings as my post have their use too. My Bro is not supposed to sit relaxed in the notion that things are going on well. Things have to go exceptionally well for bro Obama. From how I see America now Obama has to deliver to the level that he'd be toasted at the end of it all. He cannot afford to be one of the guys. Obama has to be the guy!

Why, isn't Obama looking rather white these days!!??

Well, well, well!!! Isn't Barak Obama looking rather white these days. And why not, bro! Everywhere I see Barak he is swarmed by white people. Aren't there other colors in America?
Barak should watch against being made a president for the whites alone. Barak should not be afraid to take his 'talking rounds' to black communities, especially, and to the other non-white communities. He better not end up like Michael Jackson. For he cannot hide from the fact that he is a black man.
There'd be those whites who'd attempt to tailor Barak to become white-like, so they'd be comfortable with the idea of him being their number one citizen. He should be smart not to fall for it. Yes, he is a president for all of America, so he should be to all Americans, particularly to the blacks. And that's the reality whether Barak likes to agree or not!!!!
Barak Obama should be himself and operate from his heart, not necessarily from his head. He's got nothing to lose. This chance may never come to a black man in America again in a long time to come after Obama.
So Bro Barak, make your reign in the 'whitehouse' memorable. Make it count for all Americans. Don't be straight-jacketed into the usual civil-service political routines. You cannot afford to waste your tenor as president playing the ropes!
