Governor Fashola Says: Nigerians Are Too Difficult To Please
![]() |
Gov. Fashola. coutesy google |
At the St Saviour’s Anglican Church, Tafawa Balewa Square, Marina, Lagos,
southwest Nigeria during the church’s 32nd Synod. Fashola lamented that people
complained too much instead of helping the government to solve the problems at
hand.
“Nigerians
are very difficult people to please. He gave an example of when Nigerians
were complaining of incessant harassment by policemen at checkpoints, they were
dismantled by the Inspector General of Police. The same Nigerians are now
complaining that the absence of the checkpoints have aided the free operation
of criminals on the roads.
He said “The same scenario is playing out on the issue of ban by the police
of the indiscriminate use of tinted glasses by motorist, which has been
taken advantage of by criminals. The people are now accusing the police of being
highhanded on the issue,”
He added that “In the last week, the number of lives that have been lost to
violence and insecurity must bring any serious people into a sense of sobriety
and a very serious question about what direction our country is heading,”.
He is right, in a way! Man is difficult to please, and we complain too much instead of giving meaningful
advice to resolve the situation at hand. As for the tinted glass issue, my own is
that the politicians and the high state officers should first stop using
tinted glasses and Nigerians will follow suit.
They should lead by example, and
walk the talk.
I complain too much chei? ;-)

When Black Celebs Becomes White By- Emerald Pellot
I came across this post and need to here what your take is. She noticed that black celebs suddenly or overtime turn white when they get a space in the sky (Star)! So read her article and lets hear your take.

I
am quite sick of this shiz. I hate when celebrities get famous and slowly but
surely lighten their skin. They do this in a lot of ways, with actual bleaching
products, wearing extremely light foundation or with Photoshop. Look, I am not
going to debate about the politics of brown women wearing a weave or sporting
your natural hair texture (that’s another conversation).
It is worrisome to me when
brown people begin to alter their appearance to look more Anglo. If you notice
when people get nose jobs it isn’t to widen or round their noses it’s always to
have traditionally Anglo noses. Is it because my nose is ugly? Folk that shift.
When
people of color become blonder, whiter and narrow out their facial features to
look more “beautiful” or more “glamorous” it sends the message that in order to
look beautiful and glamorous you have to abandon all those wonderful
features that expose your “ethnicness.”
How many famous black actresses or
singers are dark skinned in proportion to lighter skinned? How many have afros?
How many have wide noses? The pressure to look a certain way in Hollywood
exists for everyone regardless of race and especially for women.
See pictures of some celeb pictures cited.
A US military plane just 'crashed' in Kyrgyzstan
I just read that a US military refuelling plane has caught fire in mid air
and crashed near the border between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
The aircraft took off from the US military transit centre on Friday at
Kyrgyzstan's Manas airport, which US forces maintain for operations in
Afghanistan, the Interfax news agency reported.
The plane, used for inflight refuelling, disappeared from radar screens at
3:10 pm (0910 GMT), as it flew near the Kyrgyz village of Chaldovar, the ministry
said.
An official responsible for the southern Kyrgyz province of Chuisk, where
Chaldovar is located said that “(The plane) caught fire in the air and
crashed,"
Officials did not say how many people were on board, it is also reported that
US staff at the US transit centre declined to comment.
The Manas base is used to transport US personnel in and out of Afghanistan
and has been used by other international forces fighting in the country.

Former Governor Ibori Fails At An Attempt To Secure An Early Release!
Former Delta State Governor James Ibori lawyers
made an attempt to secure an early release from Her Majesty Prison (HMP),
Little Lartin, United Kingdom (UK), this failed on Thursday.
Three Court judges, Lord Justice Treacy, Mr.
Justice Edward -Stuart and the Recorder of Leeds Appeal threw out his case at
the Royal Courts of Justice at the Strand, said they were convinced that Ibori
deserved the 13-year jail term which he got at Southwark Crown Court at the
hands of Judge Anthony Pitts in April 2013.
“The judgment is wholly appropriate,” the court
ruled, just before 1.00 p.m. after the lead judge had taken about an hour to
read how they arrived at their verdict to a fully packed court, consisting
mainly of Ibori’s kinsmen from the London branch of Oghara Clan Union.
The judges even said that Pitts had been “too
generous” to give Ibori enough discounts to the effect that he actually got
just four years and about six months - out of which he had already
spent a little over a year.
As the reality of the verdict dawned on Ibori’s
people, numbering over 20 (including an elderly woman of about 60, wearing a
“free Ibori” T-shirt), they had long faces and started filing outside the
Courtroom Seven, discussing in hushed tones.
Gets interesting...

U.S Visa Lottery Programme To Be Scraped In 2017
It’s no news that United States (U.S.) has plans to reform its immigration
laws. The news is that this will eliminate the green card lottery.
Around 100,000 people were Wednesday picked from several million who applied
to get the Green Card. This could be the last batch of the yearly lottery.
The system that will replace it in 2017 will be merit-based and will also
give Africans a chance.
Although
so many opine that Africans could
be the big losers owing to the fact that they are the main beneficiaries of the
visa programme.
The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People said the
number of African immigrants would go down even with the merit-based system.
“In essence, we’re concerned,” said Hilary Shelton, the NAACP Washington bureau
director.
Na wa o!
