Women Development and the English Language

She was shivering and weeping...
She needs an interpreter to explain to the doctor how much pain she is feeling and when last she felt it... Looking tensed and in-pain, she screams in her dialect, "I am in pain!!!..." (translated).
The lady by her side understood that language and transferred the screamed message to the doctor...
What if that woman by her side wasn't there to interpret her language to the doctor? I know how

Happy Thanksgiving

#ManyThanks #MyThanksgiving

Its amazing how time flies, and how much I have been able to gather in the shortest period of time...

Each moment and each passing time, I try to hold my SMILE in the face of difficulty and pain...

I reminisce about how my journey and step in life have been; not trying to impress anyone with words and lies, but every now and then, I try to impress and be truthful to myself. Truth is, I have so much to be thankful for than to grumble over...

People who know me, I mean know me, know that I wasn't born with a silver spoon, hence, I'm trying to build my diamond spoon.

I'm not where I want to be, I'm on the road though, but I'm not where I used to be... This is not achieved through my accord, but by God Almighty through Jesus Christ (the author and finisher of my Faith- the WORD of God) and through my parents, Mr and Mrs Richard, my siblings; Yemisi, Wale and Dupe and my elder brother Engineer Ayodele (these set of people remain with me through thick and thin). I thank my closest cousins, Segun and Bunmi Lebi for supports granted me.
I want to thank my Fiancee, Ola Oluwapelumi, her sisters and parents Elder and Mrs Ola, they too have been supportive.

Special thanks goes out to my relatives and friends, for keeping it real with me and most times taking all my bullshits. Thank You.

To those of you that have been in one business or the other with Glitz Plus Entertainment, thank you for working with me. We are certainly going somewhere, we are not giving up because there is a whole lot to fix in our world today.

Happy thanksgiving day and have a great and fulfilled day.

#SayNoToDomesticAbuse: A Call To Action

A Grid Picture of the victim, between marriage and brutality
This got me, this story I'm about to write is just one in a million cries for help amidst some relationships and marriages. Nigeria, a country still building her 'democracy', still have a long way to go in providing laws that protect the generality of people occupying its geographical space, irrespective of their age, sex and gender. Stringent laws need to be enacted to

#KogiDecides - A Short Experience on Nigeria Election (#INEC)

#KogiDecides
From my experience as a PO at Ilorin, Kwara State, in the last General Election; some of these Collation Officers are confused. You hear someone say, how can your Total Vote Cast be lesser than the Accredited Voters? Like I should go and drag people from their houses to come cast their vote abi? What should be their concern, is that Votes Cast shouldn't be more than Accredited voters. In as much as we shouldn't disenfranchise anyone, there are instructions on the commencement of voting process and closing of such process.
Also, in as much as security operatives

On #Biafra and #Nigeria

J.F.K.
Had a gathering of Entrepreneurs a month ago, at the Lagos Business School, V/I outlet. The guest speaker, Mr Uzo Nwagwu, COO of General Electric in West Africa, spoke on the Opportunities in the Oil and Gas Sector, he never spoke of Biafra or wished Nigeria was not whole as it is. I listened to him say good things about the Northern part of Nigeria and how he enjoyed his growing up there and

#Regrets or #Thanksgiving...

While I am still feeling the pain and regrets of loosing my laptop, Phone and modem, to the act of burglary, when I was serving my fatherland in Kwara State, barely a month before I left service. I felt I was hated and forgotten by God to have allowed such thing to have befalling me His Favourite Son (despite my shortcomings). Despite the fact that the

Why This 'Hate' Message from Ben Carson?

Personally, America do not practice true-democracy, until they do away with religious and racial hate. This is why I 'fell in love' with St. John Paul(formerly known as, Pope John Paul II), with the kind of life he led, embracing Christians and Muslims alike, seeing us as one in the almighty lens of God.
These same republicans will be the ones so quick to legalise and embrace homosexuality but will reject other religion, even the ATR!!! Its sad really.

Read Carson's excerpt below;

In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," Carson, a retired brain surgeon who often refers to his own deep Christian faith, was asked whether a president's religion should matter.

"I guess it depends on what that faith is. If it's inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the constitution, no problem," he said.

Asked whether he believes Islam is consistent with the US constitution, he responded: "No, I don't. I do not."

"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," he added.

TO OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS WHO FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM

The effect of terrorism is in great magnitude (a negative effect to say the least). Its effect can not be compared to the effect of war at all. The world as experienced so many wars and consciously don't wish to experience such again.

The #UN Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs) and My Reservation(s)

Photo: Richard Oluseye (Roluseye)
Have you heard of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global goal, taking over from MDGs on the 1st of Jan. 2016... As we might argue, MDGs was actually for the broke/poor countries like Nigeria, India, Malaysia, etc. Nigeria practically failed in achieving the goals except achieving a bit of the goal, which states 'combating HIV/AIDs and other diseases' (we combated #Ebola) and tried to priorities

WERE POLICE EVER OUR FRIENDS…A TALE OF INSANITY IN A SANE STATE




If she were shot-dead by a white cop, we would have said it was an act of racism... In short, why am I saying this, if the same scene which happened some days ago, where a gang of police officers intimidated the people they swore an oath to protect, if it had ensued abroad or south Africa, we would have joyfully looked for a name to brand that deed; xenophobia, racism and the likes. Nigerian Police have being acting in a state of impunity for a very long time(no apologies to my police folks) and it is high-time something is done about it.

But this ugly incidence happened right here and nobody is saying anything. It even happened in Lagos. The victim was an Igbo family and

No One Ever Said The Road Was Going To Be Easy(HNM)

ALL MINISTRIES ARE EQUAL AND SHOULD BE UPRIGHT- THE ROAD TO ACHIEVING #SDGs




This certainly is not the time to start comparing and contrasting who is more significant among the cabinet members sworn-in on the 11th of November, 2015, by President Buhari of Nigeria. Nigerians have taken to social media to swell the head of some of the appointees that they have the best portfolio and the likes.
Let's look at some of the various ministries and their import and why you should not undermine them...

Transportation is important in any nation before you can say a meaningful development has occurred. People must be able to move goods and self to one place and another in a convenient possible way. Be it air, land or water, it must be safe and cheap.
