Word for the day

Yesterday @church, I heard some news that made goose bump  take charge of my body . In life, you might think your situation is very bad but until you hear other stories then you might not know that your situation is nothing compared to what people younger have experienced. In any situation you find yourself, always give thanks to God. Some of us get angry or even insult our parents when they dont get you that designer bag or trainers or that new mobile phone whereby some people out there are just seeking that parental love. And to some parents, the way they know how to show love is buying you cloths, paying your bills and providing shelter for you but love is more than that. Communication and advice is one of the most important thing to give your children  because that s what they need more above any other thing. I dont blame the parents because they learnt from their parents that the way of showing love is by buying stuff for their kids and providing shelter for them. You cannot give what you dont have. A teacher cannot teach his student what he/she does not know and the same goes for our parents. They give us what their parents gave to them . In reference to an article I wrote sometime ago, the same goes for kids that have kids. You cannot give or teach your child what you dont have or what you dont know. For example a girl from an early age always sees her father coming back home drunk and always hitting the mum and not doing his manly duties like providing for his family. She might grow up thinking that all men are just like her father if her mother does not sit her down and tell her that everyone is different.  When this young lady finally grows up, she might not respect men because of her past experience and if she has kids, she will end up telling them that men are this and that because she is giving them what she has. A little thing can make a big difference in a generation. In this our generation and the generation to come, children with good manners are going to be as rare as Gold but we can all make a difference. Parents make time out for your kids, listen and communicate with them. They need that most
P.s: This is from my personal point of view

CORRUPTION

We all say that poverty is a disease. Quite frankly, i agree but the question we should ask is what causes poverty? Poverty can be as a result of laziness or as a result of something else. But the major thing that causes or brings poverty in most third world countries is nothing else than corruption. Look at the world today, what do you see? corruption everyday and everywhere even in the western world or developed countries and also very rampant and enormous in developing or third world countries. In most countries of the world, corruption is the other of the day. Corruption is when the budget of a full nation is shared and divided among some particular individuals just because they are the rulers of that nation. Corruption is when a country that is the fourth largest oil producing country of the world cannot even boast of basic life amenities for her citizens. I look forward to the day when an ordinary man in Nigeria without no connection or influence in the government house will apply for a proper job and be successful. I look forward to the day when i can proudly tell my unborn children how corruption was eradicated from my land. I look forward to the day when i don`t have to bribe someone to get to the top. I look forward to the day when the word "Poverty" will be a thing of the past. I look forward to the day when joy and happiness will be all we know in Nigeria. The change is going to come that i know but when, that i do not know. it might take some few years but i know things will surely get better in my land. I weep everyday when i see the deteriorating state of my country . God help Nigeria, God help West africa, God help Africa, God help the world.

My next article will be about Nigerian scammers

17yr old footballer (who looks a lot older) quits social media after abuse

This Lazio player pictured above says he's 17 years old and no one believes him. Joseph Minala from Cameroon was forced to shut down his instagram and Facebook accounts following abuse over his age. People think he is a guy in his 30s claiming to be 17.

The midfielder tried to convince his followers that he didn't lie about his age by sharing a pic of his passport which showed his birth date on his instagram page but that didn't convince anyone. The abuse continued and he was forced to shut down his instagram page. He also filtered out Twitter pictures of himself and deleted his Facebook profile.

"Envy is the weakness of man, and those with a poor soul hurt others when you are in Serie A. Love you! Forza Lazio." Joseph tweeted after deleting his Facebook page.

Minala joined the Italian giants in December 2013..

How Iyanya Lied About His N150million Endorsement Deal With Lenovo

Culled from Dailypost;

New report surfacing online has revealed that Iyanya Mbuk’s alleged N150million deal with Tech Company, Lenovo is a mere media stunt. 

Five days ago, the music star announced that he had bagged an endorsement deal, with yet another tech company, Lenovo by posting a photo of him holding a Levono tablet. NET investigations show that the Pop singer’s purported endorsement deal might be totally fabricated.

“New Product!!! New Ambassador!!! Brand Ambassador!!!! Lenovo!!!! Iyanya!!!! 

Task Direct 2014 Started #triplemg’.” He had revealed.

Iyanya’s Manager, Ubi Franklin further confirmed the report saying ‘It’s true, it cost about N150 to N170 million and the duration is for 24 months’”

Recent findings by NET however claim otherwise.

“We contacted Lenovo’s HQ in South Africa who then directed us to a rep in Nigeria named Mr Olumide. Lenovo SA also say they are not aware of the deal. Olumide told our Editors over the phone that he was not aware of any signing with Iyanya and told us to call back.

‘I can’t really say on that. I don’t know anything; I don’t know who he is. Honestly, I don’t know anything, maybe you should call him and ask him yourself’, Olumide told our correspondent over the telephone.” The news portal revealed.

Furthermore, a source in Iyanya’s Triple MG camp says ‘There’s no signing, Iyanya is just trying to bounce some hype around and get some mentions online, which he did”

Sochi torchbearer desperately tries to explain racist Obama tweet

Torchbearer Irina Rodnina must have thought that lighting the Olympic cauldron for the Sochi Games would be one of the highlights of her career, but instead it has embroiled the three-time gold medallist in an international race row.
Rodnina, who won gold medals in figure skating in Sapporo in 1972, Innsbruck in 1976 and Lake Placid in 1980, became one of the figureheads of the Winter Games when, in conjunction with former ice hockey star Vladislav Tretiak, she set alight the Olympic flame.
But perhaps fittingly for a Winter Olympics shrouded in controversy over issues of discrimination, it has now come to light that Rodnina was once involved in a racism row after posting a deeply offensive picture of US President Barack Obama.
The offending tweet came back in September when Rodnina, who is an MP with Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party, posted a doctored photo of a chewing Obama alongside his wife, Michelle, with a banana in the foreground.
An unrepentant Rodnina then posted: "Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, and you should answer for your own hang-ups.”
Her actions drew stinging criticism from US ambassador Michael McFaul (below) before the controversy died down and Rodnina was free to go about her business in the Duma, the Russian parliament.
However, after her star turn at the Sochi opening ceremony, the row has erupted once more and this time Rodnina has changed her tune, claiming that she was hacked and apologising for not explaining the chain of events clearly enough.
So was her account hacked, or, as she claimed back in September, is it the case that she believes "freedom of speech is freedom of speech"?
Either way, after a build up to the Games which focused intently on Russia's anti-gay laws, this is yet another unwelcome headache for the Sochi organisers.
