BETWEEN BARACK OBAMA AND GOODLUCK JONATHAN

While President Obama is Honouring Medal of Freedom recipients, GEJ is giving Nigerians something else to talk about, renaming UNILAG..... Can't we just experience that one Little moment of Inspiration???? it is plain annoying.
 
Incase you didn't know,The Medal of Freedom is the nation's highest civilian honor. It's presented to individuals who have made meritorious contributions to the national interests of the United States, to world peace or to other significant endeavors.
President Obama is honoring a diverse group of political and cultural icons, including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, astronaut John Glenn and rock legend Bob Dylan, with the Medal of Freedom at the White House.
Obama said the honorees have moved Americans with their words and inspired them with their actions.
Other honorees include Tennessee basketball coach Pat Summitt, former Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens and author Toni Morrison.

This is NIGERIA....things are different.


KIM K TO GET FIRST TATOO WITH KANYE

Kimye going strong! do you believe this?

News, i am hearing right now saysHollywooLlife.com  has spoken to a source who says that Kim and Kanye want to get permanent ink in order to express how in love they are... What people do for love.
“Kim and Kanye have been talking about getting tattoos,” the source tells HollywoodLife.com. “Kanye wants Kim to get a ‘K’ to symbolize both of their names. But she might even get "KW"

This could be another media/attention stunt.....but we will see how it goes!  They really know how to grab media attention and they are loving it. I hope they have the energy to keep up with all these media stunt....they should enjoy it while it last.

HAFSAT ABIOLA CASTILLO RESPONDS TO UNILAG NAME CHANGE

Mrs Abiola-Costello  in Abeokuta, the hometown of the late MKO ABIOLA, commented on President Jonathan’s announcement.

In an interview with journalists in the Ogun state capital, she urged the federal government to give more priority to reduce the prevailing poverty level in the country, than naming schools and roads.
“What I want to say to President Jonathan is that what we can do to honour the heroes past is to make sure that they do not die in vain.”
According to her, “Nigerian people are still poor, majority of them are poor today, even more so than in 1993 when he (MKO Abiola) won his election and I hope that President can apply himself to addressing poverty in Nigeria.”
“That is the most important thing, more than naming school, naming roads. Those things are nice but the true benefit for my father is that Nigeria people should not be poor anymore” she stated.

I hope GEJ listens to her comments on Poverty!

KATE MIDDLETON RECYCLES HER DRESS.....NO BIG DEAL.

It is a good thing celebrities recycles thier dresses......The rest of us do it and its no big deal. So if Kate Middleton recycles her dress 11 days later, then its not really a big deal. She is a human being, she is not being thrifty, she is just being normal like the rest of us and being normal rocks!



Kate once told a friend: "Times are tough -- I cannot be expected to wear a new outfit for every royal engagement. I am not a fashion model." 

I AGREE!

SELE ERADIRI .....REST IN PEACE

Most people will remember her from NTA Newsline  especially with her edgy broadcasting and witty reporting skills.... Ms. Eradiri died at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital early this morning (May 29th, 2012). Eradiri had been laying sick at LUTH after her condition deteriorated shortly after returning from a successful surgery in India a few months ago. I still remember the LateTokunbo Ajayi.... NTA looses another gem.
 WE will miss her....REST IN PEACE!

UNILAG TO BE NAMED MOSHOOD ABIOLA UNIVERSITY?

NIGERIA!!!! what is wrong with the name UNILAG? how will that further improve the educational standard of UNILAG? The popular UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS known for producing many successful graduates will now be named MKO ABIOLA UNIVERSITY.  The President, Goodluck Jonathan said today in his braodcast.

Is this a way to honour the Late CHIEF MOSHOOD ABIOLA or a way to boost democracy???? i am waiting for how students will react. This will surely not go down welll..... I like the name UNILAG; it carries some elements of SWAG!  I doubt if the students were consulted (This is NIGERIA, who cares how they feel?).

With the challenges Nigeria is facing, i don't know how a change of name will help us in anyway...another Nigeria thing. He should have named UNIJOS after YAKUBU GOWON.... Congrats to AKOKITES.....what do i say?
