I love my country.

I am proud to be Nigerian and will say it anywhere.Call it a country full of criminals and swindlers at every level.Call it a country where corruption is a virtue and looting is celebrated.A country where human lords hold sway in positions of power and dictate the pace of the people.A country,I believe has the greatest number of religious people in the world,yet represent so much evil.A country where senators are sworn in to become sinnators.A country where democracy means a government of the "chosens" by the "choicemakers" for the "not chosen",an era for embezzlement and free license to oppress the people.A country where unemployment is the order of the day and the basic needs of lives are luxuries for more than half of the citizens.Well,call what you will...I love my country,I no go lie!

It will interest you to know that in thesame country Nigeria,there abounds several people who do not just crave for but are working towards a permanent change to the endless list of evil which seems to be plaguing a blessed country like Nigeria.There are men and women who have contributed immensely to the height of Nigeria today.People whom Nigerians and the world at large are proud to identify with.In Nigeria,we have good schools,we have well equipped hospitals,we have good water and great mineral resources.Though the infrastructures may not be enough for the teeming population,we have them in any case.So something good can come out of Nigeria afterall!.

I know that even the most liberal of critics may discuss the hopelessness of the Nigerian situation,albeit in private.There is still hope.As long as there is life,we must continue counting on the brightness of tomorrow.While discussing with my colleagues yesterday,I came close to saying that the country should be didvided because with every point raised,I seemed to think more of hopelessness than ever.Well one could ask:Is division the ideal solution to the Nigerian situation?Why not,another could answer:how in God's world can a country with over two hundred ethnic groups and languages stick together as a country?and yet another opines:But we have been together for fifty years now so why can't we keep sticking together?The questions could go on and on,you know,like I'm sure you have yours right now!.

I love my country Nigeria and would tell anyone who cares to listen.As a Nigerian,I have decided never to litter my environment,change any figure in my office,urinate in the street,beat traffic light,bribe the police,cheat wether in an examination or in the market but to help the poor and needy,vote during elections,care for the sick and love my neighbour.Come,join me,lets make Nigeria a better place for all of us.Let the change start from you!I pledge to Nigeria my country to be faithful loyal and honest...so help me God!

Longest Nails on the Planet!

This is Christine Walton from Las Vegas -- who has the world's longest fingernails measuring a freaky 19ft 9in (601.9cm).She has set a record in Guiness world book of records. That's 10ft 2in (309.8cm) on her left hand and 9ft 7in (292.1cm) on her right hand and the 45-year-old singer says she hasn’t cut her fingernails since 1990. Christine insists the nails don’t prevent her from living a normal life; she can still braid hair, cook and drive, however, she does confess to struggling when shopping for clothes: "I’ll see the cutest shirts, and they’ll have these skinny arms and I know that my nails would just rip straight through them, she said. "I never made a conscious decision to grow the nails, but with all my children and the music commitments I guess it was easier to let the nails grow," she added, "Then one day I look down and they’re like 9 inches long!" Her current length of the fingernails are the equivalent length of a killer whale; two...

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...
