Seasons come and go,so does Kings and their reigns.One major certainty of life remains that,a 'coming', inevitably suggests a 'going'.Our minds and nomenclatural identities, are part of our possessions that can never be taken away from us,regardless of our carelessness or lack of sapience. The others are subject to how we guard and keep them.

Albeit some parts of the world still practice ancestral leadership, that not withstanding,it remains subject to replacement.Kings arise,seeming infallible, but then are overrun by their own incredulity and oversight. The current world powers, were some centuries ago,not properly heard.From the world of Philosophy, Economics and so forth,it will be established that the Greek world was in global dominance,but are today,dutifully trying to find their feet.This instance, sure sends a message.

"THERE WAS A COUNTRY",a book by veteran but departed writer, CHINUA ACHEBE,brought about a stir,based on its background. But the recognition it got,certifies its quality. This isn't an issue of Biafra now,but one thing is sure,THERE WAS A COUNTRY.

This many will interpret in various manners but then,there was a country that operated on acceptable ethics and norms.This reflected in the way the people was governed,and in the demeanor of her leaders.The word 'orderliness',was not spelt but experienced, at least in a relative manner.

That country that existed, had a constitution, that practically bound both the 'fortunate' and 'unfortunate' nationals.References were sincerely made to it.And it was evident, in the modus operandi,of the political office holders.Amidst the theoretical constitution, in that nation now exist cabals,who impugn her fellow compatriots,with abysmal impudence. Their lies,bravado,'tyranny' et all,knows no limit.

The country I heard of,used to be the pride of her continent.At its roar,its neighbours gave way.When it sneezes,the rest caught cold.To my utmost dismay,that nation is being brought side by side,with neighbors that ought to tremble at its presence.Derogatory references are now being made to her.

That country is now being manned like a conglomerate, by the 'fortunate few'.Handing over the batons to their offsprings and their likes.While rest of the nationals,moan like unpaid stewards.Yet,promises are being heaped.

In that country that once existed,the younger generation had trust and belief in it,but now their dreams are just mere mirage.

Leaders of that nation, had known and proven histories.Almost nothing about them was covert,except their undies.But leaders of that nation that took over,are with histories too much to be penned down.

In the words of Martin Luther,"I SEE THE PROMISELAND",but I'm apprehensive as to whether the captains of our ship will take us there.I wish to wake up,to behold the nation,I heard of.

This is a shame and it's indeed, uncalled for

ruggedboy01: •Number of aspirants increase as Buhari, Atiku,
Okorocha, Kwankwaso, Saraki battle for slot
GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State is
warming up to join the 2015 presidential race.
He is expected to slug it out with former Vice-
President Atiku Abubakar, Senator Bukola Saraki,
Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), and Governor
Rochas Okorocha (Imo) as well as former military
Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari for the
ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gen. Buhari and Senator Bukola Saraki, are yet to
officially declare their interest in the contest.
More members of the party may show interest in due
course, according to party sources.
Governor Oshiomhole, it was gathered, has already
completed consultations at home and abroad on his
aspiration.
He was in the United Kingdom and the United States
of America (USA) recently as part of the
consultations.
He is said to have received encouragement to join
the race from friends, including foreigners who have
followed his switch from labour to politics and
governance.
His backers are convinced that Oshiomhole stands a
good chance of making it to Aso Rock Villa since the
PDP has conceded its own ticket slot to President
Goodluck Jonathan from the Southsouth.
They are of the view that the choice of Oshiomhole
might serve as a counter-balancing force to Jonathan
in the zone should the APC concede the slot to the
Southsouth.
But there is a snag: the recent election of Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun from the same zone as the party’s
National Chairman.
A source familiar with the development said
Oshiomhole has been “looking at the larger picture
and not geopolitical calculation.”
“The comrade governor, is considering the need for a
leader to salvage the nation rather than any other
calculation,” the source said.
“This is why he has been meeting with leaders at
home and abroad on his aspiration and how to
rescue the nation. He has concluded consultations
and he is of the strong opinion that he should vie for
the office.
“The governor is interested in the presidential race.
He will make his intention known soon. As a former
labour leader, he believes he has a bigger
constituency to lead the APC to victory in 2015 if he
gets the ticket.
“The governor will make a declaration as soon as the
APC releases the guidelines in line with INEC’s
timetable.”
The governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Prince
Kassim Afegbua, confirmed the interest of his boss in
the Presidency.
He said: “This has always been our interest because
some of us would not want the Comrade Governor to
squander his enormous political capital across the
country without giving a shot at the highest office in
the land. He has tremendous courage, brilliance and
capacity to contend with developmental issues in the
country; ingredients that are presently needed to
provide problem-solving leadership at the center.
“Give it to this great former Labour leader that he is
one Nigerian who believes so much in the unity of
the country and is ready to go to any length to
preserve that unity.
“Nigerians need a leader like Comrade Oshiomhole
at this time to galvanize all the centrifugal and
centripetal forces into a national aspiration to lift the
country from its present prostrate state to some kind
of Olympian height in a clear headed attempt to earn
our cherished position amongst nations of the
world.”
He added, “He will wait for the party to blow the
whistle but he will test his presidential participation
through the primaries. It will be our hope that the
members of the APC consider him worthy of this
noble cause in the build-up to the 2015 elections. To
answer your question, yes, he will contest.”

If this is anything to go by,then disunity is being brewed,a divison,possibly a new party!

Nigerian politics, so dramatic

[quote author=justuwa4]
CONTROVERSIAL and down-to-earth Nollywood actor, Benson Okonkwo has bagged another sexiest man award after winning the first runner-up prize of the Vanguard’s Sexiest in Nollywood 2013. The One Dollar star who is fondly called Mr Packaging by fans, took the Karis Award crown after beating fellow actors; Ken Erics, Muna Obiekwe and Walter Anga.

The actor who spoke with Weekend Groove after clinching the crown said more awards will come his way.

“Well, it’s not a new thing. I have always been sexy and I know it. I started modelling before acting. I started modelling at the age of 16. I have always been admired by the public and that’s what makes me stand out. The confidence I have today is from my being sexy and I have a lovely and beautiful mum that I look like, so I got the beauty from her.

Even when I was in school, I have always won awards for being the sexiest. So this is something I am used to. I have also won a prize as Vanguard’s sexiest actor. And now Karis Media sexiest actor and more awards will come. Because to me, if I am to say it and I will say it again; I am Nigeria’s sexiest man”. The sexiest actor contest organised by Karis Media was a concept of Vanguard newspaper and it started in 2008 with Jim Iyke and Genevieve Nnaji winning in the male and female categories respectively.
