The 7 Stages of Grieving a Breakup

Desperate for Answers - The drive to know is consuming and can come at the expense of rational thoughts and behaviors, they start holding meetings at odd hours and demand paths of allegiance from the participants.

Denial - They whip out there mouthpieces and media machinery into high gear to counter and deflect attention.

It can't be true - They laugh off SaharaReporters and other's expose

Bargaining - They are willing to give anything to avoid accepting it's over excluding the presidency.

Relapse - They head back to vicious and outright lies and propaganda

Anger - Even more vicious lies and brain-numbing propaganda plus the EFCC, Police and other institutions of government like the FIRS and FSARS and non-starters actors like NTA, TVC and the Nation are unleashed at perceived defectors and saboteurs.

Then in 2019 - We kick them the hell out.

Politics / If Only by rico73(m): 10:38pm On Jul 31, 2018
It's no longer news that the Senate president has left the troubled direction less boat of APC.
And while leaving he made some valid point in my view which I hope and think everyone should consider.

"Never before had so many people in so many parts of our country felt so alienated from their Nigerianness. Therefore, we understand that the greatest task before us is to reunite the county and give everyone a sense of belonging regardless of region or religion.
Every Nigerian must have an instinctive confidence that he or she will be treated with justice and equity in any part of the country regardless of the language they speak or how they worship God. This is the great task that trumps all. Unless we are able to achieve this, all other claim to progress no matter how defined, would remain unsustainable"

He went on to give reasons on why he chose his former party, the PDP. For me the PDP is not so different from APC, but is a better structured political party than the APC. Hear him.

" Today, I start as I return to the party where I began my political journey, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

When we left the PDP to join the then nascent coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2014, we left in a quest for justice, equity and inclusion; the fundamental principles on which the PDP was originally built but which it had deviated from. We were attracted to the APC by its promise of change. We fought hard along with others and defeated the PDP.

In retrospect, it is now evident that the PDP has learnt more from its defeat than the APC has learnt from its victory. The PDP that we return to is now a party that has learnt its lessons the hard way and have realized that no member of the party should be taken for granted; a party that has realized that inclusion, justice and equity are basic precondition for peace; a party that has realized that never again can the people of Nigeria be taken for granted."

If you ask me what I think about all this, I will tell you straight up, APC failed just a week after they won the election, in fact they started failing when the could not read between the lines that Buhari was not the best candidate. They started failing when after two weeks of victory there was nothing else but sleeping on the effect of expired kunu they drank for celebrating their victory they never expected.

Hope we all still remember that months into this administration there was no direction that one could say they were facing, but every one developed a unique ability to read the body movement of the president rather than reading policy statements which were never available till recently. By which time the economy was gone! Many foreign investors took the next flight out with their funds with no clear policy from the change singer

Many were quick to ignorantly blame the the Jonathan administration for the economic woes but fail to remember how they handed it over. How many economies can survive the negligence and clulessness this administration subjected it to for the first two and a half years while learning on the job?

Now that the dust is being raised by defection and impeachments before it settles, let us think and come up with a clear solution to the problems we have. The PDP or APC do not really have the solution to Nigeria's problems! If only a new party with a good ideology and a ready made plan on how to solve the problem can come up so we line up behind them, if only!
Romance / The Many Sides Of Silence In Relationships And What They Mean. by rico73(m): 11:51am On Jul 30, 2018
THE MANY SIDES OF SILENCE AND WHAT THEY MEAN. 2018/07/30. @OMCAG.

PAIN.
Sometimes silence means pain. It’s painful to talk about what hurts, it’s painful to tell someone that they broke your heart and it’s painful to show someone how vulnerable you are and how much they mean to you when you’re not sure what kind of reaction you’ll get and when you’re not sure what you really mean to them.

IGNORANCE.
Silence is better than sounding crazy, weak or irrational. Silence sometimes saves you from further rejection or hearing things you don’t want to hear. Silence is ignorance and sometimes ignorance is bliss.

CONFUSION.
Sometimes silence means confusion. Not knowing what to say, not knowing if it will make a difference, not knowing if it will make matters worse. Sometimes silence is the only answer to someone who is unaware of the pain they caused you, it’s the only answer to someone who doesn’t care to know if you’re okay.
Silence is tough but sometimes the truth is tougher. Sometimes silence is better than knowing that there is no chance. That this is the end. That it’s totally over.

LOVE.
Sometimes silence means love. Loving someone so much but you can’t say anything because you don’t want to lose them, you don’t want to push them away, you don’t want things to be awkward if they don’t feel the same way. So you watch them in silence, you miss them in silence, you think about them silently and you pretend like you don’t want them. You say nothing when someone mentions their name, you say nothing when someone talks about their love life.

DEVOTIONS.
Silence is also a sign of devotion. You don’t want to talk about them because you want to protect them from what people might say, you don’t want anyone to tell you that you should forget about it or it’s not worth your time.

SUFFERING
Sometimes silence means suffering. When you’re going through something no one understands, when your heart is breaking over a relationship you were never in, when you want to give up but you have a life waiting for you to make things happen, when nothing makes you feel good but you have to be grateful for it all. Sometimes silence is the only way to figure out what’s going on inside you. It’s the only way to quiet the noise in your head.

Silence is the worst, but sometimes it says it all. Sometimes there’s really nothing you can say or do. Sometimes it’s better than crying, better than yelling and better than screaming.

Silence saves you from looking like a fool — because if your silence is not enough for people to realize that something is wrong — will your words even matter?

Career / Whe You Shouldn't Be Afraid To Make Mistakes. by rico73(m): 4:20pm On Jul 26, 2018
Mistakes are the portals of discovery. James Joyce

In life, we’re obsessed with success. We’re obsessed with being more successful than our friends and family. We define ourselves by our success, or lack thereof. But hand-in-hand with our desperate need to succeed, is a paralyzing fear of failure. And that’s a problem. If you’re afraid to fail, you’ll never succeed.

If you treat your mistakes like sins, if even the idea of making a mistake terrifies you, how are you going to achieve your dreams? (Spoiler alert: You won’t. You can’t. Because the mistakes are part of your dreams.) they are part of your learning curve.

Not to mention…what’s so bad about failing? Nothing, when you understand that failure only comes when you give up . As long as you don’t give up in the pursuit of whatever it is that makes your heart beat faster, you’re not a failure. I, personally, have endless respect for people who have put their lives on their line and are going for it, since I know first-hand how terrifying it is. People who make mistakes, and fail, and pick themselves up, and wipe away the tears — that’s not failure, that’s life.

Making a mistake and learning from it doesn’t make you a failure; you learned something! Now, go apply that knowledge and experience to your life, and keep going. Keep learning.

Failures, on the other hand, are people who make a religion out of excuses and can tell you exactly what they’d do in “a perfect world,” but right now, sorry, they’re busy, all that porn on the Internet ain’t gonna watch itself. (Actually…) I especially love people who say stuff like, “Well, in a perfect world, I’d be a writer like Robert Stone, or a director like Lee Daniels…but you know, that’s impossible.”

Hmm. And yet you just named someone who is doing exactly what you want to do! So is it “impossible,” or is your punishing schedule of boozing, pills, cry-for-help Facebook status updates, and Candy Crush not leaving you much time to write?

That, to me, is failure: someone who makes excuses for his or her dreams because it’s “easier” to stay miserable. People like that have really committed to their self-loathing. Imagine what that commitment could do for their dreams. Imagine.

Maybe the problem is that we have this societal fantasy that success is a destination. Some people seem to seriously think that you’re SUCCESSFUL and a bell rings and suddenly you step into a world that smells like baking cookies, and the men and women are all hot, and unicorns and kittens roam free, or something. Whereas in reality, success is a really long journey with many, many moments of fear, frustration, exhaustion, anger, more exhaustion, crying under the covers, and some good times when you break through. And more crying.

Nowadays, with social media, we can see, on a real-time basis, our peers getting engaged, having children, getting promoted. All of which makes our (perceived) “failures” much worse. If you were just able to enjoy your own life, the good and bad of it, you’d probably think it was pretty damn good. But then, you go on Facebook and you see one friend got engaged, another just purchased a house, a third got married or is going to Thailand, and suddenly you think,”…wtf is wrong with me, I’m such a loser.” Just remember that you’re seeing the director’s cut of other people’s lives, as you live your unedited version
Education / Who Is A Monster? by rico73(m): 12:49pm On Jun 07, 2018
It was cold on the platform, no place for any sane person to stay for long. Almost everyone shuffled through a red door into a small, whitewashed waiting room. We each found a seat on the metal benches that lined the walls, drawn to them like animals to the ark. Except there were apparently 280 animals on the ark and only about 50 of us.

A young woman came in. She was talking about her art foundation degree on the phone. Everyone else in the room found something to quietly occupy themselves with – from sitting, to listening to music, to tapping away on phones, to reading, to sleeping.

She walked into the nearly full waiting room, looked left and right, and then eyed one of the few empty seats, in between two gentlemen in their 70’s. They were both keeping themselves to themselves. It would be quite ridiculous to describe them as monsters.

“Uh, so is anyone sat there then?” she asked one of the men hastily so it wouldn’t interfere with her important call. The man looked up and shook his head, indicating the seat was available.

She sat down and sighed loudly into the handset.

Her phone conversation was loud enough to take over the room. You know how sometimes you can’t help but glance at a car accident when you drive past? Well you couldn’t help but hear her talk.

“Oh shut up! My coursework’s still not done and it’s fucking in tomorrow.”

“I told you, my train’s been terminated.”

“No way. Of course I’d prefer to be with you two instead of sitting in between these two monsters.”

It was that last line that did it.

I’ve been thinking about what monsters are ever since.

But every so often, something undeniably sudden and man-made happens. Our lives are hit by a big event , an attack, something which – even though we may not have been there – means we won’t be the same again.

Wars.

Terrorist attacks.

School and cinema shootings.

Journalists shot dead for satire.

Aid workers decapitated for helping people to eat.

It’s when these things happen in places that are unexpected that we are most effected. Because all of us are guilty of conveniently glossing over incidents in places where ‘it happens all the time.’

It’s sad that each of us develop a list of terrible moments that we’ll always remember.

The towers on 9/11.

The bus and tubes on 7/7.

The 2011 Norwegian attack.

Charlie Hebdo.

The Fulani herdsmen attacks

Book haram killings.

You name it – the list goes on and we all have one.

What is a real monster? Monsters are responsible for moments like these.

Today is a time of 24/7 news. Whenever ‘something happens’, millions of our phones beep with a notification. It’s a sound so frequent that it would be easy to start believing that the world is full of monsters.

It’s not. It’s really not.

Back in the waiting room, the young woman started to rustle around in her rucksack. Her coursework wouldn’t finish itself. But something was missing.

She tapped on her phone, in panic, and lifted it to her ear.

“Mum, it’s me. Can you run upstairs and check my room? Have I left all my art stuff there?”

“All of my pencils?”

“Shit! I’m totally, totally screwed then.”

The man she was sat next to, the monster of moments ago, smiled. ‘That’ll teach her for calling me a monster,’ I imagined him thinking as I caught his gaze.

She hung up the phone, slumped into her uncomfortable metal chair, and looked genuinely distraught. Tears seemed imminent but there wasn’t a strong feeling of sympathy in the air of that small waiting room. She had got what was coming to her.

The man leaned over and reached down into his brown leather bag. He grasped hold of something. Maybe his lunch. Maybe a book.

He pulled out a square metal tin and opened it. It made a pop sound just before he passed it over to the person who’d called him a monster.

The tin was full of pencils. Every pencil a budding artist could ever need.

“Have them,” the monster said, “I have a room full of them at home.”

Rarely do we hear about the good stuff in the world. Yet most of us see it happen time and time again with our own eyes.

It’s important then, in a world where the news seems consistently horrific, to remember our own experiences. Things which we’ve learned and seen and witnessed first hand. That’s the stuff we must hold on to. It’s these experiences which offer hope, even when we’re captured by the darkness that surrounds all the horrible shit on the planet.

There’s bad and evil in the world, but it’s by no means prominent.

Most people are passengers, not monsters.

Give this piece a suitable title and Tell us the lessons learnt in your comments.

Crime / Lawrence Anini And The Role Played By Security Agencies And The Presidency Then by rico73(m): 10:40am On May 15, 2018
LAWRENCE ANINI AND THE ROLE PLAYED BY SECURITY AGENCIES AND THE PRESIDENCY THEN AND NOW.

Lawrence Nomanyag­bon Anini, Nigeria’s most notorious armed robber, was born some­time in 1960. He terrorised the old Bendel State, especially its capital, Benin City in the 1980s. By 1986, his robbery exploits had reached such a terrible level that it became a national issue. He operated along with his lieutenant, Monday Osunbor, and others. However, one striking feature in the Anini reign of terror was police complicity. It was soon dis­covered that the Anini gang had insiders within the Police hierarchy. George Iyamu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, was their arrowhead.

The complicity of the police is believed to have enhanced Anini’s reign of terror in 1986. Early that year, two members of his gang were prosecuted over an earlier under-the-table ‘agreement’ with the Police to destroy evidence against the gang members. The incident, and Anini’s view of Police betrayal, is believed to have spurred retaliatory actions by Anini. In August, 1986, a bank robbery linked to Anini was reported in which a police officer and others were killed. That same month, two officers on duty were shot at a barricade while trying to stop Anini’s car. During a span of three months, he was known to have killed nine police officers.

In an operation in August of 1986, the Anini team struck at First Bank, Sabongida-Ora, where they carted away N2, 000. But although the amount sto­len was seen as chicken feed, they left the scene with a trail of blood. Many persons were killed.
On September 6, same year, the Anini gang snatched a Peugeot 504 car from Albert Otoe, the driver of an Assistant Inspector General of Police, Christopher Omeben. In snatching the car, they killed the driver and went to hide his corpse somewhere. It was not until three months later that the skeleton of the driver was spotted 16 kilometers away from Benin, along the Benin-Ag­bor highway. A day after this attack, Anini, operating in a Passat car believed to have been stolen, also effected the snatching of another Peugeot 504 car near the former FEDECO office, in Benin.

Two days after, Anini’s men killed two policemen in Orhio­won Local Government of the state. Still in that month, three different robbery attacks, all pointing to Anini’s involvement, took place. They include the murder of Frank Unoarumi, a former employee of the Nigerian Observer newspapers; the killing of Mrs. Remi Sobanjo, a chartered accountant, and the stealing of the Mercedes Benz car in Benin, of the Ughelli monarch, the Ovie.

Anini’s image thus loomed larger than life, just like the image of the herdsmen of today. dwarfing those of Ishola Oyenusi, the king of robbers in the 1970s and Youpelle Dakuro, the army deserter who masterminded the most vicious daylight robbery in Lagos in 1978, in which two policemen were killed. Anini spear-headed a four-month reign of terror between August and December 1986. He also reportedly wrote numerous letters to media houses using political tones of Robin Hood to describe his criminal acts.

Worried by the seeming elusiveness of Anini and his gang members, the military President, General Ibrahim Baban­gida then ordered a massive manhunt for the kingpin and his fellow robbers. The police thus went after them; combed every part of Bendel State where they were reportedly operating and living. The whole nation was gripped with fear of the robbers and their daredevil exploits.

However, Police manhunt failed to stop their activities; the more they were hunted, the more intensified their activities became. Some of the locals in the area even began to tell stories of their invincibility and for a while, it felt like they were never going to be caught.

However, at the conclusion of a meeting of the Armed Forces Ruling Council in October 1986, General Babangida turned to the Inspector- General of Police, Etim Inyang, and asked, ‘My friend, where is Anini?’. This is what our current President has not done. At about this time, Nigerian newspapers and journals were also publishing various reports and editorials on the ‘Anini Challenge’, the ‘Anini Saga’, the ‘Anini Factor’, ‘Lawrence Anini – the Man, the Myth’, ‘Anini, Jack the Ripper’, and ‘Lawrence Anini: A Robin Hood in Bendel’. The Guardian asked, emphatically, in one of its reports: ‘Will they ever find Ani­ni, “The Law”?’

His arrest

Finally, it took the courage of Superintendent of Police, Kayode Uanreroro to bring the Anini reign of terror to an end. On December 3, 1986, Uanreroro caught Anini at No 26, Oyem­wosa Street, opposite Iguodala Primary School, Benin City, in company with six women. Acting on a tip-off from the locals, the policeman went straight to the house where Anini was hiding and apprehended him with very little resistance. Uanreroro led a crack 10-man team to the house, knocked on the door of the room, and Anini himself, clad in underpants, opened the door. “Where is Anini,” the police officer quickly enquired. Dazed as he was caught off guard and having no escape route, Anini all the same tried to be smart. “Oh, Anini is under the bed in the inner room”. As he said it, he made some moves to walk past Uanreroro and his team. In the process, he shoved and head-butted the police officer but it was an exercise in futility.

Uanreroro promptly reached for his gun, stepped hard on An­ini’s right toes and shot at his left ankle. Anini surged forward but the policemen took hold of him and put him in a sitting position. They then pumped more bullets into his shot leg and almost sev­ered the ankle from his entire leg. Already, anguished by the ex­cruciating pains, the policemen asked him, “Are you Anini?” And he replied, “My brother, I won’t deceive you; I won’t tell you lie, I’m Anini.” He was from there taken to the police command headquarters where the state’s Police Commissioner, Parry Osayande, was waiting. While in the police net, Anini who had poor command of English and could only communicate in pid­gin, made a whole lot of revela­tions. He disclosed, for instance that Osunbor, who had been ar­rested earlier, was his deputy, saying that Osunbor actually shot and wounded the former po­lice boss of the state, Akagbosu

Anini was shot in the leg, transferred to a military hospi­tal, and had one of his legs am­putated. When Anini’s hideout was searched, police recovered assorted charms, including the one he usually wore around his waist during “operations”. It was instructive that after Anini was captured and dispossessed of his charms, the man who terror­ized a whole state and who was supposed to be fearless suddenly became remorseful, making con­fessions. This was against public expectation of a daredevil hood­lum who would remain defiant to the very end.

Shortly after the arrest of Anini and co, the dare-devil rob­bers began to revealthe roles played by key police officers and men, in the aiding and abetting of criminals in Bendel State and the entire country. Anini particu­larly revealed that Iyamu, who was the most senior police offi­cer shielding the robbers, would reveal police secrets to them and then, give them logistical sup­ports such as arms, to carry out robbery operations. He further revealed that Iyamu, after each operation, would join them in sharing the loot. It was further exposed how Iyamu planned to kill Christopher Omeben, an As­sistant Inspector-General of Po­lice in charge of Intelligence and Investigation. But Iyamu was later to be disappointed as the assailants dispatched to elimi­nate Omeben were only able to kill his driver, Otue, a sergeant. Iyamu, whom the robbers fondly referred to as ‘Baba’, reportedly had choice buildings in Benin City; proof of how he invested the loot he obtained from men of the underworld.
Due to the amputation of his leg, Anini was confined to a wheelchair throughout his trial. Iyamu, on his part, denied ever knowing and collaborating with Anini, but Anini The Law furi­ously retorted, “You are a shame­less liar!” Anini had accused him before Justice James Omo-Agege in the High Court of Justice in Benin City. Of the 10 police offi­cers Anini implicated, five were convicted. The robbery suspects, including Iyamu, were sentenced to death. But in passing his judgement, Justice Omo-Agege remarked, “Anini will forever be remembered in the history of crime in this country, but it would be of unblessed memory. Few people if ever, would give the name to their children.” Their execution took place on March 29, 1987.

Now back to the present. You may be surprised at the level of complicity of our various security Agencies in the present chaos Fulani herdsmen has brought to this nation at the moment. To make matters worse, there seems to be a written script that is been played out but this Neibour of ours that the president is asking us to accommodate and treats like presidential aides.

Just recently, the president told the us president that these people don't carry Ak 47 as been reported in the media. He rather blamed the crisis on the foot soldiers from Libya. There was an incidence that happened in Edo state where local vigilante caught some herdsmen and asked one of their colleague to keep watch over them why they go after the fleeing herdsmen. Only for solders to come in a car from S &T barracks in Benin and open fire on the guard and kill him on the spot without asking questions. Not done they took the herdsmen to the hospital for treatment.

So we can all see the difference in the way these two administrations Vis a vis the security agencies went about solving the security challenge they both faced.

just calculate the sum in naira that is wasted yearly by nigerians in the name of religion, and to think that all these wemen get at the end is just a gold coloured tooth. God help us.

The oil- producing states have the federation take home, 13per cent derivation, the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs with hundreds of billions for projects in the region, the NDDC with billions of naira, the oil companies, doing a lot and finally, the Federal Government gives very handsome grants to oil-producing states under all sorts of guises. You also have the Amnesty Programme, all in the same region. So, they have six different sources of income.

The other states are left with one source of income
. I know how we indirectly got there. The oil producing communities have been neglected for a long time. There is no doubt about that. They were not taking very good care of them. In our own anxious way of solving the problems, we are now over funding them and underfunding the non-oil producing states.

This disparity can bring all sorts of crisis to the country in the future
. We have to consciously do something about this development before it will put us in very bad and embarrassing situation. So, there is going to be a review.
