This is straight from my Heart. Reason for This: THE RECENT LISTING OF NIGERIA AS A TERRORIST NATION. It breaks my heart that this should be happening to Nigeria and also, the scenario in the country as at today, even makes it worse because it is a case of a Body (The Nation) in crises without the Head (The President) to stir things in the right path. It pains me from the deepest of my heart that this is happening at a time when our Leader and No.1 citizen of our Nation is away due to medical reasons and not on ground to handle this. I know that Nigeria has many vices that should give every Nigerian a reason to be perpetually sad, but however, we all know that Life must go on and that is why I personally refused to be saddened about all the happenings in the Country. However, this case of Nigeria now listed as a terrorist Nation has broken the camel’s back and I am deeply saddened by this. I do not want to shed tears for my beloved Nigeria. All I do, and will keep doing is ...

The 2009 edition of the Carnival Calabar held on December 27 deviated from the norm. Unlike the four previous editions which started in the morning and ended in the night, the event not only held on a Sunday (the first time it would hold on the day), it also started around 3pm and ran to around 5am of the following day. Though some people felt the carnival could have been shifted to the next day if the organisers really wanted people to enjoy their church service, Carnival 2009 was not devoid of its characteristic pomp and ceremony. Despite the five competing bands - Freedom Band, Masta Blasta Band, Bayside Band, Seag ull Band and Passion Four - and the non-competing b ands taking off at Millennium Park after the scheduled 2pm, people; old, young and children, lined the streets well into the night along the 12-kilometre procession route. The excitement was contagious as Nige rians and foreigners either followed the procession or waited for them on the well lit streets. If the streets ...

Globacom Nigeria Ltd, also known as Glo Mobile Nigeria, started business operations in Nigeria in the year 2003. No doubt, it brought the relieve we all Nigerians needed from expensive per minute call charges, by introducing the per second billing, thereby crashing the high cost of making calls using the Global System of Mobile Communications (GSM). However, the true Glo Mobile Nigeria has unravelled itself. The same company (Glo Mobile Nigeria) that brought respite to the masses of Nigeria has now consciously shut its doors of communication (the only bridge to its end-users) against the same masses that were made to believe that they were a company for the people, for Nigerians and truly Nigerian. A telecoms company (Globacom Nigeria Ltd); a supposed 100% Nigerian owned company, has now shut-out its own Nigerian subsc ribers, the same people who made them who they are today by virtue of their extensive and wide patronage. Today, Globacom Nigeria Ltd also known as Glo mobile Nig...

This post is in reward to my bank (Intercontinental Bank PLC) for being a worthy service to me and its other customers. Intercontinental Bank PLC, Nigeria, has been and is an epitome of excellence. Right from the door, you are welcome like a king and while inside, you are treated with respect. They do not base their respect on the value of money in your account. Everyone is treated with love and equity. I must also commend Intercontinental Bank Plc for their innovation drive and also, because they do not believe in being second best. They always aim for the best, and we as shareholders and customers of the bank are living testimonies to that. As a student, the launch of the new Intercontinental Bank Prepaid MasterCard has made me register my presence on the internet without stress. Now I can shop online genuinely just like my foreign counterparts who had this monopoly for a long time now. I now also check my account statements online and confirm payments without needing to go to the ...

ATM Security ATMs keep your personal identification number (PIN) and other information safe by using encryption software such as Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard). But there are lots of things that you can do to protect your information and your money at an ATM. Note: Your ATM PIN should be a number that you can easily remember, but that would not be readily available to thieves. Bank ATM Secur ity Advic e ATM bank cash machines have been incorporated in our way of life. They offer a real convenience to those on the run, but at the same time offer an element of risk. Using a bank ATM machine safely requires awareness and a little planning. Just because a bank ATM machine is open and available 24-hours a day doesn't mean it is always safe to use it. ATM ROBBERY FACTS Most bank ATM robberies occur at night between 7pm and midnight when the machine only produces 10% of the daily transactions. Between 7pm and 4am, the ATMs handle only 11% of the total daily transactions but s...

Should landlords be looking for the security of a guarantor for new tenants? Landlords - we are all aware of the deteriorating economic climate. Rents have been falling although the latest figures show some signs of stability in average rents, and tenant unemployment is an increasing and potentially growing problem for landlords. I have been warning landlords for some time that they might want to consider rent guarantee insurance to protect themselves against tenants defaulting on their rent. Protecting a landlords rent - There are other measures that savvy landlords can use to protect their rent as well as tenant guarantee insurance. This is by a landlord using a guarantor. A guarantor undertakes to pay the rent of the tenant if they stop making rental payments. Essentially it creates a safeguard from a third party who underwrites the tenants rent and provides a buffer against default. Traditionally, guarantors have been used by landlords when letting to student tenants. It is also sy...

His name is Michael Jackson, also known as the “King of Pop”. He was born on the 29th of August, 1958, unfortunately no one at then would have imagined that the greatest musician of all time had been born. He shared a lot with my sister; they were both born on the 29th of August. And while my sister was born in the year 1985, Michael Jackson was born in the year 1958, just a reverse of the last two figures. Before the age of six, he was a television personality. He thrilled crowds and audiences with his wizardry in music and dance. He never knew what it was to have a normal childhood with friends and all; he never experienced the fun of childhood because of the glamour and fame that encompassed him at a very early age. This man happens not only to be the greatest musician of all time, but also my greatest musician of all time. My greatest wish, of which I always told my friends, was to have the opportunity to see Michael Jackson ‘The Legend’ live on stage in my city (Calabar, Nigeri...
