Anxieties that throw up Donald Trump Phenomenon

The Republican Party candidate in the November 9 Presidential Election of the United States (U.S.) Donald Trump has riled many civilised people with his crude language and vulgarity, a character that many said does not reflect the ideals of his party. WALE AJETUNMOBI, who has just returned from Foreign Press Centre (FPC) reporting tour in the U.S., writes on the anxieties which threw up Trump in the U.S. politics. The politics of the United States (U.S.) has its peculiarities, but it beats the imagination of many Americans how Donald Trump – the Republican Party candidate – rose to become the Grand Old Party’s (GOP’s) nominee for the November 8 presidential contest. Apart from his vulgarity, which gradually draws many cultured people away from the party, Trump’s choice of words during the GOP primaries and in the ongoing campaign is deemed offensive and unbecoming of a prospective occupant of the U.S. presidency. “Trump is careless with words and people are worried if he would not brin...

Ade Adesomoju, Abuja Clues to the next line of action of the of the Federal Government are likely to emerge on the forgery case which was last Friday dropped against Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and others, after a meeting of the National Prosecution Coordination Committee scheduled to hold in Abuja today. The meeting was initially scheduled to hold at the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions shortly after the charges were withdrawn on Friday, but the time was too short to mobilise everyone that needed to be part of it.

Nigerian Politicians have reckless mindset-Jega

Ramon Oladimeji A former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, says the biggest challenge confronting the electoral body is the reckless mindset of politicians, who believe that winning an election is a do-or-die affair. Through this mindset, Jega said Nigerian politicians had turned the nation’s electoral arena into a bloody battlefield characterised by political thuggery, snatching of ballot boxes and assassinations while creating fear in the minds of voters. Jega, who presided over INEC during the 2015 general election, said the situation was so bad that it took INEC a lot of effort to allay the fear of voters and revive their interest in the process before they could come out to vote in 2015. The ex-INEC helmsman declared that all attempts by the country to reform the electoral process would be a waste of effort except politicians changed their reckless mindset. Jega spoke in Lagos on Saturday at the 50th birthday ceremony of the National L...

Ten Uses of Alcohol other than drinking it.

When the times comes that the supermarket shelves are empty, alcohol will be a valuable barter item. Make sure to stock up on the smallest bottles you can get, that way you can work out the ‘exchange rate’ far easier than if you just had large bottles. Other than barter and having the odd glass yourself there are many uses for alcohol in a post-collapse world. Here are a few suggestions: Sterilizing medium: Surgical instruments, razor blades, hands, kitchen worktops, butchery equipment and anything else that needs to be cleaner than average. Remember to remove all surface soil first, and in the case of anything that contains protein, such as surgical instruments and butchery equipment, clean them in COLD water. Protein, including blood, denatures at 45°C, it sets solid, and an alcohol bath may not be able to penetrate and therefore clean properly. Antiseptic: For shallow and surface wounds only. It will sting like hell but is effective in killing a good number of bacteria. Dabbing it o...

Tinubu wanted to be VP in 2015, opposed Osinbajo as VP-Buhari's Authorized Biography

An authorised biography of President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed how the President chose Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo as his running mate for the 2015 presidential election despite the opposition of a national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. The book, ‘Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria,’ written by Prof. John Paden, was presented at an elaborate event at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, on Monday. The general belief was that Tinubu was instrumental to the emergence of Osinbajo, who served as his Attorney General when he (Tinubu) was the governor of Lagos State. But according to the book, the names of Tinubu; the then Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN); and Osinbajo, were forwarded to Buhari for him to pick a running mate shortly after the retired general emerged the party’s candidate at its convention in Lagos. The author claimed that Buhari chose Osinbajo above others despite enormous pressure from Tinub...

Bola Ilori has said the National leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was the one who instructed them to join the Alliance for Democracy.

Me, it has always been a norm for me to come back 2 weeks after resumption. I don’t know how fausa will take it if I tell her that i still have till 4 more weeks to come back. Me too don dey miss the girl sef, I chat with seyi often, even seyi told me that she will be coming back 3 days to resumption. I don’t want her (seyi) to notice or see me helping fausa to pack her things. That alone made me change my mind, and I came back a week later in the warm and loving hands of fausa. Even though I wasn’t having much feelings for seyi, I still pretend to love her. The day I came back, barely 2 hours I came back to Abeokuta, fausa came to see me.

I told her to save some money aside so incase her dad goes back to London and never returns. She said he(father) will return to london but will be sending money on a monthly basis for her upkeep till she graduates, and she will go over to join him in London.

After fausa left, seyi came to my room, she blasted me with words that other students started coming out of their rooms to know what was going on…………………………………. She was deeply embarrassed by what I did. She even accused me of sleeping with fausa which I denied……………………., she threatened to stop fausa from coming to the house; but would that be possible! I begged for day, even bought her gifts just to appease her. It took 2 weeks for her to forgive me. But that didn’t stop me from continuing my play with fausa. Fausa’s presence was like a virus that infects the mind. Each time am with her, I feel weak and I felt I was beginning to go crazy in love with her, only that I was still managing to stay with seyi out of pity.

EPISODE 6 In me, my body temperature rose immediately, it looked like electric energy. That kind of energy will solve Nigerian’s electricity problems for one whole year. I thought about it again. Since me and seyi have never had s-x since we started dating. She said she’s keeping herself till marriage and I love it and respect her for that. She really loves me so much and I do too. Looking at Fausa that moment, body no be firewood and I must do it now or never, I thought to myself. She was sitting on my reading chair while I laid on my bed. I no wan dull myself. I adhered what my baddest nigga (seye) said about women that women are fragile and changes their mind easily. He said If you notice that a woman loves you, press on immediately and go to her at that time, because if you go later, she might change her mind. I stood up, went straight to where she was sitting and began kissing her; behold she responded, she wanted it. Before we knew what was happening, we ended up on bed and the d...

Fausa Eleja season 1 Episode 5

EPISODE 5 This particular Saturday, other guys had earlier travelled on Friday. Seyi went to RCCG Redemption camp and, she would go to Lagos from there. I was the only one in the flat. Fausa came around at about 1:15pm. She asked after seyi, I told that seyi travelled. She knew that seyi and I are dating. She said she was having some difficulties with some Jamb past questions. Well I took her to my room. That was not the first time she was coming into the room, but that day’s entry was special. I taught her for an hour, I became tired of teaching. I jokingly told her she should take it to her boyfriend to teach her the rest. She laughed, she said she doesn’t have a boyfriend; as a matter of fact, she has not dated any guy or had s-x since she was born. I was shocked when she said that. I wondered how such a pretty girl like her, because she’s so d--n pretty with a good shape, men trembling at her feet, wanting to just have a piece of her. I asked her how old she was, she said she was 2...

She said she wanted to know if we want to buy fish. I began to wonder in my mind. After everything that happened the other day. The quarrels, tensions that generated with the N3,500 owed by my housemates; who else apart from me does she feel will buy fish from her. She still get the liver come ask if we want to buy fish. I realized she has an innocent and a kind heart. After what the other guys did to her, she still came back. I told her that I don’t want to buy and perhaps other guys who will love to buy are not around. She said she liked me out of other guys, that I was gentle and cool headed, unlike the other guys who are rough and behave like touts. She was speaking in Yoruba while I spoke in English; I did forms as if I am not a yoruba type due to my looks and chose english as the languag...

Opposition members won't make my cabinet-Obaseki

Edo State Governor-elect, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has said no member of the opposition political parties should expect to make his cabinet after his inauguration on November 12. Obaseki, who spoke during an interactive session with journalists, noted that though he could explain the focus and vision of his administration to them, none of them would be appointed in his administration. The incumbent Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, had at the inception of his administration in 2008, appointed three members of the Peoples Democratic Party into his cabinet. Obaseki said, “I will not be able to accept anybody from the opposition political parties as a commissioner in my cabinet.” The governor-elect said he would immediately form a team for the purpose of preparing the 2017 appropriation budget. According to him, he has to prepare the budget in order to hit the ground running because he has only four weeks to present it before the House of Assembly embarks on a recess. Obaseki added that apart from t...

Former Man Utd Striker, David Herd, dies at 82

Former Manchester United and Scotland striker David Herd has died at the age of 82, his old club announced Sunday. Herd played a key role in United’s revival following the 1958 Munich air disaster and scored twice in their 3-1 win over Leicester in the 1963 FA Cup final. He also helped United win the English league title in 1965 and 1967. Herd, who previously played for Arsenal, scored 145 goals for United. He left United for Stoke a month after they won the European Cup against Benfica in 1968, a success in which he played little part having suffered a broken leg the year before. United and Stoke were involved in a Premier League match on Sunday, with players from both clubs wearing black armbands as a mark of respect to Herd. “Everybody at Manchester United is saddened to hear of the passing of David Herd,” the club posted on manutd.com. “We can confirm that both United and Stoke will wear black armbands this afternoon to pay tribute to David Herd, who played for both clubs.” Herd’s ...

Higuain Scores brace as Juve see Off Empoli

Gonzalo Higuain hit a brace to help Juventus cement top spot in Serie A with a 3-0 win away at Empoli on Sunday. Massimiliano Allegri’s men travelled to the Carlo Castellani stadium, where the hosts’ best result against the Bianconeri was a scoreless draw in 2008, confident of ensuring that they would remain on top of the table going into the international break. Yet the Turin giants missed a host of first-half chances before Argentine striker Paulo Dybala finally broke the deadlock on 65 minutes with a close-range strike. It opened the floodgates, Higuain pouncing on Mario Lemina’s precision pass only two minutes later to beat Lukasz Skorupski from the edge of the area. Three minutes after that, the Argentine cheekily dispossessed Marco Zambelli yards from the Empoli goal to round the Polish ‘keeper for his second of the day. Higuain moves on to seven goals in all competitions this season, six in Serie A, in which he is level with compatriot Mauro Icardi, whose Inter Milan side face R...
