DRUG RUINED GEORGE MICHAEL'S CAREER~~ CLOSE FRIEND SAYS

A close friend to George Michael,  has claimed a drug habit ruined the late singer's career. He told the Sun:

Gary Farrow said ‘I believe easy access to drugs was the cause of his problems. I thought George was too bright to get involved with illegal substances. But once this disease gets hold of you it’s hard to fight it.’

Another friend revealed that just weeks before he died, the singer would throw wild all night parties at his £8million mansion. They said: '
George loved having friends over and was often still going strong well into the following morning. This continued right up until his death.'

Another source, claiming to be close to Michael said that he had suffered an overdose. He said:
'He's been rushed to A&E on several occasions. He used heroin. I think it’s amazing he’s lasted as long as he has.'

George Michael ,53,who was found dead by his  boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz,  in his country home in England on Christmas day wrote:
"ITs a xmas i will never forget finding your partner dead peacefully in bed first thing in the morning.. I will never stop missing you xx."
Fawaz told The Daily Telegraph of London that he and Michael had planned to spend Christmas Day together. He said:
“We were supposed to be going for Christmas lunch. I went round there to wake him up and he was just gone, lying peacefully in bed. We don’t know what happened yet,” he told The Telegraph. “Everything had been very complicated recently, but George was looking forward to Christmas, and so was I. “Now everything is ruined. I want people to remember him the way he was, he was a beautiful person.”

PRESIDENT MUHAMMAD BUHARI'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS

Dear Compatriots,

I heartily rejoice with all Nigerians, particularly our Christian brothers and sisters, on this year's celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
As we celebrate this year’s Christmas, I believe that it is very appropriate for us to reflect on the love of God aptly espoused in the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus Christ.
During his earthly sojourn, Jesus Christ repeatedly reminded his disciples and followers of peace that comes in the midst of trials and tribulations on earth.
There is no better time than now in our nation’s history to pray for divine guidance to get over our current challenges.

We can have peace in Nigeria if we all learn to tolerate and appreciate one another, respect constituted authority; and be our brothers’ keepers in word and deed.
During this period, we should remember to offer special prayers to God for all our heroic citizens who paid the supreme price to restore peace and security in the North East and other flash points in the country. Let us also remember in our prayers the security forces in the frontline in the continuing battle to rid our nation of terrorism and violence.

We must not forget the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in our midst and those who have suffered untold hardship as a result of activities of insurgents and terrorists.
Our immediate priority is to alleviate the poverty of Nigerians by quickly stimulating the economy. I assure Nigerians that our government is doing its best to make life easier for all.
Let us therefore, renew our hope in the God-ordained unity, progress and prosperity of our great nation.
I wish all travellers safe movements and a memorable holiday as we celebrate with our family and friends.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MUHAMMADU BUHARI
President, Federal Republic of Nigeria

WHILE YOU THINK HOW TO EMBEZZLE FUNDS...WE THINK HOW TO SUPPRESS TERRORISM~~NIGERIAN SOLDIER WRITES

 Chibuzor Ever ,a  soldier, wrote this piece describing the life and feeling of a Nigerian soldier.  Read below: Story of a Soldier

 It is not easy been a soldier!! We have cloth in our wardrobes but the nature of the job leaves no chance to wear them!! Patrol and escort both in the summer and winter dressing combatantly everyday like an astonaut while others are asleep we are awake... While you drink table water and beverages in your homes, we manage water in the jungle we do this just to suppress terrorism!!!

You lay on beds at night while we lay on tents and trench... While you think of how to embezzle funds we think of how to attack external forces!!! It is a work to God and humanity. You fucking scream when you are cut by blade we endure when we are hit by a bullet!!! When a soldier die, they dont take it as anything.... To them it is a normal thing!!! But when their wives have miscarriage the whole earth will hear their cry!!! May be you dont know we are also born from a woman. Ohh Lord! I pray that every person, people, community, organization or parastatal that whishes me and my fellow soldiers awful death.....dry thunder from heaven should strike them down.. Do i hear you say amen!

I HAVE MY OWN DASHED HOPES~~~BETTY IRABOR

Beautiful Betty Irabor, CEO Genevieve Magazine , Nigeria's leading lifestyle magazine recently asked a million dollar question.You think I don't know abt dashed hopes??  Enjoy the write-up :
(This is for everyone who has ever had their hopes badly shattered)

In the third year of Genevieve, Elle mag South Africa approached me and offered to invest $$$ in Genevieve. They wanted 60 percent shareholding. Isn't that the dream of every entrepreneur??? The would-be investors and my board members and I went ahead and signed Non disclosure agreement and commenced with due diligence and negotiations.. Then nothing. Silence.

They pulled out without any explanations. I Iater heard that Elle was in turn bought over by a bigger global brand . Hope dashed. I survived. Then came another phone call from Another would -be investor in Paris.."we would like the French edition of Genevieve to circulate in 9 Francophone countries".He said.

Whoop Whoop!! I saw this as compensation for my earlier loss. Ahh! I was overjoyed. I assembled a team of consultants and off we went to Cote d'ivoire. We had amazing deliberations and agreed to meet again in Nigeria to continue with more deliberations and agree on terms etc..And then I got news that the French man with the vision for A French version of Genevieve had suffered a stroke!! And the vision died.. Again I was dealt a bad blow! Talk abt sinking heart!!
It was a devious turn of events. (Who did I offend?)

Imagine where Genevieve would be if both opportunities didn't fall through?? I thought as I moaned.
But who knows why they fell through? Those periods were the worst period of my Genevieve journey; I lost hope, my faith was shaken and I saw no reason to continue.. But I am still here, I am a major testimony that No matter what life throws at us we have a choice to stay down or get up and trust God to make a way where there appears to be none.

When you find your self in a hole, don't continue to dig because you just sink further in the hole... Don't celebrate setbacks by focusing on them. Nothing makes sense when life deals you blows but trust me that's when you discover how strong you really are... And sometimes these things happen because God has a much bigger plan for us.

They may not manifest when you desperately need them to but they sure will.. In all things we must pray that our plans align with God's and not that His aligns aligns with ours.
Look at me... I am still here. I am great, I haven't given up on me. And whichever way things go in my life I am content as long as I have God. I have learnt not to depend on my human strength but on His... My redeemer liveth. God is good...,
Merry Christmas my friends...

JAMES IBORI HEROIC WELCOME SHOWS NOTHING CALLED SHAME OR CONSCIENCE IN NIGERIA!

The news of the release of former Delta state governor, James Ibori from a UK prison on Tuesday night after completing half of his 13 years sentence is no longer a news to majority of us all!

It would be recalled that James Ibori was convicted for stealing $250 million form the state coffers while he was governor of the state from 1999 to 2007. That is to say he systematically and deliberately stole the money that belong to the Delta state tax payers   during his terms as Governor of the oil-rich Delta State for his own personal enjoyment!

I am not against his released from prison or his family from welcoming him back as one of their own but  this must be with funfair. James is one of the smartest  Nigerian  where only dishonest people become so  rich even get richer  than their state.

Speaking to newsmen after the state's (Delta) executive council meeting, Commissioner for Information, Patrick Ukah, said ;“We are all very happy that our son, our brother, former governor has been released. So, it is a thing of joy and the only expression as a state is that we are happy. I think for everybody, who has a personal relationship with him, will be very happy and I think that as a state we don’t have issues with our former governor and he is somebody that everybody loved.”he said....... was DELIGHTED to know that their son has been released.

 A state executive stated  that 'their son' was released......and 'very happy and I think that as a state we don’t have issues with our former governor and he is somebody that everybody loved', despit the fact that this guy is a common criminal! According to Prosecutor Sasha Weils (of London Southwark Crown Court)"The amount James Ibori stole is un-quantified . He is a common thief "

 I wrote in the past that Justice are for sale in Nigeria....Nigeria's court did not found Ibori guilty  for the same offences he was sentenced in the United Kingdom. Rather, as a cover-up for him, the Administration of Goodluck Jonathan wrote ;

"Arising out of the proceedings the court made a fairly draconian world-wide freezing order on all Ibori assets This has inflicted obvious and serious consequences for James Ibori and his ability to live his life day by day. James Ibori is a public figure in Nigeria , a former Governor of Delta State and still actively involved with the governing party (PDP) of Nigeria."

From the foregoing,"any arousing welcome given to him is not surprising because Nigeria has lost its sense of shame since the military rule of 1966 . All the country has espoused ever since is culture of "kill and share , rule and divide "as well as "share the gala and share the booze: mentality according to Prof Pat Utomi.

As one of my friend wrote," there is nothing called shame or conscience in Nigeria"!
