China is the most populous country in the world with the population estimation of over 1.38 billion people, unlike Nigeria; Chinese population is a great advantage to her economic stability because the government has been able to use her population strength for the nation’s industrialization. The foundation of Chinese prosperity started with the revolution of 1911-12 which overthrew the decadent Manchu dynasty. This growth was further restructured, consolidated and entrenched with Communists victory in 1949. The Chinese prosperity through the Communists party was one of the major contributions of Mao Tse-tung to the Chinese development and no doubt his thought is the prevailing philosophy of the new China that have altered the balance of power in contemporary international relations.

There are talks on granting amnesty to perpetrators of terrorism in Nigeria if caught and if eventually defeated. We must classify terrorism as murder and as mass murder. The penalty for murder is life imprisonment or the death sentence. And I can say it will be a fitting penalty for Boko Haram members after all the anguish they've unleashed on Nigerians.

I have always wondered why its girls and only girls that feature in musical videos as vixens. The feminists have a lot of work to do here.

Nigeria started with Singapore and today Singapore is a first world nation. In fact as the story goes, Singapore came to Nigeria to learn about palm kernel and its oil and today Singapore is the largest exporter of palm oil.

Our mind is like a bank. You make deposits and withdrawals. Your mind feeds on what you feed it. So if you feed it positive things, you make positive withdrawals. However if you feed it negative things then you make negative withdrawals. Our actions stem from what we have fed our minds with or in my own words, your deposits.

Dear people of Igbo extraction, I did a piece not too long ago on my apology to you for not understanding your anger towards President Buhari. I felt your pulse and saw your agitations over what you termed deliberate sidelining of Igbos in this APC led government.

Have you noticed the recent trend in Nigerian weddings? Where couples revel in orgies? Half of the weddings I saw on the internet had couples dressed half naked

Been busy this week. Hoping from bank to phone shop and what have you. And I got it slapped in my face in every business entity i was in that Nigerian businesses need to take customer service very seriously.

Lets not go into a full definition. Almost everyone can tell you what they think love is. My attention has been drawn recently to a group of people breaking up people's marriages claiming they are in love.

THE AFRICAN MENTALITY- In Nigeria especially from where I come from, it is a taboo to have only female children. A woman who has only girl children has not sealed her place in her husband's home. Instead of thanking God for giving him children, an african man would rather gripe and complain forgetting that there are people who do not have children at all. Women are blamed for giving birth to only female children and some husbands would gladly break the home than accept only girl children .

I know of a woman who has six children. The entire family live in a one room apartment. This is a common scenario especially in Lagos where a large number of families live in or squat in one room apartments or shelters. The grieving thing about this is that these families are on the average comprised of eight members with all of them sharing one room.

The recent meeting in Washington D.C of world leaders to discuss the alternative of nuclear energy for power generation poses a lot of questions: Obama has sounded a note of warning but is a note of warning enough ?

Dear Readers, I must start by apologizing to you all. I always wondered why a lot of people were not happy with Buhari. I had a conversation with my sister yesterday and I finally understood why.

What exactly is adultery ? According to the bible, if a man looks lustfully at a woman, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

This one is to the guys. We always complain about women dont we? Now its time for the guys and this is straight from my heart; THEY SAY THEIR FATHERS HAVE FAILED THEM AND THAT THEIR FATHERS GENERATION ARE CORRUPT AND HAVE NOT GIVEN THEM JOBS BUT SHOULD WE SACRIFICE THE MORAL FABRIC OF OUR NATION BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE MONEY? #entertainment Industry .

Thank God. Justice is finally catching up with child molesters. READ HERE

This is not an attempt to supply the answer for the cause of rape. I do not know if there is an answer. What would be said concerning the rape of four year old choice. Please read the story below. THE RAPE OF FOUR YEAR OLD CHOICE BY SCHOOL PROPRIETOR I urge my readers to try to supply the arguments for why such things are found in our society. RAPE ;  response to stimulus,  power control or just sheer wickedness ?

On spirits, cults and spiritual beings; the recent evaluation by popular opinion is that 90% of people who are from and who live in riverine calabar are possessed. don't't know how true that is but i have met some possessed people in my life and incidentally one of them is from calabar.

The recent Panama paper leak indicting several highly placed people could mean that there is no hiding place for corruption anymore coupled with the FIFA corruption scandal.

I would love to hear from you my readers. Please leave a comment. In that way I can also get to know you which is one of my wishes. I love you all. Keep the blog alive!

DONT BE MOVED BY THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE ; BRAZILLIAN HAIR BLACKBERRY AND RED PUMPS. GOOD GROOMING IS WHAT MAKES A LADY:

Black is beauty so goes the saying. I am black and proud of it. Some people shy away from being black. They've developed a complex that tells them they look like white people because they are fair skinned. To some people beauty is being artificial so they throw in money to lightening beauty products bleaching their skin in the name of looking beautiful.

I was walking in a Nigerian University early one morning when I heard a female student greeting another student who was male as Hello Mother f....ker. And I was embarrased and ashamed to say the least.

Today I choose to believe in myself, in my abilities and in my weaknesses, in the God that gave me me for I am a gift unto myself. I choose to believe in myself even though I don’t have the clear picture, even if it seems that others have gotten ahead of me. I choose to believe in myself because I am a pool of talents being harnessed by God to bless the world and mankind. I choose to believe in myself, for only when I do, do I truly become a gift to the world.

Society is an ecosystem. Everyone cannot be doing the same thing. Having said that, I will go ahead to say this; personal wellness can be defined as;

Be very clear when it starts ; STOP IT.

A pity. That's the only phrase I can come up with for those who call themselves feminists. I can feel their agitation . It's not difficult to be angry with the male gender. There are

On this matter of devaluing the naira, I have been listening to a lot of well intentioned but misinformed Nigerians. First things first we are where we are because there is a global slump in oil prices. Buhari is not the cause of the global slump.Other oil producing economies are in the same situation.

A virtuous woman is not just a wealthy woman or a very wealthy woman. The virtuous woman in the bible was noted for two outstanding qualities; her extreme sense of balance and her fear of God.

 A look at the society  today reveals the inherent weakness found in today’s youth. In a country filled with problems ranging from corruption to unemployment, infant mortality, polygamy, abuse, rape, wife battery, incest, underdevelopment, educational problems to name a few, one would think that the average Nigerian youth would be looking for how to solve the problems in his homeland.

Today I just want to be free, free to be myself and free to be myself aloud. By this I mean in the presence of other people. I would like to be free to share my thoughts, to express my views and to love myself. I would like to be free to praise myself, my achievements and accomplishments. To raise hope and faith in my desire to succeed at tomorrow’s goals.
