How is everybody? i have being off here for a very long time and i felt it too lol.
My weeks have being very busy and mad rush to finish home work and stuff.
ok through out last week i was having emotional battles and i was very affected. i did not want to talk to anyone just wanted to be alone at home not crying but just down. i started to doubt my christian race started to feel like God had forgotten me, i started to question what was in it for me and stuff like that.
imagine i started to think maybe there was no God and maybe i determined my own destiny at that too because i was so below down it was not funny. But i know my redeemer lives.
my account was empty, my debts were piling up and nobody seemed to care, so i wanted to just be alone. wanted to apply for a job but one of my references said something to me that made me just forget it, mad me feel useless. (words to people are very dangerous, be careful how u use them,you dont know where it would hit)
then on saturday, i just looked up and prayed to God to please forgive me for all my sins and help me and not let me die since i had not eaten and the last time i eat was thursday around two pm. then i just felt peaceful and slept off.
By sunday, around twelve (did not go to church, but was watching it online) in the afternoon someone knocked my door and i was thinking of not answering but i just got up and did it anyway, it was my friend. this my friend is in medical school. this my friend has being the person that had always motivated me to be a christian. we prayed every morning together(not in the last one week), go out together and stuff. so the person came by and ask if i wanted to go out to a single's luncheon. and all of a sudden i was excited and i said yes. on our way, the person handed me an envelope and said that was for me. it had MONEY in it. and i asked "wat for"
"oh i tot i should just give it to you" God has blessed me so why not". i was dumbfounded, shocked and almost started crying.
Immediately i was alone i started to apologise to God and thank Him for what he had done again, even though i did not deserve it.
I am very thankful to God for blessing me again, even at the nick of time. His time is always perfect.
Another testimony from 9jaot, God is good and He is alive, dont ever for once ever doubt his existence. He is the greatest father you can ever have.
If you have not given your life to Jesus and u are going through a lot, Try him and see, He is the unchangeable changer. King of Kings, lord of lords.
on a lighter mood. this happened some years back and made me think, why not be happy no matter wat happens to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5SXv8gcvEg see this too.
He is great.
ok i am having a crush on someone special. people keep your fingers crossed, might just invite you to the wedding. LOL
Thank you all for reading.

Fleshly sins
Masturbation is like "Down syndrome!"
Believers in Christ who masturbate should cry out to God for help!
Why draw a parallel between masturbation and "down syndrome"?
In Romans 7, Paul the Apostle hints of his inability to overcome a particular shortcoming, which he linked to his body. He stated in Romans 7:15-25 that he was compelled to act against his wish, a phenomenon aptly called "the law of sin and death."
Paul cried out for help, asking "who shall deliver me from this body of death?" Even though the word "covet" or "desire", as used in some translations to depict the problem of the apostle of Christ, has no bearing to masturbation, the frustration aired by him, however, is highly suggestive that his problem was "masturbation."
Paul said in Romans 7:15: "For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that I do." - KJV. For better translation, ESV says: For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
It is my belief that every one who masturbates, especially Christians, can identify with Paul. However, after Paul admitted his inability to overcome the flesh, he went ahead to sound a note of victory in Romans 8:1.
When people masturbate or fall short of what they hold to be God's standard, often times they promise God that such action would not repeat itself, only to fall again and again. They find themselves in a vicious cycle of "rising and falling" with resolves not to fall again. But they soon fall. Some have given up, believing that it is impossible to overcome masturbation; while some are still struggling, thinking that with more efforts, they would overcome.
Overcoming masturbation or any other nagging sin is NOT BY struggling or by resolving not to indulge in it, and neither is it by promising God that the flesh would be crucified. God never asked us to crucify the flesh as many preachers and teachers teach. What the Bible says is that we should mortify the deeds of the body:
"For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live." - Romans 8:13
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry -" Colossians 3:5
So, how can the believer in Christ be delivered from masturbation?
The process is quite simple, but the journey is painstaking. The hindrance to deliverance is that many people still consider themselves to be good; they think holiness is attained by human efforts and resolution. This is why God allows me to fall over and again until they reach a breaking point. A point where they conclude the following:
1. In me dwells no good thing.
2. No matter how I try, I cannot overcome.
3. For by strength I cannot overcome.
4. Help me Lord to overcome this habit! (No help came)
5. Have mercy on my soul, Lord!
Finally:
6. Thank you Lord for saving me by your Grace; I stop trying to overcome by myself!
Until you arrive at point#6 and stay there, help would remain elusive. Romans 8:1 is Paul's way of victory, yours cannot be different!
It's then that deliverance will come! And do you know the form the deliverance will take? It will start in form of inner strength that seems to be greater than the consequence of falling. Even when you fall, your fellowship with God remains intact! And it's not that God approves of your fallen state - not at all, it is just that with time you will receive GRACE to deny the urge to masturbate.
I know this has being a very controversial issue for some of my friends and also some people i know. i hope this helps and i hope God delivers all of us from any fleshly battle we are encountering. AMEN!!

IMAGINE!!!!
National University Commission, NUC, has announced that no fewer than 36 private universities operate illegally in Nigeria.
Executive Secretary of NUC Prof. Julius Okojie announced this Wednesday while briefing the media on the commission’s Data Base Project in Abuja.
He said "the universities have not been licensed by the Federal Government and are therefore operating illegally in violation of National Minimum Standards Act CAP E3 Law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 2004," hinting that certificates obtained from those sources would not be recognized for the purposes of National Youth Service Corps, employment and further studies.
He listed some of these universities to include North Central University Oturkpo, Blacksmith University, Awka, Atlanta University Ayingba, Royal University Izhia, University of Industry, Yaba and Leadway University, Ughelli among others.
Prof. Okonji therefore warned that anyone who patronized or obtained certificates from those institutions did so at his own risk, while disclosing that NUC was collaborating with security operatives to apprehend the culprits. He added that enough evidence should be gathered before charging them to court.
He lamented that the proprietors of these universities were amorphous in nature as they kept moving from one city to another when threatened.
imagine after four years you find out that your school is a fake, how sad naija must improve oo.
Anyways my week has been very busy as the semester is winding down to a close. mad homeworks, papers and assignments.
Thanks to all that always stop by and thanks to those that are following my blog cap baby and enigma. i am very grateful.
God bless you all

Nigeria: Lack of Rehabilitation Increases Disability - OT in spotlight
Nigeria: Lack of Rehabilitation Increases Disability - Expert
A medical expert and director of Willing Health Advocacy and Training Support (WHATS), Mrs Victoria Amu-Uwakwe has blamed the increase in number of disability and handicapped people in the country on lack of rehabilitation therapy services.
Amu-Uwakwe stated this at the advocacy meeting with Niger State Hospital Management Board and other professionals in health care management.
She maintained that if there was adequate occupational therapy services most cases of impairment would not have resulted in physical handicap where the individual would have to depend on others for existence.
According to her, "occupational therapy services will add more value to medical treatment and it will reduce the level of handicapped individuals in our society."
She lamented that the nation's health care delivery system has suffered several shortfalls, describing the most obvious as that of rehabilitation therapy, which she said had not been given the required attention, partly because of shortage of occupational therapists.
She regretted that Occupational Therapy service is almost non-existent in health institutions in the country.
The WHATS director who lamented that only five health institutions had Occupational Therapy Services out of the 58 health institutions (state hospitals, neuropsychiatry hospitals, university teaching hospitals and Federal Medical Centres) in the country, stated that the facilities in a few places where it was available were obsolete.
She said while most developing countries like Kenya which is smaller than Nigeria produce over 40 occupational therapists annually, the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile Ife, which is the only degree awarding institution, would be graduating its first set of six students in the year 2009.

how to not choose the wrong career
The craze for job has caused many youths to opt for just any job that comes their way rather than asking basic questions like who am I? Am I an introvert or an extrovert? What are my skills? What can I do? What do I really want to do if I have an opportunity to make a choice? Where am I going in life?
Sadly, the economic situation in the country has prevented many young people from pausing to ask the foregoing questions. And parents too are not helping matters. Once a child is born, most parents insist on a path the the child must toe. They do everything they can to create a mental entrapment of the child. Few take into cognizance the child's strength, skills, likes, dislikes, passion, opportunities and so on.
A few parents who observe the rule of studying a child and guiding him or her on the line he or she should take, based on the aforementioned factors are all happier for it and their children too are happy.
I have met many youths who are not really interested in the courses they found themselves doing in tertiary institutions, because such courses are foisted on them by their parents for one reason or the other.
The best way a parent can avoid friction with respect to a child's career direction is to engage the child in counselling. Career counsellors are trained to dig deep into a child's life and ask specific questions as to what the child wants to do with his or her life. Such counselling should be done near the end of the junior secondary classes, just before the child crosses into the senior secondary classes.
Parents and teachers need to make children aware of the various courses they can pursue and what they can do with them. Most youths suffer from what I call "career myopia". They only know about a few courses like Medicine, Pharmacy, Accounting, Law, Computer Science, Petroleum Engineering and other common professional courses. What about courses like Sociology, Psychology, Human Nutrition, Theatre Arts, Music, Agricultural Science, Management, Library Science, Physics, Estate Management, Fashion and Design, and so on? Many of these unpopular courses are key to the economic breakthrough that Nigeria needs at the moment.
I am sorry to say, but these are the courses of the future.
For example, if Nigeria decides to venture into space technology, it will need Physics majors. When our knowledge revolution booms, we will need qualified librarians to oversee the over one million libraries across the country.
It has been proven time and again that the child that pursues his or her heart desire is happier and succeeds earlier than the one who is forced to make a detour later in life to find his or her path.

Obama's assasinnation plots
According to the Associated Press, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, has identified two white supremacists who allegedly plotted to go on a national killing spree, shooting and decapitating black people and targeting Democratic presidential candidate Sen.Barack Obama.
Obama's overwhelming appeal to young voters has often been compared to the Kennedy brothers' mystique. And I think I speak for many voters who have been afraid to think, let alone say, the A word during this election year.
AP is reporting that two neo-Nazi skinheads – Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of Helena-West Helena, Ark. - who planned to kill 88 people, have been charged by federal authorities with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.
Both men are being held without bond. They had a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and thr
ee pistols when they were arrested.
Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, told AP that authorities took the threats very seriously.
"They said that would be their last, final act — that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying." adapted from LAtimes.
this is another one.
What is wrong with the violent people in this country?
This is so scary and sad.
How do you feel about this news?

Prospectives!!
In less than two weeks, history would be made in america, as you all know there are two historical party nominees, first one is Obama, barack, A forty eight year old mullato whose parents hail from kenya and USA. He was born in hawaii and made his way to senate house in chicago bla bla bla.. then chose an older guy to be his vice president Joe Biden.
the other guy his name is Mccain John, he was born in 1936 ( even my grandma calls him old) got into the army then into the house of senate in arizona bla bla bla and Chose a Woman to be his vice president, Sarah Palin
but now lets kinda talk about the women behind these men, cindy and michelle.
Michelle Robinson Obama.
January 17, 1964
she was executive director and now vice president of community and external affairs for the university of chicago medical center.
she got her bachelor's degree in sociology from princeton university (gbese, debt). she is also a graduate of Harvard law school (another gbese), where she received her juris doctor degree in 1988.
they got married in1992, and now have two daughters Malia, 1999 and Natasha, 2001.
Cindy Lou Hensley McCain.
May 20 1954.
she is the chair of hensley and Company, one of the largest Anheuser-Busch distributor in the nation. she has bachelor's degree in education and masters in secial education for the university of south california.
they got married in 1980 and have two sons and a daughter Meghan 1984, John 1986, James 1988 and an adopted fourth child Bridget from bangladesh in 1991.
Questions to ponder:
Now do you think they would change the colour of 1600 pennsylvania avenue if the minority nominee wins?
Do you think McCain combs his own hair?
Do you think the chewing gum would ever help Obama quit smoking?

weekend
This weekend has being kind of boring for me and i am trying to force myself to read but i have just not sat down to focus yet. GOD HELP ME!!!
Ok i had this friend that went to naija to get married. she had been dating the guy for about four years and he never kissed her or even touched her body in a sexual way. I mean they hugged cuddled but no Bobbie touching or kissing (tough right?) but the lady is an accountant and the guy a therapist. This mi friend took 4 weeks off of work just for the wedding and spent two weeks planning for the wedding in Nigeria with the help of her mother, sister and cousins and the remaining two weeks alone. the wedding was a blast and she kissed her husband for the first time when they said "you may kiss the bride". and she said it was lovely. they left Nigeria the Monday after wedding and arrived Yankee on Tuesday morning, by Wednesday evening, the couple left they city of residence and traveled to Florida for the usual honey moon. she gave me permission to post this so i ain't infringing.
ok that night they got to Florida the husband told her he wanted to visit an adult store, but because she had never visited one before she went with him. when they got there, he got a book called kamasutra 365 and a deluxe pack of rain coats, she was thinking that "i know this guy would take it easy with me sha".
so they got to their hotel room, on Wednesday night and did not leave until Sunday morning, where she said the transformation of her life began. after he plucked the flower, he gave her like 2 hours to heal then it all began. she did not go into details but said by Saturday night they were on number 204, and she was too ashamed to open the door and give the cleaners the trash because it was practically filled with raincoats. she said that even when she was cooking, she wasn't spared. I WAS JUST LAUGHING , REAL HARD!!!!

Ok i had this friend that went to naija to get married. she had been dating the guy for about four years and he never kissed her or even touched her body in a sexual way. I mean they hugged cuddled but no Bobbie touching or kissing (tough right?) but the lady is an accountant and the guy a therapist. This mi friend took 4 weeks off of work just for the wedding and spent two weeks planning for the wedding in Nigeria with the help of her mother, sister and cousins and the remaining two weeks alone. the wedding was a blast and she kissed her husband for the first time when they said "you may kiss the bride". and she said it was lovely. they left Nigeria the Monday after wedding and arrived Yankee on Tuesday morning, by Wednesday evening, the couple left they city of residence and traveled to Florida for the usual honey moon. she gave me permission to post this so i ain't infringing.
ok that night they got to Florida the husband told her he wanted to visit an adult store, but because she had never visited one before she went with him. when they got there, he got a book called kamasutra 365 and a deluxe pack of rain coats, she was thinking that "i know this guy would take it easy with me sha".
so they got to their hotel room, on Wednesday night and did not leave until Sunday morning, where she said the transformation of her life began. after he plucked the flower, he gave her like 2 hours to heal then it all began. she did not go into details but said by Saturday night they were on number 204, and she was too ashamed to open the door and give the cleaners the trash because it was practically filled with raincoats. she said that even when she was cooking, she wasn't spared.

Fati Asebelua
She is the creative director of Muses of Modern Origin (MOMO), a high-class fashion outfit based in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Fati, as she is simply called, came into the fashion industry a little over seven years ago. This woman with unmistakable exquisite taste is known for making eye-catching but sophisticated evening wear for women, and describes her style as "sporty glam look", adding that she designs for women with style that is "timeless, luxurious, and discerning".
A visit to either of her stores would convince you that this woman, who is the chairperson of glossy fashion magazine, Sleek, deserves a place in this list.
Dehinde Fernandez
He is Africa's gift to the world of class, high fashion and luxurious lifestyle. To begin to describe the way of life of this businessman, who is the Baron of Dudley, the Oluwo of Lagos, and the Garsan Fulani of Kano, is akin to writing a fairytale. However, the glamorous lifestyle of this Kano-based billionaire is there for all to see. From his beautiful yachts and jets, magnificent homes designed and built to suit his taste, there are indeed very few people who can match Fernandez's Èlan.
Otunba Subomi Balogun
By 1982 Otunba Subomi Balogun founded the First City Merchant Bank (FCMB). In moving with the times, after years of operating as a merchant bank, FCMB in January 2001, went into universal banking. The bank after re-engineering adopted a new name, First City Monument Bank. Born in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, he read law in England. But the philanthropist is better known for his trailblazing exploits in the financial sector. The life of the patriarch of the Balogun family is that of splendour. The Primrose tower head office of FCMB and some of its branch offices are architectural masterpieces. Otunba Balogun's private residences in Lagos and Ijebu-Ode, and his cars are a testament to the iconic status the renowned banker has achieved.
Alex Duduyemi
Chief Alex Duduyemi is a man a lot of young upwardly mobile guys look up to. His Ile-Ife mansion is a timeless architectural masterpiece, the same with his other homes across the globe. From his choice of clothes, his carriage and the cars he steps in and out from, it is easy to see why many regard him as a grand old man.
Aliko Dangote
He has been recognised by Forbes magazine as Nigeria's true billionaire. Alhaji Aliko Dangote has successful businesses that have made him stupendously rich. Though very much on the quiet side alongside his simple appearance, his palatial homes scream one word - luxury!
Chief Sunny Iwedika Odogwu
Ask us to define a lifestyle of luxury with two words, and we would say Sunny Dike Odogwu, the Ide Ahaba (Pillar of Asaba) has had decades of success in business spanning publishing, telecommunications, shipping and of recent, the hospitality industry.
Grand Hotel, Asaba, which is owned by this man of means, is rated among the very best in the country. These exploits have seen the Ide Ahaba, emerge as one of Africa's celebrated businessmen.
Chief Bayo Kuku
The Ogbeni-Oja of Ijebuland, Chief Bayo Kuku is one of the country's wealthiest men. He is not the flamboyant type, but the doyen of the Nigerian stock market is a man of high taste. His homes in Ijebu-Ode and Lagos are palatial. And for those who have been opportune to glimpse into Chief Kuku's Ikoyi residence at Old Warring Road, which has since been renamed after him as Bayo Kuku Road, would marvel at his taste. Chief Kuku has been around for decades, yet his wealth and energy haven't waned a bit. He can compete favourably with today's emerging billionaires.
Jim Ovia
The history of banking in Nigeria is incomplete without the mention of the Managing Director of Zenith Bank Plc, Mr. Jim Ovia. Ovia runs one of Nigeria's global brands. That he is a successful individual is stating the obvious, and with success comes his highflying lifestyle. Aside his love for exquisitely designed boats, Ovia lives in an eye-popping mansion - a testimony to his class. He is a member of the Lagos Boat Club.
Mike Adenuga
Billionaire businessman Otunba Mike Adenuga Jr., can't help but live a life of luxury. His homes and offices around the world speak volumes of the man, who is a major player in the African continent. Be it in oil and gas, telecom, banking, Adenuga is a force to reckon with. The helipad on the roof of Globacom headquarters is one example of how he lives in luxury; why get held up in the Lagos traffic jam when you can fly to your office? The Guru, as he is fondly called, must have asked himself before investing in the helipad.
Eyimofe And Dorothy Atake
Dr. Eyimofe Atake (SAN) and his pretty wife, Dorothy, make a lovely pair. Born in 1958, the learned gentleman did most of his schooling in England, where he obtained LL.M from the London School of Economics, a PhD from Darwin College, University of Cambridge, in 1987. He has over 20 years experience in legal profession having been called to the bar in Nigerian in 1983. Atake and Dorothy, who is also a lawyer, for many younger folks is a model couple. Their lifestyle is classy without being ostentatious.
Leo Stan Ekeh
Unarguably one of Nigeria's most distinguished personalities, Ekeh, though having interest in insurance, banking and manufacturing, is best known as the Chairman of Task Systems and Zinox Computers. The Imo State-born businessman's home has no rival when it comes to state-of-the-art IT equipment. This has made it possible for the entire Ekeh mansion to be controlled electronically.
Moses Ayum
He started out in Abuja with an upscale interior dÈcor outfit, Cherrywood. Now, this Benue State-born businessman is better known for his luxury hotels in highbrow areas. They include Bay Dorchester Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos; Edge Water Resorts, Cherrywoods and Kaduna Lodge in Lagos and Abuja. These hotels are for only those who can afford to pay for luxury.
Chief Razaq Akanni Okoya
Chief Razaq Okoya (CON) personifies the Nigerian dream; his story is that of from grass to grace. Chief Okoya is a business colossus; a man of means this Eleganza boss. Despite not being born rich, he is among Nigeria's most successful industrialists and has impeccable taste. His birthday parties and other family functions make the headlines in society magazines. Other ways to measure the level of luxury Okoya and his family lives is through his investment in properties in different parts of Lagos. Okoya's Oluwaninsola Estate at Lekki/Ajah Expressway, his Eleganza Gardens and Shopping Mall also in Ajah, all point to the fact that Okoya does nothing in half measures.
John Obayuwana
John Obayuwana is the brain behind Polo, Nigeria's number one designer wristwatch store. His clientele is made up of the highly sophisticated, those who appreciate what it means to own luxury brands.
Tony Elumelu
This United Bank for Africa (UBA) CEO needs little or no introduction. Many young men in business schools all over want to be like Tony Elumelu. His rise in the banking industry has shattered all records and stereotypes. Despite this, Elumelu has remained a simple guy; he probably wouldn't have made this list if his bank did not blaze the trail in luxury banking. Yes, the UBA Prestige bank is a luxury brand, strictly for those who have made it and can afford tailor-made banking services.
Andre Herrenschmidt
He is the General Manger of Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja. Since its over 20 years of doing business in Nigeria, the Hilton Hotel has catered for world leaders, captains of industry, celebrities and wealthy entrepreneurs.
It is a well-known fact that only the highly placed in the society enjoys the luxury of being a regular guest at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel.
Tajudeen Dantata
He is the Group Managing Director of Dantata Group of Companies. Though not one to show off, Dantata, a +2 handicap, loves the game of polo. And don't be deceived; this game is as energy-sapping as it is money-guzzling.
Chief Chris Ogunbanjo
Born in Erunwon, Ijebu-Ode, a lawyer and highly revered corporate player, Chief Chris Ogunbanjo, for many, epitomises nobility. The Olotu of Ijebuland is stupendously rich. He has over the years represented a lifestyle of panache and finesse. Many younger corporate players are emulating his lifestyle.
Adekunle Ojora
This 77-year-old magnate's investments in various companies add up to billions of naira. From his signature outfits to his automobiles, and his homes in different parts of the world, Otunba Adekunle Ojora, a Lagos aristocrat, is one man who has lived a life of luxury.
Chief Richard Akinjide
Be it in politics, business or the legal profession, Chief Richard Akinjide is a successful man, who had often been described as an Ibadan elite. Those who call Akinjide patriarch elite do so because of his trailblazing exploits, having represented Ibadan South East at the age of 27, and became a minister in his 30s. Akinjide's home in Jericho, Ibadan, is intimidating.
Willie and Nkiru Anumudu
This couple lights up the Lagos social scene. Nkiru is unarguably one of Nigeria's most fashionable women. She has a wealthy husband in Willie, who owns Globe Motors, to make sure she is constantly decked in clothes from major labels of the world. To say that Willie and Nkiru live a life of luxury is stating the obvious.
Tayo Ayeni
Want to buy a car that will make heads turn? Talk to Tayo Ayeni, but be armed with your cheque book, of course. He is one of the leading auto dealers in Nigeria. He is Chairman/CEO of Skymit Motors. Majority of the wonder-on-wheels you see in the country were bought from this man. Now, you understand why he is one of the kings of luxury.
Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas
Many over time have come to define success with the life of Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas. This Chairman of CFAO is a doyen of African business. Okoya-Thomas is also chairman of other companies with French origin. He is a recipient of the Chevalier De La Legion D'Honneur, the highest national honour given by the French to a foreigner.

An industrialist, he is chairman of Honeywell Group, which comprises eight companies with interest in flour milling, oil and gas, engineering, real estate and marine transport.

Tunde Folawiyo
He is the son of Alhaji Wahab Iyanda Folawiyo, the late Baba Adini of Nigeria. Though the younger Folawiyo lives his life far away from limelight, his lifestyle is very much similar to that of a prince.
Sunny Asemota
Chief Sunny Omoregie Asemota, chairman of Sunny Motors, belongs to the Lagos high society. A man of style and panache, he is not one to be associated with anything that has no class. Extremely wealthy, the Sunny Motors boss is one man those who hope to live a lifestyle of luxury must emulate. His homes, cars, wardrobes speak the language of luxury.
Otega Emerhor
Businessman and former banker, Otega Emerhor and his lovely wife, Rita, are one of the powerful couples in Lagos. They have all it takes to live a life of luxury.

友情は貴重である
yǒu yì shì wú jiàFRIEND SEARCH: Friend detector activated...
calibration complete,
now searching......still searching....
still searching......sorry, no friends found.
This is exactly how i have been feeling since i left Nigeria, i have not had any real friends that has stood the real test with me, they are either too selfish o they become too jealous when i try to help others too.
Ok let me describe myself a little, i like to go out of my way sometimes to help people no matter what it costs, most times i am always on the loosing end but it is ok as long as they are happy. I love to make friends with new people because i know knowledge, apart from God and bible , comes from people, so i try to be as friendly as i can be.
don't get me wrong i dont try to plaese everybody, because if i do i am offending God. I just try my best, i have had friends leave me because they have jealousy in them because"i am too kind".
Or wait maybe it is me that has the issues??? hmnmmn... but is it wrong to be nice?
or maybe it is because i am the type that likes to be told the truth all the time, even if my breath stinks: TELL ME!! and maybe i have being too harsh on some of them by telling them how i feel about something they just did and they not liking it.
I have had a friend that we have being very close since kindergaten and even though we are like five thousand two hundred and forty four plus
miles away from each other we are still very close. i can call the person today and we would catch up on so many things, i have made friends also along my educational line that i have also added to my friends list and we all talk. i use the trees as a meaphor of me and my friends in nigeria, we can reach and communicate over a plot of land (issues) but we cant touch...hmnnso now i am wondering is finding good friends in yankee that tough or is it just me?? everybody is all about themselves, money and only call you when they need your help.
sometimes i call people to just say hi and they think i need something from them, or they just want to end the call the moment they say hello. and trust me i am not a stalker because i dont like being turned down, so i can be friends with you for like weeks and not have your number because i want it to be mutual and not a right for me to have it.
ok let me give you some examples:
this girl, we worked together thru the semester, me helping her and vice versa. two weeks after the semester ended i just called to say hello and after like 2 rings it went to Vmail, and because i did not expect that i hung up and then dialed it again just to leave a Vmail, then her boifriend picked it up:
BF: hello
9jaot: hi can i be on to .....
BF: who is this?
9jaot: it is me ......
BF: she doesn't want to talk to you anymore (she was gigling in the back).
i just deleted her number str8, wat insult.
i have had so many like this that we work together thru the semester and after that they tell u not to call them again. WOW, such is life!!
but i have had one great american friend that we have been thru thick and thin and we are still friends till today, it is like pinky and the brain kind of friendship, one tall one short, one thin one fatty and so on LOL but it ends every semester and picks up the next. but right now we are no longer in the same school, the person even plans to come to my school, that is how close we are.
so many stories. even naija people are not very diferent, some want you just for sex and others for benefits. That is not what life is about, *sobs*
i just want a friend for me !!! is that too much to ask????
these are just my thoughts and i did not proofread at all, sorrry if it sounds weird or distorted ......

hmnn.. serenity
I know i have been away for a while now, i was trying to gather information for my blog and also focus on school work.
As you have being reading from my other posts, i am really focused, by the grace of God, on the change of the health care system and mentality in Nigeria. so i have being looking into health journals and health reports from the people that have dispensability to the real facts about Nigerian health sector. I am still working on it and would still need to pray alot i know. Please pray for me as you remember.
one question: how many of you can name you Great grand father and mother?
The bible says that sins our fourth generation past fathers commited are what we are paying for now, so why dont we focus on making Nigeria a better place for people that might not even know our names but are in our line of generations, by doing the right thing , even while we can.
Exodus 34:7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation."
Numbers 14:18 'The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.'
But he also said,
2 Kings 10:30 The LORD said to Jehu, "Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in my eyes and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation."
Also i went to church today, after so long of watching it online because i was not sure of the church God wants me in, although i am still not sure, but thank God sha.
the sermon today was on Serenity prayer, which states:
God grant me the
serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and
wisdom to know the difference.
This has being a prayer that i always over looked or just said it without thinking, but the sermon got me thinking today, it is a prayer every body really needs. I pray God reveals it to us all.
My week was ok. being really fatigued lately without doing anything, i have prayed about it and i know God will help me. hope all of you had a great week and have a blessed week ahead.

News..
Friday, another end of the week, got to fixing my room and actually did some good things today in the abscence of classes. felt so much better from days before. Glory be to God.
Going to talk about some Nigerian news. first
The third mainland bridge which has being closed for the past 2 months would be reopened on sunday, september 28 at 12 midnight. The Minister of Transportation, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, who disclosed this at a press briefing on Friday in Abuja , put the total contract sum for the rehabilitation of the
Third Mainland bridge at N762 million. CRAZY!! the bridge was closed down because some of the expansion points of the structure were loosing their integrity. she said the other aspects of the bridge would be looked into within the next one year to do more work, and urged lagosians to be cooperative. She also apologized to Lagosians for the disruption and inconviniences the last two months might have been to them.
I guess lagos will got its grove back now
A lagos based radio station, Coolfm might just loose all its fan base. beca
sue the last month has not being very cool for them, they lost three of their most influencial and fan attracting people, Olisa Adibua, Dan Foster and Chris ubosi. Dan who has being the heart of the morning ride to work for a few years now, was said to have being offered another job as the Head of Programmes at Inspiration FM, a new Lagos-based radio station reportedly owned by Intercontinental Bank's Erastus Akingbola. I guess he accepted their offer.
I wish both him and coolfm the best of Luck
The Nigerian singer Rymzo was shot on his way to abuja on the 18th of september. The dancehall king was shot in his right arm after his ride was attacked by robbers in benin. " i am still in a shock of disbelief" he said. he is recovering and receiving treatment from an undisclosed clinic in benin.
I wish him safe and fast recovery.
I heard from a source that Sean Kingston might be in Ogun state this independence season.
lets keep our fingers crossed
9ice finally on friday, shot the video for his famous song, Gongo aso. he said it would come out after studio work and might just be released on his VCD. Lets hope for the best.
Daddy fresh has a new album coming out. The 16 track album "would be released soon" he said
Finally, Kemistry of Rhythm Fm also quit and moved on to inspiration fm. I guess the radio station is taking over Big time, with all these employment of the industry's shakers and movers. Fingers crossed, lets see what they have to show for it.
have a great week end and remember, God is the incorruptable Judge.

Thinking....
Woke up today at a few minuutes to eight, and then looked around the room, "what happened, what has been going on in my room?...am i loosing my mind, everywhere is a mess and even my small kitchen has dishes all over the place!!"
Has the week been that stressful or am i just being very lazy now? i mean my room was until last week the envy of my friends that they all wanted to come live with me, because it was too neat.!!!
Am i hitting quarter life crisis? but wait that would be too freaking early....hmmnn i still have years to go, even if it was, are these the symptoms? so many tots ...
my school week ended today, so i am going shopping with the little money i got from an uncle and also lay down a little afterwards to calm my brain. The whole week was nice, got to be motivated by some friends to continue a work out plan.
The devil tried so many times this week but i would only say he was able to get me once, but i would not let that one time over power me as "He that is in me is Greater than he that is in the world". So get thee behind me satan!!!
God please forgive me and continue to make me stronger than my temptations. AMEN
Sad day for Nigerian broadcasters as they lost one of their ogbontarigis (significant figures) to cancer. Olayinka Babasanya Craig, as he is officially known lost his months long battle with cancer in Mayo clinic, Rochester Minnesota. the battle which lasted about two years did not, until his death affect his jovial persona or his love for sports.
He was a pioneer radio and television broadcaster, sports journalist extraordinaire and a national icon. He was one of Nigeria's foremost broadcasters and he worked with Nigerian Television authority. Earlier this year the Lagos state Government gave his family, fifteen million naira (one hundred and fifty thousand dollars) to aide the payment for the stem cell transplant he came for in the USA.
he is survived by his wife, Dr Kehinde, his sons, Dr. Olamide, Mr. Olayinka and a daughter, Temilola.
I guess God's timing is always best. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

What a day!
Woke up at eight am after hitting the snooze on my alarm like a million times. ok got up and noticed that my right arm was seriously hurting from trying to give blood yesterday and and also my tummy was hurting from a gym abs class i had a day before, which i need as my tummy is like that of a pregnant woman. all i needed was to take some medicine but i couldn't because i had a spiritual plan for the day....painful.
Class was kind of fun, got to class early, my first lecture was from a lecturer who taught foundations of occupational therapy and was always sacarstic, so i was able to laugh over the pain a little and while laughing, i was feeling the pains in my tummy. went back to my room after my last class and had a great nap after taking some pain killers and woke up great only to get back to assignmens and stuff.
I have something bothering me, is it wrong for a woman to be head of a congregation? if you have an answer just post a comment please. Thanks God bless.

MY class
My class is a very funny one. did i ever mention that i am the only opposite sex in the class of forty people. which to me is very advantageous and could be vice versa also. i have to beg to be heard as i am the weaker sex....Gosh LOL
Ok my classes are going on well, getting some understanding by the grace of God, although still having some level of distinction problems, as in language of graduate school and scheme of work.
My first two tests have been good and still woking on improving, my other grade options have been maximized and i noticed that those other ones even count more than the tests. I got a place close to home for my First field work and i pray i continue to be favoured by God like this.
If you are reading this and you have not given your life to Jesus i suggest you do so, so me and you can have things in common and also share more testimonies.
Ok, now i have to go back to studying and try to accomplish some things tonite.
God is great.

Greatest yet 2
So i went home and was very grateful to God.
For the next two days, i was expecting my letter of admission from the school but nothing came in the mail. I then woke up on friday and headed back to the school, with gas prices so high i just had to risk a full tank of gas. Got there and went into the admission office, where i met the "helper" and he said he has been meaning to call me for two day that i needed to bring my transcript from the college i went to in naija before he could accept me.
Wow two days, i thought, and classes start on monday???
I told him i cannot get the transcript in 2 days from naija. and then he said "i cannot help you then".
I almost started crying, but i thought "i serve a living God and he has the hearts of kings and queens in his hands, God please make me laugh out of here".
so i went out side and prayed and he answered before i came back, a company that evaluates international results had my result from the college and he, "the helper' called them and they faxed it over to him. i was very happy and this happened (shocking).
OT; thank God
Helper: "Who is God, He has nothing to do with this, i did this..."
OT: (farted in his pants and thought "what did he just say") "thank you helper, thank God too."
Still astonished by what he had just said, left the office to go outside and thank God.
by this time my time piece was saying 5.30 pm and i had a prayer meeting to lead in church for 7.00 pm.. "How would i do that without gettin a ticket"??? God dey
As i stormed back into the office to see what was happening, the helper reluctantly gave me a paper to sign and he said that was my admission letter. thanked him again and then stormed out of the office to be on my way.
Headed back to town and get to the prayer meeting just in time to meet the grace (end of the prayer session),
Thank God for a Great day in his presence and knowing he still loves me.
whatever you are looking for God will give to you this week, even if he has to use a non christian. AMEN.
God bless you

Family day
Today was family day in my school. A day when we as aspiring occupational therapists bring our families to school for them to see us take the occupational therapist creed and also bring a special someone to put on the occupational therapist badge on our chests.
Another feature of the day is poster presentation where we make posters to show to our families about areas in which occupational therapists can work examples are acute care, low vision clinics school systems and so on.
"...... don't worry they will get a good job right out of school and make good money..." those were the words of my department chair, which brought a lot of relieve to parents as they started clapping and cheering. That brought me to thinking, is going to school all about making money and not happiness or what God called you to do, to these people or just a form of relieve since most people don't know what occuaptional therapists do and job chances?? hmnn... i guess i would know the answer someday.
I am loving my Career choice already, I know by the grace of God i would not dislike where i would work or who i would work with because i have hope in Jeremiah 29:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Hope as you read this you have the same hope as i do in Christ Jesus. God bless you.
