Relief.. or?

So now I'm not like sooo entirely glad about this but its kind of a relief...

Not because I'm only thinking about myself cos then I'll seem like one of those greedy Nigerians who have embezzled Nigerian money in dollars BUT
Because I was very afraid of how this process will actually take place.. how detrimental it may be and how many people may suffer as a result of not so much as the implementation of this new plan but will suffer because of lack of education -- illiteracy maybe... they may not understand the plan...
Okay, I don't know if i'm making too much sense... but I was afraid... then mad cos I thought it was a bad idea

Much later, I discussed with some very smart & more experienced Nigerians including my mommy and the economics of it all made sense but the implementation part was SUSPECT! It seemed VERY VERY FAR REACHING, almost impossible!! It took me (an intelligent MBA student) days of pondering and research to see some positive sense in it talk less of what / how much it will take an illiterate pepper seller...

So you see, even though I feel bad that this has been stopped (temporarily I think), I'm also relieved; now Nigerians have time to make any preparations if necessary and maybe even reconstruct their thinking and reset their minds given full explanation of Soludo's proposal.

Please visit a Nigerian News website for more info. on this... Apparently, Soludo's proposal has been torpedoed because he did not consult the President before making the announcement... (rumour has it that he was called to order by Northerners)

Politics in Nigeria WILL change... SOON!
Obviously, someone is trying to protect something by protesting this supposedly good plan...

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK GUYS!

SOOOOO FrIkKiNg IrRiTaTeD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I'm soooooooooooooo MAD!!!!!!! What d hell??!!!!! I'm feel like tightening someone's throat till their tongue comes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay... that scene is gross

BUT still.............

WHYYYYYY??? WHHHYYYYYY??? Do Nigerians in power always come up with ways to make me sooooo mad!!! They keep tempting me 2 pray bad prayer 4 them!!

Please oh!!! has anyone else heard about this new plan to "Dollarize our Naira"?


Does it even make sense? How can Soludo propose to change the naira so ONE DOLLAR equals ONE NAIRA, TWENTY FIVE KOBO as in $1.00 = N1.25!!!?????

RIDICULOUS I tell u! I am appalled! When I first heard it, I thought it was a joke! Now I'm reading it.... U should read it too, maybe I'm too riled up to see the economic benefit.

Okay, basically what they're saying is they are removing two zeros from our money so that N50,000 becomes N500, as in an item that costs N50,000 will now cost N500... same value, same item... basically N50,000 is the new N500!
I'm upset because I don't think it makes too much sense too me, its all good.

You could google it to find more news, but here are some links:

"Someone once told me that girls like me end up with jerks."

A sociology / psychology major, he went on to explain the mechanics of his statement, shedding light on case scenarios, psychological theories and real life statistics. I thought he was trying to hit on me.

Lately or since 'this' , its been one criticism or another, one "sign" or another. I'm NOT confused or worried, I'm just wondering if I'm supposed to be worried.... feel me?

Just because a girl of marriageable age is totally inexperienced with relationships doesn't mean she is doomed, or does it?
There are sooo many common sense things, the problem is some of them just don't make sense anymore. Like this posting...

I don't know jare...

How is it possible that there are soooooooooo MANY glaring signs -
PULL OUT!!! PULL OUT!!!!
Yet, yours truly remains strangely obstinate, like there's sth to hold on to.... is there really?

True or False?
"What if your will is harmful to you", I asked.
My friend said, "God will put you in a position that'll force you to change or will or put situations around you that'll make you change your will, and you must change it if you are wise"

I have to pray against the Spirit of stubbornness...

Okay people, its been REAL....

Errrrrrrr.....

OYM – So you’re Nigerian?

dScribe – Yes Sir

OYM – Which part of Nigeria are you from?

dScribe – I’m Igbo from Anambra State

OYM – Oh, I’ve been there…

OYM’s friend – ah Onisha (with Yoruba accent)

dScribe – That’s actually my town

OYM – It’s a terrible place (turns to friend starts speaking Yoruba, then turns back to me) Igbo people are very greedy, they can do anything for money, even kills for money (gesticulating)

dScribe – really? That hasn’t been my personal experience though. I lived in Onitsha for six years, its quite dirty though but all the Igbos I know are pretty generous and open. My father is not greedy…

OYM – (turns to friend and they’re speaking Yoruba, my phone rings, I pick up, talk briefly and hang up then I turn back to them)

dScribe – Yes? You were saying?

OYM – I was just telling my friend here, that you are not a true Igbo

dScribe – (at this point I’m boiling) really?

OYM – Yezz, you can’t be a true Igbo

dScribe - And why is that? I lived there 6 years, speak my language well, eat my food, go home every Christmas. How am I not truly Igbo?

OYM – Because a true Igbo will take offense to my statement

dScribe – No sir, I’m very open-minded. Everyone has views about everyone, as Christians we shouldn’t take it to heart. Do you know what they say about Yoruba’s, Sir?

OYM – What do they say, is it not mgba ti gba ti?

dScribe – No sir, they say you are all shady, cowards, diabolical, pretentious, smile in the face – kill in the back, the cause of the fatality in the Biafran war.

OYM – (staring at me stupidly in stupor)

dScribe – Yes sir, but you see the Igbos are very bitter about the current state of affairs in the Igbo communities at large. I’m currently reading Biafran books by Yoruba leaders to educate myself and educate others in the long run.

OYM – (goes into a historical chatter about the war, then tells me he knows I’ll be a great leader, we exchange cards…)

MY COMMENTS

I am a strong believer that every problem has a root cause. To the offender the cause is never a big deal; to the offended the grievance is indeed grievous and sometimes absolutely unforgivable. For instance, Patricia is angry with Steve because he took her chips without asking. Steve doesn’t think it’s a big deal because he planned on telling her anyway, she’s angrier about his indifference and lack of remorse, he maintains its bygones, besides its not that serious.

Patricia is very sensitive and almost petty, she stops talking to Steven anymore, she feels she’s being taken for granted and disrespected.

I wish the tribal issue in Nigeria was that simple, or better still – nonexistent…

QUICK QUESTION: More members of his family love his ex, if Efe wasn't in the picture, there's a probability that his ex and him will get back together... What should Efe do?

BE BLESSED Y'ALL!

AUGUST 1ST

Here's to wishing EVERYONE of you a BLESSED MONTH!

I just know its going to be blessed for everyone of us. Today, I read that God's power is MADE PERFECT in weakness. Also that Eagles don't run away from a storm, they face the storm and allow the wind to make them soar high! Unlike other birds that run to hide when there's a storm.

I encourage all of us to be like the Eagle this month and face every storm with bravery, God's power and the faith that the Lord has filled us with... We CAN conquer all forms of difficulty with a positive attitude, prayer and praise!!

Have a WONDERFUL August, and let your August visitor bring loads of Goodies, Amin!!!!
