<br />
<span style="background: white;">My name
is Jeana and am a divorced mother of a teenage son. I work as</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">a private
duty nurse for special needs children. I also can teach</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">ballet.
I'm a dancer,teacher, and choreographer. I write songs, plays,</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">poems,
inspirational pieces. I also sing and act. Am the junior</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">daughter
of a retired Church of God pastor</span><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="background: white;">My
dislikes are obnoxious, bigoted loud, ignorant,close-minded people;</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">milk,
seafood, mushrooms, country music, bridges over water, heights,</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">body odour/poor
hygiene, liars, players, child molesters, women who</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">misrepresent
what being a woman means,men who won't grow up and handle</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">responsibilities.
I believe that my only obligation is to love others,</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">not judge
them; but through love show them what the nature of God</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">truly
stands for and means.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I live in
Erie,Pennsylvania in the United States. I lived in</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Cleveland,
Ohio the first 6 years of my life.I used to go to Canada</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">every
summer with my family (a two hour drive),but not since 9/11. I</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">went to
Nassau,Bahamas alone for a week. Hope to soon realize a dream</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">of being
in Nigeria soon.</span><br />
<br /><br />
<span style="background: white;">I had a
great childhood,with loving parents and a senior sister.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Extended
family was my social life for a long time. But one thing I've</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">learned
is that you have to live your life for your own happiness</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">because
only you have to look in the mirror and be pleased with</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">everything
you've done.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I am an
african-american woman. In my father's heritage is Cherokee</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Indian.
In my mother's heritage is Black Foot and Crow Indian,as well</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">as a
small amount of European blood. The European blood came in from</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">when my
maternal great grandmother was raped by the master's son</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">resulting
in the birth of my grandfather;that was very common over</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">here
during and after slavery.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Both of
my parents are also of African ancestry;both Blacks and</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Indians
were oppressed and sometimes interacted and had children</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">together,so
my ancestry is Africa. I don't know which people because</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">slavery
erased our history. Over here, everything Black and/or African</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">is
thought of as bad. It wasn't until about 5 years ago I dated this</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">footballer
who wanted me to learn his culture. This was my first real</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">experience
with African people. It felt like coming home.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I am not
your typical african-american woman. We were poor but</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">blessed.I
had many experiences because my parents exposed us to many</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">things.
We traveled,attended concerts of gospel artistes and symphony</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">orchestras.
Because of our Christian upbringing, we were taught all</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">people
are equal. We socialized and worshiped with all peoples.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Education
was very important. Taking ballet opened up a whole new</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">world for
me. When we moved to Erie,our family (aunts,uncles,cousins)</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">were a
gospel choir and we sang throughout the tri-state area.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Like I
said, ballet changed my life. The self-discipline made us even</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">better
students. Performing in the tri-state area exposed us to many</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">people
and places. Our school was fortunate to offer us exposure to</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">artistes
from the Dance Theater of Harlem, the Alvin Ailey Dance</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Company.
My own instructor was a principal dancer for the Pittsburgh</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Ballet
Theater. We were exposed to ballet, jazz, modern and</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">traditional
African dance. I stopped dancing in my senior year of high</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">school,
but found myself back into dance at age 19 when my instructor</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">invited
me to be an instructor with the school I learned. This started</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">a time in
my life that I loved. From attending arts conferences to</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">watching
professional dancers up close and meeting them in person. It</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">just
opened my mind to creativity. While my dad was in college, he was</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">privileged
to be one of three drivers for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">before he
became a national figure.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I also
taught dance at a predominantly white high school. So I went to</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">school
and worked two dance teaching jobs at the same time. I also</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">went to a
business school. I have a 2-year degree in being a Medical</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Assistant.
I didn't finish the business course cos the fees were quite</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">expensive
but I later enrolled into nursing school and qualified as a</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">nurse
since 1997.I started in the hospital with all different</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">cases...great
experience. After a year and a few months, worked for a</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">facility
for brain injury cases. My ex also worked there, that's how</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">we met.
After 6 months, I then worked in the elderly home. Did that</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">type of
work for 11 years. Now I'm working with special needs children</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">and I
love it</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I held on
to a secret from my childhood. As a young child,I was</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">molested
by an uncle. Because of that, I always feel ugly,dirty,</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">always
trying to make others happy at my own expense,have trust issues</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">and even
married a man who was emotionally, financially, mentally and</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">verbally
abusive. It affected my self-esteem,my confidence,my way of</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">dealing
with feelings and standing up for myself. It led me to almost</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">committing
suicide, but I thank God I didn't. Otherwise, I would have</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">missed
all the good God has blessed me within life now</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I lost my
virginity at age 15. I was anorexic at one time...not eating</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">for two
weeks. In my marriage, I became addicted to food and celibate</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">for 11
years of the 13 years I was married.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The year
2013 was the beginning of my "job" experience. My ex-husband</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">committed
suicide in March of that year. Then in December I lost my</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">mother
and job. In March 2014,the government started taking my wages</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">to pay
for my late ex-husband 's tax debt. A "friend " scammed me out</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">of money,
leaving me with very little money to the point I was eating</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">every 4
days. At times I felt that I would die but I continued to</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">trust in
God.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Also
during that time, my dad had a stroke and my fiancé and I were</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">having
problems,and almost ended things. But many things have changed</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">for the
better. Because of my faith in God and his unchanging hand,I</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">have
learned many things about His goodness and all I lost is being</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">restored.
Even the starving brought about a positive change in me. I</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">thank God
for everything.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">More on
my ex...he was very abusive, he called me disgusting names</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">like
being a fat,lazy f**king b***h all the time. He would be mean to</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">our son...saying
in his presence "I never wanted you in the first</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">place
". My son was only two years old then but those were really</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">hurtful
words for a kid that age.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">He kept
getting credit cards and maxing them out then would stop</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">working
without notice and expected me to use my tithes money to pay</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">his bills
since i made more. He wanted to sell our home and get money.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I said
no, so he left,and left me with all the responsibility. When I</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">heard he
was sleeping in his car, I allowed him back in the home, to</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">sleep in
our son's room and pay rent. He later asked me what would</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">make be
happy and I told him I wanted a divorce, and he later agreed</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">to us
ending the marriage.</span><br />

<span style="background: white;">You have
to be very selfish when it comes to marriage. This is the</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">rest of
YOUR life. Make sure you will be happy with your decision</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">until you
die. Take your time to get to know who you are marrying</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">before
you enter into marriage,If you're not comfortable with</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">something
about them, get it resolved before you commit or rather walk</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">away.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">More
about my son...I had many doctors tell me i could not have</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">children.
Again, God heard my prayers. It was a high risk pregnancy</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">but i
loved every minute of it! Then I got to hold my son and fell in</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">love.
Truthfully, I was afraid that he would be ugly because of my</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">self-image
problems. Hahahahaha. But he looks just like me and is not</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">ugly at
all! Thank God.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background: white;">He is a
very intelligent child. I did not read the classic fairy tales</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">to him as
a night time story...no, he wanted me to read car brochures</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">to him.
You know those booklets that gave a detailed description of a</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">new
vehicle. That was at the age of 3. As he learned to read, he would</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">memorize
all the streets from the one we lived to the dividing line</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">between
east and west of the city. He loved trees and studied about</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">them. He
could tell you what kind of tree just looking at a leaf.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">However,
when he got to school, learning was a problem because he has</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">a
different way of processing information. I believe he was bored. His</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">early
years in a traditional public school (free education over here)</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">wasn't
easy. We then tried out a Montessori school (also free,</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">otherwise
we couldn't afford it). It was there he blossomed as a</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">student
and person.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The whole
experience from feeling him kick and move inside of me, to</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">watching
him start off helpless then grow and start doing things on</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">his
own....each second is a blessing!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background: white;">He is now
in Cyber school which is also free. The laptop, printer,</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">books,
workbooks and supporting materials like a microscope are all</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">free and
provided by the school.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">On
racism,I've also had my fair share as a black american.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Go to a
store, the security follows you and it is very obvious. Just</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">last year
that happened at one store. I made sure they knew my</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">displeasure.
I went to a store I never shopped before. Looking for a</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">shrug to
go with a strapless dress. I found one for $8. Since i had</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">never
been there, my son and I decided to walk around to see what they</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">had. I
had the shrug on a hanger . Every time we turned around, the</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">uniformed
guard was close. So i said in not a quiet voice that we were</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">leaving
and never coming back. I'm carrying a $400 purse, why would i</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">want to
steal a cheap $8 top? Haven't been back</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">there
since then.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">As a
nurse, some places don't want Black nurses. I had applied to one</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">old folks
home because they had an ad in the paper. I applied on a</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">tuesday,
the very next day got a "sorry but we aren't going to hire</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">you"
letter on wednesday. Meaning that while I was there the letter</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">was typed
and mailed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">My former
in-laws(my ex is caucasian)....I stayed away from the family</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">gatherings
after a while. Shortly after we married,his father died. I</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">was asked
not to attend the funeral. I did send my condolences by</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">letter
and made sure to have God be the main focus. I had to hide my</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">pregnancy
from my mother-in-law. And my son didn't meet her until he</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">was 6
months old. When my ex committed suicide, some uncles didn't</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">speak to
my son at the funeral. They didn't invite him to the</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">apartment
to pick a memento of his father. When the ex's ashes were</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">spread
over the lake, my son was also excluded from that. So we have</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">nothing
to do with them anymore.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I
remember as a ballet teacher,a shopping mall was just recently</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">opened
then and our ballet company was invited to perform there. When</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">we drove
up and they realized that 99% of the dancers were Black, we</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">were
stopped from even entering the mall. We later performed there a</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">few years
later after our reputation had soared in the area.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I am a
democrat and I've even made donations to the party.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">It just
upsets me how they attack the President just because of his</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Black
skin. They call him the devil, yet he is trying to get America</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">to look
and function more like what a Christian nation should be.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I think
it is sad that the party which claims to represent the</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Christian
point of view is the same party which fights legislation for</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">higher
wages for people,health care insurance for all citizens,job and</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">gender
equality,fight against feeding the hungry and housing the</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">homeless.
That is the main reason I don't support the Republican</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">party.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">The
Republican party has become the party of racial division. I</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">watched a
documentary on the History Channel named "The Secret History</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">of the
KKK". It was during the late 1800s and early 1900 that the KKK</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">became
the powerhouse behind the Republican party.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">For
me,christianity is not a cookie cutter religion. Christianity is a</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">personal
relationship with God. My struggles are not your struggles. I</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">cannot
judge how you deal with things but I can be there to help, give</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">a deeper
understanding and to pray with and for you. I daily deal with</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">an
addiction developed due to my molestation . But the years of</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">celibacy
prepared me for the strength to stay faithful to my</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">long-distance
fiance now. Each experience is a stepping stone to the</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">next
level of life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Wow! That
was a no holds barred chat I had with my guest on the</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">series,join
me another time for another interesting experience,cheers!</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

He shares his story but would like his identity hidden,enjoy his story as I serve it to you hot as always,lol<br /><br />There is this idea most of us have about people abroad,wherever, even if in a third world country,so far it is beyond the shores of<br />Nigeria. They are often very highly regarded (unnecessarily most<br />times) especially by those who haven’t seen beyond the Nigerian shores except in movies or through any other media.<br /><br />I have not really been the must-travel type but somehow, I have been to a few places outside Nigeria. Great experiences, I must confess,but it is always very difficult for me to imagine myself settling down to live in these places. Yeah, nice environment, working systems,impressive structures and infrastructures… but something beyond all these always makes me yearn for home; something keeps telling me,<br />“Home will always be home, nowhere can ever be like home.”<br />However, there is something very amazing and very interesting,a<br />mystery not too hard to unravel, about life abroad. Life abroad is a<br />leveller! It is amazing how the seemingly very important people here at home become just ordinary people abroad. It is a good thing and I wish it could be the reality here at home. However, there is yet another mystery I find not very interesting about Nigerians abroad…<br /><br />It was some few minutes after 7 o’clock in the morning. I sat there<br />alone trying to pass time in the Aberdeen International Airport,<br />Dyce,separated from the freezing unfriendly outside by just the glass automatic exit door. That was my first time in the UK and it was a very different experience from my previous travels outside Nigeria for the major reason that I was altogether on my own. I had no one to welcome me, no one to pick me up, no particular place to go as I lost my reserved accommodation like some weeks before my arrival simply because I had issues with my passport that led to the delay of my travel,and since the accommodation could not wait,it had to go. I could not also make calls as I did not have much call credit on my phone and I hadn’t gotten a UK sim card yet. Worst of all, I had just about 120pounds cash on me since my cash card was to be loaded in a<br />few days; meaning I had to be very careful with spending at least for the first one or two days.<br /><br />I know some would be asking“How could you be so unprepared for a<br />journey like that?" Well,that was poor planning I know,but I shall save the details for another time.<br />So,I sat there at the low traffic airport thinking of what steps to<br />take next. OK, I could actually make some contacts! I brought out my notebook,connected to the airport’s free Wi-Fi and got online without delay. I quickly sent an email to my contact in Aberdeen and sent Facebook messages to some relevant people in Nigeria because I needed some real time responses,which I fortunately got; bless God for technology!<br /><br />I was to head for the city centre, Union Street precisely. The airport<br />door opened on its own accord as I progressed towards it. I stepped<br />out only to be greeted by a gust of cold,chilled drift like an unexpected blow intended for a knock-out on my face. But for that, I was a little bit prepared. I knew I was going to the UK at the<br />beginning of winter and I had an idea of what to expect;at least my<br />trip to Germany had taught me a little lesson about winter in Europe.I got on the bus to the city centre. “I need to get to Union Street”,I told the bus driver. “Two pounds eighty” he responded. I paid and took my seat. Not knowing exactly where to alight on Union Street. Luckily for me, I caught a glimpse of the city’s information centre on Union Street when the bus got there, so I had to get off the bus at the next stop and had to walk some steps back to the information centre hoping to get some basic information.<br /><br />I wasn’t disappointed much; at least I knew where I could buy sim card and also where I could get more information on getting accommodation. But was I really expecting to get accommodation that same day? I really didn’t know what was going on in my head; all I just knew was that somehow, something would happen. At last,I got a UK sim card and started making calls. I called loads of people, Nigerians in Aberdeen<br />that I was told to call and even those I have been in contact with<br />before my arrival in Aberdeen. I got all sorts of responses but after making the calls,I began to painfully realize, as reality started to dawn on me,that I was on my own.<br /><br />“Didn’t these people understand that I am new around here? Did they ever understand that I need help? Did they even care a bit that I haven’t had even a good meal since like two days ago?” Well, probably I was expecting too much from Nigerians living in the UK or probably it was a not-too-good day for all the people I called. I was actually expecting this kind of African warmness; you know, people rallying around you,at least as a first timer,to make you feel comfortable or to help you settle down or get what you want, even if it was for the first day or at least offer some exciting or enthusiastic words. But I didn’t even get any of that. Everybody seemed distant. The best I got was an aloof response like,“look around for a B&B. it should cost like 35 to<br />50pounds per night and there is one on…” Geez, 35-50 pounds per night! How on earth would I afford that? Now I had like 100pounds!<br /><br />It was like 2pm. I still haven’t got a clue on what exactly I’m to do.<br />Tired, sleepy, thirsty, hungry, pressed, depressed and disappointed, I was getting a little apprehensive, dragging my travel bag (thank God I travelled light) behind me just going in circles. Then I spotted a KFC outlet. I pulled myself and my bag in, settled first at a table then<br />requested to use the toilet. After that I ordered for two pieces of<br />juicy roasted chicken and one portion of fries. I was really revived<br />afterwards. At about 2.30pm, still haven’t got my bearing yet, I put a<br />call through to a colleague in Nigeria. It was at that point that my fortune changed. He advised that since I was in the UK for a research in a higher institution, I could use the school’s guest house.<br /><br />So I picked up my luggage again and headed for the school. With a<br />little introduction of myself to the white lady at the desk in RGU and<br />showing the relevant documents to prove my claims, in no time, she gave me my staff identity card,called the guest house to know if there was a spare room (fortunately, there was) and directed me to the Woolmanhill Flats. With the help of a South American, I located the place and I was giving a room for like 30pounds per night. Although I<br />told them I would be staying there for 5 nights, I hadn’t enough money to pay as I was supposed to make all the payment before moving in. However, I paid part of the money and promised I would balance up before the end of the five days and they obliged me.<br />Getting into the room that day was a big relief for me<br /><br />For me Aberdeen is just unreasonably expensive to live in. They say it is the oil capital of Europe and that is why the cost of living is relatively high, but for me this is not a good enough justification. Most expensive aspect of living in Aberdeen is accommodation-the accommodation is not even readily available.<br /><br />For close to two weeks,I was living in a youth hostel – after I'd spent like 1 week in a B&B – and it was not really pocket friendly for<br />me – imagine, hostel cost like 30pounds per night! This is like N9k every night; wow! 9k for just a bed in like a 6-man room! Na wa o!<br /><br />Anyways, I became very desperate to get an accommodation. Many turn downs, many unsuccessful searches, but I kept on searching. At last, I got a place; sorry,I got two actually and both were from Nigerians. One for the first two months – as the room was only available for two months – and the other for the remaining months(my research work was to last for 5 months). I wish I hadn’t done this really,but because of my experience with securing accommodation and also the fear of going through another accommodation ordeal, I had to.<br /><br />More to this, my second landlord exploited my ignorance and naivety especially because he knew I was new in town. He fuelled my fear of not getting another accommodation should I lose his offer. He tried to make me feel that he was only doing me a favour. I on the other hand was forced to trust him based on my unpalatable experience with<br />accommodation. Anyways, he caught me in the web of his trick. He ensured I paid at least a month’s rent with another one month’s rent as deposit immediately. By this, I was stuck.<br />After some months in Aberdeen, when I have become much acquainted with and better understood the system, I discovered I had only been played.<br />I could actually get something better for much cheaper. But it was too late. I couldn’t ask for my money back because he was not even in town. I really felt bad. Also, when I finally moved into the<br />apartment, I discovered there were some very important facilities he<br />promised which were lacking and because he was not there,I just had to live with it that way. No internet facility,I could not bring a friend home and some other funny stern rules…in a shared apartment that cost me 430pounds a month!<br /><br />Eventually, when I was to leave the apartment, paying back my deposit started becoming an issue. Anyways, I got my deposit back but it was less than the actual sum without reasons and since he was not in town,there was no one to hold.<br /><br />This whole experience created in me an impression about Nigerians in<br />diaspora. I had always believed Nigerians are hospitable, warm, and<br />helpful, especially to their kit and kin or brother in foreign lands.<br />Sadly, I was wrong and really disappointed! Most Nigerians in diaspora are not ready to help you and even most of those who pretend they want to help actually are looking for ways to exploit you. Most of them<br />make it look like they are doing you a favour when actually they are<br />after how to exploit you.<br /><br />This impression was confirmed on my several encounters with Nigerians<br />in Aberdeen,for example in getting accommodation and also in getting a<br />complementary job. Is this our nature or is it the harsh environment of faraway lands that had conditioned or programmed Nigerians in diaspora to be like this? I saw them on the streets. I saw them in the neighbourhood. I<br />saw them at workplaces.I have tried to dig out various reasons for this attitude – maybe it is because of the unfriendly weather condition,maybe it is because of loneliness, maybe it is because most Nigerians in diaspora are actually there basically to survive hence are desperate, maybe it is because of poor self-esteem, maybe it is because of this, maybe it is because of that, or maybe it’s just who<br />we are. Whatever the reason, I think it reflects a deep fact about Nigerians.<br />I think one important lesson for me is that one should not expect much from Nigerians in diaspora - expect the worst so that you won't be diasappointed</span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;"></span></span>Ucheonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09590454719541468125noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940658297129051275.post-84585308905758053872015-03-22T16:38:00.001-07:002015-03-22T16:38:26.190-07:00Why Married People Dont Wear Their Wedding Rings These Days<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Got Talent” host Nick Cannon has moved on from estranged wife Mariah Carey with
model Jessica White.<br />
<br />
Cannon was spotted with White, a face of Maybelline who has appeared in Sports Illustrated’s
Swimsuit Issue, at a supermarket near his New Jersey home on Saturday after
which they spent the rest of the weekend at Nick's house.<br />
<br />
White — who’s previously dated Sean Penn, Terrell Owens and music producer
Dallas Austin — has been seeing Cannon for a few months<br />
<br />
Cannon was spotted out last month with Nicole Murphy but it might have been
nothing more than a fling. He has been hosting parties at clubs, and is
managing voluptuous model Amber Rose</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Stupid
is a word that has a broad range of applications, but it generally means a
person lacks rudimentary intelligence or the ability to reason. It can also
imply a congenital lack of capacity for reasoning, or a permanent state of daze
or slow-mindedness. However one defines or applies the word stupid, you can
hardly think of the word without directly relating it to the utterances of some
Buhari’s supporters; especially the supposedly literate ones. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10pt;">Over
the past week, it became apparent that the level of stupidity inherent in those
inclined to support certain politicians at all cost is beyond comprehension. In
fact, it is frightening that so many Nigerians of voting age lack the
fundamental reasoning ability <br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7940658297129051275" name="more"></a>of a second-grader and are even less-informed about basic
facts than a kindergarten. I have heard some of the most bizarre ideas peddled
by some Buhari’s supporters and I am really concerned about the future of this
country. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10pt;">I
have heard troubling statements like: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“It
really doesn’t matter if Buhari is qualified or not, he must be the next
president and we’ll vote for him. Even if he presents a NEPA bill as
certificate, we don’t care, we will vote for him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Are
these people for real? To base your position on whatever absurdity your
favourite candidate espouses; regardless of reality is the reason why we are in
this hell of a nation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10pt;">These
are exactly the type of supporters Nigerian politicians bank on to win
elections. These goons should know that in a democratic system, we live by the
constitution and the Nigerian constitution in section 131 (d) gives a specific
order for all presidential candidates to show proof of education up to a
minimum standard not below school certificate or its equivalent. If Buhari
doesn’t have the required qualification, he should be disqualified immediately
or if it is proven that his certificate or result was doctored or forged, he
should be arrested and charged to court for deception. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10pt;">Atahiru
Jega and his INEC got us into this embarrassing position. How can someone refer
INEC to the Secretary of the Military Board for his credentials when it is
stated clearly that every contestant should attach copies of their
qualification to their forms? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">INEC
is a joke. If elections are conducted like job interviews, can the applicant
direct his would-be employers to his previous work place for his credentials?
Won’t the applicant be chased off the premises with a stick or security dogs?
How do we bring about the clamoured “change” in the nation when we can’t treat
the nation’s business as ours? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10pt;">Nobody
is saying you shouldn’t support Buhari or any candidate of your choice but it
shouldn’t be based on sentiments of any kind. The other day, a radio presenter
was screaming like a banshee on radio of how Buhari is a man of great ideas,
you shouldn’t be the one telling us what Buhari’s ideas are. As a radio
presenter, it is against NBC regulations for any presenter to influence
listeners’ votes. Buhari should sell himself convincingly enough to earn their
votes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10pt;">Aren’t
we tired of having leaders who can’t sell their ideas themselves? That’s why
they haven’t approached the subject of how they are going to revive the economy
in any of their campaign speeches? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Let’s
not be stupefied into supporting any candidate. We are screaming for a corrupt
free nation, yet we are refusing to see that electing someone without the
required qualification is as good as endorsing corruption. No one would want to
admit that half of this country’s population is inherently stupid, much less
ignorant, but at the rate politicians garner votes based on sheer fantasy and
lies, there is no other conclusion that makes any sense whatsoever. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10pt;">One
thing is certain; if Nigerian voters were not so stupid, they would not
knowingly go against what is right, whether for their personal, ethnic or
religious interest. Our politicians know that without stupid people, most of
them would be extinct as viable political forces. But they are far from going
extinct and it is all down to the level of stupidity permeating this sad
ignorant nation.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Despite
having an understanding of the risks involved in dating married men, a recent
finding has shown that many young Nigerian ladies still think it is far better
than giving themselves to single men especially when the latter are not yet
ready for marriage.<br />
<br />
A study by P.M.NEWS revealed that most Nigerian ladies have, at one point or
another, dated married men. Some have continued to even maintain double
relationships where they date a married man and keep their relationships with
younger male -bachelors.<br />
<br />
Many of the ladies who spoke with their correspondent concerning the issue,
said they feel more comfortable dating married men than bachelors. While some
disclosed that they are dating married men because of money, some said they
engage in such relationships because of the maturity and <br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7940658297129051275" name="more"></a>experience of the men who already have wives at home.<br />
<br />
However, apart from these two reasons, P.M.NEWS spoke with two ladies who said
they were dating married men as revenge against their boyfriends. Many of the
ladies confessed that they had to stick with married men because they have not
found a man ready to marry them.<br />
<br />
Toyin Adedamola, a 36-year-old resident of Oshodi area of Lagos, said dating a married man “is not a
big deal.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“I
am old enough to marry, but where I don’t find the right man ready to put me in
his house as his wife, should I just remain like a prisoner? As I am now,
I don’t mind being a second wife as long as I am comfortable and respected like
a wife by the man,” she said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Another
respondent, who simply gave her name as Jumoke, confirmed that she was dating a
married man but added that she was not ready to be a second wife.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“I
am dating one married man and we have been together for two years now. He is
ready to marry me, but I am not ready to be a second wife. Experience has
taught me that being a second wife would make you fight for your life till
death. So I told him I can’t be a second wife. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I
am only with him till I find the right person to marry me,” she said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">A
married woman, who refused to mention her name for safety reasons, said that it
is sometimes good to date a married man for experience.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“I
dated a married man here in Ogun
State before I got
married. I finally bade him bye two days to my wedding. I had a good time
with him all through the period we dated. I decided to date him so that I would
know how best to handle my husband. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I
felt it would also help me to monitor my husband’s activities and keep him from
women. The man was actually encouraged to date a woman outside because his wife
made his home hell for him,” the pregnant 29-year-old woman explained.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">For
Maureen, she dates a married man apart from two regular boyfriends. While the
married man pays most of her bills, she keeps the two boyfriends pending when
any of them would decide on marriage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“I
am getting to 30 years old and that is not funny. That’s why I have the two
guys. But for the married man, we both know we don’t have a future together,
but he pays my bills and assists in other areas. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I
have been managing them. The married man knows I have another person, but the
two bachelors don’t know each other or whether I have a married man,” she said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">For
Eyitayo, dating a married man comes with risks, but she believes that in life,
everything possess their own risks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“There
was this man I dated last year and his wife sent people after me. I was beaten
mercilessly and had to spend three weeks in the hospital,” the 29-year-old
petty trader said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">She
admitted that she learnt her lesson since the mistake came from her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“At
a time, I couldn’t do anything without thinking of him. Moreover, he was the
one who rescued me and made me self-dependent. I always called and chatted
with him even though I knew it was risky. That was how his wife knew and came
after me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Though
I have left the man, I am in another relationship but this time, the man’s wife
is not in Lagos.
The man lives alone and works here,” she said</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic
Party in Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has said that if elected as the state
governor in the next month election, he will donate his salary to the Teachers’
Pension Scheme in the state.During a town hall meeting with teachers from
Saki-West, Saki-East, Atisbo, Oorelope and Irepo council areas of the state,
Makinde said his decision was arrived at after considering the plight of
retired teachers.He said, “I am fully aware of the plight of teachers, because
my father was a retired school teacher. The pension scheme is the final hope of
our teachers. It must, therefore, be important in our heart. I have decided to
donate all my salary to the pension purse, if I am elected as governor of this
state. Nothing is too small to offer our teachers because without them, we
cannot stand where we are today.”Makinde also promised to pay retiring teachers
as soon as they disengaged from service. Some of the teachers who responded
thanked the billionaire businessman, while also expressing their fears over the
future of the teaching profession.“We are happy with Mr. Makinde’s
consideration for teachers. He has identified with our plight.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7940658297129051275" name="more"></a>
Each day, I nurse the fear that one day, the teaching profession could go into
extinction. This is because teachers have not had it good as other categories
of workers. We train people to reach the height but we are often looked down
on. That is why the youths no longer consider teaching as first option,” said
the leader of the group, Isiaka Ibrahim.After the meeting with the teachers,
the SDP governorship candidate also met the Okere-in-council, leaders of
various communities in Oke-Ogun area of the state, members of the Supreme
Council for Islamic Affairs and members of the Christian Association of Nigeria
in Saki.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Article
written by Pres Jonathan's new media aide, Reno Omokri</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">On
Tuesday the 27<sup>th</sup> of January, in Lafia, Nasarawa state, President
Jonathan said “we are building a country for a digital generation”. Let
us ponder on that for a second. That statement rings true, as I cannot imagine
any truly patriotic Nigerian that will want Nigeria to remain in an analogue
state. That being said, what place does a broom have in a digital society? You
will agree with me that brooms are more suited for an analogue society.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Let
me expatiate. One vacuum cleaner can do the work of one hundred brooms and can
do it faster and more efficiently too. The APC and Muhammadu Buhari are
representative of brooms. This is why Muhammadu Buhari keeps saying he will
throw corrupt Nigerians into jail. Now, as a means of fighting corruption,
there is nothing wrong with throwing corrupt persons into jail, particularly if
you follow due process. But will that tactic work in Nigeria today? Yes, to an extent it
will work, just as a broom will work to an extent in sweeping a dirty house.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">But
supposing you try a new and better way? Supposing that instead of just
concentrating your efforts at sweeping people one by one into prison, you use a
vacuum cleaner to clean the house at a faster pace by employing technology that
makes it difficult, nay impossible, to steal?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Prior
to the Goodluck Jonathan administration, there were fifty thousand ghost
workers in the Federal Civil Service. They drained the treasure of about 2
billion US dollars annually. President Jonathan could have used the broom on
them by unleashing the police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, to investigate who and who were collecting these fifty thousand unearned
salaries. It would have taken many hours of investigation, evidence gathering,
judicial process and lawyers to achieve that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Being
the philosopher king that he is, President Jonathan chose instead to employ
technology to tackle the problem and using the software of the </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System, IPPIS, this
administration made it impossible for anybody who has not been physically
captured in the IPPIS system, by way of entering his/her finger prints and
biometrics, to receive a salary. And voila! in one fell swoop, all the fifty
thousand ghost workers were excluded and the Federal Government was able to
save billions every year that would have gone on salaries.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Also, it was common practice for civil servants to mop up
unspent votes at the end of the year. The only problem is that they mopped up
these funds into their private accounts rather than back to the government

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">But instead of going about with a big stick to bash in
the head of offenders, the President simply approved a system that mandated
that all payments be made by e-payments rather than cash and any e-payment that
does not come under the sub head of salaries will shut down the system at the
end of the year so that civil servants could not mop up funds as they were used
to. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Take another instance. Prior to the rise of President
Goodluck Jonathan to power, the fertilizer procurement and distribution system
of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture was one of the biggest avenues for
corruption. Contracts were awarded at hundreds of billions for products that
either did not come or were substandard. Moreover, in the process of distributing
the product, a lot of it was diverted and resold with the government not
getting value for money and farmers not being able to feed the nation.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Enter the Jonathan administration and the e-wallet system
of fertilizer distribution, in which the Federal Ministry no longer used middle
men contractors, but dealt directly with the manufacturers and the end users of
the product, the farmers, and used a simple text message to connect end user
with manufacturer. The manufacturers simply debited the cost of the subsidized
fertilizer from the e-wallet funds the farmer had on his phone, saving tens of
billions and increasing efficiency.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">These examples show that with a broom, you will work
harder, but with a vacuum cleaner which President Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP represent, you will work smarter!</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">With a broom, you will deliver activity, but with a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">It is this broom mentality that caused Major General
Buhari to answer to the question “</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">how do you intend to manage the economy in the face
of dwindling oil price”</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">asked during his Channels TV interview as
follows “</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">first
we will stabilize the oil market and run an accountable government”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Do
you control the price of oil? </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">How do you want to stabilize
the oil market if you do not control the price of the product and the global
supply of the same? This is analogue thinking! This is broom mentality! That is
the mentality that says that you will concentrate on curing corruption instead
of focusing on preventing it when even a nursery school pupil knows that
‘prevention is better than cure’!</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">And that is the choice before Nigerians. Are we going to
go with a broom or with a vacuum cleaner? Are we going to go with an analogue
leader or continue with a digital leader?</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">To make the choice easier for you, let me ask those who
are able to remember how many schools were built by General Muhammadu Buhari
when he was military head of state. The answer is of course none! But you might
say that he only spent twenty months in office. But what if I told you that in
his first twenty months in office President Goodluck Jonathan built nine new
Federal Universities in Ebonyi, Kogi, Nasarawa, Bayelsa, Gombe, Taraba,
Katsina, Jigawa and Ekiti?</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Let me ask you also to
remember how many Youth Empowerment Programme the Buhari led government put in
place to spur youth employment. The answer is of course none! But five months
after he was sworn in as Nigeria’s President, President Jonathan launched the
Youth With Innovation in Nigeria Initiative which is a unique business
competition where Nigerian youths submit their business ideas to a consultancy
chosen by government who then selects the best proposals and then the
government trains them in modern business skills and grants them between 2-10
million Naira. Remember that this is a grant, not a loan. They do not have to
pay back. Over four thousand youths have gone on to be selected and trained and
have started up businesses that are employing other youths.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">So once again, I ask are we going to go with a broom or

with a digital leader?</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Nothing
exemplifies the fact that the world has passed the APC and its flag bearer by
than the use of a broom as their party’s emblem. Yes, it is a fitting analogy
for the All Progressive Congress, APC and its Presidential Flag Bearer, Major
General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd), but facts will bear me out that a broom cannot
do the work of leadership that is expected in Nigeria today.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Coordinating
Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has
responded to former CBN governor Charles Soludo's article titled Buhari Vs
Jonathan: Beyond the election, where he criticized the presidential economic
team (read <a href="http://lindaikeji.blogspot.com/2015/01/read-article-by-former-cbn-governor.html" target="_blank">here</a>). NOI's response below...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">1.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>For
anyone who has not read Professor Charles Soludo’s article on January 25 2015,
I would encourage them to do so. It is littered with abusive and unbecoming
language. It shows how an embittered loser in the Nigerian political space can
get so derailed that they commit intellectual <i>harakiri</i> by deliberately
misquoting economic facts and maliciously turning statistics on their head to
justify a hatchet job. We hope all the intellectuals in the international
circles in which Professor Soludo has told us he flies around in will read what
a Professor of Economics has chosen to do with his intellect.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">2.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>In
this one article Soludo has shamelessly pandered to so many past leaders that
Nigerians are asking one more time – what position is Soludo gunning for now?
He claims in his article that he has had his own share of public service, yet
he has failed twice in his attempts to be Governor of Anambra State and Vice
Presidential candidate of various parties. There is definitely an issue of
character with Prof. Charles Soludo and his desperate search for power and
relevance in Nigeria.
Nigerians should therefore beware of so-called intellectuals without character
and wisdom because this combination is fatal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">3.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>But
let us turn to the main subject of Soludo’s discourse. So much of what is
written is outright nonsense and self-seeking aggrandizement that need not be
dignified with a response. It is totally remarkable that Professor Charles
Chukwuma Soludo, the man who presided over the worst mismanagement of Nigeria’s banking sector as Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria
between May 2004 and May 2009, can write about the mismanagement of the
economy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">4.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>Nigerians
must be reminded of his antecedents as CBN Governor, and even prior to that, as
the Chief Economic Adviser to the President. The consolidation of the banking
sector was a good policy idea of the Obasanjo Administration but Soludo went on
to thoroughly mismanage its implementation leading to the worst financial
crisis in Nigeria’s
history. So what did Soludo do?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">5.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>After
consolidation, the regulatory functions of the Soludo-led CBN were very poorly
exercised. As Governor, he failed to adequately supervise and regulate the now
larger banks – an anomaly in Financial Sector Supervision. In fact as every
Nigerian knows, in his time there was very little separation between the regulators
and the regulated which is a violation of a key requirement of Central Banking
success. This led to infractions in corporate governance in many banks as loans
and other credit instruments running to hundreds of billions of naira were
extended to clients without following due process, and several of these loans
could not be paid back. This massive accumulation of bad debts or
non-performing loans as they are called in the banking sector meant that our
banks were ill-positioned to deal with the global financial crisis when it hit.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">6.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>In
fact, the banking sector was brought to its knees and required a massive
bailout by Nigerian tax payers. This bailout was done by his successor (now
Emir of Kano) who cleaned up all the bad debts and transferred them to the
newly-established AMCON, from where they are managed today. So let it be noted
for the record books that Soludo’s single-handed mismanagement of the banking
sector led to an incredible accumulation of liabilities that will cost tax
payers about N5.67 trillion (being the total face value of AMCON-issued bonds)
to clean up. Let it be noted also that this amount, which is more than the
entire Federal Government 2015 Budget, constitutes the bulk of Nigeria’s “<i>contingent
liabilities</i>” mentioned in Soludo’s article. It is only in Nigeria where
someone who perpetrated such a colossal economic atrocity would have the
temerity to make assertions on public debt and the management of the economy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">7.<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span>Let us now look at some of the points he makes. Luckily, Soludo has told
us that he has been busy travelling internationally, hobnobbing with his global
partners. It is obvious from this article that from the rarefied heights at
which he is flying he is completely out of touch with what is happening with
the management of this economy. Take his comments on the mismanagement of the
economy and the imposition of the austerity measures. The present fall in oil
prices, a global phenomenon over which Nigeria has no control, has given every
charlatan the opportunity to attack the economy, and by extension the managers
of the economy</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">8.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>It is
true that the economy grew well during the second-term of former President
Obasanjo as a result of the reforms supported by the President and implemented
by the Economic Management Team. Please note that the Finance Minister under
whose leadership that good performance took place, including massive
unprecedented debt relief, is still Finance Minister today. But thorough
examination of the facts on performance under the Jonathan Administration will
also reveal that at a time when global economic performance was mediocre, with
GDP growth averaging about 3 percent per annum, Nigeria’s GDP growth –
averaging about 6 percent per annum – is indeed remarkable. Even more
interesting is the fact that the oil sector did not drive this economic
performance but the non-oil sector (Agriculture, Manufacturing,
Telecommunications, the Creative Economy, and so on), which shows that the
current Administration’s diversification objective under the <i>Transformation
Agenda</i> is working. Transformation equals diversification</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">9.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>This
current government managed to control inflation, which he Soludo, was not able
to do during his time at the helm of monetary policy in Nigeria. When he left
the Central Bank in 2009, inflation – which hurts the poor and vulnerable in
the society the most – was above 13 percent per annum. Now, inflation is
at single-digit, at 8 percent per annum. What about exchange rates? Well this
administration again managed to stabilize the naira exchange rates, such that
between May 2011 and the end of 2014, official exchange rates against the
dollar rarely moved out of the N153 to N156 band. It is only with the recent
dramatic fall in oil prices and the consequent impact on our foreign reserves
that the exchange rate has become quite volatile. The drop in oil price has
been heavy and rapid impacting all oil producing nations significantly. Nigeria
is no exception and appropriate fiscal and monetary policy measures are being
put in place to manage this situation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">10.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>In
fact, history will recall that careless remarks by Prof. Soludo (then Chief
Economic Adviser to the President) hypothesizing a possible naira devaluation,
condemned the naira to a free fall towards the end of 2003. Ray Echebiri, in
his 2004 article in the Financial Standard, wrote that not even the assurances
given by the then CBN Governor, Mr. Joseph Sanusi or President Obasanjo that
any plans to devalue the naira existed only in the head of Professor Soludo
could halt the fall of the naira from N128 to the dollar in the official market
to about N140 between September and December 2003.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">11.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>It is
true that our foreign reserve accumulation is less than what it should be but
the reason for this has been fully given, not as excuses but simply as fact:
lower oil production and crude oil theft along with the refusal to save in the
Excess Crude Account (ECA) are the reasons. Contrary to what Soludo said, oil
production under President Obasanjo was higher than current levels. Quantities
produced averaged 2.4 million bdp, 2.22 million bpd, and 2.21 million bpd in
2005, 2006, and 2007 respectively but has declined now to between 1.95 and 2.21
million bdp due to vandalism of the pipelines and the resulting “shut-ins” to
fix the problem. It is true that had production been at the previous levels and
had there been willingness to save we would have had more money in the ECA and
also in the reserves. But the overriding setback to savings is that the State
Governors felt it was their constitutional right to share the money. Please
recall that even as we speak the States have taken the Federal Government to
the Supreme Court on this issue</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">12.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>Soludo’s
claim that 71 percent of Nigerians live below the poverty line is misleading
and disingenuous. He uses 2011 statistics on poverty by the NBS to support his
argument while ignoring more recent figures. But as stated in the Nigeria
Economic Report 2014 by the World Bank, poverty rate in Nigeria has dropped
from 35.2 percent of population in 2010/2011 to 33.1 percent in 2012/2013. By
the way, the reason why our poverty numbers have been so wrong is that the
National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), under Soludo’s supervision as CEA and
Vice-Chair of the National Planning Commission, departed from the international
standard method of poverty measurement. Is he now ignoring the right economic
statistics to wilfully manipulate information?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">13.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>No
doubt we have a problem with unemployment in this country and we must deal with
it. Indeed this Administration is dealing with it and stands proud of what it
has accomplished so far and is pushing hard to accomplish much more. As a first
step, the Administration, through the office of the Chief Economic Adviser to
the President and the NBS, worked hard to determine how many jobs we need to
create in a year. What you don’t measure you cannot make progress on. Why
didn’t Soludo do this when he was CEA?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">14.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>We
need to create about 1.8 million jobs a year in this country to cater for the
new entrants into the labour market, but we also need to deal with the backlog
of the unemployed and the underemployed, e.g. those selling on the streets.
Dealing with this global challenge of unemployment is not an easy task for any
country, as can be seen from the experiences of developed countries
particularly in the euro area. But the Jonathan Administration is making good
progress, creating an average of about 1.4 million jobs per year by driving
quality growth in key sectors like Agriculture, where the bulk of new jobs are being
created, Housing, Manufacturing, Financial Services, and the Creative
Industries like Nollywood.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
15.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;">In addition we have
special programs to promote job creation among the youth and these include:</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">16.<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span> On the issue of debt, Nigerians deserve to know the truth and we
have said it before. The truth is that the government borrowed in 2010 to pay
an unprecedented 53.7 percent wage increase to all categories of federal
employees as demanded by labour unions. The total wage bill rose from
N857 billion in 2009 to about N1.4 trillion in 2010, and as a result, domestic
borrowing increased from N200 billion in 2007 to about N1.1 trillion in 2010 to
meet the wage payments. Where was Soludo at the time? Why did he not react to
the borrowing then? Was it because he wanted to pander to labour in preparation
for his political career?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">17.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>It
is noteworthy that since 2011, the Administration of President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan has been prudent with the issue of debt and borrowing. The Economic
Management Team not only looks at debt to GDP ratio, where Nigeria has one of
the lowest numbers in the world at 12.51 percent but it looks at debt service
to revenues. That is why in spite of the rebasing and a larger GDP, the
administration has taken a prudent approach to borrowing. The prudent approach
helped to drive down domestic borrowing from N1.1 trillion in 2010 to N642
billion in 2014. In fact for the first time in our nation’s borrowing history
we even managed to retire N75 billion of domestic bonds outright in 2013. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">18.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>Despite
the present tough situation, we do not plan to go on a borrowing spree but to
keep borrowing modest at a level sufficient to help us weather the present situation.
We have already ramped up efforts to generate more non-oil revenues for the
government while cutting costs of governance. Therefore, Soludo’s claim that
this Administration is reckless with debt does not hold true. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">19.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>Since
Soludo seems so ignorant to what has been achieved by the Jonathan
Administration, let us present just a few examples of them here again. This
information is easily verified.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 105%;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">We are improving infrastructure</span> across
the country. For example, 22 airport terminals are being refurbished, and five
new international airport terminals under construction in Lagos, Port Harcourt,
Kano, Abuja, and Enugu. Soludo’s kinsmen in the South East now have an
international airport in Enugu, and for the first time in Nigeria’s history can
fly direct from Enugu to anywhere in world for which they are very grateful to
this Administration. But with Soludo being up in the air with his international
travels, he has not touched ground in the Southeast to observe this development
for himself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 105%;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>Various
road and bridge projects have either been completed or are under construction.
Those completed include the Enugu – Abaliki road in Enugu/Ebonyi States, the
Oturkpo – Oweto road in Benue State, the Benin – Ore – Shagamu highway, and the
Abuja – Abaji – Lokoja dualization, and the Kano – Maiduguri dualization. The
Lagos – Ibadan expressway and the Second Niger Bridge are under construction.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 105%;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span> Rail
from Lagos to Kano is now functional, as is parts of the rail link between Port
Harcourt and Maiduguri. All these have brought transport costs down. We
recognise that more needs to be done in the power sector, but bold steps (like
the privatisation of the GENCOs and DISCOs) have been taken, and our gas
infrastructure is being developed to power electricity generation </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 105%;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>In
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Agriculture</span>, over 6 million
farmers now have access to inputs like fertilizers and seeds through an
e-wallet system, which is more than the 403,222 that had access in 2011. Rice
paddy production took off for the first time in our history, adding about 7
million MT to rice supply. An additional 1.3 million MT of Cassava has also
been produced and as a result, the rate of food price increase has slowed
considerably, according to the NBS. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 105%;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>In
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Housing</span>, we have put in place a
new wholesale mortgage provider – the Nigerian Mortgage Refinance Corporation
(NMRC) – to provide affordable mortgages to ordinary Nigerians, starting with
those in the low-middle income bracket. This sector will help the economy grow
as we tap it as an economic driver for the first time. Mortgage applications
from 66,000 people are currently being processed and 23,000 have already
received mortgage offers</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 105%;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>Our
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Manufacturing </span>sector is reviving
with new automobile plants by Nissan, Toyota, etc. This is in addition to the
backward integration policy in key sectors like petrochemical, sugar, textiles,
agro processing and cement, which Nigeria is now producing 39,000 MT and
exporting to the region.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 105%;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>The
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Creative sector</span> is now a factor
in our GDP, with Nollywood alone accounting for 1.4 percent, creating over
200,000 direct jobs and nearly 1 million indirect jobs. This is the first
Administration to recognise its importance and support its further development
with a grant program.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 105%;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>A
new bank <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">– the Development Bank of
Nigeria</span> – will soon be operational and this bank will help bridge the
access to finance gap, which is a major constraint for the private sector
especially SMEs. The bank will provide long-term (5 – 10 years) financing at
affordable rates for the first time in our nation’s history.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">20.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>This
is the path that the government has been on before this fall in oil prices. The
response to the economic shock has been spelled out to the Nigerian public over
and over again, and the Administration intends to focus on managing this crisis
appropriately. This year will be difficult. To say anything less to Nigerians
will be untruthful. It would have been better if there had been a bigger
cushion of the Excess Crude Account to manage this situation but despite this
the nation can rise to the challenge. More importantly, President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan and the Economic Management Team are seeing this as an
opportunity to diversify the revenue sources of an already diversifying
economy. In fact let me at this juncture use this opportunity to comment on
Soludo’s appalling statement that rebasing brings no policy value. Rebasing has
enabled us to better grasp the new diversified nature of our economy. This
provides the basis for our present drive to support different sectors with
appropriate policy instruments to enhance their development. Rebasing has also
enabled the Administration to create the platform from which to drive our work
on increasing non-oil revenues. These are areas of critical policy value.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">21.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>Soludo
mentioned the issue of the Economic Partnership Agreement with the EU, noting
that this Administration has not been vocal or clear on its direction with this
agreement. On the contrary, the Administration, particularly the Ministry of
Industry, Trade, and Investment, has been clear on this issue but since Soludo
has been in the air he probably has not been aware of this. Just recently, the
Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment reiterated again to the corporate
sector that Nigeria has not signed and does not propose to sign the EPA in its
present form. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">22.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>The
point is that this government has been pursuing the right economic policies,
and its efforts have been acknowledged nationally and internationally. Let me
say that there are objective ways to measure performance. There are
international institutions globally accepted to do this. They have acknowledged
this Administration’s good economic management up to the recent crisis and even
now. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
23.<span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span>We cannot go by someone’s
subjective view, driven by bitterness and bile. We need to look to the truth
and to professionalism. This is where Professor Soludo totally fails. For the
other gratuitous, political, and personal attacks, we are sure that those mentioned
will respond appropriately. It is a sad day for Nigeria and the economics
profession that someone like Soludo, a former CBN governor should write such an
article. If Soludo wants to regain respect, he should return to the path of
professionalism. He certainly needs something to improve his image from that of
someone whose sojourn into National Economic Management ended in disaster for
the banking sector, his sojourn in politics, ended in overwhelming rejection by
the electorate, and more recently, his sojourn abroad, has put him out of touch
with the reality of the Nigerian economy.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
