I (7)
what if my girl was called aharit instead of arit
My girl has always been my closest friend but not one day has she ever told me her
real name . She said her name is arit and many times i go Aight ? and she says Right
. Not one day has she dared to put it all together and say AHARIT !
I wondered why she would never tell me her real name . I wondered not for long as I
asked her to marry me . to which she immediately agreed . She had been waiting for
this for ages .
Now we are about to get married it is just a few days or even weeks away .
And I asked her for the last time What is your name Arit
And she said AHARIT and I looked at her and understood . AHA RIGHT !
He sold his birthright for a meal of porridge He ignored the 'Aharit' . That which
comes After . Show me Temptations and I will ask for the AHARIT .
Now we shall soon be together for ever even after the AHARIT !
Happy Valentine

‘I dey laugh’, OBJ reacts to Atiku’s
emergence •I don’t have foreign bank accounts, properties –Jonathan
FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday, laughed off the recent selection of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as the North’s consensus candidate by the Mallam Adamu Ciroma-led Northern PoliticalLeaders Forum (NPLF).
Pressed for his comments on the development by State House correspondents, after the meeting of the National Council of State, he volunteered in Pidgin English, saying “I dey laugh,” suggesting that he might not have taken the emergence of his former second in command very seriously.
He continued sarcastically, “I am full of joy and I wish you (journalists) and Nigerians the fullness of joy. I wish you peace and joy always,” to which reporters echoed “Amen.”
Also reacting, Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State told reporters that the North would soon speak on the selection of Atiku by the Ciroma-led committee...
Below is an excerpt from his brief exchange with reporters.
What’s your view on Atiku?
He is a presidential aspirant.
But, he is standing in for the North.
You have to ask the north
But you are a key member of the North.
Yes, I am, but you have to ask the North, because I am not the only person in the North.
What’s your personal view?
My view, the North will talk.
Meanwhile, President Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday, took his detractors to task and challenged them on their level of commitment to the country, as the race towards the 2011 presidential election hots up.
In the bid to raise the bar on his campaigns and garner more support ahead of the primaries, President Jonathan, in a comment on his Facebook account, declared that he did not have bank accounts or properties abroad, while all his children live and school in the country.
While challenging those who accused him to say so, Jonathan said “I was loyal to my leader, the late great President Umaru Yar’Adua. I am loyal to Nigeria, I don’t claim to represent the North, the South or a committee - I represent Nigeria. I am loyal to Nigeria’s economy, I don’t have accounts or property abroad, All my children live and school in Nigeria. I am loyal to my wife and friends. Can those who accuse me say the same?”
The president had, in a previous comment, maintained that the only difference that needed to be made in the country was between good and bad, not North and South.
He challenged what he described as virulent attacks on his person by unnamed persons, whom he accused of calling him a disloyal person, saying that “I would only urge you to objectively look at my past and the past of those making these allegations and let your conscience guide you. As I said, the only difference we need to make in Nigeria is between good and bad, not North and South.”
In a related development, Vice-President Namadi Sambo, on Thursday, has said he did not recognise any consensus candidate for the North.
Sambo said this when he spoke with reporters at the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, on arrival in Lagos.
“Who said there is a consensus candidate for the North? Who says so, because we are not aware of any northern consensus candidate. The North has no consensus candidate for this election for PDP,” he said.
The vice-president added that “we have our constitution as a party on how we select our candidate for different positions for election and just two days ago, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) presented the timetable, which I can assure you the PDP will follow, with the constitutional processes for the election of our candidate.”
Sambo further added that the country would see the much-desired transformation and development under the administration.
“I can assure you that Jonathan/Sambo ticket is the ticket for this country to be transformed for future development, to see that Nigeria becomes one of the most developed countries in the world,” he said.
Meanwhile, the former National Security Adviser (NSA), General Aliyu Gusau, in Abuja, on Thursday, said he gave his best to emerge as the consensus candidate of the Northern Political Leaders Forum (NPLF).
The General, who addressed his coordinators from across the states in Abuja, said the campaign organisation gave its best to clinch the position, but that it had resolved to allow God to dictate the pace of its activities.
Gusau said he was accepting the verdict of the NPLF because of his earlier resolve to abide by the decision of the Adamu Ciroma-led committee.
He said that he would still stick to his belief that he was right to have joined the presidential race, as he held the belief that he was the prized candidate Nigerians were waiting for to relive the nation of its leadership inertia.
“As you and I know, however, and for reasons which surpass human understanding, the race is not always won by the swift or by the fittest. As one who really subscribes to the majesty of God’s will, I believe we must all heartily welcome the verdict of the elders and readily cooperate with the winner. This is the path of honour; this is the hallmark of decency,“ he said.
Hi Folks,
This is surely going to make you laugh, just read to the end! Just for fun; don't attach strings please.
Your mother has a child, and your father has a child. This child is not your brother and is not your sister. Who is he?"
Once upon a time, when Baba (Obasanjo) was in office as the president, he got an invitation from the Queen to come for a visit to England. After all the banquets and carriage rides and what not, Baba finally got the quiet moment he had craved all day in order to have a one on one chat with her majesty. After the usual small talk, Baba quickly popped the question. He asked her what the secret to her success was. You know Nigerians, we think everything is a secret…the President’s health status is a secret, his whereabouts is a secret, reports of the various panels of enquiry set up by govt to investigate the causes of different crises around the country are kept secret, we even have secret registries in every government agency in d country. Maybe we are a secretive people, we love secrets.
Anyway, back to our story. So Baba asked for the SECRETto the Queens’s success and she told him that she relies on her people a lot and therefore she makes certain that only the intelligent get to positions of authority.
She decided to show him exactly what she meant and so she phoned Tony Blair. "Now listen carefully, Mr. Obasanjo. I'm going to ask Mr. Blair a question to determine his intelligence.”
Queen: "Hello Mr. Blair, I have a question for you: your mother has a child, and your father has a child. This child is not your brother and is not your sister. Who is he?"
Tony Blair replied instantly, "It's ME Your Majesty!"
Queen: "Correct! Thank you and goodbye"
"You see Mr. Obasanjo?" said the Queen.
"Yes”, he replied “and thanks a lot, I'll definitely be using that!"
Once back in Nigeria, he decided that he had doubts about Mantu’s level of intelligence and he decided to test him. He arranged a meeting with him and asked him:
"Mantu, I have a question for you; your mother and father have a child. The child is not your brother and is not your sister, who is he?."
Mantu thinks...... and thinks………and thinks, and finally says, "Em, Mr. President, you must give me more time to think about it."
And Mr. Obasanjo gave him 2 weeks to come up with an answer. That afternoon, Mantu called a meeting of all his aides, advisers and assistants to discuss the question, but NOBODY knew the answer. So he decided to take it to the floor of the Senate. After a heated debate the Senate President thought it wise to clear out the gallery and go into a closed session as he believed the revelations that might result could be damaging to the family and reputation of the distinguished Senator Mantu.
After about two hours of deliberations, the house decided to set up an ad hoc committee to look into the matter and report back to it in ten days. The committee was given the following terms of reference:
1. To come up with a complete family tree of the entire Mantu clan
2. To pay a courtesy call to the traditional ruler of Mantu’s village and the State Governor
3. To interview all living relatives of Senator Mantu
4. To determine if Sen. Mantu’s dad had any extramarital affairs
5. To determine the DNA composition of Sen. Mantu (in Germany of course or Saudi)
On completion of its assignment, the committee was to submit its report to the Senate which would then pass it on to the Senate committee on special duties. This committee would then review the report of the ad hoc committee and come up with a draft “white paper” (whatever that means). This draft “white paper” would then be brought back to the Senate and on approval would be passed on to the President through Senator Mantu.
The Ad-hoc committee then submitted its budget which, of course, was kept SECRET, but included funds for;
a) The immediate purchase of Land Cruiser jeeps for each of the 12 members of the committee. The jeeps would be used to travel to Mantu’s village because, as you know, Nigerian roads are bad and Mantu’s village is remote.
b) Air tickets (first class of course) and hotel accommodation in Jos for committee members and their numerous aides. They’d stay at the Hill-station hotel and drive to Mantu’s village in the morning.
c) Air tickets (again first class) to Germany and back, and hotel accommodation (five star) for everybody.
d) Estacodes and hazard allowances
e) Logistics
f) Miscellaneous
Even though the budget was kept secret, you can easily come up with the figure by taking the actual estimate of the above list and multiply by ten. You’ll only run into problems when you get to the final two items (logistics & miscellaneous) , as these are usually added to cover for all the people that need to be “settled” in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Therefore the figures have the tendency of varying widely and so it can’t really be predicted.
Anyway, the money was released and the committee started its assignment in earnest. They finished within the time frame that was stipulated in their terms of reference and they prepared a voluminous report which was to be presented at the senate at plenary. But on the d-day when the chairman of the committee was about to make the presentation, a distinguished senator from the Southern part of the country raised a “point of order”. He argued that the committee was illegal because its composition was lopsided in favor of a certain region in the country. He pointed out that of the 12 members; seven were from the North and only five from the South. Not to be outdone, another senator, this time from the North, raised a “point of order” on the “point of order” that was raised by the senator from the South. He argued that since the committee’s assignment was primarily to investigate the lineage of Senator Mantu (who was from the North), they needed
senators who knew the terrain, who understood the culture of the people and their language.
More points of order followed and after a while the Senate President decided to put a stop to it by subjecting it to a voice vote.
And thus he announced, “All those in favor of the committee being considered legal and thus go ahead to present its report say “AYE””. And the house responded accordingly.
And then he asked again, “All those not in favor of the committee being considered legal and thus should not go ahead to present its report say “NAY””. And the house responded accordingly.
Unfortunately for Mantu, the “NAYs had it” and thus the report was never presented. Now Mantu had a really big problem, because the President was waiting for an answer and he had run out of time. So in one last effort, he decided to phone his very good friend Jerry Rawlings who had always sounded intelligent to Mantu and thus might have the answer to this really difficult question.
"Jerry, your mother and father have a child. The child is not your brother and is not your sister, who is he?."
Jerry answered immediately. "Hey, Mantu, It's me of course, you dumb Nigerian!"
Mantu couldn’t believe his luck and so he rushed to Aso Rock Villa, his motorcade of five cars moving at top speed with sirens blaring. Ordinary Nigerians going about their normal businesses scampered out of the way. When they finally arrived their destination, Mantu literarily ran all the way to the President's office.
"Mr. President, Mr. President”, he called out, breathing heavily. “I know who he is.”
Obasanjo: “Good, so tell me”
Mantu: “It’s Jerry Rawlings Sir! In fact, when he revealed the SECRET to me, I started to see the resemblance between us"
Obasanjo: "Jerry Rawlings ko, Jerry Gana ni. You are such a stupid senator. Olodo rakpata! I'll make sure you don’t return to office after this term. Stupid man, the correct answer is TONY BLAIR!"
And that’s how Mantu never returned to the Senate even though he supported the President’s third term agenda.
What do you do as a woman if your husband is a serial cheat and there are children involved? The question was put to me but I was stumped and I didnt have an answer.
1.Do you immediately divorce him?
2.Do you get your own back and start having affairs of your own?
3.Do you become a nervous, miserable wreck?
4.Do you pretend that it isn't happening & face the children instead?
or any other other solution?
As far as I'm concerned, aside from the death of a loved one, there is no greater trauma than to find out your 'significant other' has been seeing someone else.
In light of the aforementioned, and in particular due to the current media frenzy detailing the astonishing, alleged/supposed 'double life' debacle of Tiger Woods -I am re-printing here (with some tweaking) one of my most popular articles while, simultaneously, one by one his so-called mistresses seem to keep coming out of the proverbial woodwork to spill the beans on their liaisons. The victims in this tragedy are the children, and his wife, who never asked to be thrust into the national spotlight and dissected under a microscope and humiliated. Here, then, is one of my most-read and most-requested articles on the subject of 'serial cheaters'.
My personal opinion of married men who cheat is -- to kick them to the curb - the sooner the better. Of course, you have other options if you feel that you cannot live without the lying cheat.
These men have issues - deep-seated issues. These issues are not going to go away in a month or two. Sure, they got caught and now they are on their best behavior. But, how long will it last? until you start feeling comfortable - and look the other way -- then, one day - whammo...you're back to where you started from. The phone rings - the person on the other end just listens to you while you say 'hello'. No response. You finally hang up....wondering. Then, you quickly dismiss it. To ponder it too long might bring back unpleasant feelings and memories.
I was involved with two of these 'serial' cheaters in my life. I don't miss the pain of being in those negative, destructive relationships one iota. Yes, they made me wiser - they also made me older - in the respect that I wasted many years of my life on each one, thinking, or hoping, one day they would change. I realize in hindsight they were both deficient in a main ingredient needed as a building block in a relationship -- values. They were deficient in character, good character. They did not have the value system that I did. In my book, lying, cheating, manipulation and deception are not qualities you want to see in your 'significant other'.
No one wants to date someone who is a serial cheater. How do you know if someone is willing to cheat on you though? A number of different signs may indicate that someone has cheated many, many times in the past. Here are some of the common characteristics of serial cheaters.
HOW DO YOU KNOW HE WILL CHEAT ON YOU
Cheating in Past Relationships
If someone has cheated in a previous relationship, this may be a sign that they are a serial cheater. While there are some people who cheat once and never cheat again, the saying “once a cheater, always a cheater” is generally true in most cases. When you know that the person you are dating has cheated once or more, then you should know to be cautious when entering a relationship with them. Even if the person has not admitted to cheating, it is likely that you will still hear rumors about them that may or may not be true.
Lots of Short Relationships
Some serial cheaters remain in one long relationship with someone who they frequently cheat on. This is not always the case, however. Many serial cheaters have a lot of very short relationships. The best way to find out is to ask the person how many relationships they have been in. Also keep in mind that you will want to ask what the length of their longest relationship was. If the relationship was only a few months long, this may indicate that they do not have success in this department and it very well could be because they are a serial cheater.
Words and Actions
It is often easy to spot a serial cheater based on their words and actions. Anyone who makes themselves seem like the perfect person to get into a relationship with may be trying too hard. When someone is a really great person, they will not give you more complements than necessary or talk about a perfect future with you. If the person that you are seeing is insisting that you become sexually involved after one or two dates, this is also something that may indicate that they have been around the block more times than you can count.
Friends and Family
When you begin seeing someone, it is very common to not meet any of their friends or family members right away. Once the relationship is made official, it is very unusual to not be introduced to anyone that the guy or girl you are seeing knows. If you almost feel as though you are being kept hidden, it could be because you really are. Be sure to bring it up and if the person becomes defensive, it could be a sign that the person is really a serial cheater.
These are just a few of the signs that may indicate that someone is a serial cheater. The most important thing to keep in mind is that if someone has been willing to cheat in the past, they are also willing to cheat on you. Even though you may feel like you’re special or different, the truth is that you probably aren’t. Spotting a serial cheater early on will help prevent you from being the next brokenhearted victim.
Hope to hear from you!
Jackie Chan did a movie where he lost all his memory after busting himself up as usual and the only questions he had to ask was
Who am i what am i what is my purpose am i fulfilling my destiny or
rather am i walking within my destiny.
Most motivational speakers are actually dwelt on the basis of
discovering who they are.Some Folks discover who they are in this world
but others discover who they are in God .
Questions:
Who is God what does God want from me and why does he want this from
me.What does he think about me now ? yesterday and tomorrow.
Will he change his feelings about me when i sin when i am wrong or
when i am right.
Who is Jesus ? what does he want from me, what has he done for me ?
By identity are we recognised, without knowledge of identity are we
destroyed, By identity does society recreate the orweillian big brother
concept and it is this very same singularity of identity that judges us
in the end.
The last day shall not be a matter of how many shares or cars or kids
or female or husband or wife but by identity and singularity of choice
whilst in this world.
If you have been failing in your life walk be it Christian or
otherwise then you need to go find out who you really are that is who
God made you to be and from there can you go very far !
With knowledge comes much enlightment and sorrow , Without knowledge
people are destroyed and ignorance is no excuse.
For even the brothers of the Rich man could not reached from the grave
as Father Abraham said that they have the Law and the prophets !
Grace comes to those that recieve it and TRUE FAITH comes to those
that realise the absolute faithfulness of God .
Who are you ?
God Bless
