REBRANDING NIGERIA

Posted by Odofin Caleb on March 20, 2009 at 10:45am

So many controversies has erupted on this issue of rebranding Nigeria Project by the new information minister, Prof. Dora Akunyili. Many have said it is a mere waste of money, many said, it is a wrong thing to do now, many said it is a move to discredit all the good works done by the minister while she was the DG of NAFDAC. Amidst all these, allegations, comments and complaint, the Rebranding Nigeria Project has been launched today, 17th of March, 2009 and a total sum of N150M has been set aside for this project. The new brand is “NIGERIA, GOOD PEOPLE, GREAT NATION”.Before I continue, I will just like you to know what branding and rebranding is. A brand is simply something that has become an identity of a particular product or service or company in simple language. When you think about a particular characteristic, you remember that company, for example when you think about yellow, you remember MTN, when you think about noodles, in fact you call it Indomie, talk of washing up detergent, we call it Omo, when you think about inconsistency, we remember NEPA, when you talk about NEWS, we remember Channels TV or CNN (thinking globally), when we talk about entertainment TV in Nigeria, STV comes to mind. This is a simple explanation of branding.Rebranding is now a situation where a particular company or entity wants to change what it stands for in the mind of people and many things are set in place to do this, it could be a simple change of Colour, Change of Logo (Like intercontinental bank did), change of use ( Omo rebrands with “dirt is good”). These changes are advertised until the new brand is impressed in the heart of the populace.The Brand Nigeria has been known for scam, fraudulence, unsafe business terraine, power problem and so on. This has made Nigeria to be disadvantaged in so many area globally. A Nigerian will not be allowed to arrive a country without a thorough security search which will even follow him about till he leaves that country; Nigerians will not be accepted by Paypal or Clickbank, the largest Payment processor and Digital Product bank respectively on the internet. Nigerians have been branded as corrupt and dangerous.Prof. Akunyili now decided to initiate Rebranding Nigeria Project which is aimed at branding Nigeria with a positive image. Many Nigerians have kicked against this move saying that, it is out of place for now, that concentration should be more on prevailing on the government to intensify its power project, intensify its fight against corruption, develop the economy and provide employment for the youths and food for the masses.I want to say, all what the people are clamouring for is correct and also the Rebranding Nigeria Project is also not out of place. Rebranding Nigeria Project is an external affair program, while development and fight against corruption is internal.The question we should ask ourselves as Nigerians is:Are there no honest people in Nigeria ? There are honest people in Nigeria.Are there no places in Nigeria that is safe for business? There are plenty of places in Nigeria that is safe for businessAre there no honest Nigerian Internet marketers and Information marketers? In fact, we are many!Are we not good people in Nigeria? We are good people in Nigeria.Are there no other countries that are having corruption problems in high places? Most nations do!Should we continue to be discriminated and deprived globally? No, we shouldn’t.This is the work of the Information minister to do, she will not be the one to fight corruption, she will not be the one to threat the power problem.I encourage Nigerians especially youths to support the Rebranding Nigeria Project. I believe in Nigeria, I believe in a new Nigeria. We are beginning to see it unfold. When it becomes good, we need a global acceptance to make Nigeria reach its full potential. So, let us REBRAND NIGERIA. To Non- Nigerians reading this post, if you have not met honest Nigerians, it means you are looking in the wrong places. You have at least met one here on this site.NIGERIA IS BEAUTIFUL!!!NIGERIA, GOOD PEOPLE, GREAT NATIONCheersOdofin Caleb www.youthsbusiness.com

Nigeria: Court Orders Arrest of Ex-Beauty Queen

Posted by Akin Osunlaja WebLagosian on March 19, 2009 at 11:10pm

Justice Deborah Oluwayemi of the Lagos High Court, Igbosere, yesterday ordered for the immediate arrest of Nollywood actress and ex-beauty queen, Ibinabo Fiberesima. The order of the court was sequel to the absence of the ex-beauty queen in court yesterday when the matter was mentioned in court. Her lawyer, Kemasuode Wodu, told the court that he had filed a stay of execution of the judgement of the court. Following this, Justice Oluwayemi asked, "Where is the convict?" Mr. Wodu answered that she was sick and currently recuperating at the BMH Hospital in Port Harcourt, The lawyer tendered a medical certificate which read: "To Whom It May Concern". But this was rejected on the grounds that it was not addressed to the court. Justice Oluwayemi frowned at the absence of the convict, adding that the application for the stay of execution of the judgement would not be heard until she was produced in court. The judge cited the cases of some convicts who are currently in prison, like Rev. King, to buttress her point. The former beauty queen was last month sentenced to five years imprisonment for dangerous and reckless driving which led to the death of one Dr. Giwa Suraj.

Obey your dreams because dreamers are the saviours of the world!

Posted by Dan WebNutritionist/Motivator on March 19, 2009 at 7:39am

I was heading home from work last night and strangely the words of James Allen kept ringing in my head, " the dreamers are the saviours of the world".I couldnt shake the words off.They lingered on till i went to bed.I woke up in the morning to the melodious chorus of Michael Jackson's Human nature playing like a marathon in my mind.It's been at least two decades since i first heard that song and yet its influence is just as powerful as the memory of a first kiss.My imagination immediately went to work directing a video featuring R&B icons Mario and Alicia Keys, performing a Grammy-styled rendition of Human Nature.I could just picture Alicia Keys magically fingering the piano while singing back up,with Mario's soulful lead, masterfully capturing the nostalgic mood of the song in vocal crescendos and diminuendos.My my my.....the memory of it is still sooooooooo refreshing.It got me thinking though.What if my Michael Jackson talked himself out of his dreams.We probably would never have heard Human Nature sung,at least not with such perfection.What if the eleven year old Quincy Jones decided not to pursue his musical interests? Michael Jackson's Thriller album may never have existed as the Hottest selling album in history.And Quincy Jones would probably have died from his regular diet of fried rats.What if Christopher Columbus never believed in his vision of a rich and fertile land across the seas? America would not exist today.What if Mary Slessor decided to be quiet about twin infant killings? I would not be alive to share these words today.What if Martin Luther King Jr and Barack Obama refused to commit themselves to a vision of a better future for their nation but instead chose to give in to the present crisis? America would have been caught in a cycle of baseless conflicts,hopelessness and economic despair.What if Nelson Mandela never believed in the power of a vision? Apartheid probably would still have a strong hold on South Africa.What if Berry Gordy had chosen the path of least resistant by sticking to a 9 to 5 job? There would have been no Motown Records, no Diana Ross & the Supremes, no Jackson 5, no Marvin Gaye.What if Winston Churchill broke his commitment to defeating Hitler and his allies? There would have been a genocide on a greater scale than was originally recorded during Hitlers rule.There probably would have been monumental abattoirs littered all over the world flowing with the blood of innocent Jews and Africans.What if Ted Turner thought that having an office couch for a bed for ten years was too high a price to pay for the success of CNN ? We would not have had CNN today and probably no Aljazeera.Imagine Thomas Edison giving up on his dream of inventing a light bulb after the nine hundred and ninety ninth trial.Do you have any idea the number of houses that would have been razed to the ground and lives lost through the use of candles and naked flames?What if Sir Alexander Flemming never pursued his vision of finding an antibiotic? He would never have stumbled on the legendary accident that brought about the discovery of penicillin.I think by now you know what i am driving at.Its become obvious that dreamers are truly the saviors of the world.Through them God gave us hope, music, TV, radio, ships, houses, medicines, books, leadership, deliverance, the Gospel and many other blessings.We enjoyed the benefits of their commitment to their dreams.My question is, Will our generation and the generations to come benefit from the realization our dreams? Or do we chose to ignore them and settle for an empty , slavish life of living to pay the bills till the day we die?I believe dream-killing is a crime against humanity.We deprive the world of the blessings of God when we shelve our dreams.We must commit to our God-given vision and leave a legacy for others to enjoy or else we'll never truly live.My advice to you is ,Obey your dreams and be the saviour you were meant to be!- Dan Abia

Why Is Facebook Trying To Be Twitter?

Posted by 9jabook.com on March 18, 2009 at 3:29pm

Facebook is driving me crazy. Only a few days after I made a post talking about how Facebook differs from Twitter and why I was changing how I use the Facebook service that Facebook decides to make major changes and become more like Twitter. The gist of my previous post was that Facebook was meant more for connecting with personal friends and family while services like Twitter and LinkedIn led themselves more to networking. That is why Facebook has the privacy controls and the limit as to the number of friends you can have. I also talked about how the seemingly proper way to network with the newly overhauled Facebook ‘pages’ where you can setup a Facebook presence for your business, project or personal brand and through participation in Facebook groups. Not soon afterwords I noticed how Facebook changed their homepage to become more Twitter like. Now today I see that Facebook is loosening privacy controls making it easier for a users personal data to be viewable to search engines and to other Facebook users. This is starting to piss me off, especially after deleting over 200 Facebook contacts, which it really did pain me to do, in order to align myself better with the spirit of their service. I began reserving my Facebook personal profile for family and close personal friends only with a promise to set up a Facebook ‘page’ so that I could communicate with my FB social media contacts, colleagues and co-workers. At this point I am sticking to that plan, but I really wish that Facebook would make up it’s fucking mind and stay true to the spirit of their service that made them one of the fastest growing websites on the planet. Why change to emulate Twitter when supposedly Facebook grows a Twitter’s worth of new users every week? Is it just me or is Facebook so scared of ‘the next big thing’ that they have forgotten that they are the big social network on campus, which they are….for now. Please leave a comment telling me what you think. I’d love to hear how you feel about Facebook’s recent changes.

sleep

Posted by A. F. Oesten on March 17, 2009 at 6:16pm

For more information visit my sleep news, articles and reviews site.

Prescription sleep aids are widely available, but they are only meant for short term use. Many people (and even doctors) seem to forget that these sleep aids have dependency and addiction issues, and were never meant to be taken in the long term. Taking prescription sleep aids for more than a few weeks puts you at risk of having to rely on them to get to sleep. Once you stop using prescription sleep aids at this point the rebound insomnia and other withdrawal symptoms can be excruciating. It is best not to start using prescription sleep aids if possible, and instead use herbal remedies to get to sleep. There are rarely any negative effects to taking herbal sleep remedies over prescription sleep aids, and they will not lead to dependency or addiction. For the best results I recommend looking for something with Valerian root and/or St John's Wort, the most effective herbal sedatives.

If you are suffering from insomnia you can get to sleep without the negative side effects of pharmaceutical drugs with a natural sleep aid. Not only is a natural sleep aid much safer, usually they are cheaper as well. While a prescription drug will leave you groggy and drowsy the next day, a natural sleep aid provides natural sleep, and allows you to awaken refreshed the next morning. Your natural sleep aid will also not expose you to the risk of addiction and dependency, and will not result in a strong rebound of insomnia if you discontinue use. They should always be used before considering prescription drugs; pharmaceutical sleeping pills should only be used in the most severe cases, and then it is not recommended to use them for long periods of time. Insomnia affects millions of people and the severity can range from something that is an annoyance to completely debilitating sleep deprivation, under these circumstances people use prescription drugs because it is the quickest fix; though as I demonstrated above, it is not the healthiest solution. So try a natural sleep aid and get the sleep you need without the side effects you don't.

Lorazepam has shown moderate effectiveness in controlling anxiety and some effectiveness in the treatment of insomnia. Many people however find that Lorazepam stops working for them after a week or two while conversely another group of people use Lorazepam for long periods of time recreationally. This is because Lorazepam, like most benzodiazepines, produces a very pleasant and euphoric feeling that lends itself to addiction. Also to be taken into account is the fact that one can easily form a dependence on Lorazepam for dealing with anxiety or sleep. These problems will become amplified if one stops taking Lorazepam. Psychiatric science is in its infancy compared to other realms of science, and in the future hopefully there will be much more effective and side effect free drugs than Lorazepam; for now it is best to avoid using prescription anti anxiety drugs if possible and instead look for help in milder forms of treatment such as therapy, introspection as well as natural remedies. St John's Wort and other herbs have been used clinically all over the world and are quite effective in treating anxiety and insomnia. In my opinion, Lorazepam should only be used to correct severe chemical imbalances.

The best ways to plan your day

Posted by Dare Ayodele on March 17, 2009 at 5:12pm

To be very successful and go through each day without stress, it is very important to plan your day. Maintaining the practice of having a daily plan can help you stay focused on the priorities of that particular day. You are more likely to get things accomplished if you pencil down your plans for the day.Before you go to sleep, plan out the following day. Personal Development Expert, Brian Tracy, states that one minute of planning will save you 10 minutes in executed action. If you wait until the next day to plan, you might run in to too many distractions and interruptions which will prevent you from staying focused on your plan. Also by planning the night before, you allow your subconscious mind to work with those tasks over night and in the morning you will know what your commitments are for that day, rather than trying to figure out your plans that morning. By having plan already prepared, you can cross-check any opportunities that come up during the day with your prior commitments and objectives. To achieve this, you have to have a must do list. Your must-do list should comprise of all the tasks that are of the highest priority for you and carry either positive or negative consequences. Spend some time carefully creating this list because once a ask goes into your must-do list-it must be, done that day. Don’t postpone or reschedule tasks on your must-do list unless absolutely necessary, because this will reinforce a bad habit of not holding true to your priorities-a habit which will eventually lead to idleness and not meeting your goals on time. Your must- do list should be relatively short in nature and should not be more than six items, this will enable you accomplish your set goals. It is very important for you to tackle these items first before moving on to other things.Keep track of appointments. These are the set times during the day that are dedicated for certain event. When you book an appointment, place it onto your main calendar and then transfer those appointments onto your daily planner each day. This will help you to keep your appointments.Delegate tasks if your work is too much. Always look at your to-do lists with an eye for delegation. You cannot do everything yourself so look at your to-do lists and ask yourself which of those activities you can hand over to other people to complete. This is a crucial aspect of maximizing your time.Make a should-do list. This is a list of the things that you should get done during the day, but are not crucial or necessary enough to warrant being on your must-do list. Your should-do tasks should be completed at your discretion only after all the items on your must-do list have been completed. Though this might not be necessary, but could save some time. Try not to postpone too much as three reschedules could put you out. If you find yourself moving uncompleted tasks over into the following day and over and over again then you must determine why that task is on your list in the first place and what value it has in your life. Make it a rule not to transfer a task more than three times if not you will be out in no time.In trying to plan ahead for the day, make sure you try to strike a balance with all aspects of your life. Do not give more priorities to others, thereby allowing other important aspects of your life to be neglected. If you implement these strategies for your day, you can successfully increase your personal and professional productivity and achieve your dreams and goals much more efficiently. Just give it a try and experience an amazing result.

The color of car speaks about your character

Posted by alex on March 16, 2009 at 2:59am

The color of car speaks about your characterEvery person chooses colors that best fit his character. It relates to almost all spheres of our life.Thus you may find out some steaks of your admirer judging by the color of his car (of course if he has the latter).White color is chosen by idealists, classics lovers, admirers of eternal love. It's a capital aesthete, a modest factory worker, a taciturn fan of reading books at leisure who may drive a white car. When on road these people are, as a rule, neat, following road laws. If one day you will see a white car owner driving reckless, be sure he has a sound ground for it!Those who prefer yellow color cars are big optimists. They wait for happiness to fall upon them unexpectedly. Such people like to live by tomorrow, they are not interested in the past, neither in the present. That's why they may seem a bit out-of-body. Keep aloof from yellow cars on road, they may not notice you.People, choosing blue color cars, are psychologically mature.Drug Intervention New Hampshire

Nigeria's economy the multiple Rape of A nation by itself ! Economist article

Posted by 9jabook.com on March 14, 2009 at 6:28am

A double strike Mar 12th 2009 | LAGOS From The Economist print edition Africa’s second-largest economy has home-grown problems, too STAND on the beachfront of Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, and a puzzling scene emerges from the tropical haze: a stately line of container ships, each at anchor, queuing to enter the harbour. Despite the global slump, congestion is not letting up, says the director of the company that runs the privatised port. The number of inbound containers has doubled in the past three years; so far in 2009 there has been no decline. Such is the crush in Lagos that getting cargo from ship to port to lorry still takes an average of six weeks. Such blockages are nothing to celebrate. But they indicate how 140m-odd Nigerians, despite being battered by a sharp fall in oil revenues and by an equally painful 20% devaluation of their currency, the naira, remain hungry for imports. Retailers tell a similar story. Coca-Cola plans to serve Nigerians over 2 billion bottles of sugary drinks this year, as it did last year. Procter & Gamble, which sells nappies, washing powder and so on, reports some slackening growth but still expects the young and fast-growing population to push up consumer demand in the next few years. Mobile-phone companies, notably MTN, which dominates the local market, are even more gung-ho. They continue to brag about healthy sales of handsets and new armies of subscribers, though the rising costs of imported equipment cut into profits; Nigeria now has some 64m lines, up from a handful a decade ago. Anecdotally, at least, businessmen’s bullishness seems so far to be borne out. Good hotels in Lagos still charge astronomical rates, building sites are crowded and vendors throng the city streets as ever; bootleg DVDs of Barack Obama’s inauguration are particularly popular. But like many poor countries (see article), Nigeria has not escaped the global storm. It relies heavily on oil and gas exports, which provide more than 95% of all foreign-exchange earnings and most of the government’s revenue. Both have been thumped by the tumbling price of crude, now at about $40 a barrel, more than $100 less than at last year’s peak. With nothing else to export—all those containers leave empty—Nigeria is especially vulnerable to volatile oil prices. Capital which washed merrily into the economy a year or two ago is flowing the other way. Most of it had served the hydrocarbon industry but some foreign investors, notably Americans, had started to see Nigeria as an emerging market; braver ones were tempted by its stockmarket. No longer. A property bubble has popped; the Nigerian Stock Exchange has tumbled by around 40% from its peak. Speculators and local banks are painfully out of pocket. No wonder the federal government is starting to sound worried. On March 10th President Umaru Yar’Adua at last signed into law a much-delayed expansionary budget, with spending for 2009 at $21.2 billion, a lot more than in early drafts. The newish finance minister, Mansur Muhtar, recently admitted to a meeting of businessmen in Lagos that he saw a “very gloomy picture in the short and medium term”. Nigeria, along with Africa as a whole, should be spared outright recession. Chukwuma Soludo, the central bank’s governor, says he still expects sub-Saharan Africa’s economies to grow by roughly 3% this year. Nigeria, he reckons, should muster more than that, though not the 6%-plus of recent years. That would barely match the rate of population growth, but if those figures are right Nigeria will be doing better than most and should avoid the acute pain of previous commodity-price busts, as in the 1980s, when the government could not pay civil servants and political instability ensued. Nigeria is also in better shape to deal with a slowdown because of some decent macro-economic reforms. Inflation, food aside, is quite low. The government has paid off sizeable debts or been relieved of them. It also has ample foreign-exchange reserves and has ferreted away $20 billion in a fund called the Excess Crude Account, which will help cushion public finances from the downturn. On the other hand, raising cash is getting harder: Mr Muhtar has just postponed plans to sell $500m of bonds on the international market. Trouble at home Yet even if the global crisis has not hit Nigeria as hard as elsewhere, it is exposing some unresolved problems at home. Take the banking system, which Mr Soludo says would have collapsed months ago but for an early round of government-driven consolidation. He calls the banks “shock absorbers” for the economy. But they look increasingly wobbly. Despite claims that they are well capitalised, with generous capital ratios of 22% said to be typical, they have all but stopped lending to each other or to local firms, especially smaller ones. Critics say the banks are frozen because many are dangerously exposed to the stockmarket slump, after rashly securing a large portion of their loans with now almost worthless equities. Without government support, some banks would almost certainly fail. None trusts the others. Oil and gas production, the economy’s mainstay, is also in bad shape. Long Africa’s biggest producer, Nigeria last year ceded the top spot to Angola. Production is dropping, in part, because militants in and off the Niger Delta kidnap workers and scare away oil firms. A new pipeline built to export gas to Ghana, Togo and Benin should have opened in January but lies empty. Talk of spending $12 billion to build another pipeline running 4,400km north across the Sahara to send gas via Algeria to Europe sounds fanciful. A sizeable share of local gas is simply flared off at source. Meanwhile, Nigeria still cannot keep its own lights on. Manufacturers, who account for a feeble 3-4% of GDP but at least create some jobs, grumble that they must rely entirely on costly diesel generators. Power cuts are common. It has long been obvious what should be done: existing turbines lack supplies of gas, transmission cables should be rolled out, more power stations must be built. Successive governments have let power generation dwindle, yet none has let private contractors act instead. Shortly before leaving office the previous president, Olusegun Obasanjo, passed a law ordering the privatisation of some power stations. But Mr Yar’Adua quickly reversed this, saying he was worried about corruption. A rare bright spot is agriculture. Nigeria’s lands are fertile; water, at least in the south, is plentiful. A fertiliser plant has been privatised and is supposed to start supplying farmers. Local food and tobacco prices remain high compared with world prices, which should give farmers good incentives. One day—who knows?—goods may once again flow out of Lagos harbour as well as into it.

HOW TO GET LOVE

Posted by Dare Ayodele on March 12, 2009 at 11:12am

Love is for giving and not for taking.The paradox is that when we give love to others unconditionally and without any expectations we get it back in plenty without even asking for it.Do not demand ownership of the identity of the other person,for each one of us likes to be a unique individual.

Love Your Self

Posted by Dare Ayodele on March 12, 2009 at 11:05am

Love starts from our inner self. You can't really love someone else unless you really love yourself first.when we love ourselves, we have a reserve of love inside that allows us to give love to others with greater freedom.Smile and say, "I love you," whenever you see your reflection! Do it as if you are happy to see you! Every single time you see your own reflection, smile, look you in the eyes, and say, "I love you."

THE JAMAICAN SEX SANDALS

Posted by DONHADLEY GIRLAND {WEBYARNER} on March 11, 2009 at 1:20pm

Jamaican Sex SandalsThis married couple was on holiday in Jamaica. They were touring around the marketplace looking at the goods and such, when they passed this small sandal shop. From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, "You foreigners! Come in. Come into my humble shop."So the married couple walked in. The Jamaican said to them, "I have some special sandals I think you would be interested in. Dey make you wild at sex."Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what the man claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them, being the sex god he was. The husband asked the man, "How could sandals make you into a sex freak?"The Jamaican replied, "Just try dem on, Man." Well, the husband, after some badgering from his wife, finally gave in, and tried them on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes, something his wife hadn't seen in many years!!In the blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Jamaican, bent him violently over a table, yanked down his pants, ripped down his own pants, and grabbed a firm hold of the Jamaican's hips.The Jamaican then began screaming; YOU GOT DEM ON DE WRONG FEET!!!

Islam and Christianity Part I

Posted by 9ja Child on March 11, 2009 at 7:12am

العنوان: Islam and Christianity -- part1التاريخ : Feb 18, 2005Form the book((Islam and Christianity /by Ulfat 'Aziz-Us-Samad –published by Al-Falah Foundationwww.falahonline.com ,ISBN:977 -5813-14-X ))It is therefore with a feeling of deep love and respect for both Jesusand Muhammad (pbut), and for the religions which they preached, that Iembark upon a comparative study of Islam and Christianity. If at timesI find myself disagreeing with the Christians, it is not over thereligion of Jesus, but over the altered shape and features that theydeveloped after his departure. In the words of Lord Headley, "Islamand Christianity, as taught by Christ himself, are sister religions,only held apart by dogmas and technicalities which might very well bedispensed with" ((Lord Headley : A Western Awakening to Islam, P.15))The Authenticity of the Qur'anOn the other hand, there is no such doubt about the Glorious Qur'an.It contains nothing but the revelations received by the ProphetMuhammad (pbuh). The revelations came to him in fragments, from timeto time. As soon as he received any, he used to communicate it to hisCompanions and ask then not only to commit it to memory, but also towrite it down. Muhammad (pbuh) used to indicate in a precise mannerthe place to which the revelation belonged. Thus the complete Qur'anwas committed to writing and also preserved in the hearts of hundredsof Muslims in the life time of the Prophet.After the demise of the Prophet, Abu Bakr, the first Caliph, chargedZaid ibn Thabit with the task of preparing an authentic copy of theentire text in the form of a book. The Companions of the Prophet wrotethe revelations that had come to the prophet on parchment or pieces ofleather. Zaid ibn Thabit collected all these and after comparing themwith what the followers of the Prophet had learnt by heart, compiled acopy, called Mushaf (bound leaves). About the genuineness orcorrectness of which there was absolutely no doubt.At the order of 'Uthman, the third Caliph, seven copies of the Mushafedition of the Glorious Qur'an, again confined by the memory of thosewho had learnt it by heart (hafiz), were prepared and sent to thedifferent centers of the vast Islamic world. One of these seven copiesis still in existence in Tashkent. The Czarist government of Russiahad published it with a facsimile reproduction; and we see that thereis a complete identity between this copy and the text otherwise in useall over the world. The same is true of the other extant MSS ofQur'an, complete or fragmentary, dating from the first century of theMuslim era.From the time of the Prophet to our own time the practice of learningthe whole of the Qur'an by heart has continued unbroken, and thenumber of huffaz can now be counted by hundreds of thousands all overthe world. The result is that no scholar, Eastern or Western, Muslimor non-Muslim, has ever cast any doubt on the purity of the text ofthe Glorious Qur'an. Even such an unfriendly critic as Sir WilliamMuri (( The life of Mohamet, Introduction, p.18)) writes about theQur'an:" There is probably in the world no other book whichhas remained twelve centuries with so pure a text"

i am Richard oluseye writing with so much fury and rage, because the way things go on in this country Nigeria is not pleasing one bit. last week i was walking down the road of ebutte-metta along oyingbo market, the state and form i found some people looks so unpleasing at all........if you don;t mind i can share what i saw toyou but i know you would not like it one bit.Before i start talking about this distasteful thing i will like to give a brief biography about myself. i am richard oluseye like i earlier put it i was born into the family of mister and misses Richards, with brothers of two and two sisters i keep wondering how on earth we manage to keep a fussed relationship, all the same we can't compare my family to a man who as 86 wives. i come to wonder how many children is he going to have and how he tend or rather plan to take care of them. back to my brief background, i got my primary education at ago ebga Methodist primary school, i also proceeded to st. Gregory's college to obtain my senior school certificate.........i was a bit disappointed by my result which i obtained from that school(in my weac i had e8 in mathematics while i had c5 in English so i could not use the result to secure admission into the university. so i waited for my neco, it seems anonymous with my weac the only different is that i had 8credit and i had d7 in English and a credit in mathematics so i was left with no choice that to sit for another exam outside the school......so God willing i had my result through GCE but still awaiting admission due to the fact that i am sitting for the present JAMB i sat for the last one choose UNI LAG but after so many screening i was not choosing for LAW my coarse since i left Greg. Now back to my main reason of writing, the society is at menace and need to be cleared...........we are talking about re branding while our people live in great angst and yet we loot the money meant for the people welfare............ i will continue this blog another time, but better still you can visit my blog at richard4real55.blogspot.com. there you you read my blogs.
