100 lawyers give Yar'Adua January 31 ultimatum to resign

One hundred legal practitioners under the auspices of Lawyers of Consciences have given President Umaru Yar'Adua till January 31, 2010 to resign or be removed by the National Assembly, failing which the group will be left with no alternative than to mobilize their learned colleagues and the Nigerian electorate to “take their destiny into their hands by any legitimate means possible.”

The group stated that if by the expiration of its ultimatum of January 31, President Yar'Adua has not come back to actively assume and perform his functions as the president, and he neither resigns nor is removed by the National Assembly in the application of sections 144 and 146 of the 1999 Constitution to enable the vice president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan be sworn-in, it should not be held responsible for whatever may result from such legitimate action(s).

What's your thoughts on this?

Pastor Taiwo Odukoya re-marries

 

 Pastor Taiwo and Bimbo Odukoya

Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, Shepherd of Fountain of Life Church has re-married, four years after the death of his first wife, Pastor Bimbo Odukoya in a plane crash (Dec 12 '05).

He married a South African, Simangele Zulu,a music director based in the UK, today Tuesday 5th of January at the Civic Centre in the presence of some church and family members.

I read this news and was actually happy for him but the person with me said she felt it was too soon for the pastor to re-marry. She thinks as a pastor, he should have remained single for a little while longer as a mark of respect for his dead wife.

I think it's better to re-marry than 'live in sin' (as a pastor)

What do you guys think?

Also, is four years not enough to mourn and move on from a dead spouse?

Nigeria is not a terrorist country

All because of this boy....

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Poor soul !!!

His act should not be used to judge Nigerians or criminalize us...we are not a terrorist country.

Nigeria is not a terrorist country

Nigeria is not a terrorist country

Nigeria is not a terrorist country

Nigeria is not a terrorist country

Ngieria is not a terrorist country.

They cannot blacklist NIGERIANS this way because of what one person did. Umar acted on his own...

But how do we fight this stigmatisation? What do we need to do to take our name off this list?

Girl, 25, looking for a wealthy partner - culled from GQ Magazine..

My name is Nancy, Please help me I don't know what I am doing wrong?


Ok, I’m tired of beating about the bush. I'm a beautiful (Spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million dollars a year. I know how that sounds but bear in mind half a million is middle class in New York City, so i don't think I’m over reaching.

Are there any guys who make $500k or more who could send me some tips? I've date a business man who on average of $200- $250k, but that's where i seem to hit a roadblock. 250k won't get me to central west park.

I know a woman in my Yoga class who is married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, yet she is not as pretty as I am, nor is she a genius. So what's she doing right? How do I get to her level?

Here are my questions

1. Where do single rich guys hang out?
2. What are they looking for?
3. Why are some plain Janes married to extremely wealthy guys
4. What kind of jobs should these men have?
5. Most importantly how do you decide on marriage instead of dating

P.S looking for marriage only. Please in replying hold your insults, I wouldn't be looking for these kinda guys if I couldn't match them in looks, sophistication, culture and keeping a nice beautiful home.

Response from a guy named John

Hello,

I read your posting with interest and have thought about your dilemma.

Here's my analysis. (And I am not wasting your time, I make over 500K a year, I fit your bill)

Your offer from the perspective of a guy like me is just a really bad business deal. What you suggest is a simple trade. You bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, but here's the pain.

My money will probably continue into perpetuity, in fact it's likely my income will increase but it's an absolute certainty that you won't be getting anymore beautiful. So in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and i' m a growing asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation is accelerating. You are 25 now and will probably stay hot for another 5 years, but less each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35, stick a fork in you.

In Wall Street terms you're a "trading position" not a “buy and hold" hence the problem with your word Marriage. It doesn't make business sense to "buy you" (which is what you are asking). So I’d rather lease. Lest you think me cruel, I add this, if my money where to vanish so would you, so when your beauty fades I need a way out as well. Thus a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.

I've learnt about efficient markets. So I wonder why a girl “as spectacularly beautiful and classy" as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy, if you are so gorgeous. It's hard to believe the $500k hasn't found you, even if only for a try out.

You could always make your own money, then we wouldn't need to have this conversation. I hope this helps. If you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.

Damn!!!

Imagine the look on Nancy's face after reading John's reply...

LOL!

Myne Whitman's 'A Heart To Mend'

Nigerian author Myne Whitman has written a captivating first novel that presents the gripping tale of a young woman finding her feet in the world and how her life intersects with that of the wealthy egoist she meets. This main story line runs through the subplots of a tear-soaked family reunion and high-powered company acquisitions.

A HEART TO MEND narrates the relationship between Gladys and Edward and offers a unique reading experience. Direct and action packed, the masterful use of emotion and suspense will keep readers totally engrossed and guessing till the end.

Sheltered Gladys Eborah has spent most of her life in a suburb of Enugu brought up in a deprived single parent household after losing her father as a young girl. After finishing her education, she moves to Lagos to seek a job and moves in with an estranged aunt who now wants to be forgiven for all perceived wrongs. Gladys suspects Aunt Isioma abandoned them out of disdain for their poverty, and has the uneasy role of the bridge between both families.

Her new friendships and career achievements gradually transition Gladys into an independent young woman. Soon, she begins to fall for wealthy Edward Bestman who, though physically attracted to her, is emotionally unavailable. Edward is very wealthy, but he is haunted by the past of his illegitimate birth and other secrets he will not share.

The themes of premarital sex, social class mobility, and romantic ups and downs that mark a budding love are fully explored. However, Myne Whitman takes the story even further. Some unnamed people are about to take over Edward’s business empire and Gladys is implicated. Who are these people who want to betray him and destroy their happiness?

A HEART TO MEND will bring tears to the eyes and cheers at the end especially for those who have experienced the search for a career or tumultuous family and emotional relationships. Readers will be pleasantly surprised by the description of Lagos, the Nigerian stock market, and other business intrigues.

Bride and groom speak

Obi Asika - Groom "The first time we met was about eight years ago. She argued with me for about five hours , I couldn't understand why the girl thought she could argue with me, but at the time she was seeing somebody and I was in another relationship, I almost got married. Then she came back for her friend's wedding some years back, I asked her "you are single aren't you?" she said yes. I said you know what, I am single too. We just took it off from there. We have been together for more than two and a half years, living together for two years, so getting married was just an actual progression. I am very happy and fortunate because she became my best friend.

Yetunde Bakare Asika - Bride "Apart from his dashing looks, he is one person I know who knows slightly more than I do. We will be happy for the rest of our lives. That's the plan and I hope we grow together. If we continue the way we are now, we ave nothing to worry about"

Wishing them the very best!

Hey people, welcome once again to a new year. I have a feeling 2010 will be a fantastic year for all of us. May some of all our dreams come true this year...amen.

One of the things I wanted to do this year was to change my blog to a .com, you know make it lindaikeji.com... but I recently discovered that MY NAME isn’t available. Someone has registered it and now wants me to pay to get it back. They started by asking for $200 dollars... they’ve come down to $160 dollars.

I aint paying sh*t. Barawo banza people...lol

Seriously I’ve been reluctant to pay for it...it’s quite annoying to have to pay for something you really shouldn't be paying for. I guess the person/people who registered it figured I’d be needing it one day. Yes I need it now, but how about you take out the zero so I pay $16 instead? Lol. Or maybe I should just stick to blogspot? What do you guys think?

But whether a blogspot or a .com, I can assure you that this site is going to be better than it’s ever been. I’m going to double my efforts to bring you more stories, pictures and interesting stuff. And please guest writers are welcome. If there’s any story, news, pictures etc that you want to share please feel free to send it me – lindaikeji@gmail.com

Like I said before...this is OUR YEAR. For those who have doubts, you just wait and see what God has in store for you...unimaginable blessings are waiting for you.

Catch you guys later
Mwah!
