BREAKING NEWS: Fashola gets juiciest appointment as Minister of Works, Power and Housing

After a long wait of 6 months, Nigeria's President Mohammadu Buhari swore in his ministers and named the designated portfolio of his ministers earlier today. He appointed 25 official ministers and 11 State Ministers.




Of the list, I looked forward to Babatunde Raji Fashola's portfolio. When it was announced, I was quite impressed.

 Babatunde Raji Fashola: The most recent Ex-Governor of Lagos State will be in charge of  Ministry of Works, Power and Infrastructure. This is the biggest portfolio of the 36 ministerial appointments. 
I have no doubt in my mind that BRF will deliver. My only hope is that the permanent secretaries under his ministry will maintain his performance culture. I am hoping for better electricity and better roads.
Secondly, yet again a woman has changed with the mandate to head the Ministry of Finance. Kemi Adeosun, an economist and chartered accountant was appointed today as the Minister of Finance. This goes contrary to general belief that women in power are not fantastic money managers. If PMB believes she'll deliver, I believe she will too.
This is the complete list of Ministers.

Venting Tuesday : Convo With A Scammer

When will these scammers learn? Yes, scammers!!! Ever got a text message from a weird number telling you you have just won a large sum of money courtesy a popular brand? Or, perhaps, a strange phone-call from 'a long lost relative, friend, old school mate' and everything in between telling you how much he/she has missed you and would love to see you again after so many years ...blah-blah-blah Apparently, those examples I gave fall under the electronic type of duping (scam), other types of the electronic duping include email advanced fees, plishing . The face to face duping is another type of scam. Here, the fraudsters come to their victim in person, inviting them to participate in a too good to be true deal. They tell the victim he need not worry about money anymore because the deal they are offering will save him from being financially handicap for life. They even engage their victim in a discussion depending on the type of deal involved. The term 'scammer' is a

‎Inspirational Bites with Seun Sanni: BLESSED IS THE HAND THAT GIVES

"Responsibility is the only solution to the war that is ongoing around the world. We all have to be responsible for one another most especially with our giving. When you give, you're automatically saying no to poverty and if poverty is eradicated from the land no one will think of going to blow him or herself up for a cup of rice. I plead with you leaders of churches, I want you to please teach the true doctrine of love not how to benefit church only, but also outer world. How will you preach Jesus Christ, the prince of peace when the environment of the church you reside is without peace?

Game or Simply Lame

I was having one of my chitchat moments with a close friend and the topic 'Standards' was raised. It was then I realized that many dating couples have too high standards they expect of each other thus many single people or broken marriages. Everyone has standards,they keeps us motivated to do our best, but often times these standards cause undue stress. Some often impose their standards on their loved ones; this is a new source of stress and frustration for partners who feel they cannot meet these expectations. I'm not saying standards are not good or unhealthy in relationship, I only think it shouldn't determine how much or how far the relationship should go. It also shouldn't be a criterium to determine if the relationship will lead to marriage but then again who is to blame? The partner with unattainable standards or the one who isn't truthful to him or herself and believes these standards can be reached.
