Team Nigeria!!!

I do not know Buhari personally
But Soyinka, David-West, Fashola, Bakare, Tinubu
Olisemaka, Adefulu, Oyedele, Mamora... etc. 
They all endorse him
That is good enough for me today

Fear not the man Buhari
Even if he wanted, he cannot Islamize Nigeria
He cannot arbitrarily lock people up
He cannot govern by decree
He cannot act without the legislature and judiciary
This is a democracy

These are desperate times
A strong leader, and with an anti-corruption conviction
Is what we need at this point
All else will gradually fall in place

But one man cannot do it alone
He needs our support to lead aright
As arrowhead, his unyielding fearless stance assures
Other good things will follow

Obasanjo gave a solid backing to his own team
That was why Ngozi succeeded then, but not now
That was why El Rufai was impactful
Ribadu and others too

Buhari’s unyielding stance… Gidigba!
Would give the strong foundation
That would empower his team
And enable success


Nigeria has skilled, wise, motivated men and women of vision
Who will get great results
In the right environment
Imagine what is possible… Team Nigeria!

Osinbajo, Ezekwesili, Oyegun, Fashola, Amaechi, Oshiomole, Soyinka, Utomi, Kwankwanso, Okorocha, Mamora, Fayemi, Bakare, Tinubu, Anyaoku, Adeola, Ngige, Opeke, Aregbesola, Omogui-Okauru, Amosun, Ajimobi, Ajumogobia, Ajekigbe, Duke, Olukanni, David-Borha, El Rufai, Oyedele, Ribadu, Opadokun
Obi, Longe, Okei-Odumakin, Akintunde-Johnson, Belgore, Austen-Peters, Tambuwal, Agbaje, Sonibare, Ndukwe, Momodu, Kukah, Keyamo, Na’Abba, Ndubuisi Kanu, Nnamani, Falana, Mohammed, Akande, Abiola-Costello, Peterside...
...and many more…
As ministers, heads, advisers, elders etc.
Many at home… many abroad…
There are many in their 40s… many under 40
+ the most important player… U

Ah!… we have people…
Given the right environment?... Haba!

Let us vote in a new era
It is Buhari/Osinbajo + U
And other vigilant, critical, supportive, good people of Nigeria
Arise!... Team Nigeria!

Adieu My Redmi Note!

WARNING: This article may advertise a Phone you’ll want to buy next.

If I am gonna number the mobile phones I’ve used, my Xiamo Redmi Note should fall on the 13^th or above. The period of eight (8) months that it spent with me was my best experience ever with any mobile device. At the point of order, its fascinating attributes weren’t totally clear to me but I simply followed Onawole Habeeb’s #HabeebTechAdvice and the result was nothing short of splendid.

What exactly shouldn’t I talk about its features? Is it the sleek and slim design? Is it the optimum screen display that allows me read text and watch videos without stress? Is it the ever-rugged gorilla glass 2 screen material that refused to break even when I throw it from heights? Is it the UI (User Interface not University of Ibadan ooo!) that’s second to none? Is it the RAM (not Ileya RAM ooo, Random Access Memory) that’s higher than that of many PCs?

Is it the battery life that wouldn’t allow my Redmi Note go off even when PHCN keeps holding power? God! I miss my Redmi Note!! If I could  go on a “Facebook Strike” for a whole week, just to express my condolence, then you should know it’s more than just an ordinary phone.

The painful incident happened in Eko Akete exactly last Friday. I landed at MMA2 after cruising for about 56mins at an altitude of 30,000 feet ASL. As I moved away from the airport, towards LASUTH to get some tasks done, I was jokingly telling a business partner on phone that the statement “Eko oni baje!” has become invalid since 1960. I never knew I would be proven right.

Less than 30 minutes after dropping the call, I was relieved of my Xiaomi Redmi Note by the “Sharp Guys” of Lagos. The geolocation was latitude “Ikeja-Along”, longitude “Under-Bridge”. The guy(s) who stole my Redmi from the deep enclave of my front pocket must have strong connections with T. B. Joshua or Guru Maharaji or both. I no think say na ordinary eye. I swear! Abi no be this awa Lagos? My own Lagos? Abeg, no console me, abeg!

I got my SIMs retrieved the next day and thanks to Google cloud which brought back my synched contacts. I’ll like to express my sincere gratitude to Kunle, my younger brother whose “paalasa” I used to inform people about the glorious exit of my mobile companion. A loving friend gave me one of her “smart” phones within 10 hours and helped me gain some balance. It can only be called “smart”, compared to my Redmi. Just Kidding!

Did I tell you that my phone allows me to follow the lyrics of songs and Nasheeds? As soon as I put an audio file on my Redmi, it goes all over the internet to get me the lyrics of the song, it also scrolls the lyrics as the song plays. Ouch! I feel like crying right now! 

I’ll not even tell you that when my Redmi Note battery becomes 1%, I could still make voice calls for over 90 minutes. I hope you now know why I miss my phone so much?  My Xiamo Redmi Note is a dual SIM which makes family members, friends and business partners closer and I never had to carry two phones. Oh my Redmi! The major lesson here is that you don’t have to buy popular brands to get the best quality.

Rest in Perfect Disuse in the hands of those that wouldn’t put you to optimum use. I’ll miss you and the over 125 apps which made my world. I already got few of the apps back and would soon order for your twin again. Sorry I didn’t buy you a jacket, nor a raincoat while you were with me. But remember, I took you to the best places, including Calabar Kitchen? Until I meet your amazing features in your twin brother, tell your abductors “Dairis God oooooooooo” and that I will surely collect you back on Judgement day.

I wouldn’t forget all the ease you brought to www.justemdee.com/biz. Where is my handkerchief? Tears rolling from my eyes….

Rocking the Rocks of AsoRock

It’s a looong time I wrote in here. Apart from breaking the silence, I have a new gush of motivation to make you learn about rocks. I have been used to the word “Aso” and I have seen quite a number of rocks, but yesterday (2^nd March, 2015) I saw the two words come together to form a synergy of royalty. It was my first time of seeing the solvent “Aso” dissolve the solute “Rock” to form a neutral solution called AsoRock. I had the singular privilege of stepping my little feet into the Presidential Villa of the world’s largest black nation. May be I’m excited, may be.

It was a cool serene environment guarded by security angels and protected by the best available “technology” money can buy. The exams you would write and the series of fierce-looking guards you would encounter before gaining admission into the prestigious AsoRock University is quite intimidating. These dudes are ready to gun down a housefly if it misbehaves or over-behaves. The ambiance of luxury that the #AsoRock beholds is next to none. You can feel that from every inch of the stones with which the structures were made. Even as real as it was that I was in there, I couldn’t stop asking myself “so, here is the Presidential Villa I used to see on NTA News?”

A night before, Mom already told me that I should be on a suit. She doesn’t want her son to be caught on camera with the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria while dressing shabbily. I appreciated the advice and I harkened to it. The advice not only made me look great but also got me better selfies. That’s what having a great mother does for you…

Finally, finally, I met with Mr President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR) himself, clad in his habitual Niger-Delta dress code with that black sleek “presidential” cap. It was a great moment for me and a couple of members of the privileged audience. At least, I met the Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces right there in his hood. If you can shake me within the next 48 hours, you will get your share of the Presidential anointing before it expires.  No be small thing now! Did you just say “who cares?” Well, you fit try go there tomorrow morning, I wish you Goodluck.

No one actually cares as it doesn’t increase the value of the Naira neither does it #BringBackOurGirls. But, one thing you should know for sure is “WE” have set up a committee to look into these issues and “WE” are on top of the situation.  LOL! Let me not describe what I observed about Mr President’s countenances before, during and after the 3-hour programme. I prefer to make it presidentially “classified”. After this experience, I have understood better that we are all ordinary mortals and that a Presidential Handshake is just an ordinary handshake that has a “president” behind it. I have also realized, for an umpteenth time, that you can achieve whatsoever you set your mind to achieve and that whatever providence has destined to be yours will surely be yours, even if you are not fit or ready for it.

What I enjoyed most were not the snapshots and glamour nor was it the presence of five state governors(of course, including my birthday mate Godswill Akpabio), IG of Police, Minister for Youth Development and other goons in the house. It was actually the professional and highly skilled performance of the Presidential Military Band and the beautiful voice of a young female compere that co-anchored the event. This lady got me highly fired up, I’m gonna tell you why, later (God willing).  

There is a part I didn’t tell you. On my way back home, my trousers got torn for yansh. God!! The more I tried to stretch out, the more the thing dey tear. No, it wasn’t an accident neither is my suit Aba-made abeg! I just discovered I have grown bigger than I was two months ago when I rocked the suit last. Now, I need a presidential tailor to help me amend the trousers which tore in a presidential manner. You go apply? Conclusively, I now have a better view about rocks. I learned a lesson my geography teacher never taught me. That lesson is that, all rocks are beautiful but only the rock that has Aso behind it is special and powerful.

I need to quickly attend to justemdee.com/biz. Thanks for reading my uninteresting story about an interesting place. Love You!!
