Donald Trump to Resign

If opinions of those who know you from the past is anything to go by, the world might need to get set for a major political shakeup.

The ghost writer who authored POTUS, Donald Trump’ s 1987 memoir “ The Art of the Deal ” thinks the US president will throw in the towel before the end of his term.
Writer Tony Schwartz tweeted that “ Trump is going to resign” before investigators probing alleged ties between the Republican ’ s campaign team and Russia “ leave him no choice. ”
“ The circle is closing at blinding speed , ” the author tweeted . “ Trump is going to resign and declare victory before Mueller and Congress leave him no choice . ”
“ Trump’ s presidency is effectively over , ” he said in a follow- up tweet . “ Would be amazed if he survives till end of the year . More likely resigns by fall , if not sooner. ”
While writing Trump’ s best -selling breakthrough memoir Schwartz spent 18 months with the billionaire tycoon .
He spoke out last year against the real estate mogul during the presidential campaign , telling The New Yorker magazine that he put “ lipstick on a pig. ”
“ I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is. ”

FG grants Tertiary Institutions permission to conduct PUTME

The Federal Government of Nigeria has lifted the bans placed on tertiary Institutions that prohibited them from conducting the Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations as a procedure for admission into public institutions.

This was made known by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu.

He made this known in Abuja noting that post-UTME across all public universities, polytechnics and other tertiary institutions were earlier scrapped in order to know what was going on within institutions.

He said:

“We are going to allow universities to have some choice. Universities can now decide to organise post-UTME, if they want.”

Concerning the hiked Post-UTME fees, he said;

“We have asked them not to impose huge financial burden on the parents. The burden should not be more than what they can bear.

On the go...

All thank to Olorundare Mayowa; My passion for blogging has been fanned.

I guess this is what she wanted to accomplish after all

Trump's return to Manhattan meet protests and violence

Trump returns to his Manhattan house, Trump Towers for the first time as President but unfortunately, he was met with about 1000 protesters that came because of his comment on the recent Charlottesville crisis.

Trump tweeted:

Donald J. Trump

✔@realDonaldTrump

Feels good to be home after seven months, but the White House is very special, there is no place like it... and the U.S. is really my home!

Some of the protesters formed a human wall while others shouted messages like "no hate" or "impeach." Nearby, an inflatable caricature of Trump in the form of a rat was set up at The Plaza hotel.

Trump was criticized because of his statement on the violence following a rally of white supremacists and white nationalists in Charlottesville.

In the President's first remark, he called the violence an act of "egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides."

Two days later, amid mounting pressure, he made new remarks denouncing hate groups, including white supremacists.

He was therefore not welcome in his US home and was met with protest...

John Ude responds to brutality meted out to him by OAU Student Union Security...

OAU Student Union Security had reportedly beaten up a student named John Ude...

In a circulated broadcast message, John Ude explains what happened with the caption:

"MY SIDE OF THE STORY - HOW I WAS FEROCIOUSLY AND BRUTALLY ATTACKED BY THE UNRATIFIED OAU STUDENTS UNION SECURITY COMMITTEE WITH GARGANTUAN BLOOD POURING OUT FROM MY MOUTH"

Greatest Ife! Articulate Ife! It behooves me at this point in time to meticulously narrate my side of the event which happened yesterday, (Monday, 14th August, 2017) around the Students Union Building bus stop where members of the Students Union Security Committee led by one Sheyman who is no longer a Great Ife Student and an unidentified student by the name Olaoye Gideon (G1).

I was going to the SUB Bus stop as a concerned student alongside the SRC TMC to enforce the resolution of the Parliament which ordered the President to hand over the Union bus to the Transport Management Commission (TMC) in accordance with the provision of the constitution of our sacrosanct Union. As I followed members of the TMC to enforce this decision, Sheyman, the illegally acclaimed CSO, Olaoye Gideon (G1), Kante, Fakay, Lukman (L & K), Leke (a student who recently slap Angola Hall Chairman that was recruited by Dr Ibk to the Security Committee and five others immediately upon sighting me throw heavy punches to my nose and lips with heavy sticks dancing at my back while I was matcheted at the back at the same time. All these happened at the back of the President office as I was forcefully walked down to the place by these thugs.

ON BEING EXPELLED FROM THE LEFT
To my utter dismay, I read a release from the Security Committee late yesterday night that I was expelled from the left. This is untrue. I was never expelled from the left. I only voluntarily renounce my membership of Pacesetters Movement which is one of the left organization. How does my voluntary renunciation of membership amount to being expelled? This defies logic and scientific intellectualism.

ON BULLYING OF STUDENTS
This is a fat lie from the pit of hell. I have never bully any student on this campus as I am a staunch admirer of the no to oppression stand of our Great Union. I wonder why the propaganda of bullying is coming up at this time that am teaming up with progressive minds to enforce the resolution of the Parliament and forcing the administration to do the right things.

ON DISSOCIATION FROM THE SECURITY COMMITTEE
The Students should note that I am a member of the Security Committee, not until recently when I started opposing frauds happening in the Security Committee. It all started when I challenge t Sheyman, the self acclaimed CSO on why suspects caught are not paraded as this is against the tradition of our Union. I raised this issue when I noticed that most of the suspect caught are freed even despite the fact that dispassionately carried out investigation has indicted them of stealing.

It is unfortunate that Sheyman and Dr Ibk connived together to be collecting money from the parents of the thieves caught. Atimes, they collect nothing less than 100, 000 naira to 150, 000 naira from poor parents of the suspected thieves in exchange that they won't be paraded. It was this money making venture avenue that I condemned that I suddenly become their overnight enemy. Should our Union be a platform of collecting money from cold blooded criminals in exchange for their release? I weep for the future of this Union. I have seen some cases where some students who have problem will personally purchase patrol to the Union bus and yet, these students won't be rescued as the President will use the bus for his official use. I plead that all these should stop but unfortunately, everything fell on deaf ear. I internally condemn the way members of the Committee are sleeping with their girlfriends in the Security Committee room, I was labelled a traitor for this. The rot has gotten to the point that members of the committee have sex with female students who have allegations levied against them with the promise that they will be exonerated. It is all these that I frowned at that led to me being attacked. These are what led to me being labelled a traitor. These are what led to me being punched by over 10 hefty men with blood flowing out of my mouth.

CONCLUSION
It is high time Great Ife Students rise up and defend their Union. The Dr Ibk led administration is a money making venture Union. The President and the Security Committee are not concerned about Students welfare. How they will make money through the Union and feed pensioners is their priority. This is also a time for the Parliament to fully assert her power by disbanding the thuggery Security Committee turned Presidential bodyguard and constitute an integrity filled one to truly serve and defend the interest of Great Ife Students. Meanwhile, I am not deterred. I cannot be conquered by tyranny and heavy beating and I will never bow to fear until sanity is restored to this Union.

OAU Student Union Security reportedly beats up student for making false allegations..

 Earlier in the morning on Monday, 14th of August, a member of the security committee who was disclaimed few hours ago, John Udeh, who is a part 2 student of English, was spotted in the students' Union building saying;

    "Security committee is a scam, they collect money from cultists and thieves, who ought to be moderated."
    
     Later in the evening on the same day, the whole Student's Union building was in chaos, shouting and beatings took over the atmosphere. Mr. John was seen with bleeding lips.

    Mr. Ridwan, a member of the security committee, who could be identified as Kante, made it clear saying that;

     "Udeh has been constituting nuisance in the Union. Udeh accused the SU Chief security officer of collecting #200,000 from the popular popstar, Lil kesh, who performed in African Amphitheater, OAU on the night of Saturday, 12th of August. Udeh said he got the information from the Baba ibeji, a senior security member of the university. Thesame Udeh was responsible for the punching of the SU CSO in the eye on the night of the performance".
      
     The SU C.S.O denied ever collecting any dime from the pop star as Udeh claimed. He made efforts to take Mr. John Udeh to 'floor O' for disciplinary actions but all efforts were washed down the drain with the intervention of the Secretary General (boluwajaiye Adeolu), his assistant (SIEWEN), Hon. Babatunde - the Chairman of the Transport and Maintenance committee, and several SRC members.

     Baba ibeji, the senior security officer came to the scene and spoke with John Udeh, whose face was swollen and lips bleeding. In his words, he didn't not deny telling Udeh about the collection of money from the pop star, though he did not state the amount.

     "You are all great thieves, I told you about the money and you are all acting based on personal and selfish interests including the SU C.S.O. Money can't be issued out to all of you except for the delegate. You should have met me on the money issue and I would have settled it." the man stated in his chat with Udeh.

     However, Mr. Udeh was taken in to the Secretary General's office, were the case was presided by Baba ibeji.

Building collapse in Imo State, Kills four, injures six.

At least four persons have been confirmed dead in a building collapse in Imo State. Also six people fwere said to be rescued alive from the same three storey building collapse.







The collapsed building is situated at No.9 Egbu road, by fire service junction in Owerri and the incident was reported to have occurred on Sunday Morning.

Possible reasons for this collapse is the structural defect of the building because the Landlord allegedly added two more floors to the building without approval.

The Imo State government has therefore instructed that all ongoing building construction should go for re-verification before completion.

An eye for an eye will leave Nigeria blind - Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, has said that an eye for an eye will leave Nigerians blind.

This was as a result of the quit notice issued to some Igbo residents in the North.

Abubakar has said in a statement that the issue was generating heat in the polity, adding that the counter-notices issued to other Nigerians in certain parts of the country, were among the ripple effects.

The statement titled "An eye for an eye" reads

“First and foremost, it is a fallacy to believe that there are people of northern or southern origin. Nigeria only has people of one origin. We are all of Nigerian origin. As Nigerians, we must be pragmatic enough to realise the obvious truth that an eye for an eye will leave Nigeria blind.

‘Let me at this juncture remind these “quit noticers” that when brothers fight to the death over a domestic dispute, it is their neighbours that eventually end up inheriting their father’s property.

It is also for this reason, among others, that I have urged and still urge that Nigeria should be restructured and that state of origin ought to be removed from our constitution and other relevant laws and policies, to be replaced by state of residency.

If we, as Nigerians, are tied to our residency, rather than the state where our ancestors originated from, this whole idea of quit notice would not have arisen in the first place.

Let us remember that though we have many ethnic nationalities in Nigeria, we are all largely of one race. In the United Arab Emirates, foreigners exceed the native Emiratis in number, yet the UAE is one of the most peaceful nations on earth. If people of different races can live in peace in South Africa and the United States, why can’t we do the same here?”

North Korea vs US crisis doesn't stop tourist from visiting Guam.

For over a week now, there has been serious words exchange between Pyongyang and Washington resulting in Donald Trump vowing to rain down "fire and fury" while North Korea retorting that Trump was saying "load of nonsense" and that he was "bereft of reasoning"

The crisis came in as a result of the New United Nations sanctions condemning the North's rapidly developing nuclear program drew fresh ire and threats from Pyongyang.

Guam is a key outpost for the U.S. military, which uses it as a base for bombers and submarines.

The island's sandy beaches and aquamarine waters makes it a popular getaway for travelers from Japan and South Korea. Guam is only about three hours by plane from major cities in both countries.

Despite the issues, travellers and tourists haven't stopped pouring into Guam.

Won Hyung-jin, an official from Modetour, a large South Korean travel agency, said several customers called with concerns, but they weren't worried enough to pay cancellation fees for their trips.

Chiho Tsuchiya from Japan heard the news, but she decided to come anyway with her husband and two children. "I feel Japan and Korea also can get danger from North Korea, so staying home is the same," said the 40-year-old.

"It seems North Korea racks up tension once or twice every year, and travelers have become insensitive about it," Won said. His company has sent about 5,000 travelers to Guam a month this year, mostly on package tours.

The U.S. territory has a population of 160,000, but it attracted 1.5 million visitors last year. One third of Guam's jobs are in the tourism industry.

Trump is a guy breft of reasoning - #North Korea's Nuclear weapon threat and US response

North Korea's threat to the US for the new United Nations sanction has not gone unattended to.

There are fresh evidences that the North Koreans have overcome one of its major obstacles to being able to hit the US with nuclear armed missiles and this has gotten wild reactions and scare in the US and around the World.

Donald Trump in a video earlier on has reacted to the Threat saying:

“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” Trump told journalists at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey. “They will be met with fire and the fury like the world has never seen.”

Kim Jong-un's regime seems to be ready after all as they retorted at Trump calling him "a guy breft of reasoning". They went on to give a detailed plan to launch missiles aimed at the waters off the coast of the US Pacific territory of Guam.

A statement attributed to General Kim Rak Gyom, the head of the country’s strategic forces, reada: “Sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him”. The general outlined a plan to carry out a demonstration launch of four intermediate-range missiles that would fly over Japan and then land in the sea around Guam, “enveloping” the island.

Expect more details of the planned attack soon.

Chris Brown's daughter launches Kids Clothing Line

Chris Brown's 3-year-old daughter Royalty Brown just launched her fashion line for kids.

She is a fashion designer.

Royalty got a little help from her mama Nia Guzman in creating the unisex kids clothing line but little RoRo definitely put her stamp of approval and signature style on the threads!

The preschooler's mission statement is to offer clothes "for the fun and energetic kid with an outgoing personality."

Quite impressive really that a kid of that age can have something as creative and worth while as that.

Parents should encourage their kids to be creative and follow after their passion.

Sexy!!!

Blogger's perspective:

We Ladies love to be appreciated and most times a guy calls you sexy and you are all mushy and all, but have we ever sat down to think about it critically or analytically?

Well, I saw a Lady, Ify Omeni's post on WhatsApp on being sexy and I thought it would be worthwhile to share it.

Kindly read and let me know what you think.


"SEXY OR CHRISTLY
She was weeping bitterly as if she was bereaved and I was really concerned. I waited patiently while she composed herself and told me what was bothering her.

‘He called me sexy,’ she said, in a tear filled voice.
‘Who?’
‘My colleague. I feel so terrible. That means I have been projecting the wrong image.’

I was tempted to laugh as I got the drift of the conversation. My weeping friend is a Christian and was enraged that a colleague saw her as sexy. According to her, it means she is not Christlike.

‘People should see me and see Christ!’ She screamed angrily.

I meditated on her words and saw reason. As usual, I checked the meaning of the word, Sexy. The WordWeb defines it as, ‘marked by or tending to arouse sexual desire or interest.’ or ‘exciting sexual desire. I was shocked to see the definition. No wonder my friend was so distressed. If a man sees you and feels this way, I don’t think that is very flattering.

The word, Sexy is usually used to describe a lady that looks very alluring and most ladies feel excited when they are described that way. But in reality, the word sexy means ‘full of sex.’

My husband or my fiancé (probably) can call me sexy, but another man? No! I will feel like the other lady did. So I did my own coinage. I want to be called Christly. That when people see me, they should see Christ. They should see you coming and say, ‘Don’t say that thing. Female Jesus is here.’

So young lady, ask yourself, are you SEXY or CHRISTLY?"

August Vacation.

Wait...

I actually took a break last years August and the reason for that was to complete my undergraduate program.

And sincerely, I am sorry for that abrupt, permission-less leave.

It took a while to return because I was wondering, how can I make our blog better.

I decided that since we are fabulous gist, we would keep being that but each post we make on the blog would be a gesty kinda post but from the perspective of the author.

We would retain the descriptions of the blog's content tho.

So y'all get ready for gist. Grab a chair, get popcorn and coke and y'all let's dig it...

Be INSPIRED

Sometimes life throws us shades we never imagined and this tends to discourage us most of the time.

A decision to never give us is a conscious and continued decision.

Remember, you are the best person. No one is as good as you and no one can ever be like you.

If nothing seems to encourage you then do the honors of encouraging yourself.

Have a blessed and excellent week ahead.
