reals

Some people will wonder what this is all about after all, with Nigerians being their very own problem. It is no longer news that the famous corruption in the country has seen more day light than court sessions involving this. Nigerians have realized that the only time they are fast and accurate in fingering one person as the problem of the country, is when we have a common enemy. If you meticulously investigate the levels of our country, the various strata of our society, you will be shocked to find out that every session of this country has gotten a routine that is based on corruption.

For exampe, while the people of the country are very much aware of the predicament of their fellow country people when it comes to poverty and lack of jobs, lack of social amenities, lack of a functional government, and a hopeless situation. When a school is planning to have children of the ordinary Nigerians (because the influential ones are abroad) attend the school they are erecting,  but they now have the outrageous amount of money as school fees, especially for the kids who have not started speaking yet, making parents pay through their noses for a child who only goes to school for the time of it. Why will you charge parents over 200k for a term, to hold on to their kids that haven’t started making a sound  the form of communication? They tell you it is because they’re having to look after your child in totality, when they basically put these babies to sleep for a large percentage of the time they spend with them.  Corruption is politics, corruption is civilization, and corruption is in the human nature.  When anyone then says they are fighting corruption, I always look at them knowing fully well that they are about to use the system to their advantage.

from @coveringpotus – President Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday that he disagreed with the chants of “send her back!” directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar during his campaign rally Wednesday night. The chants echoed recent comments he has made about Omar and three other minority congresswomen. “I wasn’t happy with the message they gave last night,” Trump said. “I was not happy when I heard that chant.” Asked by a reporter why he did not try to stop the chant directed at Omar, Trump said he thought he had done so by starting to speak again “very quickly.” But the president did not start speaking immediately. He instead remained silent for about 13 seconds as the chants were heard. Asked what he thought prompted the chant, Trump told reporters that they should go to North Carolina and ask the people there. Read more by clicking the link in our bio.

He stood passively onstage and waited for the chants to die down on their own before resuming his speech. Within seconds, he was back to criticizing Omar.

DonaldTrump caused controversy at yet another #Trump rally, this time in North Carolina, where he verbally attacked a U.S. Congresswoman and prompted chants of “Send her back!” from the crowd.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During Trump’s latest rally, he said Congresswoman Ilhan Omar “looks down with contempt on the hardworking Americans saying that ignorance is pervasive in many parts of this country.” He continued, “obviously, and importantly, Omar has a history of launching vicious anti-Semitic screeds.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s when the crowd began chanting “send her back” as Trump proudly looked on. “So that’s Omar,” he added. Trump’s words have seemingly incited his supporters, and many felt like the display was distasteful, even by previous Trump rally standards.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Omar is a Somali refugee and a naturalized US citizen, who became one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress last November. Not allowing the negativity to affect her spirit, Omar channeled (and quoted) Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise” poem in a tweet responding to the Trump and his rally supporters. “You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise,” she tweeted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She later posted a picture of herself standing in front of the House Chamber with the caption, “I am where I belong, at the people’s house and you’re just gonna have to deal!” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

from @m.homazadeh – #Ilhanomar , the 37-year-old mother of 3, born in Somali. Her mother died when she was 2 years old. She spent 4 years in a Kenyan refugee camp before moving to the US in 1995.
.
Ilhan tried hard to “be a bridge builder and to forge relationships that never existed”. But “Being an immigrant, a refugee, Muslim—all of those things represent an otherness that is not easily confined into the social fabric of this country”, Ilhan says.
.
When she began a campain for congress election, the perspective was not positive. “People said I should be proud of myself if I got even 10% of the votes!” But, after a really interesting effort and competition, she was elected in Nov. 2016.
.
She is fighting against #Islamophobia and #racism, and there is a tremendous attack on her.

در سومالی بدنیا آمده و مادرش را در 2 سالگی از دست داده. 8 ساله بوده که به اردوگاه مهاجران کنیا کوچ کرده و بالاخره در 12 سالگی، جواز مهاجرت به امریکا را گرفته است.
.
ایلهان عمر – که الان 37 ساله و مادر 3 فرزند است – میگوید: “امریکا برای ما خوش منظر و دلفریب بود؛ سرزمینی با پرچینهای سفید و چمنهای پیرایش شده که هرکس هرچه لازم دارد، مهیاست. ولی اولین تجربه ما پس از رسیدن، رانندگی در منهتن نیویورک بود. همه جا زباله و گدایان و بی خانمانهایی که در خیابان میخوابیدند. یادم می آید به پدرم نگریستم و پرسیدم: این شبیه امریکایی نیست که به ما قول دادی. و او گفت: ما هنوز به امریکایمان نرسیده ایم. باید صبور باشی.”
.
ایلهان توضیح میدهد که چطور سیاهپوست بودن، مسلمان بودن، و پناهنده بودن، هرکدام “دیگری بودن” را در جامعه امریکا نمایش میدهد. و او چه سختیها پشت سر گذاشته تا “سازنده پلها و گدازنده و شکل دهنده روابطی باشد که از پیش وجود نداشت”.
تلاش سنگین و امید الهام بخش او در مبارزه برای کسب کرسی نمایندگی مجلس، آنهم در شرایطی که “مردم میگفتند حتی اگر بتوانی 10 درصد آراء را بدست آوری، به تو افتخار خواهیم کرد”، واقعا جذاب است.
.
این مادر سیاهپوست محجبه در پاییز 2016 توانست نمایندگی کنگره از ایالت مینسوتا را کسب کند و امروز از تاثیرگذارترین چهره های اجتماعی – سیاسی در امریکاست.
فارغ از زیرکی و کاربلدی او در پیشبرد اهداف ضد نژادپرستی و ضد اسلام هراسی، فکر میکنم شخصیت این زن و اعتماد بنفس و تلاش و پیشرفتی که به نمایش میگذارد، جای توجه دارد.

For the sake of all things old send beautiful, the app that seem to have been responsible for the elderly home view in your timeline is now being called out and accused of taking people’s personal information from the right request process before the actual usage of it. Find the tweets.

#TSRTech: Whew chillaayy! Let me find out this app may be a whole scam! The FaceApp app has had all of our timelines looking like Life Alert lately, with everyone trying to see what their ‘aged’ selves look like.

There are now reports that claim that the digital app created in 2017 at Wireless Lab in St. Petersburg Russia, gives the developers—and possibly even hackers—access to your personal information.

Following the fat shaming that was levelled against Kim Kardashian some time  ago,  there she was seen on vacation with a body no body recognised, Kim k seems to have gotten a certain permanent solution to her problem as fans assume what exactly they think she has done.

While Kim is debunking the rumour that she is now on a vegan diet, and that she didnt have her hips removed to permanently have her slim figure intact,fans are however calling her out for what they think is not exactly true.

Well what do you guys expect? If she has found herself a permanent solution shouldn’t that be a good thing for you? Since if she gains any weight, you will be the first to call her out. But  Blogger perezhilton and his peeps are not here for it.

from @kimkardashian – Kevin Keith was convicted of a triple homicide back in 1994 in Ohio and was sentenced to death. I heard about Kevin Keith’s case last year & the more I learn about it, the more I believe the world needs to hear what happened to him! He was on death row & came within days of execution before the governor of Ohio commuted his sentence to life w/o parole.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin Keith through a video visit & was so impressed w/ the amazing programs he created in prison to help others inside better themselves! So much evidence has been uncovered proving Kevin’s innocence. I hope justice is served soon & he is released.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, again ordered free passage at the Lekki and Ikoyi toll gates on Wednesday, during peak hours.

In a statement signed by the Governor’s Deputy Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, the toll-free passage at the plaza on Lekki-Epe Expressway and the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge would run between 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. in the morning, and also at the peak period in the evening (4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.).

The statement reads, “Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared toll-free passage for all motorists going and coming out of Lekki axis during rush hours tomorrow, Wednesday 17th of July 2019 to allow the State’s consultants complete the traffic simulation survey that was started a couple of weeks ago.”

According to the Governor, the cost of the toll fees for the study period would be borne by the government.

Recall that Governor Sanwo-Olu said the State was undertaking a traffic study with a group of experts to know where the traffic would go when the tollgates are left open for steady movement.
.
“It is only when we do this activity at the peak hour that we will be able to understand how to deal with congestion in these places,” Sanwo-Olu said.

Senator Peter Nwaoboshi on Tuesday reclaimed his Delta South Senatorial seat as the Supreme Court justices unanimously ruled in his favour against Ned Nwoko.

Ned Nwoko had approached the apex court challenging the earlier ruling of the court of appeal which declared Nwoboshi as the winner of the election.

– THIS MIGHT BE YOUR CHANCE TO GET YOUR QUESTION ANSWERED!! I would like to ask my favorite democratic candidate about police brutality.What would you like to ask ? what change would you like to see in your community and in the USA 🇺🇸? 2020 is getting very close let’s get familiar with who is running and how they can change the country ! Put your questions down below and your questions may be answered very soon😊😊

All Progressives Congress stalwart, Bola Tinubu, has rubbished reports linking herdsmen to the murder of Olufunke Olakunri, the daughter of Afenifere Chairman, Reuben Fasoranti.

Tinubu expressed his opinion while fielding questions from journalists after paying a condolence visit to Fasoranti at his Akure home on Sunday.

He said it was unfortunate that some people were using the death of Mrs. Olakunri to play politics, adding that kidnapping had always been taking place in the country.
.
The APC leader said crime had no tribal affiliation even as he wondered where “the cows” were when the alleged herdsmen attack took place.
.
Tinubu said, “How many years ago have we faced insecurity in this country and cases of kidnapping? Is Evans who was arrested, and his disclosure, then a herdsman? I don’t want to be political. The question is where are the cows?
.
The APC national leader, however, admitted that the security challenges in the country must be addressed.
.
He said the herdsmen issues should not be allowed to divide the country.
.
Tinubu said, “I am a nationalist and the security concerns and challenges right now must be faced squarely throughout Nigeria. The incident that affected one member of our family, Mrs Olakunri, is saddening and unacceptable but nobody can return her alive, she has answered the call of her creator.
.
“We must not use this incident to divide ourselves but we must use it as a cure to the security problem by providing additional police and patrol.
.
“We also need additional security reinforcement along Ore Road and various flashpoints across the country. I have discussed this with various authorities. The governor is aware and being proactive about this.
.
“The security challenges are numerous across this country. More police are being recruited and it takes time to train and deploy them in various areas, nobody prepares more than necessary for this.”

I’m proud of myself, my heart, and my strength. growing up in the light with a million eyes on you just isn’t normal. I’ve lost friends along the way and I’ve lost myself too sometimes. my first tattoo was “sanity” to remind myself everyday to keep it. I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole young adult life and after my baby i dealt with all the internal ups and downs. I felt like i had to find myself completely again. I keep a whole lot to myself but just wanted to share and let you know I’m human. my life is not perfect and what you see here on social media is just the surface. be gentle with yourself, move on, and let go. we are all capable of great things, worthy of love, and allowed to express ourselves. do more of what makes you happy and be unapologetic. now is your season ✨ we all have a magnificent destiny.

Who is excited to see Nicki as an angry bird?  Not that she perfect for the role due to her expressiveness,  but being in an animation and with that a lovely voice she makes, I literally can’t wait to see this movie in cinemas next month.

Wait a minute, would it have been more perfect if Cardi B was another character on that movie? Like a hawk? A kite? A pigeon? Just wondering aloud. 😉😉

As most of you have heard, the @thebig3 decided to deactivate me for the remainder of the 2019 season. I respect @icecube & the other league executives, however, I am extremely disappointed with the way that this has been handled. Besides the embarrassment, it’s disappointing to read on IG that this decision had been made, especially without sharing it with myself or my manager. Only after I heard from the media, I was then told that the big boys cutting checks decided that they had to deactivate me with no real specific explanation. TMZ apparently did manage to get a clear answer from Ice Cube, “my health was their concern.” I have been 100% transparent about my condition before signing the contract, but at that point it wasn’t an issue. I was told after game #1 that I had been given extra time to get stronger. I have been working hard daily to get in better game shape. The willingness & intent has always been there to play. The Rhode Island game that is happening tomorrow was the game I have been looking forward to the most as many people know that this is where it all started for me. I am aware that at some point in life we have to accept & surrender to what God has planned or not planned for us — so I am staying positive. I worked very hard to make a comeback in my life & no rejection can stop me. Thank you @TheBig3. I would love for you all not to express any negativity towards the Big3 as I am proud & rooting hard for Ice Cube to build this league to the next level. He is the only black male owning a sports league in the USA, just let that one sink in for a moment. We must always think about the big picture, supporting our brothers & sisters. Let’s all be open to live with the concept of feedback because this can help us to improve. I hope that we can use this situation as a lesson to grow, heal and become better people. I salute all of you, thank you for the love & energy. S/O to Ed Brown for letting me wear his jersey for the Slam photoshoot.
Much love! -Lamar.

As human beings, we often don’t realize that we are unconsciously following in the footsteps of our parents. They have been our school of life until adulthood, and beyond. I feel that we are living in a world that for many of us is an emotionally unhealthy world filled with baggage from our past that we often never think about. A world of unconsciousness.
We think we live, but many of us we really don’t; we are on auto pilot. We are not even aware of this until conflict knocks down our doors. These moments or periods make us reflect back on ourselves. Who is really in control of my life? Me or my past? Have I become everything I hated? My beautiful escape from the pain of life has always been basketball. The first thing I did when I heard that my Mom passed away, was run to my childhood court in Lincoln park and escape there. Being deactivated from the Big 3 has made me realize that I can no longer depend on basketball to find emotional relief from the inevitable hurdles of life. I’ve made a decision to stop this time, reflect for real and not run away or escape – not into basketball or anything else.
A door has closed and I am going to stay conscious enough while I build my next door. Together with my daughter Destiny and the mother of my children, Liza Morales, I am going to use this opportunity to connect to my children and break the cycle of my past. All three of us have been through extreme difficulties, individually and as a family, that we have not spoken about. I decided to have my team reach out to MicDrop, founded by Rosh Lowe, to help the 3 of us reconnect and heal. My story is far from uncommon but I have been blessed with a platform and a 2nd chance at life. The environment that I grew up in, did little to foster authentic communication. I know that I can do better; for myself, for my children and for the world. We all owe it to ourselves, to our children and to our families to do the same. #breakthecycle #bereal #whyishare
