Behold! the New Nigerian Foreign Minister...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQK5h22_Y5A

Without taking anything away from Chief Ojo Maduekwe, I think this Indian Dude is doing a far better job of projecting Nigeria's Image positively...I can't but agree with you, my Indian friend...Thank you for standing up for us...

ME, MY DESERT & I

I had gone to the the Library as it was my usual practice back then in 2005 when I was outta school for a while.
After going through the back cover, I became interested enough to read through the book.
Over time, I have learnt that The Great men in history always, have had to do something that was extra-ordinary.
Isaac Jibunoh is one of such men.

Isaac's soul was along the line yearning to be great...to do something different...

He gave a good account of his journey therein...cant remember most of the details right now...but I do remember that he said his car was impounded at an entry point into Nigeria. He came across to the immigration men as a weird one. Instead of being carried shoulder-high as soon as He was sighted, He was being asked series of questions and made to go to Lagos to obtain clearance before he was allowed to drive his car into Nigeria...(I can't remember the details, go read the book)...

Isaac mentioned in his book that his wife was apprehensive of the fact that the Desert was silently calling to him once again...He finally heeded the call and he documented his experiences alongside the account of his first journey...

I got the impression that sir Isaac was done with Desert Exploration but then I read a couple of days ago that the Desert call was too strong to ignore for the Great one again...

I wish him success in his endeavor to make something out of something that is seemingly worthless...

...rather a Blast!

A few days to the commencement of the Spring semester, I told a friend that I would like to serve out my tenure this semester as the President of the Nigerian Students Association with a Bang! ..lol...recent events have underscored that statement! It seems that I'm going to get more than what I initially bargained for...I'm serving out my tenure with a Blast!
A lot has been happening in my school and I'm at the centre of it...More on that later...
