Malia Obama,Barack Obama's first daughter turned 14 years on the 4th of July.What a coincidence that she was born on the day marking American independence from the British .
Well a happy birthday to her .I remember when i was 14,i was in secondary school then dodging and hiding from senior students.
As the first daughter of the President of the most powerful country in the world,what will she wish to have a birthday gift?How does she intend to spend the day.Considering her status she can not have an ordinary day

Vacant Outdoor advertising spaces around Lagos
Really curious about the fact that most of the Outdoor advertising spaces in lagos are now blank with no adverts.What could be the cause,is the price of putting adverts on them getting too high,could it be that companies are cutting down on their advertising budget.The one pictured above has been vacant since mid may.Could it be bureaucratic bottle neck on the part of Lagos state signage and advertisement agency (LASAA ) the Lagos state government agency that regulates that sector
This one above at Falomo roundabout Ikoyi has had no advert since June

Michael Jackson! 3 years after
Today marks 3 years that the King of pop passed on.Still miss him so much.Michael Adieu you will forever live in our hearts.My top five Michael Jackson songs:
1.Beat it
2.Thriller
3.Bad
4.Smooth Criminal
5.The way you make me feel
These songs anytime am listening to them ,always gets my head nodding.
I can remember very well,after Thriller was released and i watched it as a kid,i watched it for the first time i really enjoyed it,that was in the afternoon,but the next time it was played in the evening,i ran as far away as my legs could carry me.I was terrified.My elder ones had to run after me to bring me back

Mainland to Island commuters Brace up
For daily commuters from Lagos mainland to Victoria island, Ikoyi, Lekki and Ajah and vice versa, come 1st of July commuting between both locations will become very horrible.
Reason? The picture above says all.
On a normal day a typical journey from, let’s say Gbagada on the mainland to the centre of Victoria Island takes approximately 30 minutes assuming the person left at around 6.00am.
For this same distance for someone leaving at around 6.30 am the journey could take 1hr,
for someone leaving by 7.am the journey will take approx 1hr 30 min
Once the repair works commence this same journey will take not less than 1hr 30 mins and this is a conservative estimate.
For anyone coming from Isolo/Oshodi axis on a normal day departing from 6.00am ,it takes approx 45minutes,departing by 6.30 am, takes approx 1hr

Adidas new sneakers with Shackles
Wow this new design of Adidas sneakers is really raising a storm.It has got a whole lot of people boiling with rage.
And its mostly African-Americans.Some feel that the shoes promote racism because shackles are a symbol of slavery
This shoe which has a plastic orange shackle that attaches to the ankle,they feel has a close resemblance to slave shoes
According to Rev. Jesse Jackson 'The only things we chain in this society are slaves, prisoners and beasts.'
I wont lie,i like the shoes,but they have a right to express their disgust with the design

Children blindfolded,bound found in Parents SUV
What can be worse than this.Parenting at its lowest level.What will the parents of these kids give as an excuse when questioned.
Police found a 5-year-old boy Wednesday sitting beside a large SUV with his hands tied and a blindfold over his eyes. A bound and blindfolded 7-year-old girl was inside the vehicle, along with three other children, ages 12, 13 and 15. All are in protective custody.
Lawrence police spokesman Trent McKinley says the presumed parents of the children have been arrested on suspicion of child abuse and endangerment and will appear in court Thursday.
Police say two children from suburban Chicago who were found bound and blindfolded outside a Kansas Walmart are in temporary protective custody.
The family, from Northlake, Ill., was heading to Arizona when the vehicle broke down Monday in Lawrence.
Does it mean the vehicle broke down and the parents went to get a mechanic? SMH
McKinley says officers are working with Illinois social services to determine where to send the children.

Dolphin Estate Park
Well this new concept by Lagos state government of turning areas around most of the bridges in Lagos into parks is really cool,at least Lagos is looking more beautiful.Also its a really cool place to have family outing,children can play and enjoy themselves,while parents relax.
Although this concept is cool,but the location is kind of a problem.This is close to Dolphin estate Ikoyi
Imagine this beautiful park has no car park,so if people want to come and relax where can they park their cars?Also issues of security has to be addressed,the park pictured is close to adeniji adele axis which is notorious for harbouring Area boys /Agberos.
Very curious to know what the government has in mind.Continue for more pictures

In Iran women not allowed to watch Euro 2012
Wow ! ! women in Iran have been banned from watching the Euro 2012 live.Sounds strange considering the fact that men are the ones that are football fanatics,most women that do watch do so because their hubby/partner loves the game
Talk of cultural differences

Breast feeding with Uniforms
Please what is wrong with breast feeding and wearing your uniform while doing so.
Well apparently the 2 moms pictured above who were part of a breast feeding awarenes campaign by a group called the mom2mom which are of the Fairchild Airforc Base,a support group launched in January by Crystal Scott, a military spouse and mother of three.
Now they are being criticised for putting on uniforms while breast feeding .For me i do not see anything wrong with this.
New Disease like aids ! ! !
Are these people for real? Just when we were thinking that aids cure is around the corner now this.
Please they better not be serious,Africa and the world has enough problems already
According to a medical journal a tropical disease called Chagas that is spread by insects has infected more than 8 million people and most of them are in Latin and Central America
The Journal, published by the Public Library of Science's Neglected Tropical Diseases, said the spread of the disease is reminiscent of the early years of HIV

The location of the Bill board is at that point the Bridge branches towards Yaba,if you are coming from Oworonshoki side of the Bridge.
I wonder how much it will cost to advertise on the board?

Dont miss BBA 7 Star game opening show
The African version of the Big Brother reality TV show is back.This time around its called Big Brother Star game.It is starting at 18.00 hrs GMT ,that is 7.00 pm Nigerian time on the 6th of May 2012
This is the 7th in the series,the last edition was called Big Brother Amplified which was won by Nigerian Karen Igho and Wendall Parson of Zimbabwe.
To be able to watch the programme in Nigeria,SMS "Yes" then followed by the first ten digits of your smart card number to 30333.You can also call DSTV on +234 -12703232 or visit any of their offices close to you to tell them to activate your account to be able to watch it.
After you do all this tune to channel 198 on DSTV and ensure you have a message like in the picture above.
Last year i missed the grand opening of season 6 because after doing all the above,when i tuned to channel 198,i got the error message "You are not enabled to view this channel"i wrongly assumed the channel will become available ones the show starts
But alas after the show started,it was still not showing on my TV,tried calling DSTV,their number was not reachable,am sure then a lot of people were trying to reach them too
So if you do not have this message now follow the steps above or you might likely miss the grand opening

Strange Baby Delivery
Wow it was reported that a woman delivered a monster like Baby somewhere in Benue state.
The woman a mother of Nine delivered a monkey like Baby at Saint Theresa's Hospital in Oturkpo
My own take is that medical experts should be called in to Evaluate the situation,they are already calling the baby a monster,its a pity.

Wow ! ! ! 9 A1's its been a long time i heard such,is it me that has not been current or it has not been happening ?
With the current state of the Nigerian educational system.Thumbs up to the young lady,hope she gets a scholarship
She is 17 year old Tolulope Falokun of Saint Loius secondary school,Ondo town , in Ondo state
I hope the governemt sees this as an oppurtunity to make a difference in this girls life by giving her scholarship to the highest level of education.Even big companies as well.This is what the Nigerian youths need urgently to motivate them to work harder in their studies

Rapper Endorses Obama with style
See K'naan oo,The singer who sang the hit song "Wavin Flag" has indirectly endorsed Obama.
He claims his hit song was used by Mit Romney during the Florida victory speech without his permission
Here is how Associated press put it:
In a statement Wednesday, K'naan says Romney's campaign did not seek approval to use the song and that he would not have granted permission if it had.
Then here is the punch:
The Somali-born, Canadian-based rapper says he would happily grant President Barack Obama's campaign the use of the song.
LOL

Doomed Italian Liner
The last has not been heard of the doomed Italian Liner.Imagine the Captain of the ship confirmed he was pressurised to move close to the rocks which eventualy broke the ship.

This is according to the italian La Repubblica

"Fabri ... anyone else in my place wouldn't have been so nice as to go there because they were breaking my balls, saying go there, go there," Schettino says in the conversation, taped while he was being held following his arrest over the incident.
"...the rock was there but it didn't show up in the instruments I had and I went there ... to satisfy the manager, go there, go there,"
This is according to the italian La Repubblica
