Did Microsoft Bribe 90 Bloggers?

May I say Happy New Year to everyone online.
I am very glad and grateful to the Almighty God for seeing us through to the New year. Our Almighty God Jehovah is ever faithful and merciful.
May this year favour us more than all the previous years. Amen and amen.

Andy Wibbels has a special New Year Present for all bloggers and his Season Pass is highly recommended and very profitable.

I just read online that Microsoft gave out Vista Laptops to 90 bloggers hand-picked for their better coverage of tech news than even the mainstream media.

Is this not bribe?

Microsoft has refuted the allegations and said it was not bribe, but a Christmas present to selected bloggers around the world. Well, Microsoft is yet to give me my own brand new Vista Laptop.

N.B:
Don't forget to collect your Season Pass.

Is America Ready For Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama?

Here is my latest classic political article, Is America Ready For Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama? and it is a must read.

Who Will Be The Next President of Nigeria?

From all the news reports on the emerging Presidential candidates in Nigeria, the battle is going to be an all northern political leaders affair as the former military head of state, retired General Muhammad Buhari has been nominated as the flag bearer of the main opposition party, the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP) and thus poised to challenge Alhaji Umaru Yar' Adua of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). But, the most formidable Presidential aspirants would be the Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the former military head of state, retired General Ibrahim Babangida.

Professor Pat Utomi the presidential flag bearer of the new African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the ex-pop star Rev. Chris Okotie of the Fresh Democratic Party (FDP) are the new breed political leaders of the future and they don't stand any chance contesting against the political juggernauts who are well known to the majority of the Nigerian electorate.

It is unfortunate that the political leadership of Nigeria is returning to the North. Because, the past leaders from the North have only plundered Nigeria and squandered our national revenue. In fact, Onyeka Onwenu aptly documented the profligacy in A Squandering of Riches for the BBC in 1984.And the northern military heads of state only worsened the political administration of Nigeria as their corruption ruined the country.

The chicken-hearted Presidential aspirants from the South-South who surrendered to the Northern leaders have only shown us that the South-South cannot overcome the political power brokers in the leadership of Nigeria. But, for how long will the South-South continue to kiss the feet of the political oppressors in Nigeria?

As the Vice President Atiku Abubakar escapes from the criminal charges leveled against him by the government of President Olusegun Obasanjo, he is now more convinced of his legitimacy to contest for the post that Obasanjo will vacate in May 2007. And to buoy the ambition of Atiku, the Action Congress (AC) party has adopted him as their Presidential flag bearer with the support of nine other political parties in alliance. So, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has become the most popular choice of the majority of the political parties in Nigeria. Atiku Abubakar also enjoys goodwill from millions of Nigerians across the country and that is what the other Presidential candidates cannot boast of.

Beasts of No Nation: From Fela To Uzodinma

Did the title of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's Afrobeat song "Beasts of No Nation" inspire Uzodinma Iweala to give his first novel the same title?

Uzodinma Iweala

The beasts of no nation or vagabonds in power as Fela called them are still in power in Nigeria. And it is a great pity that majority of Nigerians have forgotten that the present head of state, President Olusegun Obasanjo was the same head of state who sent his zombies in uniform to attack Fela Anikulapo-kuti and threw his old mother over the balcony and assaulted the wives and dancers of Fela in the military invasion of Kalakuta Republic in 1978.



President Olusegun Obasanjo has not repented. Because he has invaded other places from the Middle Belt to the Niger Delta region of Nigeria since he returned to power in 1999 and left them in sorrows and tears. And what President Obasanjo did in Odi is not different from what the late Gen.Sani Abacha did in Ogoni land.



The beasts of no nation have been feasting on the masses of Nigeria. And the time has come to get rid of them before it is too late.
