DON JAZZY TRULY A DON WHO DESERVES OUR ACCOLADES

Don Jazzy

The 10 (3.5kva) Generators

The laptop 

In the last one week the head honcho at Mavin Records, the one and only and in fact the incredible Don Jazzy has been extending his good fortune, the hands of Grace, the way of many Nigerians.

We came across his kind gesture to fans and have thought that this is the kind of very important thing that needs to be made loud, so others in far more better positions can see what it is like to contribute to the betterment of others around them, not necessarily those you know from anywhere at all.

And from what we heard, being his brothers keeper is a normal thing that he is used to doing. Such good deeds are like a cup of tea to him that he does very often without batting an eye. So this time around he had asked that those who needed something to help with what they do should send in a picture of the particular things in #with50k and those who knew that when the Don ask for such a thing, he doesn't joke around and wants to pour down the rain, heeded his call quickly.

And just like that computer, camera and (generators 3.5 litre) at least 10 of such generators exchanged hands. Not less than 20 people were part of the enviable largesse!

This is undeniable how to be wealthy. Not stockpiling unnecessary cars around to show off and to intimidate and harass people and then not helping souls around you. 

FINALLY SEEMS LIKE MINISTERIAL LIST IS READY. NOT MUCH CHANGES NOTICED AS MANY OLD HANDS ARE RETAINED

Finally, after what had seemed like forever. The list of those who should help Mr. President to prosecute his agenda for this new administration is out. And it contains the names of many of those who were prominent in the last 4years of the administration.

It's like the President has thought that, if it isn't broken, why fix it then? At least not less than 7 of the old or former ministers have been nominated again for another stint. Curiously, a major name missing amongst the old returnees is that of the highly cerebral Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, who was the last minister of state for Petroleum. Super ministers returning are Babatunde Raji Fashola, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, Abubakar Malami & Lai Mohammed, they all made it back just like Hadi Sirika, Chris Ngige & Ogbonnaya Onu.

Apart from these returnees, some past Governors again were nominated likes of Rauf Aregbesola, Timipre Sylva, Godswill Akpabio, George Akume, Adeniyi Adebayo. A name that many had thought would feature prominenly but didn't, is that of the recent former Governor of Lagos State, in the person of Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode. Many had speculated that there was no way he would miss from the list, but alas he isn't on this one.

Out of those nominated, 7 of them are women-Sharon Ikpeazu, Maryam Katagun, Zainab Ahamed Mohammed , Rahmatu Tijjani, Gbemisola Saraki, the immediate younger sibling of the former Senate President, Pauline Tallen 60, a former minister years back & Sadiya Umar Farouk.

Also on the list is the presidential spokesperson person Festus Keyamo and supremely loyal party man to the core and former speaker of the Lagos State House of assembly -Senator Adeleke Olorunnibe Mamora.

THIS NIGERIA-RWANDA GROWING FRIENDSHIP, MAY IT NOT TURN SOUR SOON. WE HOPE IT WOULDN'T BECOME ANOTHER XENOPHOBIA!

Jude Idada

The title above was not what the author of the story whose picture is above gave it. Like he said to us, he doesn't necessarily give titles to his Facebook stories. We have just thought to caption it as we deem ok. Maybe the way the below scenario started, is what has now triggered the nonsense called Xenophobia in South Africa.

So the quicker we do things about it to curb our excesses, the best for all at the end. It is also so that the Rwandans who love us now for our help(s), wouldn't later turn against us soon, due to our corrupting influence.

Read on please.

They stop them from traveling.

To Nigeria.

These Rwandese girls.

Young.

Ravishingly beautiful.

And innocent looking.

Hordes of them staring wide eyed at the airport.

As the immigration officers turn them back.

At the lounge where I sat after seeing them.

One of my fellow travellers.

A Rwandese.

Middle aged.

Male.

Himself headed to Lagos.

Said with a grin as I discussed it with him.

"... you know yourselves. They are just protecting the girls from being introduced to high class prostitution. Rich Nigerians come here, meet these girls, go back home, call them and tell them to get their female friends who are interested in coming to Nigeria. Then they send them tickets. When they arrive in Nigeria they take them to parties, have sex with them and even get their friends to have sex with them. At the end of their week or less stay they give each one at least USD2,500 and send them back. That is 2.2million Rwandan Francs. For you to understand how much that money is in Rwanda, you have to think in this manner; a cleaner earns around 20,000 Rwandan francs a month if working in a residence and 50,000 Rwandan Francs a month if in a commercial office, a cook earns a little above 50,000 Rwandan Francs a month, a security guard around 50,000 Rwandan francs, an entry level university graduate at a bank or even telecoms like MTN earns between 300,000 to 600,000 Rwandan francs a month depending on their department and there you have these young girls earning 2.2 million Rwandan Francs for a weeks work that is packaged as fun."

More after the break.
