Inspiring: Hushpuppi Write a Letter to the Ghetto Kid, Blast the Government

• A landlord chased me and family out a rented room
• The Government don't care about your future

Hushpuppi

For the first time, the Gucci ambassador, Nigerian-Malaysia big boy, Hushpuppi reveal who he really his and a bit of his life story in Lagos as a ghetto boy, though he is yet to tell us what else he does for living except being a professional beggar...lols. Hushpuppi's story is so touching and inspiring, it gives hope to the hopeless, life to the lifeless and specifically targeted at Nigerian youths termed 'The Ghetto Kid'. Enjoy, reminisce and take bold steps.

"Letter to the Ghetto Kid:

As a man that I am today who developed from being one of you guys, who went through the same struggles you are presently going through, who had to run and jump hurdles where other kids just walk past the same situation in a better environment with better resources and much provisions, I know the society do not expect you to make it, the government don't care about your future, they toy and joke around making rules and laws that only affect you and benefit the rich. You lack everything it requires to become who you might have loved to be, do the things you would have loved to do or to live the life you may have seen on TV or the internet, which I know you even have limited access to because there's never power supply for such, which means you are deprived most of the things that can be learnt through TV and internet in the first place which makes your dreams smaller, quicker to fade away but I want you to know that darkness you are, without the dark, the stars won't shine and so you can shine out if that darkness.
 

You have been deprived so many right a child deserves and the world look down on you because you are nothing but a clot of blood miraculously turned a baby, and an unfortunate one at that. Good health, good foods or good education hasn't been in any way your chance to have. Looking at you disgusts not your brethren only but even strangers are not so impressed for your unhealthy appearance. Your strength; courage; and dreams are nothing but hallucination just because you were not supposed to dream big.
 

I am sure nobody ever believed in whatever you say or do. You have been victimized by neighbors; friends; and even family members who were supposed to give you hope. This is my story, this is me and this is the Hushpuppi you have been hearing about. The Ghetto kid in me is at its peak and ready to explode and spread around the globe. I am you and you are me. I represent every under-privilege kid of the world and especially of Nigeria and of Lagos and of Bariga and of Oworonsoki -- Where a landlord had chased me and my family out of a rented room. I'll never forget the look on my mother's face."

Is Police Truly your Friend? Read Mr Eso's Experience

IS POLICE TRULY YOUR FRIEND?
-NO, THE POLICE IS NOT OUR FRIEND...
-YES, THE POLICE IS OUR FRIEND...

A true life experience in the last 24 hours.

My phone rang at 3:15pm yesterday Saturday August 19, 2017 and it was the Pastor of our church Pastor Tope Akimbola calling me sounding down (I knew there was trouble) that one of the member of our church, RCCG Glory Worship Center, was locked up at Ifako Police station on the charges that she found a child and the long story was while Sister Happiness was going to work on July 20, 2017 she found a child wandering by the canal in Ifako who was apparently lost and could not find her way.

The child is about 4 years old and as a good Samaritan she brought the child to church. The members and the Pastor was informed and the child was taken to Alakara Police station .It is interesting to note that Alakara Police station has facility for children and juvenile correction center. Our church members including sister Happiness wrote statements.

Our church in the past has always supported Alakara Police station and once they heard the name of the church they were very helpful.

Later on like about two weeks, Sister Happiness in the same Ifako residence heard that a child was missing and told the neighbors that she found a child two weeks ago and they should check Alakara Police station.

Long story cut short, the police arrested Sister Happiness yesterday that she must know about the missing child and that she was involved and why did she not come to Ifako  police station in the first place. She was immediately  locked up at the cell of Ifako Police station since yesterday morning. Now, why will citizens want to help their neighbors or the Police.

This morning our Pastor grabbed me at 7:45am in company of his Assistant Pastor Bayo Ajayi and we started working up our phones. Eventually I got to speak with the DPO of Ifako Police station. That was the drama of my life. He said why did she go to Alakara Police station and not Ifako Police station? I explained to him that not everyone has education to know that the nearest police station was were to report a matter and that he will be shocked that people are scared of police and pure ignorance.

He even went micro by telling me that Sister Happiness should have shouted that.....the people around can intervene. I was disturbed that SP Smith, a senior officer in the police force can think like this. I appealed for at least 45 minutes on the phone and I even offered to see him immediately he said he is not at work and she will be charged to court on Monday and that was his final position.

At this point I started racking my brain on who can help intervene in this simple matter? I tried getting the phone no of Mr Fatai Owoseni the Lagos State Commissioner of Police but no luck. I finally got an old friend who I had to wake up Assistant Commissioner Of Police , Kola Okunlola .Thanks to technology I had to do a three way call .

I finally connected my ACP friend with DPO Ifako .Now my worry must we know someone to get things going in Nigeria???????
So we started the conversation and I was shocked of the spice added by the DPO. He had full facts of the story. The ACP asked him five salient questions
1. Was he aware that Sister Happiness reported the matter to Alakara Police station he answered in affirmative
2. Did Sister Happiness take the child away or reported same day? He said same day
3. Do you know that this will discourage good people to help others in the future .......He agreed
4. What did he do to the parents that were careless by not taking care of their child? He said he arrested and released them immediately.
5. On the board at the police station where you state the person in the cell and the offence what did you state as the offence of Sister Happiness? He said Misconduct
At this point I just gave up and said under my breath that police is not just our friend
The ACP adviced him to release Sister Happiness and get a reliable surety that will produce her anytime that she is required for investigation. That charging her was a waste of government resources.

Now the DPO Ifako has requested that we all report at 8am tomorrow
My question and worry ......what is misconduct for a good Samaritan that saved the life of a vulnerable child? The child was not kidnapped nor kept away.

I am appealing to anyone that has contact with the Lagos Police Commissioner to help circulate this ....
I hope we will not discourage other good Samaritans being their  brothers keeper.

President Buhari's Full Speech on His Return from London.

My dear citizens,

I am very grateful to God and to all Nigerians for their prayers. I am pleased to be back on home soil among my brothers and sisters. In the course of my stay in the United Kingdom, I have been kept in daily touch with events at home. Nigerians are robust and lively in discussing their affairs, but I was distressed to notice that some of the comments, especially on social media, have crossed our national red lines by daring to question our collective existence as a nation. This is a step too far.

In 2003 after I joined partisan politics, the late Chief Emeka Ojukwu came and stayed as my guest in my hometown Daura. Over two days we discussed in great depth till late into the night and analyzed the problems of Nigeria. We both came to the conclusion that the country must remain one and united. Nigeria's unity is settled and not negotiable. We shall not allow irresponsible elements to start trouble, and when things get bad they run away and saddle others with the responsibility of bringing back order, if necessary with their blood.

Every Nigerian has the right to live and pursue his business anywhere in Nigeria without let or hindrance. I believe the very vast majority of Nigerians share this view. 

This is not to deny that there are legitimate concerns. Every group has a grievance. But the beauty and attraction of a federation is that it allows different groups to air their grievances and work out a mode of co-existence.

The National Assembly and the National Council of State are the legitimate and appropriate bodies for national discourse. The national consensus is that, it is better to live together than to live apart.

Furthermore, I am charging the Security Agencies not to let the successes achieved in the last 18 months be a sign to relax. Terrorists and criminals must be fought and destroyed relentlessly so that the majority of us can live in peace and safety.

Therefore we are going to reinforce and reinvigorate the fight not only against; elements of Boko Haram which are attempting a new series of attacks on soft targets; kidnappings; farmers versus herdsmen clashes; in addition to ethnic violence fuelled by political mischief makers. We shall tackle them all.

Finally, dear Nigerians, our collective interest now is to eschew petty differences and come together to face common challenges of economic security, political evolution and integration, as well as lasting peace among all Nigerians.

I remain resolutely committed to ensuring that these goals are achieved and maintained. I am so glad to be home.

Usain Bolt Injured in Last Career Race in London

Bolt Stumbles in London

The world most decorated short distance athlete, Usain Bolt sprained his ankle, stumbled in IAAF World Championship 2017 in London.

The fastest man on earth felt a sharp pain on his ankle, struggled a bit before dramatically falling to the ground while trying to redeem his team, which is in the position of winning a bronze medal to possibly overrun the ambitious America and Britain's last runners to a gold medal.

Bolt who had earlier lost his gold medal chance in 100m to settle for bronze and lost another chance of bagging any medal in the 200m, stumbled on his way to finish in a medal position in 4x100m Relay.

The Jamaican lost his 100m gold medal to American Justin Gaitlin. He forfeited his 200m gold to Guliyev, a Turkish and fail to reach the end line as the final lap sprinter in the 4x100m relay to the highly motivated Great Britain & Northern Island team while the Americans clinched the silver medal. 

His team mate and first leg runner, Yohan Blake, faults the organizers for their failure in London for delay. "Bolt was cold" he added. 

 The unparalleled 3-in-3 star, however, ended up without any gold medal in London 2017. What a surprise!

Whereas, the former World and Olympic champion had announced his plan to retire after this competition hopefully on a high note but unfortunately it is not to be.

"Will he stand on his words or stage a return?" is the question in everyone's mind. How the mighty falling.

JAMB 2017--See How to Calculate Your Points for Admission

It is no more a news that admission seekers' spirits are high over admission process after JAMB 2017. Parents and applicants are anxious to know what comes next after successfully passing JAMB that would facilitate their children admission into various institution of learning in Nigeria.

Here is a vital information that would guide your thought and possibly your next line of action.

This information is very essential for all those who sat for this year 2017 JAMB exam.

 OFFICIAL JAMB GRADING SYSTEM FOR 2017/2018
 ADMISSION…. FROM OUR SOURCE
 JAMB SCORE GRADE POINTS
 180 – 185 ——–20 points
 186 – 190——–21points
 191 -195———22points
 196 – 200——–23points
 201 – 205——–24points
 206 – 210——–25 points
 211 – 215——–26 points
 216 -220———27 points
 221 -225——–28 points
 226 -230———-29 points
 231 -235———-30 points
 236 – 240——–31 points
 241 – 245 ———32 points
 246 -250———-33 points
 251 -300—- (34- 43points)
 300 -400——-(44 – 60 points)

WAEC / NECO O’LEVEL GRADE POINTS
 1. Single sitting— 10 points
 2. Combined Results–2 points
 A1—————–6 points
 B2 and B3———4 points
 C4 – C6———–3 points

For example
 Yakubu Kehinde Obinna scored 242 in UTME = 32 points
 He applies for Electrical Engineering
 He presents only one WAEC result=10 points
 He has 1A, 2B and 2C in the necessary subjects.
 1 A: 1 x 6 = 6points
 2 B: 2 x 4 = 8points
 2 C: 2 x 3 = 6points
 His total points = 32+10+6+8+6 =62 points
 He will now await the school to release the cut off point for
 his course.

 Now, if the point requirements for the department he is applying to, let us say in  Unilorin, is 56 for instance, he is eligible for admission but it does not means that he  has been admitted automatically, he still needs to wait for the school to possibly  offer him admission.
