Tips or Bribe

Its been a while I know. *covers face*

Work has been so busy and I barely have the chance to get on my PC let alone blog.

Anyway straight to the matter at hand.

Tips and Bribe. 

What do you think? I think they are two different things but errm someone thinks they are the same but media paints it differently. 

Where I came from Bribe is when you pay someone to do what they SHOULD usually do. Or better still to do what they are paid to do but because they are slackers and want to extort money from you, they ask for it. 

Tips on the other hand is when you get an impressive service and you just give something to say thank you. 

What do you think?

Some people are taking tips to the extreme though. 

Tips are not meant to be asked for! Apparently some restaurant staff rely on tips. Common guys, there is something called "salary".

You all get paid and you shouldn't harass people for tips. I heard on the radio the other day that, some restaurant staff in the states actually ran after a customer asking for tips. Needless to say, he didn't get it. 

Its kinda annoying really. 

I would give a tip when I get a good service, not cos you ask for it or expect it.

As for bribes, I dunno o. People give bribes everywhere to get round.  Its in the news so much in African countries but I can tell you it happens all over the world. 

Would you give tips when you get good services? Anywhere i.e hotels, restaurants, airports, bars etc.

Would you bribe someone to get something done? When they are already getting paid to do that thing. 

Lets hear your views. 

Bed time :) 

See you all later 

David Cameron- British New Prime Minister

I said new because the Conservative party won the UK elections 2015.

                 

This time they did it alone. I mean David Cameron will be prime minister all by himself, no coalition with any other party.

Good on them. I can't help but wonder where the voters came from though. #justsaying

Was listening to the radio this morning  and only one person phoned and was excited about the win.

Makes me wonder  who and who voted? A million dollar question. Lets not go into that.

Some people are saying Cameron's visit to Festival of life worked? Oh Jonathan did the same now? And didn't win, so pleeeeeease, spare me that.
Common guys, If you see the kinda text messages going round in the African community, you won't even think that way. They were listing everything he did wrong and saying clearly DO NOT VOTE for the Conservatives.


Oh well, I am waiting patiently to see how he will perform. To the working class, the disable,  the NHS and a lot more, only time will tell.

Scottish Nation Party though, I mean they cleared the whole of Scotland. I mean 56 seats out of 59 seats, neat win for the SNPs. Nicola Sturgeon is mega pleased.

I am just very surprised. Were they not the ones that voted against Referendum late last year. As in the majority voted to stay in the United Kingdom, not be on their own like the Republic of Ireland.....You get?

Now I am confused. What has changed?

Is this ever going to be United Kingdom again?

Once again, only time will tell.

Women - Having Cesarean Section means You Didn't Give Birth?

Women get in here


Ok what is this nonsense I am hearing/reading?

Have you seen this picture around lately?>>>>>>>>>>>>

 "Disciples of the New Dawn"  (a supposed christian religious group) are saying that if you didn't have your baby the natural way (Vaginal birth) you didn't really give birth.

Choooooo, say what?

Ok, I am not surprised! They are led by a man, father Patrick Embry, only a man can come come up with something like this.
Oh I'm sorry, let me  not generalize, some men are sensible enough to know better.

 He is suppose to be a Rev father right? What does he even know about child birth.

Some people have no clue do they?

Their group must be really really sad and ignorant!

Do you know what it takes to carry a pregnancy and loose it at the very end just because you want to "push".

Do you know how many babies and sometimes mothers that have lost their lives in the process?

Who wants a scar? But some women have no choice.
You people should do your research before coming out with stuffs like this.

Does medical reasons sound any good to you?

And for the people that chose to have it as an easy option, is it not their body? How is that anyone's business?

Abeg, make i no waste my anger on you sef.

Mumu people.


Ranting over

Pastor Adeboye Endorses David Cameron- UK prime Minister?

So David Cameron, British prime minister showed up at Festival of Life last night and everyone's going ga ga about it!  Saying things are really changing, Britain is getting better and all the likes of it

Are you guys being serious?

For the people not in the UK,  Festival of Life in the UK is  the equivalent of Holy Ghost Congress in Nigeria. It happens like 3/4 times a year. I'm not sure.

Every time it happens, it is always packed. I mean we are talking more than 45,000  RCCG members  from all over the UK meet at the 02 Arena for FOL, so basically the biggest gathering of Christians in the UK

UK elections are round the corner and the campaigns have started. So politicians will do anything to get votes.

So my fellow Nigerians/ Africans, David Cameron only came to "buga" you all.

Was it not this same man that attacked the sanctity of marriage? Was it not this man that saw to it that churches MUST now marry same sex couples? Even when his own party member said the civil partnership they had was good enough.

Oh for us Immigrants to the UK, please check the Conservatives immigration policies.  They will send all immigrants away any day any time, if given the chance to.

So before they send you all back home you berra wake up and vote wisely.

So it was not a privilege to have him, he was just passing by.

Oh guess where he went after FOL? The Sikh festival.

He learnt from Goodluck Jonathan na, remember he did the same when he was campaigning? And see where that landed us


Do not be deceived, he just came to  campaign  and get your votes.

Accountability in Churches

I have come again, you will have to bear with me while I rant.

Why can't Nigerian pastors be accountable to their members?

I don't mean for them to go into so much details and I also don't mean tell everyone that comes through the church doors how you make and spend money.

Personally I think if you are a regular church goer and you can say this is my church, and pay your tithe to that church, the church owes it to you to let you know how money is spent.

Its called being accountable to your members.

I used to go to a Pentecostal church and it was managed by "oyinbos". We don't even have a session for offering, yet they church makes money. People even pay tithes by direct debit every month.

You can't try that in a Nigerian church o, just because you don't trust the pastorate? Let me not generalize, maybe some people do it.

In my old church, every April, we got a statement on how much the church makes and how much we spend on what what and what. Most people don't bother reading it but the fact that it is there makes a lot of people chill out.

So my fellow  Nigerians, do you have annual meetings to talk about income and expenditures? Or  is it too much to ask from our leaders to be transparent.

Maybe not to everyone in church but surely to the members? or fellow ministers?

I remember when I was very young, there was something called AGM (Annual General Meeting) for church member, I obviously had no clue what it was but i knew it was full of numbers and all. So does it still happen?

Are you a committed member of any church? Does it bother you? Do you get told anything?

Oh well, ranting over, its bed time.

New week ahead

Happy days!

African Leaders Attitude To Terrorism

Seriously is it just me or our African leaders are clueless?

I am sure you are aware of what happened in Garissa Kenya recently. 147 university students were killed by the militant Islamic group Al Shabab. Guess what! The world moved on as if nothing had happened the very next day. I mean this incident is meant to be trending worldwide but media houses are barely saying anything about it.

 You remember Charlie Hebdo, it was in the news worldwide for WEEKS and people sent their condolences from everywhere around the world. Like that was not recent enough, the German plane crash recently nko? The whole world once again acknowledged it. Those people died through not fault of theirs.


 So please what happened to the Kenyan Students? Young African kids that are just trying to make something out of their lives and to have their lives cut short by some terrorist groups and no one even acknowledges something happened! Its just awful.

 Their president at least came out to address the country and deployed soldiers on the same day....... 

This reminds me of when the chibok girls were kidnappped, how long did it take our president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to come out to address the nation and calm the populace? More than 2 weeks.

So Kudos to President Kenyatta Of Kenya for not following in GEJ's footsteps. To the other African presidents who didn't come out openly to condemn and sympathize with Kenya, this is a BIG shame.

If the other Continents don't care about Africans, why can't we look after our own?  

What happened to being your brother's keeper?

I hear they want to do some summit about Boko Haram? About blooming time!
 It will be interesting to know what the outcome is.


#Justthinkingoutloud

GMB -- Change is here!

Oh well, you all probably know by now that APC won Nigeria's presidential elections.

The "Change" that everyone wants is here.

This election has been full of drama mehn!

I bet you had yours too. From not going to bed and watching ChannelsTV and TVC.

I was watching both "covers face" at the same time just so I don't miss anything.

I am pleased that the elections went well and the dedications of people, through the rain and sun..... Surely things can only get better for Nigeria.

I just hope and pray that the "Change" delivers. I know its not going to be overnight but come MAY 29 , we shall see.
It will be good though if the average Nigerian starts to think about changing themselves. Not just our leaders, CHANGE starts with us. Nothing is ever straight forward in Nigeria. You want something, you bribe your way round it. And when you ask questions, you just get told that is just how it is.
I ask so many questions and I just get told to let sleeping dogs lie. If we want real CHANGE, let it start with you. This amazing man of God sums it up very nicely in this video.
Please watch it for your own good.
