Okorocha is Right.

 Okorocha is Right. Dear Nigerians, Imo governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha has done nothing new to appoint a commissioner for happiness. I have been reading the recent developments in Imo state where Owelle Rochas Okorocha appointed his younger sister as " commissioner for happiness and couples fulfillment. " I immediately burst out laughing. Imo state must be going through the worst time to necessitate this thinking after all, people create solutions to problems or in anticipation of them. But soon afterwards, I recollected that I had read about Sheikh Maktoum's appointment of a similar minister in Dubai. This prompted me to do a quick study on the concept of ministries of happiness. Bhutan created a concept known as Gross National Happiness (GNH) in 1979 as they rejected Gross Domestic Progress (GDP) as the only way to measure progress. Venezuela also created a ministry of Supreme Social Happiness in 2013. There is a World Happiness Report , it measures the happiness

Retire These Bunch

Retire These Bunch   If it doesn't disturb you that we have consciously allowed the same few people to control policy since 1960, then please wake up. If you think they are from one ethnic group or religion, you also need to repent from racism/bigotry. They are just a few men, about 80 of them from various ethnic groups and religious divide known as the Lannisters of Aso Rock. 80 people determining the future of 180 million since 1960. This is unacceptable. Musicians, Artists, Sportsmen, Entertainers usually dominate for no more than 15 years before bowing out or handing over to the next generation except the really fantastic ones. The Lannisters of Aso Rock are neither fantastic nor exceptional. They talk more than Tyrion without his wit, havng the loyalty of Peter Baelish, the cruelty of Ramsay Bolton and the wickedness of Cersei Lannister. They take turns to accuse "corruption" while they are the usurpers of our rights and profiteers of the system they cr

Keep Scoring!

 Keep Scoring! Association Football is over 160 years old. In all that time only one (1) goal keeper has ever been offside! It appears goal keepers are being marginalized. Nope it is because they are consigned to guarding goal. Răducanu Necula the only one who got offside. However he managed to score 7 goals during his career.   Also, only one goal keeper has won the Golden Ball award at a World Cup. Oliver Khan in 2002. Oliver Kahn also earned himself a red card for scoring with his hand, I don't want to tell you   when this happened. Goalkeepers are so loved by their fathers hence their jersey of "many colours". Actually goal keepers wear a different jersey because they can hold the ball in the goal area. One goalkeeper has scored more free kicks and penalty goals than all the strikers playing in the Premier League or Serie A today. Rogerio Ceni scored 61 free kicks and 69 penalties (130). That guy is more dangerous than Diego Costa and Ibrahimovic.
