The return

WAO O O.
Its been such a long time to be away. I thought i would not come back. Its been one issue or the other and i kept postponing when i will start pouring out my thoughts on this blog. Anyway, a lot has happened, Barak Obama is the president of America, Africa is hosting the world cup, Samuel Peters has lost the world boxing titles over and over and Ajaokuta Steel Company has not paid their staff yet the ten months salary arrears. But you know what, life continues but for some it ended. Michael Jackson was one of those whose life ended suddenly at age 50.
Michael Jackson born August 29, 1958 to katherine and Joe Jackson was a trail blazer. He was a child of destiny. As a young boy he exhibited a raw talent that saw him become a great entertainer at age 5 and did not stop till death stopped him June 25, 2009. It was a shock to me. and the entire world. This was an artist that did what no other person can do by breaking down the 'colour curtain' as the Reverend Al Sharpton called it. His music brought blacks, whites, Asians and Latinos together.Unlike Ray Charles, a great and talented artist who had to fight throughout his life against discrimination, Michael used music to eradicate the barrier between whites and othe races. He actually dealt with racial discrimination but in his own way.
In the thriller album, Michael outdanced and outperformed the best and got the name the king of Pop. He became a legend. With fame and money, he became the target of the opportunists and greedy acquaintances who wanted a share of the fortune. He was sued for child molestation, abuse and even lookery ( looking at). He appeared severally in human and organised courts to answer questions on his relationship with kids. His friendship with them was questioned. Thank God that he had children of his own and even married twice if not the news would have been agog of his sterility and inability to be with women. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
The financial institutions in Nigeria are facing some hard times. I hope the global economic recession would not adversely affect our weak economy. The unemployment rate is very high as it is. If we cannot manage the economy then those on the street looking for employment would be more than those gainfully employed and that is disastrous.
The political situation in my country is really bad. This is a country where the constitution is only binding on those on the other side while the ruling party PDP does whatever it wants. They came with rule of Law but so far no law is being upheld.
