Una go soon Die for nothing - Charlie Boy

Tuesday, 2 May 2017


Arrogantly ignorant Nigerian youths, una cup don full. Why must fellow Nigerians remind me daily that the youths are irredeemable. Joor, It is high time una receive sense by force or else many of una go just die for nothing and the few wey go remain go chop sand sand. Our Mumu should be over. E don do. I gree say Na our elders and our yeye leaders put us for this roundabout.
But our Mumu should be over. Haba!!!!!!!
Sometimes, I dey wonder if the mumugiosity of Nigerian youths na curse. E dey really pain me when I see Nigerian youths dey suffer yet dem no wan fight for their lives.  I dey wonder how a very small margin wey no even reach 1% of the entire population of we country go pack the future of over 170million people keep inside Agbada and most of una just go dey look Uche face like zombie. To make an already complicated matter worse, youths, these days, believe that you can get something out of nothing, that you can reap where you did not sow, and that it doesn't matter if what you are doing is wrong, as long as you are making money from it, it is the right thing. Which kin Mumu thinking be dat?
Almost on a daily basis, some mumu youths of this country go call me to say dem wan join illuminati. Like say na illuminati be the work wey I dey do. One guy even call me one day and without any caution or restraint, he said he is ready to sell his soul to the devil. Shey dem tell am say na me be the devil ? Abi, Na so to get this money? I just dey pity most of you youths. I pity una because the same set of people who have been selling your lives to outsiders since independence are still in power making sure you are not seen or heard. They are neither tired nor bothered about your tribulations. They deliberately make sure that you do not get what you deserve, no enabling environment, no employment, dream killers, creating poverty all over the place. They wear a veil of holiness to cover their evil faces and pretend to be fighting for your interest. Mumu youths, una go still go ahead to celebrate them and vote for them because of 1000 Naira. Me, I know say some of una go chop sand sand if you remain for this mumu lane, I swear to God.
I know that some of you are not ready to come out of your mumugiosity. I know some of you will not even respond quickly to this call of nationalism, una own Na to talk nonsense on top internet. I also know that some of you will be unwilling to hold the rope of emancipation which is being thrown out to you. However, I must tell you the truth. The truth is that things will NEVER change except una decide to genuinely change it. Na since independence people don dey talk say Nigeria go better and now, e still never better. Shebi If I need my light on, I suppose fit get up from the chair and switch it on ? But in Nigeria, we believe praying can help us switch on the light, hence, we won't bother. Oh Lord, shame wan kill me here no remain. Because as long as una want to dey promote Miracles ahead of Hardwork Una go die for nothing.
Anyway sha, I still believe in the exceptional youths of Nigeria. I have met a few who are willing to reclaim their country from the hands of political criminals with insatiable desire to loot and plunder. Already, we have started seeing skirmishes in the northern part of the country because they are simply tired of sucking up to politicians who fail to keep their promises with the suffering people. Fact is, When the People are tired of political exploitation, A Nation is Reawakened. When Politicians continue in the path of Reckless Criminality, A Mob is encouraged. When frustration becomes the only mood in vogue in a nation, then, the people are left with nothing else but to defiantly fight for their future. You get to a Point where you say "DAMN THE CONSEQUENCES" and you Unleash the MOB in you to Fight for the Interest of all.
There will be no hope in sight and Nigerians will continue to Suffer times 3 if the youths Continue to Remain Docile, Indifferent, Intolerant to one Another and Religiously Hypnotized. When Citizens feel Cheated, Looted, Corrupted and Criminalized, They Fight to Change the Status quo not wait for Politicians. Therefore, Nigerians who are disillusioned and disenchanted with the failings of Government, Political Leadership, Religious and Moral Institutions, must as a matter of urgency, begin to organize themselves for sustained activism. They must begin to organise themselves to produce options come 2019, because over their dead bodies will it be business as usual. The battle against political criminality, religious and political slavery, must be fought with all our might. We already know that our common enemy are the politicians, and the ex military generals now in agbada playing chess with our lives. What is left is for everyone to get up on their feet and fight these criminals and legislooters. The time is ripe to begin to demand for good governance and accountability from our political representatives. You will never get the supply of good governance except you demand for it. And to effectively make this demand, we must all come together as one indivisible body of frustrated and vexed Nigerians who are genuinely concerned about changing the high handedness in governance and the unending spate of repression by political office holders.

It will be an honor to meet Kim Jong-un - Donald Trump says

Tuesday, 2 May 2017


Just a day after calling North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un a 'smart cookie', U.S president, Donald Trump has revealed he'll be honored to meet the Asian leader but under the 'right conditions' as tensions between the U.S and North Korea have reached an all time high.
The U.S has deployed it's Navy warships to the Korean peninsula while Trump also last week said he'll be sending another warship armed with Tomahawk missiles following North Korea's failure last week in a nuclear missile test, but Trump aware that a war could break out any moment between both countries says he's still open to a diplomatic solution.
"Under the right circumstances," Trump said Monday, in a Bloomberg interview.
"If it would be appropriate for me to meet with him, I would absolutely, I would be honored to do it,"  
"If it's under the, again, under the right circumstances. But I would do that."
The White House, responding to Trump's statements said even though Trump said he'll like to meet Kim under the 'right circumstances', those circumstances/conditions do not exist at the moment and Kim must end all his nuclear ambitions if he wants diplomacy with the U.S.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said  "those circumstances do not exist now." 'There would have to be significant change for a meeting between President Trump and Kim to be a possibility.
When a reporter questioned Spicer on why Trump would consider it an honor to meet with the North Korean leader, the press secretary said 
'Kim is still a head of state."
'Trump is doing everything diplomatically, economically and militarily to stave off the nuclear threat that North Korea poses to the United States.''
In an interview with CBS on Sunday, Trump said he had "no idea" whether Mr Kim was sane.
President Trump, asked what he made of the North Korean leader, told CBS: "People are saying: 'Is he sane?' I have no idea... but he was a young man of 26 or 27... when his father died. He's dealing with obviously very tough people, in particular the generals and others.
"And at a very young age, he was able to assume power. A lot of people, I'm sure, tried to take that power away, whether it was his uncle or anybody else. And he was able to do it. So obviously, he's a pretty smart cookie."

'I'm 28 not 41, I can beat Anthony Joshua with one hand behind my back'- Tyson Fury brags.

Tuesday, 2 May 2017

Dethroned due to use of cocaine, former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has claimed he'll defeat new WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony Joshua with one hand behind his back, after Joshua called him out for a possible fight following his sensational 11th-round win of Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday night in a packed up Wembley stadium.
Fury held the WBA, IBO, Lineal and Ring magazine heavyweight champion after  
after outboxing Wladimir Klitschko in Düsseldorf in November 2015 but was suspended from the sport last year after his blood samples tested positive for cocaine use.
Now, Ring magazine, has given Fury the power to hold on to the heavyweight division’s No 1 status belt if he has a fight scheduled within 29 days, and Fury, 28, has now claimed he wouldn't only defeat Joshua with one hand behind his back but he wouldn't need to do a warm up before fighting Joshua, 27.
Fury told Sky Sports: 'Styles do make fights but I am sure I can beat AJ with one arm tied behind my back.
'I don't even need a warm-up if he wants this, I have been out of the ring as long as Klitschko but the difference is, I am not 41, I am 28.
'AJ did really well to come back but I am not 41 or getting old. He is just a pumped-up weightlifter but [Klitschko] couldn't land one of those of those hooks on me, at all.
'It is a total clash of styles, a total clash of personalities, the complete opposites. I would just like to congratulate AJ for getting through the nip-and-tuck, life-and-death situation, against an old man, so well done.
'But let's face it, I am the man, the number one in the division.
'There can only ever be one heavyweight, especially in our part of the world, and it's me. It definitely isn't a pumped-up heavyweight, I can tell you that.'
He said:
'It was an excellent fight, very entertaining and enjoyable and I was screaming for AJ to smash him. 
'I wonder what people would be saying today if Klitschko had done him in the sixth. I was screaming, pulling my hair out - or what little hair I've got left - because I was worried it would cost us millions!
'He showed a lot in that fight. He showed he can get dropped and come back, which is what champions are made of. He showed he can recover from taking big shots.' 
'It is the only one the world wants to see and I am here, I am the lineal champion, I am still number one in the world and everybody knows that,' Fury added. 
The British Boxing Board of Control could return Fury's boxing licence at a hearing next week making a lucrative fight between Joshua and Fury a huge possibility.

Photos: 700 Indian brides given wooden bats as weapon to fight off abusive husbands

Tuesday, 2 May 2017


700 new brides in the Indian state of Madya Pradesh have been empowered to defend themselves against domestic violence by state minister Gopal Bhargava. At a mass wedding organised by the government, he gave the brides long wooden paddles to use as weapons in case their husbands turn abusive after taking alcohol.
The paddles are the first of 10000 which he plans to dole out to women. On each of the paddles is a message which reads: 'For beating drunkards' and 'Police won't intervene'.
Bhargava told the brides to reason with their husbands first, adding that they should 'let the wooden paddles do the talking' if their spouses refuse to listen.

Bhargava said he wanted to draw attention to the plight of rural women who face domestic abuse from their alcoholic husbands.
He said:
'Women say whenever their husbands get drunk they become violent. Their savings are taken away and splurged on liquor.
'There is no intent to provoke women or instigate them to violence but the bat is to prevent violence.'

Blue Ivy Carter's custom made Butterfly dress cost more than $9000

Tuesday, 2 May 2017


5-year-old Blue Ivy Carter wore a $9-plus Mischka Aoki customized Butterfly dress to the Wearable Art Gala last weekend. Mischka Aoki, a luxury children’s clothing brand, worked with Beyonce's team to create the custom made dress.


"One of Beyoncé’s stylists, Manuel Mendez, contacted us to create a custom-made dress for Blue for a special art gala, we were of course excited to work again with them,” a representative for the brand tells Yahoo Style.

They were instructed to “create a structured dress as walking art.” Handling it like the pros they are, the Mischka Aoki team turned right away to their "Her Royal Highness" dress which is from their spring/summer 2014 collection and can cost anywhere between $8,405 and $10,637.

This dress is a limited edition piece from Mischka Aoki’s exclusive Swarovski range. The fuchsia satin tulip minidress has a bejeweled neckline and an embellished skirt “drowning in exuberant flowers and thousands of Swarovski Crystals.”

And it definitely fits the “work of art” criteria; according to the website, it requires “hundreds of hours of painstaking handwork to complete."
