Happy Democracy Day Nigerians!!

Happy Democracy Day my fellow Nigerians. This day has always been memorable for us and moreso today (May 29,2015) because power changes hands on this day. (former) President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will hand over the affairs of Nigeria to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The President, Vice-president, State Governors and their Deputies have been sworn in. We all hope this era brings about the much needed positive change Nigeria deserves. It is not necessarily the dawn of a new era per se, more of a recycling in my opinion, most of the people being sworn in have previously held politically appointed posts, even President Muhammadu Buhari who was the Head of State of Nigeria in 1983 under the military regime.

We can only hope that their minds have been refined and renewed to take Nigeria and its citizens to a better place, viable, stable & progressive, instead of being clouded with greed, quest for power and corruption.

Nigeria has dodged many bullets in recent times and has still held strong and united, from Boko Haram attacks to the Ebola outbreak, Elections and most recently Fuel (Diesel, Petrol, Kerosene) Scarcity. I commend the former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for taking his loss in good faith. I imagine his party members, legislators and some of his friends and family will not have taken his decision well but if there was any one good patriotic thing he did for his country, it was not fighting his loss.

The newly sworn-in President Muhammadu Buhari has assured all Nigerians of his intent to keep the oath he has made. He has been quoted saying "I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody" during his inaugural speech, if he stays true to his words then we may be in for a good run afterall. 

We can only hope for the best as we play our individual roles in making our great country a better place.

New Laptop!!

I finally got a new laptop!! Actuallyyyyyy i got the new laptop almost 5 months ago. I had to get one 'cos my old one has been given me issues. First the battery went bad and i had to get a new one,then the powerpack got fried, then the disk space got full and it got really slow (my fault) and the final straw that broke my back was when the charging point broke and fell in the laptop so whenever i had to power it, i'd have to use a pen or something to hold it still so it wouldn't move in when i plug it (i'm not about that life biko!). I got the new laptop and even a multifunction printer and felt so good and all but now it was time to clean out my stuff and move to the new laptop. I can procrastinate for ever!!!! My hubby would ask every now and again when i'm going to move my stuff and i kept giving the excuse that i wouldn't feel comfortable moving them except i have a hard drive with enough space so that i can just move all my stuff at one time *yimu.

Well he finally asked me nicely to try to start using my new laptop within the week and i just sucked it up and started to move my stuff from the old one to it, it took me about a week to move all the major folders but i'm glad that's over!!! I still need to install some apps and software on the new one so i can get as comfy on it as i was on my old one. I do miss my old laptop, for now its serving as storage space 'cos i'd hate to lose all my stuff because my HD crashed or got lost or something, so its nice to have a permanent backup somewhere, also with the light situation in this country, having a second laptop is not a bad option for when the battery is drained on one. I have only ever owned 3 laptops in my lifetime, funny enough all HP brands. I gave out the very 1st one which i used throughout my Uni till i started working after my NYSC and this new one will be my 3rd one. I think i've been a good caretaker to them so far. I'm starting to love this new one so far but sometimes i still miss my old one though. Change is the only constant thing.
