HELLO

IBADAN, Nigeria Gang members hired by politicians beat an election official and steal ballot papers. Bus loads of thugs harass opposition parties. A bomb detonates without an apparent target. Nigeria's delayed first national election starts Saturday, but already troubles reminiscent of a fatally flawed 2007 vote can be seen across Africa's most populous nation. Coupled with a failed bombing in the north and an attack by a radical Islamic sect Friday, these signs undoubtedly prove worrying for international observers concerned about one of the top crude oil suppliers to the U.S., as well as those who will place their inked fingers to the ballots. "Millions of voters may be disenfranchised by being too scared to go out to cast their votes," recently wrote Kunle Amuwo, an analyst with the International Crisis Group. "Politicians who orchestrate violence must be held accountable and prosecuted. Unless violence is swiftly curtailed and contained, there will be no ba...

….Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello,  Bankole on their way out of National Assembly By Kolade Larewaju, Abeokuta EARLY results coming in from polling units after Saturday’s election in Ogun State indicate a sharp lead by the Action Congress of Nigeria [ACN] across the state with the Peoples Democratic party [PDP] and the Peoples Party of Nigeria [PPN] trailing behind with a huge difference. Results from polling units in former President Olusegun Obasanjo ward 11, indicate that he lost woefully. Indication also emerged that while Senator Iyabo Obasanjo Bello may have lost her seat to Gbenga Obadara of the ACN, the Speaker of the House of Representatives; Mr. Dimeji Bankole may also be on his way out for the ACN candidate; Segun Williams with the early results. At the African Church Grammar School, Ita Iyalode in Abeokuta where the former President and his daughter  Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello voted for the Senatorial election, the ACN polled 167 votes while the PDP polled 64 and PPN; 5 vot...

* Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, Bankole on way out * David Mark leads with slight margin * ACN in Benue, Edo in early lead * Oluremi Tinubu in comfortable lead * CPC, PDP in neck on neck in FCT There were indications, as the results of the rescheduled National Assembly  polls trickled in, last night, that the elections may have created upsets in some states. Results from polling units  in Ogun State showed a comfortable lead by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) across the state with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) trailing behind. Results from polling units in former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s ward  II showed that he lost woefully while his daughter, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, who vied in the senatorial segment of the polls in Ogun central, may have lost her seat to Gbenga Obadara of the ACN. The speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Dimeji Bankole, who contested the federal constituency segment in Abeokuta, may al...

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo probably had a premonition that he and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would be roundly routed in last Saturday’s election into the National Assembly in Ogun State, by the burgeoning Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) which clinched all the three senatorial seats and most of the federal constituencies’ seats in the state. When he was sarcastically asked by a reporter if he was still laughing when he came for accreditation at the Ita-Eko Ward 11 polling booth 1 near his Abeokuta family house at about 11am on election day, Obasanjo calmly answered, “You can’t say everything is a laughing matter the way I said I dey laugh o, because it is a serious matter now”. The election results turned out not to be a laughing matter for Obasanjo, who lost not only in his polling unit but also in his entire ward. His daughter Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello lost her bid to retain the Ogun Central Senatorial seat while the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole ...

I am not just happy today reasons i don't know, i thought today would be one of the happiest day of my life reasons are just cos i thought i would get paid for the job i did yesterday but the reverse is certainly the case according to what i am saying here. My day was just a day i was suppose to collect 1000 dollars rather i was seeing a movie called THIEF where the stole the united states money, money of about 40 million dollars. can you just imagine that i am sick and tired of all these so i showered and head off to the one place i called my relaxing point, i don't know about your relaxing spot or rather i don't give a fuck about that. Not to waste your time in saying stories i am a bit happy now cause i can write this off my mind

 After all i have said about this fraternity if you are still interested in becoming a mason there are just simply ways in which you can do that, but inspite of my post i am neither encouraging nor discouraging you all i am doing is just to let you know more about this frat and there's more to come about those who have joined, the so called stars like jay-z, kanye west etc i guess its just 7 simple ways to join and off you go  Are there things you want to accomplish in your life? Are there ways you want to enrich yourself? Do you enjoy being with people you like and respect? As a Freemason, you’ll find friendship and fraternity. You’ll develop life skills like self-confidence, leadership, and effective communication. You’ll learn to work as part of a team  and to better yourself as you help others. Think about taking the first step into becoming a Mason. It is widely thought that one must be invited to become a Freemason or that Freemasonry is so exclusive as to be b...

Secrecy never understood i wonder what is rally hidden in this group maybe somethings you see in the movies like 24, alias, prison break but only God knows, read this about the secrecy of freemason sat down on a bench and pulled out my pipe. I rubbed out a flake of my beloved Virginia tobacco, struck a match, and puffed as I contemplated the subject of the meeting I was about to have with a Brother. He was new to the lodge and had questions, so I had agreed to meet him in the park between our places of business. I noticed him approaching me, smiling and waving as he progressed along the sidewalk. “Good afternoon,” he said, “I really appreciate you taking the time to meet me here. I have so many questions about the degrees, but everyone else seems to change the subject when I bring them up.” “Well, that isn’t much of a surprise,” I replied, “chances are that they lack the knowledge to give you a proper answer. Their silence is the best way to maintain their intelligent reputation...

Nigeria Freemasons is only a private social network dedicated to Regular Nigeria Freemasons and our friends. It is made by Freemasons, to help Nigeria Brethren worldwide keep in touch, share their thoughts about freemason, organize events, and discuss Nigeria’s development on the forum. This website is an independent project and independent of District Grand Lodge of Nigeria. What is Freemasonry? It is one of the world’s oldest fraternal societies. Ancient Freemasonry’s lessons of moral values (governing relations between people) and its acknowledgement, without crossing the boundaries of religion, that all depends on the providence of God, apply today with as much force as they did when it took its modern form at the turn of the 17th century. Freemasonry has “secrets” (used in proof of membership) but it is not a secret society. Some of its internal affairs are private and Freemasons incline to reticence about their membership because they are taught not to use it to advance their own...

I thought this just came to this part of our world whereas my guess was very wrong. this was written by a guy named ade on the freemason site for nigeria check it out For sake of accuracy; the first Lodge of Freemasons established in Nigeria was in the year 1868, called Lagos Lodge # 1171 E.C. Chartered by the United Grand Lodge of England. This was followed in the year 1896, by the establishment of MacDonald Lodge # 173 I.C. Warranted under the Grand Lodge of Ireland. Followed in the year 1913,by the consecration of Lodge Academic # 1107 S.C. by the Grand Lodge of Scotland. Thereafter a host of other Lodges folowed to present day. The founders of these pioneer Lodges were mainly colonial administrators and missionaries (clergy). Nigerian or local Brethren were initially few; however there was no discrimination,as the colonialists co-existed in Brotherly Love and affection with their black natives;examplifying the beneficial effects of the benevolent institution of Freemasonry beyond ...

Avoid These 5 Useless Website Promotion Techniques Every owner of a website in Nigeria or anywhere on the Planet Earth knows that getting a constant flow of traffic is the key to making money online. The world wide web attracts such a massive number of buyers that regardless of what you sell, you will make some really good money when you have lots of traffic. Internet marketers including ClickAds, Nigeria are constantly coming up with newer ways to expand their reach across the Internet because no website can survive without enough specific traffic. However, some of the website marketers have come up with some rather creative ways to bring in greater amounts of traffic in a short period of time and with little effort. My email inbox has been flooded with sales letters promoting some automated software or seldom used secret that promises an explosion of website visitors within 30 days. The disturbing part of all this is that it goes against the teaching of our early years; that not...

As I was nursing my baby, my cousin's six-year-old daughter, Krissy, came into the room. Never having seen anyone breast- feed before, she was intrigued and full of all kinds of questions about what I was doing. After mulling over my answers, she remarked, "My mom has some of those, but I don't think she knows how to use them."

Source: Egypt asks U.S. to freeze officials' assets - CNN.com Blogged with the Flock Browser

Los Angeles   -- For Sunday night's Grammy winners, nominees and just about anyone tangentially related to the music industry in Los Angeles, the actual ceremony was only a jumping off point. From 9 p.m. until the early morning, musicians hit Hollywood, West Hollywood and beyond to toast a year -- 2010, that is -- in which the music industry seemed to have multiple reasons to celebrate. And while the actual Grammy Awards were also upbeat thanks to several memorable performances , the real action last night took place not at Staples Center, but after the telecast in venues miles away from downtown L.A. The major label post-parties held the most sway with artists and industry alike on Sunday night: EMI, Warner and Sony held their annual after-parties and the mood this year was decidedly festive in contrast to recent years past. This year things felt different: Perhaps portending better things to come for an industry reeling from declining record sales (artists such as Lady Gaga...

The post-Mubarak Egyptian government has asked the United States to freeze the financial assets of some officials from that country, according to a senior Obama Administration official. The official, who was not authorized to comment on the record, spoke to CNN Monday on the condition of anonymity. The identities of the Egyptian officials are unknown. During a U.S. State Department briefing earlier Monday, spokesman P.J. Crowley was asked if Egypt had asked for the freezing of assets held by former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and family members in this country. "I am not aware of any specific request regarding any funds associated with President Mubarak," Crowley replied. "Obviously if the Egyptian government makes a particular request we will take appropriate action." The latest speculation about the status of Mubarak family assets in the United States came as U.S. officials on Monday stepped up efforts to assure Egyptians and the restive inhabitants of ...

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a nearby mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that moved apart and back together again by themselves. The lad asked, "What is this, father?" The father, having never seen an elevator, responded, "I have no idea what it is." While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched as small circles lit up above the walls. The walls opened up again and a beautiful twenty-four-year-old woman stepped out. The father looked at his son anxiously and said, "Go get your mother."
