http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/ What's on the minds of young leaders from around the globe? en-us http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/93261 The carnival was a wonder to behold kind of the carribean stuff i normally watch on Tv.
There was a lot of cultural displays and dances.
The Governor who I am an ardent fan was on hand to see the successful hosting of the carnival to the end from the mounatin race at obudu to the end of year lightning crackers.
The Musicians were all out to thrill us all the way from the Cultural Viallge to the U.J. Esuene Stadia.
i was impresed to see our courteous and abled bodied Nigeria force police men and the Military alike leading traffic and helping in maintaining law and order(They were terrific and who says they are the worst in the world).
I was suprised that even the Area boys were not left out in even mainatining law and order (I wonder if they were paid or was just a free offer to Calabar city).
What struck me more was the neatness of the city , beautiful landscaping, and cool sceanrio from the sea side.
i also enjoyed the Cow tail pepper soup, suya and fresh fish, Afang and Atama soup respectively from the various joints in calabar city.
I enjoyed the clubbing at Mirage and pyramid too,i also enjoyed the cool breeze from the atlantic ocean close to the old residency museum.
I am looking forward to another Calabar festival, just hope the next Governor believes in continuity]]> Mon, 15 Jan 2007 08:22:00 EST http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/93261 4.95 8.31666674.958.3166667 http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/93259 Recent travails between the president and the deputy continue to put doubt on my mind.
Job insecurity on the rise, armed robbery , assasinations, and kidnap has been on the rise.
I begin to wonder where the country is heading to.
The elections are coming once agin, lets forget about ethnic bigotry, religious favoritism and thuggery and fight towards one case, achieveing the Nigerian Goal.
let The new president implement the i Pc Laptop per child initiatve(of course i know is a failed project) resusitate the power sector and rid corruption.
Let Mr president elect bring up moribund industries and develop or build new once to support the existing once.
I must once again commend Mr . Donald Duke for putting Cross river state on the global map just like an uncle of mine(Late Clement isong) did a coupe of years ago.
Tinapa is a reality, mountain races and annual Carnival is a reality.
I believe in one Nigeria]]> Mon, 15 Jan 2007 08:12:00 EST http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/93259 4.95 8.31666674.958.3166667 http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/43177 well,
the current political war wagging between the president and the vice president brings a lot of concern to all and sundry especially now that we are about getting to an important period " Election 2007"
i pray that all be well with the nigerian polity as it is heated up now.
Why do they disgrace thier selves rather than spend the money into Information technology , lets say embrace the i laptop per child project going on all over the world and be remembered for life or provide jobs for the teamming unemployed youths . spread loans for peasant farmers and traders .Encourage farming and enterprenuership.
i think we can all deveolp from that]]> Tue, 12 Sep 2006 11:07:00 EDT http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/43177 4.95 8.31666674.958.3166667 http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/42517 The beautiful maidens were all present dancing to the african rythmn.
This is to signify the beginning and release a new Yam. A staple food in these areas.
I must commend The Governor Donald Duke for The part he has played towards hosting this event]]> Sat, 26 Aug 2006 07:03:00 EDT http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/42517 4.95 8.31666674.958.3166667 http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/40706 Let them allow us worry about Iraq and USA , Somalia,Liberia, and the debt ridden African countries.
The hunger in the Poor third world countries.
Let the world leaders allow peace to reign by mediating because i watched in horro the bombing.
Lets experience peace for onec.
Coming to Nigeria lets play politics without rancour, bitterness, and strife.

Well we find slums every where in the world .I was horrified at such a sight.
This is a country that has produced the most beautiful woman in the world , world classed elder statemen, World renouned Space Craft Pilots , Computer wiz kids etc
The people are nice , crime rate is low at least where i live .
We have hard working people and Smart and brilliant ones are found there too.
Please if it requires you to come and see i will host you privately in my home country house.
afetr all we handed over
Come and see the Nigeria you are rejecting, beautiful scenario where sunsets beautifully.Lovely women, people, come to Calabar see Tinapa The EPZ zone do legitimate business, Beautiful nature and What nature has to behold .
Please stop painting Nigeria Black
I am proud of Nigeria]]> Sat, 01 Jul 2006 05:28:00 EDT http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/40217 4.95 8.31666674.958.3166667 http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/39850 The world cup is an eye witness to that fact.Ghana were able to beat the US at all cost. I even went up to the extent of betting with my cousin in the states to dtermine the winner but i won the bet.
African football has gone a long way and will win at the long run.
i pray for South african 2010 because africa will be picking the cup for the secon time cause Ghana no stopping em.
wih africa the best of luck , Ghana i dey hail Oh]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 12:50:00 EDT http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/39850 4.95 8.31666674.958.3166667 http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/39608 well, the current FIFA rules about head to head has robbed my country of its world cup particpation.
lets see how FIFA is humilating African countries anyway serves them right(togo, cote d ivoir e, angola)
I bet no African country would make the 2nd round that i know.
Thats FIFA ploitics to a continent Raveaged with poverty , hunger and starvation.
FIFA please help african football grow]]> Fri, 16 Jun 2006 06:55:00 EDT http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/39608 4.95 8.31666674.958.3166667 http://obotjumoh.tigblog.org/post/22867 Linux has simple commands and set up arrangement .The most important thing is that it can run 2 platforms consequtively.
