Like Caitlyn Jenner, Like Denrele, Like Charlie Boy: The Caitlyn Jenner transgender madness

 

And Etcetera writes this Punchy Piece...

And that’s how Bruce Jenner unveiled his new identity, leaving his male identity behind with Caitlyn. Trust Nigerians not to be left behind in the gossip and buzz it generated. A female radio presenter was like, “Oh my God,” so Bruce Jenner is now Caitlyn Jenner? What the hell is going on?”

Pleaseeeee, Nigerians should stop feigning surprise like they’ve not seen or heard anything like this before. You all should stop acting like we don’t have our own Denrele Edun. Mscheeeeeewwwww – is it because Bruce or Caitlyn (whatever she is called now) finally had enough balls to come out and say he is now a woman? It’s just a matter of time, Denrele will be woman enough and do same thing and give us something new to talk about aside from his Nkechi-like hairdo.

History is Made: Senate Passes 46Bills into Law in 10MINUTES

History is made as Nigerian Law makers  has passed 46 bills into law in 10MINUTES but they had 4years!
The 46 bills were passed into law yesterday, were introduced by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Senator Ita Enang.
The passage of the bills in a very short time caused uproar among Senators leading to Senator Mark telling those who were not satisfied with the passage of the bills to come up tomorrow being the next legislative day with their names and signatures for consideration.
Before the bills were passed, the Senate suspended the Order 79 (1) of the Senate Standing Orders and deemed all the Bills as having passed first, second and third readings on the floor of the Senate and concur to same.

The passing of 46 bills in 10 minutes is particularly interesting, considering that the  National Assembly has spent N600 billion in four years but managed to pass only about 106 within the period.
Shouldn't there be a place for them in the Guinness World Record? What was the haste for the bills to be passed?

Etcetera writes: Buhari And And A New Nigeria

 Just read Etcetera's piece which was published on Saturday, very Interesting

I wasn’t born in 1960. So, I have no memories of the euphoria of the first Independence Day. My early memories of independence are the celebrations in the small government school I attended. My well starched and ironed school uniform, national flags made of paper, singing the National Anthem, and a speech by the headmistress were the highlights. In my final year, I was allowed to pin a small flag on my shirt and hold a slightly bigger one in front of the school because I was a school prefect. Those were proud moments! Even after so many years, the pride still remains. It is totally different today.

Speaking further, Amaechi stated that the governor-elect should realise that he (Wike) was his chief of staff, adding that Wike’s record was with him.

“In a bid for Wike to be governor, he hired …. an ex-militant. They killed a young man in Okrika and cut off his private parts. They slashed a young man’s throat and decided to hang his head on a tree.
