Obama in the New Year!!!






Happy New Year....It's 2009 baby, the year of receiving abundant favour amongst hard times if we stay in God's will.

I'll rush straight through to the highlight of the month. President Obama's inauguration today, 20th January. His Speech was mind blowing and impressive. I am completely in awe of him. Congratulations, more grease to your elbows! We are with you all the way!! For the entire transcription of his speech, check it out here. I would also like to say congratulations to Vice President Joe Bidden and wife. All the best for this term. Now, check out pics of the Celebrities at the inauguration below.

Speilberg! Possibly the most powerful man in Hollywood.

DIDDY representing



Thanking God for his life and his family.....speaking of family, controversial comments were made (as usual) about Michelle's outfit.





Culling this from another blog - There was nothing traditional, meek or remain-in-the-background about this outfit. She deliberately DID NOT wear a tasteful "First Lady" frock. From the sunny, optimistic color to the choice of a dressy, almost evening look, she's telling us she's independent, proud, self-confident, and young. Like other "young" career women, she doesn't have to wear a mannish suit or even a suit at all, to be taken seriously.

So..............when the music fades, what is Nigeria doing in terms of Change We Can Believe in? Or are we back to reality i.e. corruption, greed, self absorbed leaders, hatred, backwardness? Or is our generation going to wake up and not follow suit? Something to ponder.....and not just ponder but to take action against. Night night xxx
