Guess who replaces Patricia Etteh as house speaker?? 38 year old Dimeji Bankole is Nigeria's new House Speaker (i.e. number 4 in Nigeria in terms of tiers/ranking). I found a pic of him on ThisDay. Apparently he went to Sandhurst, Oxford and then Harvard (read Uzo's post).
Hmmm nice one - paving the way for the younger generation. Is this a revolution????? Read story here
Okay these titles are becoming cornier by the minute. Lord, please help me! Since none of you can! LOLOL
Okay, so what is November notorious for?
Ermm.....Events maybe?!!
Most Definitely - Yea, there are loads of things going on this month and I will dedicate entire blogs to these individual events such as the Nayo (UK) tour coming up next weekend - yup, you heard me! The Naijacomedy series in Abuja (Basketmouth and Julius Agwu), the Wharton Africa Business Forum, the Billionaire Dollar Babes Fashion event and lots more.
So Happy November and happy birthday to all November people hehe.
Some Naija News for you all - may be a bit stale though :-/
For those who don't know her, you may need to watch this video (also available from Reuters), featuring Naija politicians beating themselves up at the hearing over her alleged scandal - now known as the EttehGate Scandal - read here

Tuface breaks MOBO award - I was going to blog about this, but then, he unfortunately got shot and it would have been mean to take the p*ss while he was in a hospital bed. He is better now and for all the Tuface lovers, this is light-hearted humour - I am a Tuface-lover myself hehe. Check out the video below and after breaking his plaque (or whatever it was), he was like "oh no....I can't believe this is happening to me, why me (hand on his head)" and then he goes "big up Nigeria!!" - Oh Lord, now they know we Naijas have butter-fingers too!

After not having blogged in 6 years, even I myself am shocked and nervous about this....but hey you do as you are told. I have been led to start blogging again (on this page, strangely enough rather than on a separate 'ministry' type blog so here goes). The truth is once a blogger, always a blogger. Cheers to new directions!
