A NATION GETS THE LEADERS IT DESERVES

  Our leaders are corrupt,inept,morally bankrupt and have zero sympathy for the plight of the people they lord over so WHY do Nigerians deserve them?
In every society, there are checks and balances built into the system to curb the natural human tendency of taking care of one's self at the expense of all others, in other words - SURVIVAL.
Our conscience is a first level check which is inbuilt,it's what makes us determine right from wrong and enables us make judgements accordingly.A lot of our moral standards are determined by what society judges as right or wrong so the more morally challenged a society is,the less our conscience restricts us.
If conscience fails then there is SOCIETAL OSTRACISATION,in the old days,in African society,citizens were expected to live within a strict framework of rules and guidelines set in place to moderate behaviour and punish wrongdoing.There was a strong belief in good ethics over riches,thievery and bad behaviour were frowned upon and perpetrators were looked down on,in some cases not allowed to participate in social and financial activities within the community and for some serious offences,BANISHED.
Of course nowadays people don't get banished they get JAILED,which brings us to the third check - the Justice system.It is what it is - corrupt and inneffective,it rewards massive corruption by looking the other way while chasing after smalltime rogues and stealers of pots of soup and bowls of amala,COMPLETELY USELESS.
We have failed ourselves because we failed our leaders, we refused to be their moral compass instead we'v held them in awe and in our hearts wish fervently to be like them, if given half the opportunity we would most likely do worse than they have done so how can we now judge them???
We don't look down on them for embezzling our money - we look up to them,we don't look down on them for destroying our children's future - we look up to them,we don't look down on them for not providing us basic infrastructure and making 70% percent of us live below the poverty line - we look up to them,we don't look down on them for murdering us in ill-equipped hospitals and on crater filled roads - we look up to them so,see,we really do deserve them.
Ideally,if society were to work as it was supposed to embezzlers of public funds would have no friends,even if they could'nt be spat upon while they were in office they would be once they were no longer in office,they would be cursed and reminded of their treachery at every turn,they would be labelled as murderers and thieves and pelted with rotten tomatoes,that's what they deserve and we deserve them.

THE EASIEST WAY TO GREAT SKIN

is buying EXPENSIVE! you might not want to hear it but buying high end beauty products usually delivers the results that u definitely won't get with cheaper products. There's a reason why products by companies like clarins,clinique and shiseido are so much more expensive -its called RESEARCH and they spend tons of money doing it so u don't have to.
As we all (SHOULD) know buying cheap always eventually costs a lot more so the trick to getting it right is buying sensibly,u have to know ur skin type and buy accordingly. most of these products are problem specific so its easy to know what product will work for you.
Im a recent convert to the clarins brand and now i wonder why i bought cheap products for so long! The effects are amazing!!!You know how u see some women and wonder how they got skin like that? some women were born with it but most times its because they r doing something right ,trust me, there's nearly nothing a good product can't achieve.
First, in order not to bankrupt yourself u have to streamline your beauty regimen (this need not be a consideration if u have deep pockets but since most of us don't lets go right ahead)
For cleansing - use any mild cleansing milk (not all your products have to be expensive, only the essential ones)
For toning - this is really,really important, so u should use a really good product,clarins toning lotion is quite good, i use it both as a cleanser and toner.
For moisturising - its essential u use a product specifically made for your face. Clarins' younger longer is amazing but you have to find a product best suited to ur age and specific skin type, (u should'nt buy a product cos a friend said it worked for her )
Scrubbing ur face once a week is extremely,extremely,extremely important - any good facial scrub will do,u don't have to break the bank for this.
Applying a hydrating or moisturising facial mask once a week is a MUST if u want to have beautiful skin and i advise u don't waste ur time with a cheap product, it just won't deliver.( and remember, less is more, u don't need to pile on the product for it to work, u need just a little,that way ur supply lasts a lot longer)  
Lastly, before we round up 3 other things u SHOULD'NT buy cheap -
Mascara
A good foundation
Sunscreen

HAVE U NOTICED - LAGOS GUYS DON''T "TOAST" ANYMORE

Maybe its just us but lateeely it seems guys just don't bother anymore! they v become as pompous as we girls used to be back in the day when we used to be wooed and enticed and fought and cried over (those were the good ol days),now,all they do is STARE at you, they ll stare ur pants right off u if u are not careful! i think its probably cos they are scared of getting ''NAILED'' by nasty ******. As a consequence,THEY dont want to toast u,anymore (thats a complete waste of time and effort) THEY want to get toasted by YOU ! Its a war out there,especially if ur anywhere above age thirty,were brought up with the notion that ur knight in shining armour would arrive on horseback and sweep u right off ur feet and havent had the time or inclination to acquire some predatory skills in the art of finding yourself a man,there might be a little problem!Cos,these days u have to battle for the attention of the few halfway decent guys available and mind u there arent too many,(seems all the good ones already been taken)                                                                                                                                                                 P.S - When u hear girls say they r getting married dont u just wonder how they managed to get the guy to pop the question or how they even found him in the first place???
