APC Launches 5 Fundraising Platforms For Buhari

APC on Tuesday, launched 5 for Nigerians to contribute to the funds for the presidential campaign of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and his running mate, Prof Yemi Osibanjo at the Lagos House, Marina.

According to the chairman of the fund-raising committee, Gov. Babatunde Fashola, this was created  as a result of Buhari's desire to have campaign fund-raising that would involve ordinary people and be transparent. 

He said; “This project will be different from the ones that we are accustomed to. And this is part of the change that our party wishes to bring. This has been designed to give everyone the opportunity to participate in effecting that change.”

“We have seen the enthusiasm of young people to participate in this election, especially those who will be voting for the first time. There will be five payment platforms and no amount will be too small. The first is through bank payment. And five banks have been saddled with that responsibility. What the banks will do is to provide dedicated teller and it will have APCGMBPYO 2015 on it.”

“The second is through e-transaction throughwww.apcgmbpyo.org. As you make this donation, there will be record and I will do my best to acknowledge you through text messages or possibly by letters.”

 “It is important to emphasise the intolerant disposition of the ruling party to the opposition by informing the public that our party’s domain name ─ www.apc.com.ng ─ which incidentally promotes the country, has been shut down by the Federal Government because they do not want us to use the internet to communicate.”

 “Regrettably but necessarily, we were compelled to register a new name which they will have little control over. And that iswww.apcgmbpyo.org. It will be the internet platform for this fund-raising and other activities,” Fashola added

Google Nigeria Launches Online News Portal To Keep Up With The Elections

Google Nigeria has just unveiled a new online portal via which voters and observers can catch up on the latest news relating to the 2015 General Elections.

The portal, which is accessible via web or mobile, will serve as a one-stop resource for all news, party and candidate profiles, INEC activity, videos and digital media relating to the elections, in the run up to the polls in February.

Eligible voters are also encouraged to pledge their votes ahead of election day, using a social sharing feature on the portal to publicize their intent, and also encourage two other people to do same.

It’s not just for eligible voters. Candidates vying for posts can also better articulate their manifestos and agenda to the voting public using interactive features on the portal.

The concept for an election hub is not the first by Google in Africa. First conceived in 2007, it has undergone over 40 iterations in other African countries.

I dont believe in the Afterlife like Christians do - CharlyBoy want's y'all to try Buddhism

In a new article posted on Facebook, titled "My Object Of Worship" Charly Boy opens up on his faith and mode of worship.

Check it out after the cut....

No, I no dey suck human blood, I no be general overseer for illuminati, I no dey Ogboni or for cult, e don doooooooo. You People no go kill me with laugh for Naija. The way eyes dey red now, you go think say Apollo catch dem.  Many guys dey write me say dem wan join illuminati, Cheai, there is Godoooo.
I dey sure say the church buildings wey dey Nigeria pass our population. So called men of god  wey dey town don dey assume the proportion of China. All looking for their next Mugu. Una no see me joor.

I have been queried a lot about my faith these days. Do I believe in God? Do I believe in Jesus? Do I pray and to who or what? I guess for many, they probably cannot wrap their minds around my spirituality. Am sure some people even think say I be native doctor as na only me dey take siesta inside coffin when I never die. No vex, na my life and I dey rock-am anyhow, no homo. Some people dey form good Christians because dem wan go heaven, me I just dey denge dey pose because am living my own small heaven right here on this earth for this Nigeria. I no wan wait till I die. Even some of my Muslim brothers wey wan fast track dem own dey even do suicide  bombing. Na only Naija Christains wey dey fear death yet dem all wan go heaven. Haba.

Most  Nigerians who have heavily invested in their Christianity believe that the concept of any other faith should be considered false. So how do I start to speak to narrow-minded Christians to understand that Buddhism is a wholesome practice for everyone, even the Christians themselves?
Take some time out and research, go to google, you will for sure see so many books on the topic, where Buddhism and Christianity agree in philosophy; in fact, with some of the key factors of most world religions. Also, the best of the Bible and Buddhism both converge on the areas of ethics, kindness, giving, and love.

Too many practitioners of all faiths focus on the rewards at the end of our journey, when the rewards and purpose are the journey itself according to the teaching of Buddha.

While I may not be a religious person, I believe in Jesus/Christianity, I do not deny it.  While I do not believe in the afterlife as Christians do, if those who follow it embody the qualities of Jesus in the here and now, then I embrace their practice as successful and good. While Buddhism is a faith of self-realization in the practice of here and now. Christianity is a practice for the afterlife of God’s revelation.

No matter how my Naija Christian brothers dey see God, my own way different. I see our Creator as one that does not interfere with the world in which we live, but only touches the heart of man to let him know He (God) is there. It is up to man to make his volitional choices using his free will, and making his own happiness.

The story of Job tells of the story of a faithful man who is beset by all sorts of misfortune, but he “chooses” to keep his faith. While Jesus performed miracles and taught His Gospel, He always presented His parables as tools/models for His followers to make their own choices towards happiness.

Buddha does the same as Jesus, but without the need to exclude the idea of other faiths. The Buddha said for us to always question, practice and see the truth by the fruits of our efforts. If a Christian can grow and develop his faith by adding the tools of the Buddha, then I see it as a damn good thing. I don find my direction to heaven, make you find ya own abegi.
