Mardi Gras!!!


Why is Mardi Gras such a big deal? Those who follow this celebration are really hyped up. I can just imagine how I-10 looks right now. Classmates have gotten there hair done and are on there way to partake in the festivities. I have been to Mardi Gras about 3 times and I do not know what all the fuss is about. I have done some googling and have found out the Mardi Gras literally means Fat Tuesday. It is the day right before Ash Wednesday, which signifies the beginning of Lent. It is traditionally the last day for Catholics to indulge before the fast. Mardi Gras is the feast before the fast. So can I presume that Mardi Gras is a Catholic holiday? Anyway, its very interesting that the background of Mardi Gras come from a religion. Considering all the booze, and flashing that goes on.

Abacha loses ownership of multi-million naira estate in Port Harcourt Written by Ise-Oluwa Ige Monday, February 16, 2009

ABUJA—The Supreme Court, last Friday, dismissed an appeal by the Administrator of the Estate of late Head of State, General Mohammed Sani Abacha, challenging the judicial annulment of the deceased’s right of occupancy to a piece of land in Port-Harcourt on which he built a multi-million naira edifice.

That was after the five-member panel of the Supreme Court had restored the disputed land to its original owner, Mr Samuel David Eke-Spiff. The land is located on Plot 228 Diobu, GRA, Phase 11 in Port-Harcourt. Eke-Spiff was a Permanent Secretary in the Rivers State Government before he retired from service.

Today, I was late for everything. I started out on time but a doctors appointment messed up my whole day. I missed my first class, then I was 2 seconds late for my second class. As I walked in he had just called my name.
I was thrown off the whole day. I left school early and came home to take a nap. I have not spoken to my loved ones, and now I cannot sleep because of my midday siesta. I need to wake up at 630 am and it is now 1230.....
Blah, blah, blah....I could be reading one of the many cases so that I can be on point in the morning but I refuse to get up and open a Con Law book. I am sure I will think of something interesting to write about or I will fall asleep

Happy Valentines

Since the 28th of January I have been in a balloon. Enchanting love, new experiences, romantic trips, and rest( well of course some studying). I do not want the bubble to burst. Like all things it must soon come to an end. The 27th is fast approaching....


Anyway, I received a text message from one of my friends that said " I hope your day is filled with all the love you deserve." I thought that was a little weird. Is love something that you have to earn? I feel like everyone should have love in abundance. We should not be looking to get qualified for love. Love can come from all types of places. The first place it should come from is yourself. So on this day full of love, let us love ourself first. I know that is what we deserve.

Happy Valentines Day
