Performing abroad


Before the end of this year, Beyonce will be owing the front page of Vogue magazine- the world literary representation of fashion expression. And what is more newsworthy is not that Beyonce will be the first black to grace the Vogue in her 120 years of publication but she will also be shot by a black young photographer. Touching everything from the unemployed to the sick, Bey's BeyGood foundation aims to make the world a more beautiful place. Her new initiative is currently raising money for the thousands in Nepal who were affected by the recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake. The superstar raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight for gender equality worldwide, given school supplies to students across the nation and hosted food drives in Houston (and she shows no sign of stopping!).

In L.A., LeBron James having learnt that sport without education is like having an apple laptop without a password, has partnered with Akrons public school in fulfilling lifetime promise of providing education at no cost to parents. What made the school unique is that it has anchored its curriculum in math and science-based teaching, dipping into the STEM — science, technology, engineering, and math — curriculum that prepares students for the jobs of the future.

Just like most documented immigrants, President Buhari too is doing better in diaspora than at home. The president has just been selected as the chairman of ECOWAS.Guaranteeing him a steady job and income for the next year in case PDP goes ahead with a predictable impeachment proceeding against him for his deliverables.Buhari is likely to suffer the same fate as his predecessor President Faure Gnassingbe who faced a tough task in his 12-month tenure. Togolese opposition parties understandingly protested his continued stay in power over the entire period.

In his reaction to both his new international assignment and high profile defection of members of his party, the president has decided to go on holidays in UK before Britain exits Europe. The possibility of Buhari coming back and meeting any relevant APC members still in the party is as slim as his chances of fair hearing in the biased court of public opinion. While in UK, the vice president will be directing the affairs of the country provided he does not go to mountain top to pray. It is a good thing Saraki has defected to PDP at this point in time otherwise he may put the country up for sale as the next person in line of authority before the President returns.

But seriously, this may not be an auspicious time  for the president to relocate, sorry go on vacation. I mean we all can't in the name of change leave the country now, even God will find an excuse for not being able to rule in the affairs of this country as promised, and those that are banned from travelling outside the country cannot be trusted with our finances. And I am kinda busy right now.
