THAILAND'S DEVOUT DEMOCRATS

For the last one week, the Thai capital Bankgok has been awash with street protests that culminated in yesterday's rare show of how far humanity can go in defense of Democracy. As a sign of their devout devotion and sacrifice for DEMOCRACY the anti-PM protesters collected over 300 litres of their own blood and poured outside the Government House surrounded by thousands of military and police. These creative and committed protesters, whose majority are supporters of the ousted Premier THAKSIN SHINAWATRA, are exerting pressure on the Military-backed new Prime Minister ABHISIT VEJJAJIVA to call for an early general elections.

I being a democrat and being the PERSONALITY WIZARD, and from my Personality Reading and Personality Screening expertise, I must say I was overwhelmed by emotion when I saw on TVs those red-shirted democrats donating and eventually splashing their own blood in defense of Democracy. I was even more emphatic, empathetic and sympathetic when I discovered that the new PM does not have any ability to lead even a dozen lay people. The Thai military SHOULD therefore reconsider their support for undeserving PM.

Chelsea FC minus Petr Chech

During the 24th Feb EUFA play-off between Inter-Milan vs Chelsea FC, the former won 2:1. But that was not much news. The REAL news was that the veteran Chelsea goal master Petr Chech sustained an injury that has kept him out to date. As such, Chelsea's chances of beating Inter-Milan minus their No.1 goalkeeper, come Tuesday 16th march 2010, is quite slim. Recently, Chelsea conceded very many easy goals against Manchester City (2:4). Chelsea is now struggling to keep its top position on the Barclays Premier League title chase.

Now, as a Chelsea FC fun, I am worried that minus Petr, the prospects of beating Inter- Milan and or maintaining its league lead is very slim. As a former player and keen observer, I have always maintained that a Football team is as good as its goal-keeper.  And as a personality guru, I must admit that the reserve keeper who played against Hull city and Manchester-City is naturally weak. Of course the guru coach, Carlo Ancelotti, being a seasoned coach has shown confidence with Ross Turnbull in goal-keeping. Otherwise, the club would be advised to prepare for an imminent disaster and a waterloo were it to rely on that other keeper who should be relegated to the 5th division league.

SUDANESE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS 2010

The Sudanese are scheduled to hold democratic elections next month. Sudan has not seen lasting peace ever since it gained her independence from the British in 1957. These elections shall be followed by a secession referendum in January 2011. The current president Omar Al Bashir is wanted (a warrant to that effect is already out) by The International Criminal Court in the Haque to answer charges against humanity and his alleged role in the killings of Thousands of people especially in Darfur Region. In the coming presidential elections The SPLM Party of the former strongman, the late Dr. John Garang, may The Almighty rest his soul in eternal peace, is led  by Mr. Yasir Arman.

As a personality Guru, I must admit that I was excited having seen Mr. Yasir Arman's photo. I gave him 85% vetting score especially in consideration of the enormous challenges that await the next president of this vast and oil-rich nation of the Sudan.

STANCHART PROFITS

The recently released Standard Chartered (kenya) profits for 2009 need to be explained. This bank recorded a 42.6% pretax profits. The bank's CEO Richard Etemesi attributed this phenomenal growth to ''sticking to the basics of banking. The bank's earnings reflect prudent and proactive risk management capability''. Congrats to CEO, Board of Directors and staff of Stanchart.

Using my Personality  Reading Formula, and without ignoring the input of the other stakeholders, I find this CEO to be highly endowed personality-wise and professionally. This is a man who can excel in whatever profession and under whatever circumstances. He belongs to the super achievers whom I call the KNOWERS. Knowers are the naturally bright, wise and superb knowledge workers and leaders. Knowers are not easy to come by in a population. Bravo Mr Etemesi! I shall soon open an account with this bank since I am sure this is where to put my hard-earned money not just for business but for the credibility, integrity, rationality and honesty of its CEO.

NIGER'S JUNTA PROMISES

On the 18th Feb 2010, the Niger's long serving  president Col. Mamadou Tandja was dethroned  forcefully by the junta led by Maj. Salou Djibo. Ten days later, the junta promised to organize elections soon. In fact, Maj. Djibo having declared himself president, made a personal promise to the Nation that  ''...in this country, the time for authoritarian regime is over'' The Daily Nation. Nairobi. Friday March 5, 2010: p6.

In spite of my deep love with democracy, and in spite of my devout dislike for coups d'etats and subsequent junta rule, I received the news of the coup d'etat with a sigh of relieve since Col. Tandja had manipulated the Niger's  constitution.
However, upon seeing the junta leader's photo, I have every reason to postpone my celebration. Indeed, I am worried that these promises made by the junta may not hold. My advice therefore is for the citizenry to prepare early enough to pressurize the junta to put a time-frame to their promises. Otherwise, according to me, their 'soon' may extend beyond two years.

ARUNGA'S PERSONALITY

For about a month now here in Kenya, a prominent TV hostess has dominated news headlines for resigning her job and declaring her candidature in the political arena come 2012. She was reported to have cancelled her marriage plans but rescinded it after she'd been arrested by the local police and later handed-over to a famous local psychiatrist perhaps by her worried parents. She is now reported to have been thinking to sue her parents jointly with the local media.
My own analysis of this circus is that this is a classic case of parents, now a global phenomena mostly affecting the well-off and busy parents, living with their children for decades but failing to  decipher their REAL personalities and character. The hitherto lack of a credible personality formula aggravated this situation.
Luckily, with the advent of the Personality Reading Formula, you don't have to humiliate anybody by taking them  to a psychiatrist. All that parents need to do is to send us photographs of their children, and or the vice versa, and we shall reveal their personalities in real time.
In brief, Arunga's case would have been easily handled  by a personality expert rather than a psychiatrist. To me Ms Arunga is a sober and a highly independent-minded and rational lady capable of taking whatever personal decisions and facing resultant risks maturely. But of course it is morally wanting to imagine suing one's parents. For more information visit personalitywizard.com.
