Independent candidacy in our democracy.

Senate approval of independent candidates is a step in the right direction, a candidate will not have to contest under any political party.There are many challenges I foresee an independent candidate will have.

1) Funding of an election is not a childs play, our democracy is one of the most expensive in the whole world.An individual who has no political inclination may not stand any chance in our political climate.

2)Lack of transparency is another issue, if a whole political party could be rigged out, rigging election of an independent candidate will not be an issue.

Fuel crisis, not again in Nigeria........ NNPC.

You may describe him as an optimist, you will not be farther from the truth. NNPC GMD Dr Makainti Baru said Nigeria will never experience fuel crisis again. Nigeria is an OPEC member, yet we have no functional refinery not even modular refinery. Dr Baru should not only promise citizens, talk is cheap, what are the measures put in place to stop scarcity. Nigetians would not forgot last December in a hurry, many people slept at filling stations for days. Let's keep our finger cross and watch fulfillment of Baru prophecy.

Relocation of Bodija abattoir and Nigeria Police involvement.

Killings of protesting butchers in Bodija abattoir was not necessary. Nigeria police force could douse tension without shedding innocent blood. Relocation of the abattoir to new location by the government was resisted by the butchers which led to violent protest and eventually death of two individual. Government action to relocate the butchers now is prejudicial since the case is still in court. Nigeria police should also know that using live bullets to disperse protesters is criminal and uncivilized.
