Benue retaliatory killings worrisome.

Do we need to take laws into our hands to avenge wrongdoings. Two wrongs does not make a right. Seven men from Fulanis extraction were killed in Gboko yesterday. Are all Fulanis criminal elements?Where are the police apparatus when the killings was going on. The country security system is deteriorating by the day,  if this situation is not tamed, then there is fire on the mountain.                                                                    

Another feather to President Buhari cap.

Emergence of President Buhari as Africa Union anti-corruption champion is laudable . He has fought corruption to a stand still,  mouth agape when buried money was excavated in some homes. Without no iota of doubt he has done well in this regard. The downside to this government is that there is no economic blueprint. He should do more on economic recovery, fighting corruption without providing jobs is like building a house and pulling it down at the same time.

Will Obasanjo coalition for Nigeria movement make impact?

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is set to spearhead a movement,  Coalition of Nigeria movement is a brain child of Olusegun Obasanjo. The simple question I want to ask is,  who are the people that would be member of that group? Are they not crop of people we are familiar with? Remember 99percent of APC member are from PDP. That is the reason why there is no meaningful development.                                            

Better transportation system, Ambode is working.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is set to revamp and overhaul transportation system in Lagos. There are several benefits this revamping exercise will bring to the masses. One of the benefits is reduction in spate of robbery and ritualistic tendencies associated with some of these yellow buses. In the next few months all these yellow buses will be gone.

Theatre of the absurd as Otobo recant her confession.

I tag it seasons of confessions as Stephanie Otobo confessed Apostle Suleiman paid her to recant her statement. She once admitted that she lied against the man of God, now she had eaten her words. Are we suppose to believe Otobo,  if the man actually called her to mend fence with her,  she should provide evidence. Someday truth will be revealed.

Friction between incumbent and predecessor political office holder.

The rift between former governor of Kano State and his successor Ganduje is far from over. Former governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi path would not cross with incumbent governor.Amaechi and Wike are at loggerheads. What could be the cause of the rancour, could it be sharing formula of the national cakes.Whaever might have transpired between the two gladiators, they should ensure poor masses does not bear the brunt.

Children have right to qualitative education.

Willy Obiano would not condone children hawking on the street during school hour. Parents should enroll their children in school for a better future. Governor of Anambra has threatened to  arrest any child caught violating this law. Right to education is a fundamental human right of every children and it should not be trampled upon.

Lagos and other big cities needs standard railway level crossing.

                                                       Level crossing is a place where a railway and a road or two railway lines cross at the same level.Level  crossing prevents avoidable accidents between a train and moving vehicles on the road.       Does it cost too much to have standard level crossing in our metropolis, government should invest tax payers money in building of infrastructure, some of the countries in the western world  are not as rich  as Nigeria.Investment in infrastructure is not a waste, it improves life expectancy and people enjoy dividends of democracy which they were promised ab initio                                               

Menace of Ogere motor park.

There is no doubt about it, we have individual in our society that are sacred cows,  they are above the law. Ogun state government find it very difficult to relocate truck driver to a permanent site. The truck drivers find it more convenient to park on the road indiscriminately. The simple reason why they resist relocation is because the truck owners are "big men".  they are simply above the law. Not only they park indiscriminately., most of the time they drive against traffic which has resulted into road carnages. One day we will have government that has political will to do the right thing.

Trump now respect Africa Union.

He must have eaten his words,  president trumps said he has deep respect for AU(Africa Union). Africa is a continent and Africa unity can not be overemphasised.Africa is not a shithole countries and America needs Africa to accomplish certain task.

Social media clamp down not necessary.

Social media has given voice to the voiceless over the years.Presidency is set to clamp down on user of social media that discredit government of President Buhari. There may not be any need for government to monitor social media if they do what they are suppose to do to make life meaningful for the masses. Social media monitoring is not necessary, effort should be made on the path of government to improve standard of living of the people.

Cattle ranch or colony.

The idea of having cattle colony seems to go down well with Fulanis herdsmen. The question I want to ask is,  who proposed the idea. What is wrong with cattle ranch,  is there any difference between colony and ranch. Now that all the states are not in support of cattle colony, the herdsmen should let peace reign and settle for ranch.

Comedy of error

While addressing youth to shun smoking of weeds, executive governor of Imo State Rochas Okorocha erroneously said armed robbery is better than weed smoking.All in a bid to condemned drug abuse  

Would sex doll replace human?

Innocent looking, calm and unconscious of happenings in its environs.She is a sex  doll, I use the word "she" intentionally.Invention of sex doll would have some dire consequence on our sexual life. How well will this tools replace human time will tell. 

Atiku hobnobbing with Fayose

Former vice president Atiku Abubakar paid a courtesy visit to Ekiti State helmsman, Ayodele Fayose. Some school of thought believed if Atiku finally emerge as PDP candidate there is every likelihood Fayose will be his running mate. Is PDP still formidable, time will tell. 

Obasanjo letter to Buhari dominates political discourse.

                                                              Our attention have suddenly been shifted from Fulanis herdsmen onslaught on hapless farmer in Benue, Taraba and other parts of the country. What dominates political discussion was the letter written from former President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Buhari. You may read part of the story here We should not loose focus on what is more important, we need to set our priority right.Security of lives and properties is our fundamental human right.                                                                                                                                                               

Live wire fell and killed many in Ibadan.

It saddened my heart that in this 21st century live wire from a pole would fall on hapless citizens. This sad event occurred in Ibadan and it was a gory sight. Who will be held responsible? It was a painful death and government should take drastic step to forestall  re-occurrence. 

Obasanjo advice to Buhari, any moral justification

                                                                                                                                  Some leaders of thought believed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo does not have the moral justification to advise President Buhari. The school of thought believe his performance in office was not outstanding and moreover he wanted a third term. Well, Obasanjo has spoken let us wait and see how presidency would respond to his advice.                                                          

UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN DEMONIZED HAIR ATTACHMENT

Wear hair attachment as a student in University of Ilorin  and loose your studenship, among other instructions given to undergraduate of University of Ilorin, they are not allowed to be adorn with attachment.                                                     There are many questions begging for answers, does hair attachment has direct impact on attitude of students? Does it have negative impact on their academic performance.                                                                                                                                                                   The school management should review this policy, hair attachment is only for adornment and in the 21st century aside from any unseen ulterior motive which may be hinged on religious belief, banning of hair attachment is unwelcome.

SUSPENSION OF NURTW ACTIVITIES ON LAGOS ISLAND

ONE MURDER TOO MANY              Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has suspended NURTW activities on Lagos Island, this is consequent upon killing of Ganiu a.k.a Piero.The late Gani was a loyalist of Kunle Poly who is one of the influential member of the union.           It has been very difficult for government to curtail activities of these union member, late last year, a member of the union was assassinated during LG eleection in Oshodi-Isolo local government.          I would have expected  government to ban the union out rightly or restructure the union.                                                         

Cleaner Lagos, Ambode is working.

                                 CLEANER LAGOS Governor Ambode is still the best governor in the history of the state, Ambode should be given higher responsibility .We may not need to  recycle old leaders .  Lagos  State in conjuction with visionscape is cleaning Lagos  up.

Mexico recorded highest homicide rate in decades.

Mexico recorded highest homicide rate in decades, 29168 murder was recorded. Mexico is the most dangerous country in the world. Do you know if Mexico is willing to  give free Visa to some Nigerians they will relocate. How do we get to this point , filling stations are locked, salaries of civil servants remain unpaid. Our country is on the precipice, we need help.

OBASANJO ADVISED PRESIDENT BUHARI

                                         TAKE A BOW A good actor will leave when the ovation is loudest, former president Olusegun Obasanjo has taken President Buhari to the cleaner.In his words Buhari needs dignified and honourable dismount from power. An APC chieftain Bisi Akande once took a swipe at leadership of Prsident Bihari. In the area of security he has a good score card, but his performance as far as economy is concerned is abysmal.

Way out of incessant fire outbreak in our markets

How can we fold our arms and allow our source of livelihood gone in flames. There has been incessant fire accidents in our markets.Plank market in Sango Ibadan was gutted by fire, Kano market was razed by strange inferno. Properties worth billions of Naira were destroyed in these markets. What is the way out?  Market men and women needs to be trained on fire drilling, they also need to be educated on danger of naked wire in their shops.                                                                     On the path of government, every standard market should have fire brigade station located within the market. Government should cushion the effect of these wanton lost by giving out money to market people affected.

NFF HAS DONE WELL

I Will like to salute NFF under the leadership of Amanju Pinnick, for coming to the rescue of Wilson Orumah.                             Wilson Orumah served his father land and he should not be deserted at this point in time.

FRSC Accident Reports scary.

If we are to go by accident report given by FRSC, then there is fire on the mountain. Report shows that 4410 people lost their lives in a fatal accident in 2017.According to the report, the number was reduced when compare to 2016. Now come to look at it, Is there anything like speed limit on our roads. Why did FRSC stopped the enforcement of speed limiters proposed for commercial vehicles and others. This figure is unacceptable, there are many factors responsible for road carnage, bad roads, overspeeding . e. t. c.   How discipline are the agents of government saddle with responsibility of  enforcement? Some of them are corrupt and are found wanting in discharge of their duties. Drastic steps should be taken to reduce road carnage, we are suppose to be giant of Africa.

Abacha loot re-lòoted.

A whooping sum $500 million Abacha loot was said to have been stolen. In any case not all the money vanished into thin air, only $250m could not be traced. Hopefully EFCC will make a headway in recovering of the re-looted  funds.
