Youth bills without downplaying money politics is a mirage.

It is a cheering news that much awaited bills has been passed.  Not too young to run  bills is now a law.  Youths  from 30 years can now contest for political positions unhindered. Now, the crux of the matter is this,  our democracy is very expensive, how many of these youths will be able to fund their election.. Is there going to be a law that would downplay money politics.  Until when that is done,never too young to run bills would be a mirage. 

Jolly Nyame conviction would not hold water.

 Could it be true that former Taraba State governor has been sentenced to 14 years in prison. He was found guilty of allegations that borders on fraud, the judge did not allow option of fine. Amount to the tune of 1.64 billion was misappropriated under his watch. There are many questions  begging for answer, Is there any governor that has gone to prison on allegation of corruption in this country? Where is Adamawa former governor Bala Ngilari that was convicted of corruption ?                The judgement would not hold water, very soon higher court will upturn it.

Malian Spider Man turn down military jobs in his country.

The story of Malian man that rescued a boy that was at the verge of falling off from high rise building is interesting.  After his exploit, he was offered a job in France as fire brigade. Though he was undocumented, he was made citizen of France  The twist to the story is that, Malian President offered him a job in the military . Who could have taken such job, frustrations made him to leave his country in the first place.  If he had seek enlistment in the Military before now in his country he would not have been taken.  Africa should learn to  value what they have. 

Dino Meleaye attends plenary, may ditch APC

 The distinguished Senator Meleaye is now back to the Senate after 3 weeks break. The Senator who is a card carrying member of ruling party APC, has vowed to decamped from the party and pitch his tent with PDP. I doubt it if the senator would be missed by ruling party, they see him as opposition while he is in the party. As 2019 election draw nearer, there will be more cross carpeting from one party to another. Senator Meleaye is now set  to return back to his first love, we wish him best of luck after all party prostitution is not new/

Buhari's 2018 Democracy Day Speech

JAMB Does not Need Capital Votes...........Professor Oloyede.

Professor Oloyede the J,A,M,B registrar stated that the organisation does not require capital votes from the Federal government to run its affairs. It is the first time the organisation would be remitting huge amount of money into government coffers. Professor Oloyede declared that JAMB under him could conveniently pay its bills, the organisation is being run with transparency and accountability. With right people in key position, Nigeria would be great again.

Offa robbery kingpin grouse.

The Offa robbery incidents would not be forgotten so soon, several innocent lives were caught short abruptly. No thanks to Micheal Adikwu and his gangs that unleash terror on the sleepy town, Micheal Adikwu was dismissed from Nigeria police force after he released an armed robber. According to the report, he single-highhandedly  killed 20 policemen because he had score to settle with them, which score ? Recruitment into any security agency should be done meticulously in order not bring on board people like Micheal, for the departed may their soul rest in peace. Micheal would have to dance to music he is playing, I know his life would never remain the same.   

Africa Migrants saved hanging boy in France

Africa migrants act like Spider Man when he rescued hanging boy.; Africa is full of talents

Ajimobi Senatorial Ambition and lack of accountability in our political sphere.

 It goes on and on, from senate to governorship position and planning to return back to the senate. There is nothing wrong in being ambitious, but the problem is how have they been able to impact people that vote them into position of authority. Democracy is the government of the people, most of the time it is not so.Leadership without accountability is a sham. Do we have in place structures that would force past leaders to be accountable for their past leadership roles before seeking for another vacant political position. Come to think of it, are they the only qualify candidate in their constituency? There are one thousand and one candidates that are more qualify yet we keep recycling the same set of people, this democracy is laughable.

JAMB role in conducting recruitment test commendable.

          Aside from conducting examination into Nigeria tertiary institution, JAMB is now playing a big role in recruitment process.  Applicants into Nigeria police force recently wrote examination conducted by JAMB.  The essence of any examination is to test ability of candidates, since JAMB is mediating between applicants and employer we expect transparency in the recruitment exercise.  Only the best is good for us, enough of nepotism and favouritism.

Bauchi Deputy governor resignation, departure from the norm.

                It is strange in our part of the world for any political office holder to resign their appointments.  Nuhu Gidado resignation as Bauchi state deputy governor is strange.  Reason for his resignation is due to waning enthusiasm among other things.  As far as I am concern, he is exceptional, governance should not be by force   We need more of Nuhu in our polity. 

EFCC to Probe Obasanjo $16 billion spent on power.

      Probe into how $16.billions was expended on power has begun.  Administration of Olusegun Obasanjo spent whooping sum on power with nothing to show for it.  It is going to be mother of all probe, nobody is above the law, true democracy should uphold rule of law.  There should not be sacred cow,  at the end of the probe, what is going to happen?  Every single wasted funds should be retrieved back to government coffers by EFCC. 

Ekiti 1.3km flyover bridge, a misplace priority.

Building infrastducures at the expense of human capital development is a sham.  1.3km flyover bridge is good,  but civil servants salaries remain unpaid.  Priority has been misplaced , what purpose does flyover bridge would serve hungry indigenes. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10213902189260235&id=1573991733

Justice for Noura is not negotiable.

                Noura Hussein was sentenced to death by Sudanese court for killing her husband.  She was forced into marriage by her father and uncle.  Having refused sexual advance from the husband, she was raped repeatedly by the husband with the help of husband kinsmen.  Her legal team are fighting hard to upturn the judgement.  Why forceful marriage? Justice for Noura is not negotiable. 

Nigeria nascent democracy.

          Nigeria nascent democracy will clock 19years by May 2018. Our democratic experiment has been laced with obnoxious experience.  We have not started practising democracy in the real meaning of the word.  Elections are still not free and fair,  politicians are more desperate to occupying leadership position  Dividends of democracy is far from the people, corrupt tendencies and brigandage pervades our system.  Our democracy is the most expensive in the world, politics is busiiness and citizens bear the brunt of bad leadership.  When will our democracy outgrow it nascent state?

Court fixed Date to decide Evans fate.

    Evans the notorious kidnapper would no his fate by 26th of June.  He was arrested last year on allegation that borders on kidnapping, murder and some other offences.  Most of his victims witnessed against him, it is obvious he may not go home soon.  Evans was arrested in his house by intelligent police officers and some of his accomplice were also arrested.  On several occasions he complained about maltreatment meted to him by prisons officials.  The law should take its course. 

Effects of Jungle Justice.

A thief  was killed in Lagos, he pleaded to be set free but his tormentors refused. jungle justice was meted out to him. He has been terrorizing the area for a while before he was finally caught, is jungle justice the way forward? One of the reasons why people meted out jungle justice to criminals is because of defective criminal justice system. In the 21st century we still act primitively and government look away, jungle justice encourages break down of law and order and it should be discouraged. Law enforcement agents have a lot to do, taking bribes from condemned criminals in order to set them free encourages act like this. Nigeria is not a Banana Republic.

Why corruption may not stop soon.

Indirectly or directly the masses encourage their leaders to be corrupt, our leaders understand this fact. . Why do we celebrate corrupt politicians? Former governor of Delta State was received heroically into his state after he completed his jail term by impoverish citizens. There was jubilation everywhere in Plateau when court granted the former governor bail. Reason for our lack of development is corruption, the resources that is meant for all is being cornered by few individuals and whenever they are brought to book you will  see poor masses who bear the brunt of bad economy littering the street on a protest fighting for those who should be their enemies, this is difficult to believe, but it is the reality. Corruption will not stop until we stop being receptive to corrupt individual, we should encourage anti-corruption agency to fight corrupt tendencies to a stand still.

Peace Corps bills dead.

      House of representative has finally laid to rest peace Corps bill.  President Buhari earlier failed to assent the bill to law.  Proponent of the bill believe it would provide jobs for teeming unemployed youths.  Many applicants paid lots of money to enroll into the agency, all the money is now gone and hope dashed.  Peace Corps may be duplicating the roles of other security agency.  Jobs creations is a determinant of  a viable economy 

Ambode is above board.

Executive governor of Lagos State Akinwunmi Ambode is above board, his performance as the incumbent governor of Lagos State is second to none. He has been able to transformed the state in a spate of two years, attention has been given to infrastructural development and jobs creation. PDP is now shopping for candidates that would lock horns with Ambode come 2019 . Lagosians more than ever before have resolve to vote massively for Akinwunmi Ambode, he has plans to confront transportation problems headlong by purchasing more than 8000 units buses for efficient transportation in the metropolis. Ambode victory in the forthcoming election would be a landslide .

Road accident kill more than cancer.

                Statistics of road accident released by NBS is staggering.  The statistics revealed that close to 2598 Nigerians lost their lives in road accidents within the spate  of six months. This is huge and it buttress the fact that life expectancy in Nigeria is very low.  Some of these accidents are caused by bad roads , government budget billion of dollars every year for road rehabilitation, yet our road is bad.  FRSC have the mandate to check recklessness on our road, motorist who break traffic rule always bribe their way out.  Road carnage would be reduced if we are ready to do the needful, some of these accidents are man made.  It is obvious road accident kill more than any deadly disease like cancer in Nigeria. 

GRAPHIC VIDEO OF A MAN THAT BUTCHERED HIS WIFE.

A man butchered his lover for the love of money, he skillfully packed the torso in a bucket and headed to the dustbin to thrash the remains before he was caught. The likely reason for this devilish act is inordinate ambition or you can say getting rich at all cost. Now that he has been caught, law would take its full course. GRAPHIC VIDEO HERE. 

EFCC vow to still prosecute corrupt politicians that decamped to APC.

EFCC had vowed to still try politicians that decamped from other parties to join APC.  Every politicians would like to cover their track . Some past governors decamped to APC,  may be they think that they would be exonerated . Law should not be respecter of person party affiliations notwithstanding. 

Obasanjo replied Buhari on fund misappropriation

      After President Buhari made some comments about failure of past administration under Olusegun Obasanjo to provide power after spending $16 billions. The former president Obasanjo would not let it lie low, he had responded through his aides that he is ready for probe. It will be interesting if President Buhari could probe him, nobody should be above the law.                                           Korea president was sent to jail for fraud, Nigeria should not hesitate to probe past leaders, that is the way forward.

Interment of victims of Herdsmen attack painful.

Interment of 17.people killed by herdsmen took place in Benue today.  They were killed right inside the church during mass.  None of the killers has been arrested, these killings is politically motivated. The earlier government nip it in the bud the faster APC government retain people respect.  The burial ceremony was attended by vice President Yemi Osinbajo and other dignitaries.  Security of lives is the key responsibility of government. 

Where is the power? Buhari asked Obasanjo.

This question was pose at the former president Obasanjo by President Buhari.  His administration spent whooping sum of $16b on power. Nigeria economy is bad because of poor power supply, most artisans could no longer practise their trade.  Where is the power? we deserve to know how 16 billion dollars was spent without commensurate result. 

Pedophiles activity and future of children.

A prophet impregnated 10 year old girl,  a 58 year old man defile and impregnated 12 year old.  Pedophiles are on the rampage and more children are falling victims to their ploy. Little children more than ever before are endanger, they have become soft target in the hands of people who have practically lost their mind.  Parents have crucial role to play in protecting their children and ward's from preying pedophiles who is seeking to devour them.  Government should enact strong law that would ensure no pedophiles go unpunished, we can not afford to toy with the future of our children. 

Trumped- up charges pervades our political atmosphere.

As 2019 electioneering draw nearer, we are expected to hear one accusation or another. Issues of one highly place officials trying to frame others has been on the increase. Senator Dino Meleaye has cried to everyone that care to listen that he is being framed up by A.P,C led administration which he is part of. The Senate President Bukola Saraki would not want  to be dragged into unsubstantiated allegations that he is sponsoring some hoodlums recently arrested in Ilorin. He had mention IG of police as the one behind his travails. The current Minister of Mines Engineer Kayode Fayemi is having running battle with incumbent governor of Ekiti State. It is not unusual that " trumped up" charges are flying everywhere, it is a common phenomenon in our political atmosphere.

APC parallel Congress

             That APC had parallel Congress is no longer news.In almost every part of the states where the election took place splinter group existed.  It is obvious politicians are protecting their selfish interest . Like every other state,  Oyo State Congress was in disarray , two Congress went on simultaneously, one of the group is loyal to the executive governor of Oyo state, while other group is loyal to Lam Adeshina faction.  Let us see how far they would go .

New method of drug trafficking revealed.

Drug trafficking thrives in some parts of the world because of financial gains.  Drug dealers have device many ways of carrying prohibited hard drugs.  Some go as far as swallowing hard drugs,  they keep inventing new method. See the video of their new method here https://www.facebook.com/GossipMillNaija/videos/955017001371481/

Dino Meleaye got a reprieve as court adjourned case sine dine.

                   Senator Meleaye will now have reprieve , High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned his Case indefinitely.  By my analysis this may be the end of the case, the senator was alleged to have given firearms to hoodlums to unleash terror on perceived opponent . Justice delayed is justice deny, rule of law should be uphold, no one should be above the law.  Nigeria police should ensure the case is not sweep under the carpet. 

Gunshot victims need no police report.

Aside from Nigeria, is there any country in the world where hospital would demand for police report before treating gunshot victims. It is arrant nonsense. This must stop,  medical practitioners had sworn an oath to protect lives.  They should stabilize the victims first, afterwards they should inform law enforcement agents  Let's stop being primitive. 

Teacher tied up students to the crucifix.

                   This is not the picture of another saviour and it is not a soap Opera.  A school administrators tied up his student to the crucifix for coming late to school..  Corporal punishment is allowed in some of our school,  but I think this is to the extreme.  What was going on in the heart of the teacher when carrying out this ignoble act.  Government should not let this lie low, the culpabilty of everyone involved should be established and they should be punished. 

100 Killed in Cuba Plane Crash.

Our heart goes out to the family of those 100 passengers that lost their lives in a Cuba Plane Crash.  The crash occurred  as soon as the plane took off,  the plane belong to Mexican government.  May their soul rest in peace.Watch the video here  https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2018/05/18/havana-plane-crash.cnn

Arrest of DPO by soldier is an evidence of confused state.

Nigeria soldier would never be friendly with police. They are both security apparatus with different job description.  Most of the men in black are overzealous, there has been many instances of extra-judicial killings. It is the duty of the police to arrest suspect and charge him to court,  the court of competent jurisdiction reserve the right to determine fate of a suspects.;  Police has no right to shoot and kill suspects.After a soldier was mistaken for an armed robber, he was shot and killed by the police.  His colleagues on revenge mission forceful removed the divisional police officer from the station,  only God would tell if the DPO will return home alive.  Lawlessness is not the way forward. 

When politicians empower youths with shoe shinning kits.

Rewards from our representatives may come in different forms. It can be package foods or drinks,  that is what we call stomach infrastructure. They may decide to buy grinding machines for youth empowerment. It is not unusual when a commissioner opted for shoe shinning kits to empower youths. Politicians love to play to the gallery, what sort of empowerment would be derived from shoe kit. We are in the 21st century, yet so many people acts primitively.

Menace of LASTMA officials in Lagos.

LASTMA officials and commercial bus driver popularly called Danfo driver are like cat and dog.  An average Transport Management officers would pray for commercial bus driver to violate traffic law so that they can rip them off.  Often times they misleads motorist in order to fleece them.  Government set up this agency in order to make life easy, they are more after what they would get from traffic offenders than carrying out their mandates.  A decent society would not employed miscreant as traffic officers.Bad eggs among them should be thrown out for us to have saner society.  https://www.facebook.com/GossipMillNaija/videos/953475071525674/

Kenya bridge collapse and attendant lessons to be learnt .

Africa as a whole have the same monster tormenting them, the monster of corruption.A governor in Kenya plunged into river while taking selfie on a poorly constructed bridge which he came to commissioned. It is either the contract is inflated or sub-standard materials are used, most of our roads cave in as soon as heavy rainfall begins. A project that suppose to gulp few millions of naira would not be completed until after billions of naira has been expended. There are many instances of building collapse in some major cities, as long as the building contractors is ready to play games, every necessary documents will be issued out without due  diligence God in His own way must have taught the governor some lessons he would not forget in a hurry..

High tension wire hanged so low endangers human life.

                      Can you see how low these high tension wire is suspended  This is a naked wire and any attempts to touch it accidentally would spell doom.  Do we really value human life? If we do, why would high tension wire hanged so low.  Power company collect maintenance fee from consumers, what are they maintaining? We should not wait until accident happens, we need to be proactive. 

Nigerians and sense of history.

Every now and then users of social media would always have issues to deliberate upon.  The news making rounds some weeks ago was president comments on Nigeria youth.  He was quoted to have called Nigeria youth lazy youth. Before we know what is happening, the news fizzles out.  Dino Meleaye arrest and arraignment in court became subject of discourse.  The news or video that is viral now is supposedly reading inability of IG of police.  Our sense of history has been eroded, as soon as an event overshadow the other,  we forget the old happenings.

IG OF POLICE SUPPOSEDLY BAD READING HABIT IS IMAGE TARNISHING .

The video that is going viral on the social media about IG of police incompetence in pronouncing and reading clearly speech at an occasion could only be true in the imagination of those that concorted the lies. Give a dog a bad name in order to hang it, Nigerians are good at bringing people down.If an error is committed once in pronouncing an English word, why do you think he would keep repeating the same blunder. Constructive criticism is the way forward, bringing people down is anti progressive .

Nigeria politicians will always need police protection.

I sometimes imagine if there is any political office holder from the rank of House of Representative member and above that could move freely without police protection. Who created the level of insecurity we experience today? The moment their security details are withdrawn they feel really unsafe. In a country where 75 percent are either unemployed or underemployed , an average lawmaker earn whooping sum of money. The anti-dote to insecurity is job creations, also unnecessary allowance received by lawmakers should be slashed.They may not likely be free and they would always need police protection if  youths are not fully engage in productive ventures.

Video of armed men capture in Kaduna.

Who are the sponsors of these criminal elements, definitely some politicians armed these young people to unleash terror on hapless individuals. Government should take drastic decision and make sure these criminals ranks are reduced.

Tribute to Late Aisha Abimbola.

Tribute to late Aisha Abimbola, many Noly wood enthusiast call her Omoge campus.It was reported she died in Canada. I could remember my early days in a foremost fast food restaurant on the Island, she was a co-worker, may her gentle soul rest in peace.

Nigeria police method of crime fighting and increase in bank robbery.

                     While police are still investigating robbery incident that took place in Offa, dare Devil robbers struck again in Ilawe Ekiti.  Nigeria police method of crime fighting is archaic, robbers would operate for hours unchallenged and as soon as they live, you will see police in action.  Crime fighting is a serious business and it is not for the Lilly liver,  Nigeria police are well equipped, they should be ready to discharge their duties.  Tax payers money should not be wasted, police should be at beck and call of the masses.

EFCC New quarters and anti corruption fight

                    EFCC new office complex was commissioned some few days ago by President Buhari.  The commission has been able to recover trillions of stolen fund by politicians and corrupt Nigerians.  Government should not only build office complex. they should also build more prisons and rehabilitate existing one.  Judiciary arm of government should also discharge their duty without fear or favour.  EFCC on-going onslaught against Yahoo boys should be sustained, every culprits should be brought to book. 

Lagos Abeokuta road to be rehabilitated.

                   Federal government is set to rehabilitate Lagos Abeokuta way. The construction would be undertaken by Julius Berger.Infrastrcture development  should be a priority for any government.  Kudos to this government for this giant stride, past government have left the road unattended to, including the one who come from that state Rehabilitation of the road would bring succour to inhabitant of the state. 

What emergence of Fayemi would portends for incumbent.

       Without further  Ado Kayode Fayemi is in the political game again. After landslide victory in just concluded APC election.  He had govern the state before, the electorates would have to decide whether to give  him the privilege to govern again or ignore him.  Governor Ayodele Fayose deputy Olusola Kolapo would have to slug it out with more experience Kayode Fayemi.  Emergence of Fayemi as the next governor would make incumbent governor likely go on exile.  In view of this he would do all he could to stop APC candidates.
