The supreme court ruling on Wike encouraging

Supreme court judges are not fools and they have their careers and names to protect so even if the president wants the supreme court to give judgement in any matter brought before the court the case must be such that you have a 50-50 chance of the verdict going either way. But when the case is straight forward especially when there are similar cases that have been concluded already using specific logic and reason all the...

You cannot successfully fight corruption when security votes remain an integral part of our political system

If prayers by imams and community leaders could help maintain peace and prevent loss of lives and properties then it means the NSA would have delivered on guaranteeing peace and security if the ONSA reached out to these people and even paid them, not so? So, when we say money was given out to religious leaders for prayers and the prayers worked as we conducted general elections in the North East without problems and attacks what then...

Fight crime by fighting poverty

When jobs are lost and businesses shut down more and more people cannot guarantee what they will eat to remain alive whether as the bread winners or dependents and what this means is that more and more people will take to crime to survive because you don’t expect active men and women to sit at home and starve to death just because they cannot get jobs or start a business of their own. Now, does it...

The society has a role to play in the fight against corruption

A poor man that does odd jobs to survive and feed his family has integrity and deserves to be respected by the society. A rich man that steals other peoples money and drives the best cars, lives in a mansion and wears the most expensive clothes is nothing but a thief that should be despised and ostracized by the society. In Nigeria, a lot of people don’t even bother to know or question the source of...

Commonsense is not that common and I will tell you why

When some patriotic Nigerians complained about the disregard to court orders and the need for the government to respect the decisions of the courts some of the perpetual defenders of everything APC called the people asking sensible questions names. Today, a judge has asked magistrates to stop granting remand orders from EFCC. You cannot use illegality to deal with illegality. I am yet to see any sane Nigerian that supports corruption at least openly yet I...

Inconsistent forex policy from CBN harming businesses

What will happen to all the businesses that folded or packed up due to the forex restriction that just got relaxed by the CBN? Will they get any help from the FG? When small businesses suffer the economy will definitely suffer because they are the main engine room for development. To grow an economy we don’t need inconsistent policies and we shouldn’t encourage any form of trial and error by the policy makers.

What is the need for formal education if the product cannot rise above the level an illiterate is operating from?

I feel very sad when I see a Nigerian graduate thinking, reasoning, arguing and analyzing issues like an illiterate. What’s the need for formal education if the product cannot rise above the level an illiterate is operating from? Why waste at least 15 years of your first 20 years acquiring education you obviously do not need when you could have become an expert mechanic, carpenter, native doctor or bricklayer? Some people pass through school but school...

Critics are nation builders whereas praise singers are nation destroyers

Critics have a much higher value than praise singers will ever have so any government that wants to perform well must pay attention to criticisms and test them for validity and ignore or even caution senseless perpetual praise singers that lack the capacity to even understand the difference between right and wrong. Critics are nation builders. Praise singers are nation destroyers. Anyone that praises your every action whether right or wrong should be avoided because such...

Most Nigerians are pretenders

We pretend a lot in Nigeria and at the end of the day we usually suffer the consequences. We refused to condemn 419 when it was seen as just another avenue of making money until it started affecting us negatively. We sort lecturers and even pay invigilators to help our kids in school exams then turn around to accuse and blame government for the poor system of education we have. Rather than get proper drivers and...
