There is this road between Alausa and 7UP in Ikeja (can't remember the name now). All the solar powered street lights that were installed by the previous administration (Fashola's) have been taken down and replaced with regular street lights that will work with PHCN or a generator (if need be) by the current administration (Ambode's). Yet, solar powered street lights are better, cost effective and the future. But, due to the failed solar powered street light...
OBJ relaxed to a great extent the land use act and anyone claiming that the reason why our governors cannot do much is because of the FG position is not being factual. Last week while in a Enugu I heard something very positive from a former commissioner who is still active in government concerning a meeting a foreign company had with the former Enugu state governor concerning the coal deposits in Enugu state. He said the...
---- The groups that were represented at the summit included the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), the Yoruba Unity Forum (YUF), the Oodua Foundation, Afenifere, the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), the Coalition of Yoruba Autonomy (COYA), the Oodua Democratic Coalition (ODC), the Ominira Yoruba Apapo, and the Agbekoya Organisation. ---- When serious issues are on the table serious minded people will show up and discuss the issues. I hope those shouting Biafra Biafra from their rooms,...
We are in a mess in this country and this APC led government will destroy whatever is left of this country with stupid and silly lies, propaganda and fabrications. There is this news about Nigeria Army nabbing a fake army general and boko haram sponsor that flooded the social media yesterday. I remember reading something similar many months ago and a simple search on google brought up the exact same story that was first published in...
It took Putin's no nonsense position on ISIS in Syria to deal the terrorist group serious blow and Nigeria is still talking about US support in the fight against Boko Haram? Without wars, avoidable wars for that matter the US and Britain will have financial problems (apart from the fact that these 2 countries are heavily indebted as I write this) because their arms and weapons manufacturing industries would suffer. If we are serious about fighting...
GEJ claimed that powerful Northerners were supporting Boko haram and frustrating the FG's war on Boko haram. The FG under GEJ went further to claim that the US was frustrating the war on boko haram. He was called a weak leader who could not arrest the sponsors while others claimed he was the person sponsoring boko haram. Now, Nigeria Army under President Buhari have repeated the same thing about powerful Northern elders and Western nations using...
When some of us warned that GEJ contesting the 2011 presidential election (not to talk of the 2015 presidential election) was wrong and that it would hurt the Igbos (who gave him massive support) more that it would hurt even his own people we were called names. I remember being called pro North, Yorubanized Igbo man, pro Islam etc by mostly ignorant and unintelligent people who couldn't see beyond their noses. Now that the damage has...
He may not be perfect, he may not be the best but he is honest about his views and positions on issues unlike overwhelming majority of his supporters who are simply put, chronic liars and dangerous propagandists!!! Each time President Buhari speaks you get to hear something different, sometimes radically different from what his supporters and APC people have been trying to deceive Nigerians with. Let President Buhari engage Nigerians more, we are tired of all...
We have made meaningful progress over the last couple of months on this issue of lies, misinformation and propaganda concerning APC. Now even the most ardent supporters of APC admit that indeed APC used lies, misinformation and propaganda to deceive Nigerians in the last presidential election. This is a wonderful development because you cannot be talking about forgiveness without admitting guilt. However, there is an interesting angle my APC friends are bringing to the table -...
