Some years ago I posted an update on facebook concerning President Buhari when he it was reported that he was ejected by his landlord in Abuja because he could not pay rent.I talked about how a former military head of state could not afford to pay rent in a country where some LGA chairmen have several houses and some state governors have houses in Abuja and even outside Nigeria.I saw the development then as evidence that...
Each time I try to update the campaign promises (92 of them were captured -http://nicaprom.com/promises/profile_promises.php?name=Gen-Muhammed-Buhari-%28Rtd%29&id=30) made by PMB I run into problems because only an uncommon miracle would make any Nigerian president achieve 30% fulfillment of these political campaign promises.PMB rode to the presidency based on his integrity both real and perceived and in my opinion that remains his strongest asset and it is in the president's best interest to protect and defend his integrity.If these...
Biafra Republic existed between 1967 and 1970 This period was when the people of the then Eastern region were forced to secede from Nigeria since the lives of the people from the region could not be guaranteed and protected by the government of Nigeria. Massacres and pogroms were carried out with either connivance or active support of the security forces outside the then Eastern region who did next to nothing to protect innocent civilians especially the...
Some of my Northern friends have defended the lopsided appointments made by President Buhari thus far as they talk about competence and qualification as the yardsticks.I hope the people saying this understand the fact that it is easier to defend a Nigeria with Southerners holding over 90% of the appointments and positions based on academic qualifications and competence than it is to defend a Nigeria with Northerners holding up to 65% of the appointments and positions...
So Biafra is the new cash cow Asari is banking on to remain in the news while hoping for a business opportunity since he cannot talk about marginalization of the Niger Delta after GEJ served as vice president, acting president and president, right? And some Igbo people are excited that Asari is now more Biafran than Niger Deltan? How about a Niger Delta Republic or Kalabari Republic? Abi, hin no like am like that? The fact...
Still on Chief Arthur Nzeribe's earlier anti corruption recommendation - link every asset or property to the owner and let the owner explain the source of wealth or money used to acquire the property.Who steals money without using the money to purchase physical items?This idea of even jobless people suddenly buying cars and houses without anyone (especially family members and friends) asking questions is bad and encourages all sorts of crimes out there by people that...
So, top civil servants are now selling off their choice properties just to escape the eyes of anti corruption agencies?Was it not Chief Arthur Nzeribe that made a recommendation in the Senate when he was a senator that solving the problem of corruption in Nigeria was a very simple thing since all that needed to be done was tie assets and properties to their owners and then ask the owners to explain source of income or...
All from the same man----1. GEJ's government was very corrupt.2. We didn't find any evidence of corruption against GEJ but he should be held responsible for the actions of his people3. Okonjo Iweala diverted money (a response from Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala made nonsense of the allegation)4. GEJ's agricultural reform was a scam (Adesina just rubbished that statement) 5. Jonathan's lootings forced me to secure $75m loan from World Bank -----There is life outside politics and power is...
So the former governor of Enugu state Sullivan Chime sold Ngwo Park and people are building houses there?Must our politicians see selling lands as development when they are not estate agents?Chimaroke sold the Enugu zoo when he was in power. I heard the current governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has a house there.Sullivan sold Ngwo Park, the burial ground near police college with dead people and turned Polo Park to a shopping mall.The politicians that created all those...
