2019: Ikubese consults Obasanjo, vows to unseat Buhari, fix Nigeria

Presidential aspirant, Dr. Thomas-Wilson Ikubese and former Nigerian President, Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo


Ahead of the 2019 general elections, Dr. Thomas-Wilson Ikubese, a presidential aspirant of the National Conscience Party (NCP), who had vowed to unseat Buhari in the next election and fix Nigeria has continued his nationwide consultation at the weekend with a visit to the former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, in his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun state.
Ikubese thanked Obasanjo for speaking the mind of common Nigerians on the street in the letter he recently wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari, urging him not to seek re-election in 2019 because of his unimpressive performance in office.
According to the Ondo State-based medical practitioner, some of the points raised by former President Obasanjo in his letter are some of the reasons why he declared to run for the office of the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria on 24th July 2017, making him the first young person to so openly declare, even before the not-too-young-to-run bill surfaced on the floor of the National Assembly.
“Nigeria needs a youthful, visionary, selfless President in 2019 to save her from the present quagmire,” the presidential aspirant said, stressing his readiness to fix the nation’s many problems.
Dr. Ikubese said any coalition that throws up an “ex-this”, “ex-that” as its Presidential Candidate in 2019 cannot qualify as a “third force” and will be jettisoned by the Nigerian masses who now crave for fresh revolutionary entrants in the Nigerian political space.
Responding, former President Obasanjo thanked Ikubese for being a true representative of the youths, stressing that he will continue to encourage those who want the best for Nigeria to make their own contributions to the development of the country.
Obasanjo stated that the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, which he recently joined, is not a political party, but a movement and that if at any point it translates into a political party, he will cease to be a member.
The Ondo state Coordinator for the Coalition, Ademola Ijabiyi, who was on the entourage to the residence of the former President, said the CNM represents hope for a better Nigeria, commending the decision of Ikubese to run for President at this critical time in the life of the country.

ENCOURAGEMENT The world has enough critics already, be an encourager. Encouragement is something or words that makes someone more hopeful, determined or confident to take certain steps. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, needs only a bit of praise or encouragement ~and we will make the goal.  There comes that certain time when you really need to calm down and think of all the steps you've taken, and the ones you are about to take, and then you come to realise that it's so easy to propose on something you want, you imagine it, and you see it coming through as expected, you strategize your plans and set your targets, these you do mostly at the commencement of a new season or year (just like this time), deep inside of you, you list out things you want, and those you don't want, along side things you will start doing and those you will stop doing, these things are your priority in the early days of the year, they keep ringing

THE MAN CALLED GARRI (Things you don't know about Garri)

Garri, is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day. Someone once shared with me that the businesses that will continue as long as human civilisation remains are those businesses that meet the basic needs of man, i.e. food, clothing, health, and shelter. There is a great sense in this. This is because as long as we are alive, we would require good and quality food, good clothing, good shelter and good health to lead an acceptable level of existence. Nigerian communities must begin to look at developing businesses that can address these basic needs. This is why garri processing plant is one great business opportunity that fits this mould. The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potentia

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURCH (Adebowale Ibukun Tosin)

-
Evidently, several youths are tired of church. The old conservative approach void of serious bible study and training in prayer is too weak to keep them in church. While the sermon is on, many are either on twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp, just chatting away their time. Quite interesting is how some of these young folks attend church only because their parents have made it compulsory. Left to many of them, they would easily boycott church and just have fun by hanging out with their friends or be watching movies at home. So, here's the simple logic... The church doesn't want to lose these guys. They are vibrant, youthful, energetic, and smart. As a matter of fact, it's widely believed that the future of any organisation, nation, even church depends on the youths. So, in a bid to not lose them, many churches would give them what they want. No matter what it takes! I've seen youth vigils that were nothing more than clubs in the name of praise night. All mann
