Dr. Thomas-Wilson Ikubese is more than SEVEN years ahead of the present day National Assembly as far as knowledge, sophistication and direction in nation building is concerned.

Recently, the National Assembly puts its voice behind State Policing following the disgraceful mobile police protest against unfair treatment by the government of the day. An action that's arguably happening first time in the history of this country. You can read more on the pages of the Newspapers today.

The Presidential aspirant under the Alliance for New Nigeria has written in his Prescription for Nigeria, which he sent to the past President in 2011, the need to implement the state policing policy and make it a working project. He wrote this alongside other suggestions in the brief document back then to give intelligence to the government on how to fix the country holistically. State Policing was just one of the suggestions.

He also pushed the document to the National CONFAB in 2014, many resolutions were drawn from it at the conference but none has been implemented. In 2015, Dr. Thomas-Wilson also presented the document to President Buhari on his assumption of office. But after three years in office, the President recovery growth plan evident in present day government policies and three successive appropriation bills doesn't reflect a readiness to implement the beautiful road map.

It is on the basis of this that he has concluded that the government doesn't seem to be buying into the vision, as such he took the responsibility upon himself to go and implement the agenda BY HIMSELF in Aso Rock as the Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria in 2019 using the same document as his campaign manifesto. (You can read more at www.ikubese.org )

Dr. Thomas-Wilson combines knowledge from working countries and his own working experience as a successful Business man to create his manifesto and its implementation plan.

When I was asked not to compare America with Nigeria but to use Ghana to compare Nigeria in explaining our Roadmap I answered "Why can I use Ghana and can't use America? You might think what I know about both countries is limited to what I see on the TV. But frankly I read other documents on America too and I see their government structures and execution policies - of course, those are not shown on TVs.

So when I draw my inference from the executionary strategy of government affairs in USA, I'm speaking from an informed position.

Presently, National Assembly has given its voice to State Policing, but that might not become a law until five years from now because executionary plans and policy crafting has to be in place to see how the project will be run and how to cover every possible loophole that can arise. (Bearing in mind the politiquing that will also be involved)

America celebrated her Independence Day yesterday, do you know that State Policing is one of the strategies that keep America policing effective and create a safer society both for police and citizens?

In this I say Dr. Thomas-wilson is more than 7 years ahead of the Present day National Assembly in Nigeria as far as Nation Building is concerned.

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
