IS NIGERIA A JOKE? By Thomas-Wilson Ikubese

Image
Thomas-Wilson Ikubese You collect money from Politicians to cast Your ballot. You collect from right, left and cast Your vote for the highest bidder. You look away from young, credible  candidates with visionary, developmental  ideologies and a break from the past because they have no money to share and cast Your vote for the Old Brigades who You know very well, have nothing new to offer. You rain curses on them in Your closet and yet vote for them in the open after collecting peanuts, ignoring the better alternatives that starred You in the face! Do they owe You any explanation when they get into office? Did they not get into office on the depth of their pocket and the benevolence of their politricks? So, would they not recoup their "investment" and make profit from their "see and buy"? Daily You cry that Nigeria is not working. Daily our children die on the high seas and in the deserts, attempting to escape from a non-functional system. Dai

AFFABLE2019 FORMALLY DECLARED TO HIS SUPPORTER TO CONTINUE IS POLITICAL AMBITION IN LABOUR PARTY Ayokunle Ajike-Adedeji (AFFABLE 2019) Mr. Ayokunle Ajike-Adedeji popularly called by admirer and supporters affable2019 an aspirant to the Ondo State House of Assembly from Owo Constituency I, formally take his exit from the National Conscience Party yesterday.

FG deploys 30,000 police troop to Ekiti for the coming July 14 Gubernatorial election. - Dailies.

If the state was viable, having an adequate security structure, why does it need 30,000 troops in special deployment for election day? It will not need 500 additional troop to keep itself alive for election, if it were viable. These deployments of troops "is" what bloat up the budget. During these times, the police who are deployed "smiles", and of course several Commissioners and IG's will smile during those times. I think they call that thing "security vote". Governors too smile, but at those times other civil servants (which are in the majority small) will be owed salaries. So our democratic process is militarized, that's the sole implication. When there are 30,000 armed men loyal to the FG, there can't be freedom of expression of those who have a mind against the FG, except the opponent is also able to match the FG's strength either in the number of people with the equal amount of will to see to it that the FG fails or in counte

I am not concerned for the President of Nigeria and how he repeatedly performs below par in everything.

Image
Ayobami Ogedengbe What I am concerned with are the youths that retweet his words in the hope of probably communicating that their president makes sense this time. Even in the post, you will see what they are trying to make sense from and you will marvel at how the glaring ineptness even in the statement (which is usually a damage control) escapes them. It is the most discouraging plight for me in Nigeria. To see a Nigerian youth who claims to be intelligent praising President Buhari. It will show me the height of ineptness in their own life that they don't know what manner of sophistication is expected of a President. Even if you want to be wife to the Prince of Kent, if you're not born into a Royal family, you'll go through a process of training to ensure that you are equipped to exude royal ambience. Take the selection of Queen Esther under King Xerxes in ancient Babylonian empire. It was a One year training on conduct before the king - both beauty treatment

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 assumptio

LIFE: A RACE AND A MYSTERY (AINA OMOWUMI ADENODI)

Life, a race and a mystery. Aina Omowumi adenodi  Dost thou love life?, then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. In a race, time counts so much, no matter how swift you are, if you cannot beat the time, it's of no relevance. Only those who can beat the time breaks record, which is also applicable to life generally, being early in life counts and being late also has it own count. We all are in the race, but few understands that there are prizes to be won in the race of life, your achievements, your success, your impact determines your placement and prizes in life. The mystery of life is so much attached to age and ageing, achievement is not by age, so many things that you can do now, why not do it?, it's not a must to attain a particular age to attain exploits, so many opportunities are wasted today because of age, your age does not really matter in attaining heights in life, your size, likewise does not matter.  Be challenged and motivate

A home or society that is bereft of men who can function in all of these capacities is plagued for failure.

Today is Fathers' Day. Ayobami Ogedengbe There are Three major aspects where we need to evaluate our fatherhood in our society. Our place in the Home as the teacher and chief instructor of our household, Our place in the society in administrative capacities to the highest point in governance being the presidency or king or queen or prime minister or supreme leader (depending on the system of government) and in spiritual leadership. A home or society that is bereft of men who can function in all of these capacities is plagued for failure. Until men rise and lead first, their homes; they can't administer properly and they can't minister properly. A Father must be able to build his home with the requisite knowledge for godly behaviours. The Father must be the first teacher and actor of the principles of integrity, honesty, faith, love, diligence, orderliness and purpose. He must show his family care, model sacrifice and model service. When children pick this fr
