Memorize the words below and say them to yourself every morning and evening;


Edo state is NOT a Yoruba state
Edo state is NOT a Yoruba state
Edo state is NOT a Yoruba state.

Stop annexing, Land grabbing and coveting other people's land.
Stick to the five SW villages you call states.

I've said this so many times "With a gun to Oshiomhole's head, he can never submit Obaseki's name to INEC as the party's flag bearer in Edo State."

One of two things will happen.

Lagos state scenario or Zamfara state.
One of these must happen.

That was how they gave us the so called polls during his first term bid. Trump will Triumph Again

BENARI:
It's no longer news that President Trump is bent on reopening the American economy and for this he has garnered a lot of support from the American people. It is also public knowledge that he has been heavily criticised for this and accused by many of putting the economy ahead of the lives and safety of his people.

But pause for a moment and just think, is Trump really that stupid and insensitive, or is there more to his strong desire to reopen the economy?

Well, I'm incapable of reading Trump's mind and I wouldn't attempt to interpret his motives. But let us take a critical look at our own situation here in Nigeria in dealing with the pandemic and see if it can help us get into President Trump's mind(just maybe).

We are now in the fourth week of President Buhari's lockdown order, as a matter of fact, for some, it's now been 6 or 7 weeks since they've been locked in at home for fear of contracting the Virus. Since the start of the President Buhari declared lockdown, many Nigerians have complained about thier inability to provide for themselves and thier families, and in the last 2 weeks, that complain has grown louder, resulting in protests, looting, and armed robbery.

While some might dismiss those engaged in this activities as criminals and unpatriotic, the fact remains that for most Nigerians, survival is a day by day affair, with most earning barely enough to meet the needs of one day at a time. The lockdown has without doubt made life and survival near impossible for most.

In the United States and other western countries, their governments have put in place palliative measures to cater for the immediate needs of thier citizens for the time being, but even that is not sustainable in the long run unless they can somehow find a way to reopen the economy at least partially. In Nigeria however, you know the story as much as I do, perhaps better.

My point Is, if the lockdown is further extended as is already looking likely, we might end up dealing with an outcome that might be worse in comparison to the covid19 pandemic. Already, yesterday, the United nations world food program estimates that unless something is done urgently, 300,000 people will die daily from hunger and starvation, 300,000 lives daily. At this rate 9,000,000 lives will be lost monthly, and most of this numbers will be from Africa.

It now seems to me that we are now in the proverbial "between the devil and the deep blue sea". Unless a cure is discovered soonest(I earnestly pray so), I have bad news; we will have to headlong come to terms with this deadly plague. We will have to come to terms with the fact that lives will be lost, people will perish unfortunately . But what is the alternative? The alternative is that we keep extending the lockdown which is clearly in my view, ineffective as we can see from the daily spread of the disease to more and more states of the country. But then this alternative will have consequences, some of which I have touched on earlier. Many more people especially children will starve to death, crime rate will skyrocket, jobs will permanently be lost as many businesses may never recover, anarchy will surely result, and what is more, our economy may take many years to recover, if at all. If for anything, this alternative, this solution will be far worse than the problem it is meant to solve; does that statement sound familiar? President Trump has repeatedly stated that the solution can not be worse than problem(even though he contributed to the problem in his country at least).

At this point, I'll love to think that maybe, just maybe, we have an idea why President Trump is or isn't making sense by calling for the reopening of the economy.

So what do think; should the lockdown be extended?

Let's share our views on this.
