The attention of Hon Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde has been drawn to a press statement issued by one Segun Ajiboye,who is the Chief press secretary to the Ondo state governor, asking security agencies to look into the "confessions" of the Ex-SSG.

It is a pity that in a state noted for its educational excellence, the only person the governor could employ as his chief press secretary is a man with obvious comprehension difficulty.

Since Hon Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde resigned from the Akeredolu led anti-people government there has been a ferocious attempt in the media to disparage and denigrate the pro-masses personality of Hon Ifedayo Abegunde.

For the records, the statement made by Hon Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde that "Akeredolu did not win the election we won the election for him" is clear enough for anyone who wants to use his brain.

It is a time tested fact that winning an election require more than the effort of the candidate. An election is won by the collective efforts of members of a party.

Crest FM, the station to which the interview was granted has done a repeated broadcast of the interview so as to ensure that the message is not misinterpreted.

The Station has also gone a step further by announcing repeatedly that Hon Ifedayo Abegunde did not say the 2016 governorship election was rigged in the interview he granted them.

As Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu's electoral Waterloo beckons we will advise him to stop chasing shadows and pay attention to the plight of the people who brought him into power.

Arakurin Should please concentrate on paying the leave bonuses of civil servants in the state and resolving the issues of the residents doctors in the state, who are currently on strike for non payment of their hazard allowances, which could have been prevented, so as to avoid the avoidable loss of human lives.

Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu Should also seat with his friend Tunji Abayomi, to figure out how the staff of Adekunle Ajasin University will be paid, as our people really can't understand why any staff of the school should be owed when the school fees is 8 times higher than it was four years ago.

The real danger to democracy, is the bundle of contradiction sitting as a governor in Alagbaka, who has turned a government that is supposed to be for all Ondo state people to a government for himself alone. A man who is a senior advocate but always prefers cutting corners to doing things legitimately. It is on such a personality, the security agencies should beam their searchlight and wait for him to be kicked out of government for proper prosecution.

Finally, we urge the people of our beloved state to remain firm in the struggle to send this
failure disguised as governance out of the Alagbaka government house.

Alaba Adeyemi
Media Assistant to Hon Ifedayo Abegunde

The secretary to the Ondo state Government Hon Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde has advised ladies not to get married without any source of income. He said this on Tuesday while addressing a section of party women leaders from Akure who came to pay him a courtesy visit at his Alagbaka residence in Akure Ondo state.

"The economy of our nation demands a family to have multiple sources of income so as to ensure that daily needs are met as and when due. Women should work to assist in the upkeep of the home" explained

"Those of you who have female children who are about to get married should ensure that they have a means of survival before doing so. A girl either educated or not without any source of personal income has no business getting married"

He encouraged the women to continue to be good mothers and wives in their various homes and to continue to support the government in ensuring that the dividend of democracy is brought to the people.


Abegunde also used the opportunity to thank the women for their support in the past.

Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde Who is the secretary to the Ondo state government has said that Only God can fully understand the nature of women.

He said this while addressing a cross section of his women supporters in Akure on Tuesday .

Abegunde Who spoke in a combination of English and Yoruba thanked the women for their unflinching support for the All progressive Congress APC at all times.

He described women as sophisticated creature that should be honoured and marvelled at as only the creator of the universe can fully understand them.

"Women are special, you are unique beings,Only God can fully understand you. Women should be worshipped not beaten and punched in a the face"

He futher went Biblical when he said " according to the Bible women are the last creations of God, the last is the latest and the latest is usually the best"

He also used the medium to advise parents to ensure that their daughters are economically empowered before marriage so as to prevent needless suffering.

Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde is one of the most admired politician in Ondo state. As much as he is admired, like every successful human being he has also made a reasonable number of adversaries for himself.

His admirers are and unflinching his foes are vicious. Everyone seems to be stuck to his gun.

Before he was appointed as the secretary to the Ondo state government alot of people came up with all kinds of stories which ended up as lies.

One of Such lies was that he was not educated that he only travelled to the United States to drive cabs.

While he admitted driving cabs in the United States he however explained that he used the cab driving to finance his University education up to masters degree level in the field of architecture. He also got certification in computer networking with which he worked with the state of Maryland as the officer in charge of the state security database before returning to Nigeria.

After his appointment by the governor a popular online news medium published a story where Hon Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde was said to have allegedly slapped his police security Aide. The story is completely untrue for many reasons.

The name of the said officer was not mentioned although the newspaper claimed to have interviewed one of the officers at the scene who is also unknown.

From the way the story is written it is obvious that the reporter was not at the event neither did he have a credible eye witness to mention. The whole news was a badly written script that can only fool an idiot .

No other credible news platform published the story which is very unusual.It goes to show that the story is imaginary

The state police public relations officer said the event did not happen, the security aide said it didn't happen yet someone sitting in the corner of his house believed it happened.

The only person who was interview was one human Rights lawyer Who was neither at the venue of the event nor had any evidence to prove that the event even took place. This is why Nigerian activities are not taken seriously because most of the struggle is sentiment and not substance.

How would a lawyer jump into collusion with fact if not to,as they say sound "woke"?

The most amazing thing about it all is that everyone knows that it is a lie brew from the wicked and imaginary brewery of the reporter whom I believe is sponsored to write such lies

The secretary to the Ondo State government Hon Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde reaveled a secret about his upbringing last weekend when a group of youth from Akure paid his a courtesy visit at his residence in Akure.



While encouraging the youths to be hardworking and focused Abegunde who holds a master’s degree in achitecture told them about how he fried AKARA at the popular SO junction in Akure before traveling to the United States where he had to wash dishes to pay his school fees.




“My parents,who fortunately are still alive today were peasant farmers yet they encouraged me to work hard and never give up on my
dream.Hardwork is not a crime like a lot of people believe today”he decleared




Ifedayo Abegunde had been elected twice as a member of the house of Representatives before his appointment as the secretary to The state government in 2017.

After his OND he worked briefly with a construction company before traveling to the United States of America where he studied for an associate degree in In architecture at the Miami day college.

He then proceeded to earn a degree in architecture at A and M University Florida.

His hunger for education took him to Morgan state University for his master's degree in architecture .

Not fully satisfied he took interest in the then emerging ICT sector where he studied and earned himself various certification in system networking.

BACKGROUND

He acted as the secretary of the National Democratic Coalition NADECO, the association which was at the forefront of the struggle for the restoration of the Mandate given to MKO Abiola by Nigerians.

When Nigeria returned to democratic rule he returned to Nigeria, contested and won election into the house of Representatives where he represented Akure North and South federal constituency from 2003 to 2007.

Sometimes in 2017 one of my friends from Akure ORIMOLOYE IFEOLUWA , informed me that one of his friends has just been elected as the president of the student body at the faculty of social sciences, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife. Until that time i have never met Busayo and Busayo has never met Hon. Ifedayo Abegunde.





Busayo wanted me to take him to Hon. Abegunde being the Akure man in the highest position in the state government. I promised to help him. On the appointed day i was not in town i instructed a friend to help me take Busayo and his colleagues to Abena's house because I already knew that he keeps an open door policy. You don't really need to book an appointment to see him.







To cut the story short Hon. Abegunde accepted to be the guest speaker at the induction ceremony of the faculty. They used the opportunity to tell him about their water challenges and he promised to do something about it.







Silently the project has been executed and delivered. No unnecessary press coverage, no pointless noise making. Till now i have not met Busayo but i know he will be happy to call himself an Akure man. I was told he bragged to his friends that if they go to Akure they will find someone who will get the problem solved. That is the Akure spirit.



We are proud of your exemplary leadership. Akure a gbe ooooooo Amen.

OPEN LETTER TO ALHAJI ALI OLANUSI
Dear Baba,
I write in response to the petition written by a group called Concerned Leaders of APC to the National Leadership of the Party on the alleged role played by Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, his Deputy, the State Chairman of the Party and the Secretary to the State Government in the February 23rd Presidential and National Legislature Elections. The petition was reportedly signed by you.
Baba, to allow yourself to be used to do a shameful job at your age is not only shameful but also mirrors your desperation to stay relevant in a political game where you should have honourably retired.
I want to believe that you did not write that petition with your own hands however the fact that you signed it made you culpable. The fact that you alone signed it also shows that you are alone and no longer commands any form of relevance and if that is not true it shows that the allegation of selfishness and egocentrism levelled against you by your principal Dr. Olusegun Mimiko was not a figment of his imagination buy a true reflection of your character which you have found a way to bury under a subterfuge of a quiet look.
The language of your petition sounds like the rancorous rambling of a drunken man. I have read through it and I have found no substantial evidence in the entire write-up. As an elder did you call the Governor when all the events you alleged was taking place?
Baba, to the best of my knowledge you were alive and well when the National Leadership of the Party went against all Principle of Internal Democracy to handpicked candidates for all the Senatorial Districts in the State. I am “concerned” that you did not show your Elderly concern until now. Why do you always prefer to play the Alabosi style of politics?
I remember vividly that you were a part of the Akoko Committee that could not pick a consensus candidate for the Governorship Election and I remember Gani Muhamed Ajowa calling you a leader that is not unifying. Now I get it.
One of the good things that this government is noted for is its financial transparency. To allege that the Governor diverted the funds for the election is outright deceit. It is true that when the governor could not get the National Leadership of the Party to test the popularity of their handpicked candidates in a Primary Election within the party, he could not prevent the aggrieved candidate from trying their luck elsewhere. It is not true that he used the Party’s money or any money whatsoever to support them.
Alhaji as an elder that is “concerned” you should be seriously “concerned” about why the leadership of the party to whom you have allegedly shown your concern prefers imposition to Primary Election. It is my believe that any member of the party who has constitutionally met the requirement of the party should be allowed to test his popularity. It does not matter even if only him voted for himself.
You accused Agboola Ajayi of supporting AA. Ah Baba, I am a Christian and the Bible says that “grey hair is a crown” but you are wearing your own upside down. An Elder should not be telling Ojukoroju (barefaced) lies.
Not satisfied your cornered Ade-Adetimehin into the game. Do you think any candidate could have beaten the candidate of the SDP in Idanre with his youthful appeal and huge financial war chest? Especially when the National Leadership of the Party decided to impose a grossly unpopular and non performing candidate of the Party. The candidate Baderinwa white is publicly known as one of the House of Representatives member who went to the green chamber to admire others talk without talking.
Finally when you had nothing more to say you mentioned the name of Hon. Ifedayo Abegunde. You alleged that he supported PDP. Baba you were once the Chairman of PDP in this State and I know you will still have some of your old colleagues in the Party (at least Omolade Oluwateru is still there). Call them and ask if Hon. Abengude gave their party any breathing space in Akure.
PDP won the Reps seat in Akure because it presented an extremely popular and generous candidate while the APC imposed one Afe Olowookere whose stinginess is legendary and unparallel. Olowookere name was submitted to INEC despite the fact that a Primary Election has been conducted and won by one Jimi Faloye. The Primary was conducted in the presence of INEC before the National Leadership of the Party produced Olowookere from the backdoor. His loss was colossal. A court of competent jurisdiction letter disqualified him but that was after the did has been done.
Alhaji, as an elder your greatest contribution to the party should not be to see it become a den of robbers but to ensure that the National leadership of the Party no longer use the State chapter of our Party as testing ground for unusual political experiments. Ondo State people are people of dignity we are not lab rats.
I pray that the Almighty Allah will give you long life and good health to re-write this grievous error you have committed.
Assalam Alekun.

Woman Slumps, Dies In Ondo Politician House.

Trouble strucks on tuesday in Akure when an old woman, madam Oloye slumped and died in the house of the Ondo State Special assistant to the governor on Multilateral matters, Bunmi Ademosun.

Madam Oloye had gone to Ademosun's house with her daughter funke Oloye to beg her to forgive Funke whom Ademosun had recently suspended on the allegation that she has been telling everybody including her political opponents about her fetish lifestyle.

A source that spoke to our reporter on a condition of anonymity said " When the old woman met with Ademosun and begged her , Ademosun went into a serious rage and began to shout at the top of her voice, the old woman slumped and died on the spot".

" This is the second time somebody will slumped and die in that house in less than 12 months. only God knows what she has put in her mouth that if she shouts on people they die. If you ask me; i would say this looks like some form of extremely potent Afose" the source concludes.

Attempts were made by some powerful element in Akeredolu's government to ensure that the news did not get out because of the implication of such news on the image of the governor who is currently struggling for political survival within his party and a second term in office which has become extremely tricky has the chief medical director of the state specialist hospital in Akure was immediately dispatched to the scene of the incident to make the incident look natural.

Efforts made by our reporter to get Ademosun's side of the story proved abortive as she did not pick all her calls.

COPIED.

ON Akungba

When Adekunle Ajasin University's school fees was increased I took my time to listen to both sides of the debate for and against the increment and both sides seems to have cogent points.

Nevertheless there is a story which made me decide which side to support. It's the story of my friend Alaba Adeyemi .

Ten years ago Alaba wrote the UME as it was then and scored 262 .He also scored 73 in the Post-UME .He applied to study Mass communication a course with the Jamb and Post jamb cut-off of 200 and 60 respectively.

However he never went to Akungba
The school fees was beyond his reach .his father had died two years before and the mother was poor and sick.The school fees was less than #25,000.

The average Nigerian is hardworking but extremely poor. A manual labourer in Akure earns 1500 per day.The work in question could start as Early as 8am and end at 6pm. Less than five dollars for a job of ten hours.

My friend never went to any university and never bothered to write any Jamb exam again .He settled for a polytechnic part-time program.


The truth is when we push up school fees like we did with Akungba we may seem to be making the school economically viable but we are denying some of our future best mind the opportunity to be useful to themselves and the society.

In a developing country like ours the idea that a school will be economically stable only if the school fees is pushed beyond the reach of young and brilliant students like Alaba is wrong.

The minister of power,works and housing of the Federation Raji Fashola admitted yesterday thatthere was zero implementation of capital project. This means that non of the capital projects captured in the 2017 Bugdet was executed. This means he and his people were getting paid for doing nothing.



This is one of the reasons we must renegotiate the present structure we call a country. This single fact shows that the Federal government is taking the lion share of our national wealth and does nothing.




Jebba to Mokwa road is arguably one of the most economically significant road in Nigeria yet that road remains a sadistic death trap.




While state governors struggle to pay salaries and do capital projects with the little they get, the Federal government is seating on top of a mass of wealth yet it is doing nothing. The excuses provided by Fashola is not genuine. In a saner climes he would have tendered his resignation letter for such incompetence.




We must renegotiate this structure. There is a need for a just and equitable fiscal federalism to be put to be put in place. If it is obvious that the states will do better if they get more funds. How can the man who earns more than 50% of the pay seat down and do nothing for a whole year while the ones with less than 30% are sweating in the harsh blazing economic weather.

The fact that president Donald J. Trump is not a normal everyday guy is not debatable. He is a man who seems not to be trained in the basic etiquette of training is apparently wayward tongue.




When he made reference to African countries as SHITHOLES a lot of Nigerians clapped back with unprecedented fury and anger. If Nigerians had their ways they would cease to exist immediately.



I am however happy to inform you that after the necessary examination and soul-searching devoid of parochial sentiment I have reached a conclusion that the current state of our country(and continent) qualifies it as a shithole.




This country was not designed to be a shithole. In fact our forefathers (I speak as a Yorubaman here) are people of culture and dignity willing to aspire for growth and knowledge in any form as far as it doesn't contravene the basis tenet of their OMOLUABI ethics.




A country where killers of children and women come on TV to rationalize, slice and dice it. IS A SHITHOLE, a country where ethnic bias has been up graded to a level hardly seen anywhere IS A SHITHOLE, a country where human lives mean nothing to the people in power IS A SHITHOLE.



School certificate questions are hawked like moimoi on the internet, in fact most of those people claiming to pass WAEC at one sitting actually cheated their ways to earn those grades.




Crime is cheap but death is cheaper here. No one including the president knows what will happen to the economy of this country in the next six months.




Those who are currently going to school to study Engineering will most likely end up as a bead maker or some kind of immergency make up artistes and event planners.



Most of those insulting DONALD TRUMP are those who either run away from the harsh condition of our collective "SHIT HOLE" or those who will not trust a Nigerian hospital with the treatment of a mild malaria if they are the patient.



Abey we should all take this statement as a reason to make us work harder to make our country and continent work. That is all I have to say.

One of the lies we use to tell ourselvesis that the British are the cause of our problems. Yes! on the surface it seems true. The slave trade, the unholy marriage of strange bed fellow, the invisible pulling of strings after independence are some of the things we quickly point to and those things are true.




However, is Great Britain behind our inability to fix our roads? Did the British stop Buhari from seeing to it that world class hospitals are built across Nigeria? having survived the shame of going abroad for almost six months to treat himself.



Did the British pad 2016 budget or are they responsible for the non implementation of the 2017 budget?



Did El-Rufai receive instruction to pay those who killed the people he swore to protect from the British?


Was it the British who instructed the National University commission (NUC) to budget a paltry sum of 8 million Naira for research?




Saudi Arabia was colonised, UAE was colonised, China was at a time colonised so the excuse of blaming a colonial master more than have a century after he left is an insult on common sense.


We need to begin to take the blame for our own failures, that is what reasonable people do.

Bilyain was stabbed to death by his wife one Nkechi Bianze took it upon herself to call the wife killing husband a revolution.


Nkechi is well educated or so I presume she appears to me to be somebody who is troubled by some ravenous and insensible demon of personal melancholy.



If I were not a Christian I would have said that Nkechi's look alone could make the 401 gods in Yoruba land ask if a number 402 just joined the spirit.



Obviously she must have been a product of dysfunctional home training. The reason we all bear a surname is to give some credits to those who trained us well and to knock those who trained their children badly.




There is a need to seek out the man who brought up Nkechi and take him for some mental examination. Nkechi looks to me like a woman who grew up under a beastly father taking a pound of flesh from the society.





Unfortunately, she has a large number of sheepish followers whose brains are too weak to think the practicability and necessity of most of her purile writing through.


I am not angry with Nkechi, In fact I pity her and I wished that the money wasted on her to acquire the grammar she is using to unleash her evil agenda from the pit of a debased mind had been used to treat children dying of preventable disease across Africa.

When they kill you they are either foreigners that can't be traced or can be traced and paid to stop killing you by those who swore and are paid to protect you.




When you eventually gets tired of all the nonsense civilization and decide to be as barbaric as nature allows you by attacking and killing their beasts.


a group of people will emerge as their representative with a lawyer and a president general.


For 20marks.

Who are they?


For 30marks


What is the name of the association?

The man has finally left the All Progressives Congress APC for maybe PDP lest we forget he has not committed a crime he has a right to move around as much as he wants.


Was he fairly treated in the APC ? No



Does he have a chance to be fairly treated in the future? No.



This man has been trying to become the president of this country before Obasanjo joined politics.


Atiku Abubakar is a Fulani like Buhari. He is the son of a Fulani herdsman. That also qualifies him as a "Fulani herdsman".



Atiku is one of the reasons Obasanjo is still not the president today.


Is Still Corrupt?


It depends on your definition. In Nigeria white is not white and black is not always black enough.

However, if corruption is what it means most of you reading this will be in jail.

If you are one of those people who gets angry everytime you see the western media portray Africa in general or Nigeria in particular as a backward place and her people as a punch of savages you are not just an idiot but a self deceiving bigot. You will not make heaven.



If you have lost your thinking cap the shape of which I don't know, you better go and look for it. Take a prescribed dosage of chill pills and think!



In the last two months there has been about five communal attacks across the country where at least 50 human lives have been wasted in a most barbaric manner. No culprit is standing trial for the act as far as I know.


Ours is a country where a bunch of people can wake up one day take up arms and wipe out an entire community and no arrest will be made by the same security agencies whose modus-operandi is to harass innocent civilians day in day out.



There are still communities where people walk around naked in our country today. We are still backward enough to have a governor who arrogates Meningitis to sexual sin. If we had watched it in films we would have felt the producer is only been mischievous.



The country is currently saddled with a leader whose greatest achievement in office is staying alive. Yet is planning to contest again against another man who is inordinately ambitious to become the president for reasons known to him.



There are more than 30 million kids roaming our streets without future, without education, without hope. if you get shot today as you are reading this post. there is 95 percent possibility that your killer will never be brought before a judge to explain his complicity.



If you have a girl child who has the misfortune of being beautiful, you are in trouble. She will not only be sexually harassed and molested in school, out of school, in the streets, when she needs a job and when she needs to pee in a dark corner around your house by people old enough to be her father. She will be lucky if she is not eventually raped before she hits the age of 25.


Now begin to think, aren't we a bunch of Savages?

When some Chibok girls were set free sometimes ago and they could not speak English, alot of people from the south were going about insulting the Northerners for their poor education system. The Kaduna teachers revelation has also made some Southerners to insult the northerners but they are actually the fool.


The reality is, there are schools in the southwest, I mean secondary schools where you won't find two (2) students who can string together 10 correct sentences in English language. There are less than five (5)teachers teaching all subjects. The reason they are passing is that Exams malpractice is rampant and it is properly organised.



If the need arises to mention names I will,but no one should mock the northerners if no serious thing is done the south will arrive where the north is today in twenty years.




I say it without any sense of fear that at least 60% of WAEC results produced in Nigeria today are fraudulently obtained. There are websites where Exams questions and answers for O'level exams can be purchased at prices below 1000 naira.



There are examination centres in the South where all they do is exam fraud. These types of centres also exist in the north but the reason they still fail in large numbers is because those helping the students fall in the category of the Kaduna teachers. You can't give what you don't have.


Examination racketeering is a big business in Nigeria, it is a multimillion natural business. These examination syndicates make millions year in year out. They even call themselves Baron. They manufacture grades for people who know close to nothing. Some of these guys call themselves "Exam baron".



The police knows them and even patronise them, WAEC, NECO and NABTEB officials go to those places to get their own share of the mess.


My point, the south is using outdated glory, our education is in shambles. Soon the north and the south will close the gap and finally get buried together in the shameful pit of educational decadence.

My real fear when 22,000 teachers failed Kaduna State is the strategic importance of Kaduna state to northern Nigeria. It was the seat of the Northern Regional government, It is one of the most educationally developed states in the north. It is the northern state with the highest number of educational institutions. It is a melting point for different culture and religion. It is one of the states with the highest cut-off requirement in the National common entrance into federal government colleges.






If a state like Kaduna produces such shameful performance then what should we expect from Zamfara or Yobe State. Kaduna is the shinning light of western education in the North. Some States down south would not do better than Kaduna.




Our major problem as a people is that we hate to utilise opportunities when they present themselves even on a platter of gold. The show of shame which has just presented itself in Kaduna should have been utilised to declare a state of emergency on Nigerian education.




However, what will happen is that there will be uproar, complaints and grammatical fire works after which we will all move on to the next news item.



I come from a family of teachers, My father who retired in 2009 as a primary school teacher and my mother is still a teacher in a public secondary school. I know the shame and the poverty we experienced during the military regime. I will not forget the indignity my parents were subjected to by people who were not as educated as my parents.





My father who studied in the UK yet decided to become a school teacher retired both as an headmaster and as a very poor man. I can categorically say it that except for men with crazy sense of patriotism like my dad only very few brilliant folks can settle for a teaching job now in the south. Towards the end of his carrier my father managed to buy himself a car which his skinny and unstable pension cannot maintain. The state of that car is better imagined than described.



The rich and connected do not teach in at all, the brilliant do not want to teach, the averagely brilliant don't want to teach in public primary schools,the ones who decide to teach are not encouraged yet we are all waiting for a miracle.




In the past, there are annual programmes for training and retraining teachers , those programmes are no longer there. someone somewhere has embezzled the money meant for those programmes.



Where is El-Rufai going to get the 22,000 angels to replaces the poorly trained , poorly performing , poorly motivated teachers he just sacked. who taught those new ones is, is it not the sacked ones.



Our education needs an a holistic overhauling. If we continue with our fire brigade approach there will be no future for our education.

The reality in Nigeria today is that the winner of an election is most likely the person whom the most dreaded and ruthless thugs back. Politicians pay through their nose today to get the service of this thugs. Even in an election that is relatively free and fair the dude with the thugs will most likely win the election. I have studied the system for a while and these are my findings:





These thugs and their boys do not joke with their voters card. They not only collect but they will mobilize their friends and relatives to do the same.


Most of the voters cards lying fallow at the INEC offices across the country belongs to most of you who come online to blow grammar. Most of those grammar speaking OVER_SABI you see online do not reside in Nigeria and those that live here do not vote if they ever border to register. Their PVC is just for opening bank accounts.




These thugs know every face in their street who has a PVC, The politicians don't because they hardly visit their own people, so they have to just engage the guys at home.



Since, the Nigerian police force is understaffed and undertrained for the job of crime prevention. It is these people you call miscreants who are called upon to catch the thieves when they come. I actually have no statistics about this but I am saying this based on experience that most of the criminals the police parade are actually handed to them by "Miscreants” who caught them when they were attempting to escape. Even the Soldiers in Borno are currently using the Borno version of street miscreants to fight the Boko Haram.




When the Government you elect refuse to patch the roads badly constructed by the previous one, it is these miscreants who take up the job of those who get paid to do it . They come with shovels and head pans to mend the road, all they ask for when you pass them in your clean cars is to throw down your miserable 20 Naira when you pass through the road which most of you always refuse to do.



In Nigeria it is the miscreants in the street that do the job the miscreants you elected get paid to do. The miscreants in government steal from you, the miscreants in your street protect you from thieves, the miscreants in government loot the tax payers money budgeted for patching your pot-holes, the miscreants in the street fix it regularly even if not perfectly. Only during election do they cooperate to confuse you so as to make the big miscreants steal your collective future. All it takes is the exchange on crisp currency for your destiny.




The rich in Nigeria always call the poor miscreants, I have been called a miscreant most of you reading this are a bunch of miscreants to those who are bigger than you. Our country is a country where miscreants breed geometric progression. Who is a miscreant ? wetin I dey talk self.

I know you have seen it in the news Ganduje is giving out his daughter to Abiola Ajimobi’s son. Ganduje is Fulani Abiola Ajimobi is Yoruba the narratives is the fulani ’s hate Yorubas. In a normal campaign environment Ajimobi will most likely be cursing Ganduje's forefather. The only requirement needed for that to happen is for both of them to be in different political parties. lest we forget Abiola Ajimobi's wife is a christian. Ajimobi used his Islamic affiliation to get vote where necessary.





Recently the president of the senate gave his daughter to a christian, Saraki's wife is a christian so his Mum. Atiku Abulbakar'a wife isbTiti and that doesn't sound like an Igbo name to me.





The three major contenders in the last year Gubernatorial race in Ondo State all had Igbo wives but watch out soon it will be politically necessary for one of them to jump on the soap box and begin to heap curse on the Ndigbo.




Most of our leaders are a bunch of fraudsters, their religions and ethnic affiliation is a hoax and they know it. the only problem is the poor masses who take this non-existing borderline swrious. All they are interested in is how to solidify their political base and enhance the financial capability. Money is the symbol and power is the language.

Nasir El-rufai has always been in the news for the wrong and the right reasons. He seems to me like a man who is always thinking about how to write his name on the sand of rime . His sourjorn at the BPE and as the FCT minister will not be forgotten easily. He redefined the meaning of those positions, he also showed to everybody the enormous powers that resides in those position if rightly chanelled.






That almost 22,000 teachers failed primary 4pupils exams questions in Kaduna is not news but what actually triggered my suspicion about this news is the fact that this teachers who obviously should not be teaching anyone's child have been given the opportunity to reapply. I suspect foul play.






This is my point , most of those teachers who failed are most likely between grade level 10 and 14 since they must have stayed in the service for many years. If they reapply they will be placed on grade level 6 and 8. If 22,000 workers on grade level 10 and 14 are sacked and replaced with teachers on grade level 6 or 8 the wage bill will be grossly down aized .





We also need to ask about how many of these persons are from southern Kaduna because early in his administration he had been accused of wanting to institute a civil service reform which will see to it that most of the civil servant at the upper cadre of the civil service are prematurely retrenched. Most of which would be people from southern Kaduna.





We must not forget the fact that El-rufai is the man who paid Fulani herdsmen with government fund to stop the killings in Southern Kaduna . His tweets about Fulani blood being a dept that will be repaid must not be forgotten.




I hope that Mr El-Rufai is not just looking for expenditure reduction strategy because there is a rumour flying around that names of dead teachers appeared among those who passed the competence test. I have not verified that information but if it is true then I will be greatly disappointed.




Before you all begin to skin me, I must remind you that the reason why we are where we are is that our leaders have always deviced means to put us where they want us to be. If the government wants PMS to be sold for 180 Naira today all they need to do is to announce an increment to 200 Naira, then we will protest then we will go on atrike , we will then get weary, then a meeting will be held and a truce will be reached for the fuel to be sold for 180 Naira and that will be the end of the story.


Once more, I just hope El-Rufai is not playing some financial or ethnic card because there is no point bringing back those OLODOs if standard is his aim.


TO BE CONTINUE................

I sat in front of my house yesterday and I was wondering where Nigeria ex-international Garba Lawal now reaides . He used to be one of Nigeria most dedicated player and because he is left footed he could be used as a defender, striker or a midfielder. Garba lawal was the first player l know as kid that was described as a "utility player".



Garba Lawal is that player that always scores when a lone goal becomes necessary for Nigeria to win the match. He is rarely absent from the national team and he seems gentle and humble.






Nevertheless, since he retired from active football he is hardly in the news. We have a culture of not checking on our past stars until a reporter finds out they are sick and decides to publicize their bedridden pictures or until they die . Then we will line up to shed our fake tears and write our half hearted Eulogies.




This behaviors has great psychological consequence on our people and on the youthful generation. It implies that if you serve this country at any level as soon as you are out of the service you are forgotten. If you have the misfortune of dying on active service like Samuel Okwaraji or any of our nameless and countless soldiers who died in Borno no one will remember you ever existed.





We have proven times and time again that to serve Nigeria does not pay.




Sincerely, I don't know Garba's whereabout and I hope he is doing fine but it has become important that we begin to cultivate a culture of not waiting until we have to sign a condolence register before we check on our past heroes.

Nigeria seem to believe that anything the Americans or the British does is tailored for us to copy. We copied the parliamentary system from them in the first republic but made a mess of it in just five years.






We copied the presidential system from the Americans who have practiced it for hundreds of years and we are currently creating a choas of the whole thing.




Nigeria Judiciary has retain the ugly looking wigs since independenxe . The wig is an insignia of our slavery and servitude but since it makes them look like the British why not?




Now the bad news is that the British are gradually dumping the old wigs starting from all civil cases no lawyer or judge will be required to wear the old ugly wig again. Nigba ti e kin se Egungun.




So what will Nigeria do now? that our beloved British maaters are dumping our beloved wigs.

You are so funny

Permit me to say this, I have listened to blackface since his days in the plantation boyz uptill recently and I must say that he is immensely talented. He has what it takes to top the music chat year-in-year out, his creative spirit is top notch.





However, how Mr Blackface became a collosal failure in the music industry is worthy of academic scrutin. He has produced several albums since he became a solo artiste but the more album he drops the less patronage he gets .




there are certain traits in blackface which will make anyone fail if he has them.





RIGIDITY.


Blackface sings a mishmash of raggea Afro-pop and dance hall blended with strings poorly constructed Jamaican pato. He has not changed since his group days. The Nigerian public does not like artistes who hates to evolve. The reason boys who arrived yesterday like PHYNO and OLAMIDE are selling fast is the fact that they can react to market forces and that has helped them remain top in the business.



NO DEFINITION


Music is both an act and a trade but in Nigeria, it is more of a trade than an art. Blackface does not stand for anything. He is not a sex idol, he is not an activist, he is not a proper dance hall artiste, he is not into charity, he has is not a pan-Nigeria brand, he has no endorsement that I know off, he is just the crazy man who always accuse every of stealing his songs.




INDECISION



I believe Blackface composed African queen. The lyrics sounded like his style . Anyone who has taken time to study his style will agree with me. I believe he should have taken both Kennies music and Tuface to Court the year the song was released. Some lawyers would have done that case pro-bono but he didn't.


He also has the option of forgiven is ex-group mate a decision which would have cured him of his bitterness and allowed him to move on, which he has also not taken.



So , while he was still bitter he went back to drop an album tittle "PLAN B" with both Tuface and Face which created a fake impression of peace then resumed his mad rants again . Does this guy look serious to you?




CONSTANT ERROR



Anytime blackface speaks to press,someone has stolen his song is always his motto, Wizkid stole his song, P Square stole his song, Tuface stole his song. I know with the way is going AWILO AND MAYBE WITH THE SERAPHS SINGING PRAISE TO GOD IN HEAVEN will not one day still his song.

Why is it always is song that always gets stolen? where is he keeping is songs ? His criticism of his fellow Idoma friend has become so nauseating that no one really takes him serious anymore.

Blackface obviously needs help but he is too proud to ask for it. Sometimes you have to first get on your kneel to get back on your feet. There is hardly any child below the age of twenty who remembers or knows Blackface has an artiste.


Anyone who knows blackface should advice him to go back to the drawing board and reevaluate his methods and attitude or he will end up as one of the greatest failure of the Nigeria music industry.

And if you are reading this and you have any of this attitude you are likely going to fail too.

Obviously, the whole noise about paying and not paying tithe is mere transfer of aggression. the average Nigerian guy who cannot hold his governor accountable for nonpayment of 10 months salary is now insulting Adeboye because Adeboye cannot and will not arrest him.










The Mimiko Government in Ondo State left with almost seven months of unpaid salary, civil servants who couldn't write a common "Give us our money on their Facebook account for the fear of not been fired have now become analysts slizing and dicing the Bible on tithes. YOU PEOPLE WILL BE OK.








I hope that when Nigerians will finally find some hot issues upon which they can subject Daddy freeze to the same fire power he subject pastors to. You will be standing right behind him with a placard in your hands and without a mask.









Transfer your aggression back to the real thieves. For every pastor ridding a jeep or flying a jet, there is at least 100 jumping from one okada to the other. The guys who are stealing your collective future are the ones you should face but obviously " Eni ta le mu lan ledi mo".






The reason we fell in love with foreign leagues is because our league at home is in comatose and we dare not complain. We therefore became fans of football teams of a place we do not know. The betting companies have tapped into this to give our massive unemployed youths false hope of winning the elusive milions .








It is true that some Nigerian pastors are financially reckless but I also know that if the government has been accountable to us . They would have made the church and the other NGO's responsible too.









Face those who stole the money for the hospital where your relatives die everyday but travel abroad to get treated . Face those who stole the money for the Lagos-Ibadan road but buy flight tickets to fly over the potholes leaving you to be stranded and attacked by bandits.





DADDY FREEZE, I KNOW YOU HAVE NEVER PAID TITHE. SO YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT IT DOES.

There has been argument on whether tithe should be paid or not on the social media for sometimes now. I just want to make five salient point I have critically observed.
Most of those speaking against tithing do not give and hardly attend church. Two until recently when pastors began to fly jet and live celebrity lifestyle amidst overwhelming poverty no one was challenging their right to collecting tithe.
Three, tithe was a Biblical form of income redistribution aimed at ensuring that those who have made personal sacrifices the poor and the homeless do not go to bed hungry.
Four, No one is forcing you to pay tithe.
Five, the church is bringing the name of God to disrepute because of some glaring but relentlessly defended financial indiscipline.

Just two weeks ago bunch of murderous Fulani herdsmen attacked the Miango community in plateau State. Men , Women and Children were murdered in cold blood . This criminals left a trail sorrow, tears and blood behind.
However, not a single person has been arrested in connection with the murder and I doubt if anybody will be arrested.
No one is talking about the issues anymore because the Miango people are just minority among minorities and those who are killed are also fathers, Wives and Children of the poor. Their lives are of no significance. Why should their death border us?
I believe there is a God that is just and impartial, if he is truely just tell me one reason God should bless a country where people get butchered regular and forgotten immediately?

let me speak like a skeptic and like a man whose mind has been gripped by an extreme case of paranoia.


Last week Mr Mailafia was waylaid and gunned down along -Kano expressway by armed bandit. Mr Mailafia is a fresh PHD graduate from Leeds University. Wole Shoyinka is a product of this prestigious University.



There seem to be a strange pattern of killing the best brain the North has to offer. Some professors prospecting Oil in the North East also met with a distasteful end. Unimaid alone in the last three years has lost some of its finest Scholars. Bayero University lost some of the best professors to boko- haram attacks.






Who is Boko- Haram and How many shades of boko- haram are in the north? Who actually killed Mailafia? Is anybody trying to keep the north behind ? Is there anybody benefiting from the obvious academic backwardness of the north? Why is these pressure to always silence the best brains from the north? Why is Emir Sanusi now playing along? What silenced him ?



Well, this things might not be true , I might just be suffering from the hangover from the humongous size of Eba I ate few minutes before going to bed yesterday.

POLITICS OR RELIGIOUS MADNESS
I am disappointed in the statement credited to the governor of Zamfara state and his attempt to rubbish the Emir of Kano's attempt to correct him.
When a leader has lost the capability for empathy, he has lost the moral legitimacy to rule the people.
Governor Yari goofed by trying to connect the outbreak of meningitis to the punishment from Allah for the sexual sin of the people. Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi corrected him by challenging him to point to the verse of the Qur'an or the Hadith that said so. He has promised to do so but he is yet to do it.
Zamfara is not the only place where sexual misbehavior is taken place. It is not the only state in Nigeria where people have taken the satisfaction of their sexual urge to another level.
Most of our current cap of leaders are fond of playing upon the intelligence of the people. One of the weapon which they readily use is religion. This is why I have always said that our religious leaders are culpable in the crime of putting our nation on a reverse gear.
Former governor. Olusegun Mimiko was hosting DIVINE AGENDA praise night with state funds when seven months salaries have not been paid, when Fulani herdsmen attacked and killed more than fifty people in Enugu State the governor orders fasting and prayer.
let me state here and now that God is not in the business of taking responsibility for a people who have proven to be out rightly irresponsible. When he created you he gave you a brain and he expects you to use it. To arrogate the death of almost two thousand people to the unchecked sexual libido of a few is not only puerile but also completely wicked.
Finally, leave divinity for God and handle the pressing issues of humanity.

I have only spent approximately 15 minutes watching the TV show Big Brother Naija, I can't but declare that I hate the programme and what it represents. While I must affirm here that I know that everyone is free under the law to do what he likes in his spare time within the confines of the law. However I must state the reasons I detest what I saw.
i) I saw a South African Company using the name of Nigeria and Nigerians to make money in South Africa where our own people are been chased and hunted down my rabid south-African mob.
ii) I saw young men and women in their prime made to seat like loafers in a house doing nothing. One of the abandoned his family and denied having one just to win 25milion.
iii) there is obvious disregard for privacy, the institution of marriage and sexual decency which makes the programme offensive.
iv) I am personally offended that somebody will go home with 25milion for doing nothing. Nothing in the programme is intellectually challenging. If a child wins beta malt spelling bee and cowbell mathematics competition the total price is not up to 2milion. We are simply telling our young ones that to be intellectually sound is a waste of time.
v) the programme looks like a scam to me (my opinion) a high wired scam. Give Nigerians something to distract them, ask them to vote weekly, collect their money then choose a pre-selected winner who may not even get in full the promised money(MY OPINION).
