Sorry Sultan, are you just realising it now? It is unfortunate your brother Buhari cannot hear you. Try using your Islamic sign on him, who knows, he may understand you. Welcome to the world of change.

Meaningless! Everything is Meaningless! So is life. Rest in Peace OJB.

Reports have emerged that Popularmusic producer, Babatunde Okungbowa, popularly known as OJB Jezreel , is dead,three years after a successful kidney transplant surgery in India.He was said to have died early this morning, June 14, in a Lagos hospital, just one month to his 50th birthday.A family source claimed that his kidney transplant failed completely since last week.Recall that the producer was down with kidney related disease, and consequently was flown to India for a transplant in 2013. On October 21, the singer successfully underwent the surgery at the Indianhospital.After the successful surgery, OJB Jezreel , showered praises on his first wife, Mama J, for being there for him and donating one of her kidneys to save his life. While speaking after his arrival to the country from India, OJB revealed that despite discouragement from family and friends, his wife still made the crucial donation to save him, even at the risk of her life.While describing his wife for the voluntary donation, OJB had this to say; “She is a wonderful personbecause it is one thing if God is telling you to do something but another to do it. It takes a lot of courage to actually do it. Just as Jesus had made the water for Peterto walk on, Peter needed a lot of courage to take that step and that was what she did at that dying minute. Even when the doctors came to tell her that they would have to cut her all the way to the back and would have to remove a rib so they could have access to the kidney, she still agreed to go through it. It takes courage to go through with it, so, I will say she is acourageous woman.”

For God's sake, religion and state of origin should be abolished from our constitution if we are to make headway in our progress as a nation. How can we practice religion more than the whites that brought it to our shores in the first place? Look at where we are today- million miles from them. Now i believe that there is something wrong in being black- Pure Black Mentality. Please our law makers should sit up for us to make a headway.

Osun State Christian Association of Nigeria, OSCAN, hasdirected all female Christian students in both primary and secondary schools in the state to wear their church garments to their different schools, beginning from Monday.There was however palpable tension in some schools in different parts of the State including Osogbo, the state capital yesterdayover the controversy on the use of hijab by female Muslim students during school hours.Christian leaders having realised that Muslim girls now wear hijab to public schools, agreed that by next Monday, Christian students will begin to wear their garments such as those for Boys Brigade, ushers, Girls Guide, choristers, band boys, white garments and others.Vanguardauthoritatively gathered that messages have been sent to churches to mobilise their membersto ensure that their children comply with this directive.Already, Director of DSS in the state met Christian and Muslim leaders separately on Wednesday pleading for peace.A judge of Osun State High Court, Justice Jide Falola had delivered a judgement last Friday in favour of a case instituted by Osun State Muslim Community against the State Government on the right of female Muslim students in public schools in the state to use hijab on their school uniforms.Nigerians should hold Aregbesola responsible— PDPMeantime, Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,said Nigerians should hold Governor Rauf Aregbesola responsible, if more damage is done to the state’s education system through the brewing crises over wearing of hijab in public schools by female students.The party in a statement issued in Osogbo by its spokesperson, Prince Diran Odeyemi, said Muslimsand Christians in Osun state have coexisted long before now without crises and blamed the rising tensionon Governor Aregbesola, whom it accused of planning to destabilise the state for some political reasons.”Govt has no hand in the judgment”In a swift response, the state’s Solicitor General, Abiola Adewemimo, said; ‘’It has come to the notice of the State Government that the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN alleged that the judgment of the High Court of the State in favour of the right of femalepupils to wear hijab in public schools was masterminded by the State Government.‘’While we consider this to be unfortunate, we hasten to remind allreligious groups, Christians, Muslimand traditional religious worshippersthat the Judiciary is an independentarm of Government that is responsible and not under the control of the Executive in anyway.

Please if Buhari cannot hear, his aids should in a matter of urgency use pen and paper or better still use sign language before things get out of control. Let the Federal Government see at least three quarter of their demands and see if there will be cease bombing. As it is now, there is no alternative for our income.All I see is severe hunger ahead.

Militants have continued their bombing campaign of oil and gas facilities in the Niger Delta region with another attack on a facility suspected to belong to Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC).Niger Delta Militants have vowed to carry out more attacks on oil and gas installations in defiance to the federal government’s order fora cease fire.The latest attack, according to Vanguard occurred around Ogidigben, Warri south west local in Delta state, on Thursday evening, June9.A source told Vanguard that the explosion“occurred along the Chanomi Creek around Ogidigben area about 8.00 pm.Though, I cannot give you concrete details of the situation at the scene of incident for now. We got reports from our field office that a loudexplosion was heard at the location, which was followed by a huge ball of fire,” he said.Confirming the bomb attack on the oil facility, a community leader said:“My people called totell me that there was an explosion, they blew up the manifold at Ogidigben and they are going there now to see what actually happened.”Though no group has claimed responsibility for this latest attack, there are speculations that Niger Delta Avengers who have carried out previous attacks may be behind the attack. Recall that the group in a tweet in the early hours of Wednesday, June 8, claimed responsibility for blowing up an oil well belonging to Chevron located 20 meters away from Dibi flow station in Warri North LGA.That attack was less than two weeks after the group blew up Chevron’s Bibi oil well RMP 23 and RMP 24, considered to be some of Chevron’s most prolific onshore oil wells in thewestern Niger Delta.

Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of Science and Technology says research is ongoing to produce cement for road construction in the country.
Onu disclosed at the Forum of News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday.
According to him, production of indigenous cement for road becomes necessary due to the way some asphalt built roads get damaged, causing hardship to road users.
“We’ve asked Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NIBRRI), to commence research in concrete because we have seen that using asphalt on our roads has not been much enduring.
“It is something that many of the advanced countries are already using but the reason for our research is that we want to study how we can make it have the Nigerian character”, Onu said.
He said the nation had all it takes to be the technological hub of the continent, adding that consumption of home grown products would promote innovation needed for standard creativity.
“When we properly harness science, technology, engineering, research and innovation, we will be the technological hub because there is tremendous potential in Nigeria.
“We want a situation where Nigerian scientists and engineers are creative and innovative. We want them to also be successful and prosperous.
“You have Nigerian scientists and engineers in virtually, all the major research institutes in the world, these are the people we can also attract home”, he said.
The Minister said that the National Research and Innovation Council (NRIC), which has President Muhammadu Buhari as the Chairman,15 ministers and other key stakeholders would make significant impact in promoting innovations in the country.
NAN reports that National Chamber of Commerce Industry, Mines and Agriculture, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, among others, are represented in NRIC.
He added that the current administration would make deliberate efforts in attracting young and old to science and technology innovations.
NAN recalls that National Research and Innovation Fund has also been established so that research, science and technology could be funded outside the annual budget.

A man went to God and asked, "What's the value of life?"
God gave him one stone and said, "Find out the value of this stone, but don't sell it."
The man took the stone to an Orange Seller and asked him what it's cost would be.
The Orange Seller saw the shiny stone and said, "You can take 12 oranges and give me the stone."
The man apologized and said that the God has asked him not to sell it.
He went ahead and found a vegetable seller. "What could be the value of this stone?" he asked the vegetable seller. The seller saw the shiny stone and said, "Take one sack of potatoes and give me the stone."
The man again apologized and said he can't sell it.
Further ahead, he went into a jewellery shop and asked the value of the stone.
The jeweler saw the stone under a lens and said, "I'll give you 50 Lakhs for this stone." When the man shook his head, the jeweler said, "Alright, alright, take 2 crores, but give me the stone."
The man explained that he can't sell the stone. Further ahead, the man saw a precious stone's shop and asked the seller the value of this stone.
When the precious stone's seller saw the big ruby, he lay down a red cloth and put the ruby on it. Then he walked in circles around the ruby and bent down and touched his head in front of the ruby.
"From where did you bring this priceless ruby from?" he asked. "Even if I sell the whole world, and my life, I won't be able to purchase this priceless stone.
Stunned and confused, the man returned to the God and told him what had happened. "Now tell me what is the value of life, God?
God said, "The answers you got from the Orange Seller, the Vegetable Seller, the Jeweler & the Precious Stone's Seller explain the value of our life... You may be a precious stone, even priceless, but people may value you based on their level of information, their belief in you, their motive behind entertaining you, their ambition, and their risk taking ability. But don't fear, you will surely find someone who will discern your true value."
In the eyes of God you are very very precious. Respect yourself. You are Unique. No one can Replace you!

What is my point
My point is that there are so many ways of getting to a final destination. God may not take you through the same way He took your mom, dad, friend or colleague. What matters is that He will take you to your destination if you don't give up. At times, you get there by adding things and people in your life. Other times you will get there by subtracting certain things and people. Other times you may need the multiplying effect of seed,information and relationships...
Other times, division and separation might be inevitable...
"Some of these may not be fun".
When 2 was alone it may not have been comfortable until 5 was added. What matters is not the (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division). The process may differ But the destination is still the same. All things will work together for your good and expected end. Don't give up on the process! You are a tool. Do not reject God when He adds and subtract things. Do not resist And in the process learn to let go when He subtracts. Stop crying, lamenting, and drowning in tears of pity and fear of moving on. Every circumstance is building you for the castle God has prepared for you.
All things will work together for your good! Head or tail you will win. Don't give up on the process
Don't walk away from the game..
The match has already been decided in your favour.
U WILL BE WHAT GOD HAS DESTINED U TO BE.
SO RELAX!

Does Fashola remember this phrase: This is federal road; please, bear with us?— 1st April 2016
MINISTERof Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, sure will remember the phrase: “This is a federal road. Please, bear with us.” It was a message once placed at various locations in Lagos, especially on bad roads across the state. It was a message meant to explain to motorists and other road users that bad roads in Lagos State were Federal Government’s, a proof that the government at the centre at that time could not maintain roads under its jurisdiction, as it were. It was a statement to the effect that while Lagos State was doing its duty at ensuring that “state roads” were in good condition, the Federal Government neglected roads it initially constructed and ought to maintain regularly.
Indeed, at that time, the Lagos State, which was under the control of the Action Congress (AC)/Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the Federal Government, which had a president elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), were not in good terms owing, mainly, to personality clashes between federal and state officials. To show the irresponsibility of the Federal Government, the Lagos State government played politics with bad roads. Every bad road in Lagos at that time was portrayed to be federal road. And as it lasted, the Lagos State government, nay Fashola, as Chief of Staff to then Governor Bola Tinubu or as Governor of Lagos State, enjoyed the attention brought about by the highlighting of bad federal roads.
Today, it appears that nemesis has caught up with Fashola. Perhaps, if Fashola knew that one day he would be the Minister of Works, whose duty would be to fix federal roads, maybe, he would have thought twice before erecting the sign, denigrating the Federal Government over bad roads in Lagos.
Perhaps, if Fashola knew that one day, the Federal Government and Lagos State government would be under the same party, he might not have painted a picture that the neglect of federal roads in Lagos was owing to the fact that the state was an act of punishment because Lagos was controlled by an opposition political party. Now, Fashola is in charge of federal roads, among other duties. Nigerians, therefore, are waiting to see what he would do. Yes, Nigerians are waiting to see how Fashola would, with a snap of the fingers, fix all federal roads across the nation. Nigerians are waiting to see the Fashola magic in road construction and maintenance.
These days, whenever I pass the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road, a federal road, I remember that Fashola and former officials of the Lagos State government had said that the road was in that terrible state because the Federal Government not only neglected it but also stopped Lagos State government from reconstructing it. Indeed, the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road, Lagos, is an embarrassment.
A gateway to the country, the road is such an eyesore that potholes and flood, when it rains, dare motorists and other road users. Also, fuel tankers line up the road to complete the mess it has become. I can’t remember any country I have visited, whose important roads, especially the ones leading to the international airport, are like the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road. With the sorry state of the road, the first impression any first time visitor to Nigeria, coming through Lagos, would have is that ours is a dirty, disorganised and decrepit country. This is not a testimony for a supposed rich oil nation and one, which is aiming to be among the 20 biggest economies of the world.
Indeed, when Fashola was named Minister of Works, I had thought that the bad story of Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road would end in a jiffy. My optimism was hinged on the fact that the Lagos State government, in which Fashola served as Chief of Staff, first, and governor, thereafter, claimed that it had redesigned the road and actually mobilised to reconstruct and give it the look of a truly gateway. According to them, the Federal Ministry of Works, under the control of a PDP minister, who, incidentally, hails from Lagos State, had stopped the state government from executing the road contract on the excuse that it was a federal road.
Now that Fashola calls the shot, it would be taken for granted that he would fix the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road and the badly dilapidated, crater-infested Oshodi-Apapa Expressway in Lagos. Also, Lagos State does not have any excuse not to intervene, if Fashola fails to act, since it has always wished the road were in a condition befitting the state’s status. In any case, now that the All Progressives Congress (APC) controls both Lagos State and the Federal Government, dichotomy between them would not arise.
Do I need to remind Fashola about the politics of Dilion Street, in Kirikiri, Lagos, close to the Kirikiri Minimum/Maximum Prisons? This is a federal road, which could pass as the worst in the country. This stretch of road, which maybe about one kilometre, at best, is dotted by craters. As governor, Fashola could not reconstruct this road, because it is a Federal Government own. Lagos State government reconstructed Okodowa Street, which links Dilion Street, but left the latter unattended. Today, Dilion Street is not only bad but also a death trap. Container-laden articulated vehicles fall there almost on daily basis, as they struggle for right of way with commercial motorcyclists and cars. As Minister of Works, therefore, Fashola has no excuse not to fix Dilion Street?
Indeed, roads that Fashola has no excuse not to reconstruct are not restricted to Lagos. Across the country, federal roads in horrible condition stare us in the face. Go to the South East and you weep over state of federal roads. My trip through the five South-East states left me in anger. In the geopolitical zone, federal highways are so bad that using them is a call to trouble. The Awka-Enugu Expressway, for instance, is hell of a road. This expressway, or what is left of it, has been totally abandoned and only motorists, who do not know alternative routes apply it. And they always come out with regrets. Most parts of the dual-carriage expressway are now thick bushes. Some other parts have laterite, in the makeshift efforts to make the expressway passable.
Of course, the Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway, a federal road, is in bad shape. A trip that would ordinarily take about 40 minutes, from Aba to Port Harcourt, now takes hours, owing to bad road. The Port Harcourt Road in Aba, the commercial nerve centre of Abia State, is more of an erosion site than a road. When the rains come, no vehicle will pass through that road. The Lagos/Ibadan, the link between the West and the North, is in bad shape and the Federal Government has been playing politics with it. The Aba-Ikot Ekpene Road, the Calabar Expressway and many others are federal roads that are in terrible condition.
These are roads, which Fashola needs to reconstruct. With the budget now passed by the National Assembly, even as the nation awaits President Muhammadu Buhari’s assent, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing should know that Nigerians will not take any excuse whatsoever for failure not to reconstruct the roads, just as Fashola did not when the Federal Government failed to take care of roads in Lagos.
However, as Fashola perfects his plan to make federal roads motorable, he may consider breaking the dichotomy between the Federal Government and states in construction and maintenance of roads. I had said in an article some years ago that the federal/state road policy is nonsense. If the Federal Government builds a road, with its capacity to handle bigger projects, it should hand over the road to the government of the state in which such road is constructed, which would take over the maintenance. With that, no road will be neglected, in the name of waiting for the Federal Government to take care of it. Just as the Federal Government can build roads in any part of the country, states should equally maintain the roads. The flexing of muscle between The Federal Government and state government should not arise at all. If Fashola could break the ice, he would have done much for roads in the country.

Fashola should first ensure adequate electricity supply before increasing the tariff. You don't put the cart before the horse.
