The last nysc camp was a bad and ill-advised idea. It was too early for such activity, considering how an average Nigerian behaves (both the corps and the institution)

RIP sir. He was the founder of Standard Breweries Ltd at Alomaja Village in ibadan, the brewers of Club Beer..who remembers Club Lager Beer? my uncle was one of the line managers before the company packed up. I worked in his standard packaging Ltd (a woven sacks and plastics division) briefly after my SSCE in this days while awaiting admission.

He also founded standard flower Mills, standard biscuits,Dr Pepper among others. I waited for his Aramed Centre built in memory of his mum to come on steam so I could work there, which could have been the largest and the best-equipped private hospital in Nigeria at that time ,located on entering ibadan after solelbonel quarry. Unfortunately he abandoned the project after the wards and building was completed for the reason best known to him. I hope his children would make it happen.

The entrepreneurship of them is not what is obtainable in the present day Nigeria...

2years for a road that is less than 10km, Tinubu's company will increase the initial cost at least twice before completing the road. This road shouldn't take more than 6months. Radarada

Beautiful family, I must say.


In the spirit of Eid el Fitr I won't condemn Buhari but I'm just confused why he's sitting on a chair during Eid prayers.

ThierryJay:
Tests are key to knowing the true status of the extent of the infection and managing the spread. With one of the lowest testing ratios in the world, our CoVID 19 management statistics are a complete farce!

To put this into perspective, if Ghana were to have tested less than 5,000 people like NIgeria, they'd probably only have less than 100 cases, and then they'd be falsely happy about the low spread of the disease.

With 10 recorded COVID deaths in Nigeria coupled with about 2 unofficial deaths (making a total of at least 12), our actual level of infection (as at two weeks ago) could be around 900 - 1200 cases when taking the 1% - 1.5% average death rate into account. Right now, with an average infection rate per person of 2.5 - 3Ro (i.e one person infects 2.5 to 3 people on the average), we might be looking at up to 2,500 - 3,500 cases currently in Nigeria. I'm not a prophet of doom but these are logical reasons for everyone to take the lockdown more seriously to break the cycle of infection!

NIGERIANS pastors are part of the problem we have , of all the things and people to pray for you choose to pray for an Islamic fundamentalist polygamist

Gwilym:
Good idea...

But do we have broadcast companies that have the finances to compete with DSTV for say, broadcast rigths for Premiership??

HITV failed because in the end they could not compete with the financial juggernaut of DSTV.

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos
Since assumption of office in May 2019, Governor Seyi Makinde has left no one in doubt that indeed, he is a professional in politics whose interest in politics is to offer selfless service for the state widely regarded as the ‘Pace Setter’ state. Though a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the governor has won the admiration of many including members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with his style of governance. It has indeed become a global knowledge that the governor has become a reference point for governance not just in the South West but across Nigeria.

Makinde’s election as the governor of Oyo state can be attributed to divine providence. First, internal wrangling within the then ruling party in the state played a huge role in his success. His predecessor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, a man who paraded himself as a little tin god had offended many people in the state through his caustic tongue and unpopular policies.

The situation was further compounded by the crisis between him and Adebayo Shittu, the immediate past Minister of Communications who was hell-bent on succeeding Ajimobi. After being disqualified from participating in the governorship primary by the Adams Oshiomhole-led NWC, Shittu and his supporters decided to work against the party’s interests and this helped Makinde’s chances to a great deal.

Also, for the first time in the history of the state, some coalition of forces who are fed up with Ajimobi’s leadership style and believed that Makinde has a lot to offer the state decided to collapse their political structures for him. Notable politicians like Senator Rashidi Ladoja, a key player in Ibadan politics, Sharafadeen Ali of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Senator Olufemi Lanlehin of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Bolaji Ayorinde of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) all threw their weight behind Makinde . He also got the endorsement of the state chairman of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Akin Fasogbon.

Determined to hit the ground running, the governor has launched the four key pillars of his administration including Education, Health, Economy, and Security, hitting peak achievements on all fronts. From basic welfare of the workers and pensioners; to cancellation of N3, 000 education levy and the fees for entrance forms into Junior secondary and Technical colleges; to payment of gratuities to retirees from 2010; approval of car and housing loans for workers; payment of workers’ salaries not exceeding the 25th of every month and foundational flag-off of landmark projects at the Health and Education fronts.

One notable feature that distinguished Makinde apart from other governors is the issue of appointments of professionals who have distinguished themselves in their various fields to come and join hands with him in taking the state to the next level. In fact, the governor publicly admitted that he had to go to some of these individuals and beg them to come and serve in his government, without asking them about their political leanings. Some of these appointees are Fatai Owoseni, former Commissioner of Police in Lagos and Benue States, who was appointed by the Governor as his Special Adviser on Security Matters.

Others include Prof. Oyelowo Oyewo, a former Dean Of the University of Lagos Law Faculty who is currently the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the State. He also appointed Taiwo Adisa, a former Group Politics Editor of Tribune newspapers, who had also served as Special Assistant (Media Relations) to former President of the Senate, Senator Adolphus Wabara between 2003 and May 2005 as his Chief Press Secretary (CPS). Also worthy of mention is the appointment of Jide Ajani, former Sunday Editor of Vanguard newspapers as the Special Adviser on Media.

Speaking on his mission and vision for the people of the state, Makinde said “My vision is to make Oyo State the fastest growing economy in Nigeria. To achieve this end, we have to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive. That is why one of the two Executive Bills we have so far, transmitted to the Oyo State House of Assembly is the Oyo State Investment Promotion Agency Bill. The bill is to initiate, promote and facilitate investments in the state”.

Affirming that his sole aim of seeking political power is to serve the people, he said “My life is a long-distance race. I run, mostly no for fame or fortune but for a cause. I know this concept might be alien to a lot of people. In my over five decades on earth, I have met many people whose only goal in life is to become wealthy and famous. I have also seen how unhappy some of them have turned out to be.”

“I am a marathoner, physically and metaphorically. With every sense of modesty, I admit that many consider me a traiIbIazer who is inspiring a new generation of Oyo people to aspire to a life beyond their present realities.

“People often ask me what drives my personal, professional and political passions. What keeps me running? I hope I have shown over time that my ultimate goal is to serve humanity with all the resources God has endowed me. Service to humanity is the number one driving force in my life. I firmly believe in the adage which says that when a man sends a gift to the market, the market will reward him with a gift in return.”

The Governor further declares that his believe in generosity and philanthropy derives from innate attributes that ensure he sees life as an avenue to help others live.

He stated: “My life values of philanthropy and generosity are evident to everyone. I have always been a great ambassador of myseIf, my family and my Oyo State. There is the likelihood that I will be spoken of glowingly even by my political opponents, a testament to my character and Values.

“I know the reputation that politicians have earned in Nigeria. I make bold to say that I am not your typical Nigerian politician. My political career has not been (and I promise that I will not be) tainted by thuggery or financial malfeasance. I come with my vaIues.

“Philosophers have long postulated about life and what gives life meaning. For me, the joy of living, what gives my life direction and drives my passions, is not accumulating material wealth but the giving to the people that I Love and care about, the experiences that having wealth often facilitates.”

“My vision of the future of Oyo State starts and ends with people. We will have a State that provides the right services through the right channels and at the right time.

“We will make the effort to identify succinctly the needs and wants of our people and employ evidence to deliver better outcomes. As some experts claim, if states responding to citizens’ needs was the old standard, our new operational philosophy will be to anticipate.

“Our future in Oyo State is now. We will have a Government that is accountable, transparent, productive, effective and efficient. We will move from “sick care” to the wellness of our people- through acute forces on education, health and economic posterity-so we can achieve live changing outcomes.”

This is a list from an experienced and non vindictive politician. Unlike the Gbaja guy whose list was very vindictive abd childish. Unfortunately, I see Oshomhole and tinubu plotting the Senate president, Lawan's, impeachment soonest.

Honestly speaking APC is evil. The type of wicked politics they have brought into the system will hurt this country for decades.
I read the submission of the CJN in defence of those petty allegations, and I wept for this country. His defence was comprehensive with verifiable facts , highly logical and reasonable, and you wonder why the executive will even initiate this process in the first place.

Now look at the rubbish being written up there. Look at how they put it "
The opening of a dollar account in Standard Chartered Bank for the CJN by a lawyer, Joe Agi, with $30,000 was said to be unhealthy."
First of all this simply a domicilliary account that commoners have these days, is what they are making an issue for a CJN having.

Secondly, look at how they are making noise about $30K, while Osibanjo has such account with a balance of $900K , Osibanjo that was a mere commissioner for justice compared to the CJN?, Hypocrisy.

What I am sure is the evil politics being played by APC will still turn back and hurt them, Rochas and Amosun can attest to that.
