N/B: This could be a bit lengthy, but please, read to the end.

I have been making preparations since late last year to settle down with my fiancee. I intend going to collect the marriage list this coming April to kick start the marriage processes.

My girl and I are very compatible in almost all ramifications you can think of. Honestly, she's the perfect definition of a supportive wife, well mannered and loyal to the core, just to say a few.

We now lived in different states, but we've known ourselves and have been seeing/dating each other in the same city between December 2016 and September 2019. I even made her to redeploy during her NYSC in 2018, to be close to me because of my intentions for her.

As usual, we've been praying and trying to seek the face of God to get divine revelation.

We know the government has failed but it's not an excuse to do evil. Evil can never be justified no matter the excuse. Na only those doing Yahoo dey the country? No be everybody the bad government affect? Why will some decide to do Yahoo. Moreover, it's the poor this whole tin is affecting and not the rich/elites. What you think u can afford as a Yahoo boy/girl, the elites can afford it twice.
The government will oppress the poor,
Yahoo boys/girls will also oppress the poor. Watin? Na only una God create the Earth for?
You complain of bad government, yet u do worst to the society. Tell me, how are u different from the government u criticise?
Evil will visit you all if you don't repent. Evil never last for long. Satan your master is coming to drag u to hell with him shortly. Think about that!

By the time 2023 is here and the list of candidates contesting is rolled out you will know Tinubu is the best option on the list.

Imagine a fool argue that Atiku a common criminal is a beta alternative to Tinubu/Obi can you belive that ? Same Atiku that was selling all BPE asset to himself under Obasanjo. Nigerians are indeed foolish.

Is it that you are missing the point, or you don’t want to do the work required to make the masses retrace their steps despite the obvious hunger, which will only get worse if wise people like you don’t work on their minds

seguno2:
If the wise ones are truly wise, won’t they work without cease to educate/sensitise/enlighten everyone around them and beyond, until they become the majority/critical mass that determines/runs things?
If they can’t/don’t/won’t do this needful work, is it okay to say that they are more foolish than the leaders who they call foolish

seguno2:
Please do you know why the masses allowed themselves to be impoverished, in order to enrich the corrupt system

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu on Saturday suggested that reducing the cost of governance is not a one-way street.

The former Lagos State Governor made the remark while speaking at the 11th Arewa House Annual Lecture in Kaduna state.

“Cost of governance is always a key factor in the socio-economic development of any nation,” Tinubu said.

“But it is also one side of that very important coin. We must not look at the cost alone, we must weigh the cost against the benefits derived therefrom.

“For example, one can pay a high cost on a productive enterprise but reap a higher benefit; such would be considered a good investment.

“However, one can pay a low cost but reap no benefit at all in the endeavour. We inherently say it is unproductive.

“Thus we must be careful in what we say and truly mean when we talk of cost of governance.”

Plateau State Governor and Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum, Simon Lalong criticised the cost of governance in Nigeria, blaming the propensity of elected officials to employ an excess of aides.

“This high expenditure is attributed to the large number of cabinets maintained by these tiers of government, either to pacify political, religious and other interests, with their attendant high salaries, allowances, estacodes and the like,” Lalong said.

“Currently, at the national level, there are 28 ministries, 44 ministers and about 215 government department and agencies.

“In 2011, the presidential advisory committee led by General T.Y. Danjuma expressed concerns over the high cost of governance and advised that ‘government should begin the process of merging and reducing the federal ministries and other government agencies to help cut down on government’s unnecessary spending.'”

Meanwhile, Tinubu also shared his thoughts on how Nigeria can solve its unemployment problem.

“The development of any populous nation has always been dependent on the ability of government to allocate sufficient fund to projects and programs that create and encourage enduring growth and employment,” he said.

“We must reject that mode of thinking that assumes government expenditure is inherently unproductive as well as harmful to the overall economy.”

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday said the recharging of Lake Chad will help to reduce the irregular migration of youths striving to get into Europe through the Sahara Desert.

He made the remark while hosting the President of Chad, Marshal Idris Deby Itno, at the State House in Abuja.

According to the President, about 30 million people are adversely affected by a shrunken Lake Chad, which is now just about ten percent of its original size, a statement signed by spokesman Femi Adesina said.

“It is imperative that there be water transfer to the Lake Chad from the Congo Basin, so that the people can resume their normal lives,” President Buhari said, as quoted in Adesina’s statement.

He added that with inter-basin water transfer, farming, fishing, animal husbandry would resume, and curtail irregular migration of youths, who now dare the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea, to get into Europe, seeking greener pastures, the statement noted.



“I’ve been engaging with the relevant stakeholders in Africa and beyond, on why we need to recharge Lake Chad. Nigeria will benefit more, but it is also advantageous to everyone,’’ President Buhari added.

On the recharge of Lake Chad, Chadian President Itno counseled Buhari to consider convening an international summit to move the idea forward.

Meanwhile, Buhari appreciated Chad for its role in curbing insurgency in the region, particularly the Boko Haram challenge.

“We appreciate what you are doing on security,” the President said. “When I first came to office in 2015, I came to see you, as well as leaders of other neighbouring countries, because it makes sense to be in the good books of our neighbours.”

President Buhari wished Marshal Itno well in the general elections coming up in his country in April.

The Chadian leader thanked President Buhari for receiving him, saying, “We are neighbours facing similar challenges.”

He added that he was also around to explore other bilateral issues, in addition to security.

Fielding questions from state house correspondents on the position of Chad in advancing the functionality of the multinational joint task force formed to fight the insurgency in the Lake Chad region, President Itno said that the Boko Haram crisis will be definitively tackled, given new strategies that would be employed.

He further noted that tackling the insurgent group has been made difficult with operations carried out just once a year, but he is confident that with the change of security operatives both within Nigeria and the multinational joint task force, there is more hope for an end to the crisis.

What do you expect them to say? That Nigeria will beat us silly.

They need to hype themselves na.

Igboho's Aide Storms Lagos Streets, Canvasses For Creation Of Yoruba Nation

Olayomi Koiki, an aide to Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho), has stormed the Agege axis of Lagos State to canvass support for the movement for the establishment of the Yoruba nation.

On Sunday, Koiki shared a live Facebook video of himself at Agege where he was seen sensitising Nigerians to the impotance of having the Yoruba nation and why it should secede from the country, alleging the various inequalities in the system.

He said in the video: "According to the amalgamation of 1914, after 100 years, we can all go our separate ways, that 100 years has been completed since 2014, why are we still together? Check the N100 note, it is stated there that the amalgamation ends in 2014, it has been over 7 years we have been suffering now, no jobs, the government of this country do not favour us, they only favour themselves. Let us leave this country, forget about the N2, 000; N3, 000 or N10, 000 they give to you.

"We don’t have the money or rice to distribute to you but we are fighting for a better future for you. Except you are a politician, this country does not favour you. Let us join hands together to support the independence of the Yoruba nation.

"We have lots of mineral resources that we will utilise and live well. The Nigerian government has no reason whatsoever to say we should not leave but they are enjoying this Master-Slave relationship. Nigeria has refused to let us go simply because of the benefits derived from us, we have gold, oil, cement and every other thing.

"Yorubas are not being favoured, Yoruba nation now. They cannot kill us and kill our grave. The Yorubas are not enjoying this country, Igbos too, even the Hausas are crying, only Fulanis are enjoying everything."

The move has continued to elicit reactions with many sharing their views on the matter.

Osondu Moses wrote: "Oduduwa is rising, all hail Yoruba nation, oil and gas is here. Fadipe Ibukun Yoruba nation has been the way."

Sheyi Adesuyi also wrote: "God bless you Chief Sunday Igboho and Koiki, Agege needs to be supporting the Yoruba nation now.
Opeyemi Jamiu: thank you, bro, may God be with you and all Yoruba worldwide, we will do it little by little till we get there."

Also commenting, Gbadegbo Balogun wrote: "The Yoruba nation is non-negotiable."

Ayinla Gbems wrote: "Our future is bright, let us work together and make the Yoruba nation stand."

Similarly, Michael Onafowokan wrote: "Good job, I admire your courage. God will continue to protect you all."

Olaniyi Francis also wrote: "Divide Nigeria now, we don’t want Nigeria again."
