What if we build tonnes of these boats, with many rows, tag a story to it placing in respect to our slavery while launching it at badagry, bayelsa, calabar etc...

This is how tourism and myths are created, you and I may know the story behind it but the next Generation takes it as history.. and gradually turns to a tourism point.

Nathaniel Bassey, popular Nigerian gospel musician and trumpeter, has weighed in on the ongoing rape saga involving the Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo, Mandy News report.

Reacting to the saga, Bassey in an Instagram post wrote: “Thanks for joining the Live session. Highlights

“1. Even in this turbulent times. God is purging His church. And things that can be shaken are shaken.

“2. The care to not react, but respond after careful consideration. And the importance of following the word.

“3. The need to have the elders go to the root of this. No sweeping under the carpets this time. As the blood of Jesus only works in the light. 1 John 1:7.

“I also called on other people with evidence to come forward. And just to add, if need be, redress must be sort in the court of the land.

“I also mentioned that this was a good opportunity to bring to the fore sexual abuse going on in church. Eg, RAPE.

“I called for continued prayers and not just mere talking. And prayers should be along this line, THAT GOD’S PURPOSE for this be fully established and implemented.

“Also, stated that this is a wake-up call for every minister, MUSIC OR WORD leading a double life. As there seems to be a change in status quo.

“The end of all of this must be the salvation of soul. Reading from 1 Cor 5, Paul speaking concludes by saying this.

James 1:19, James 3:15-18, I Cor 6, 1 Cor 5, Proverbs 18:13. I John 1:7.”

I know this useless omo-criminal will react, the guy is a chemical. What this wailers fail to understand is we have culture in Nigeria and we do respect our elders, politics aside Buhari is old enough to be omo-agege father. so if he decide to kneel or prostrate for him, that shouldn't be anyone problem, the fact that he kneel for him, doesn't make him a rubber stamp and doing otherwise, doesn't say he won't be a rubber stamp.


And my condolences go the Ipob and Wailers Association of Nairaland(IWAA) dont get close to sniper yet, Nigeria will be better under this administration and if not for any other thing, wait till 2023 when SW clinch the Presidency.


President ---NW
Vice president ---SW
Senate president --- NE
Speaker ---- SW
Deputy Senate president ---- SS
Deputy speaker --- NC
chairman Governor's forum ---- SW

you see that a major region is missing there, it is because of the politics of hate and bitterness, how a man will come on the radio and start abusing all other tribes is amusing and they sheepishly follow him.


SW for President 2023.

June 12 is at the soul of our democratic struggle; a threshold in our national life.

The significance of the celebration of June 12, 1993, Presidential Election is a reminder of our history to becoming a democratic country. On this day twenty-six years ago, Nigeria voted for democracy against the jackboot notion of oppressive totalitarianism.

The collective decision by Nigerians to elect democracy on that day was not to aggrandize the political elite or to replace the military dictatorship with civilian autocracy. No! The choice of democracy was to restore power to the people.

Suffice it to state that the idea of June 12 is not merely to declare it as a Democracy Day – much as celebratory and commendable it might seem. The idea behind the event of June 12, 1993, embodies something much bigger than that. It was a threshold moment in our national life that demands of us as democrats to do a soul searching and ask the salient question of all time: how better off are Nigerians?

It is not enough to declare June 12 a Democracy Day when the government of the day is disrespectful of the rule of law and wantonly disregards court orders on issues that border on fundamental human rights. It is not enough to declare June 12 a work-free day when the ordinary people of Nigeria still don’t have the freedom to find a better life from the suffocating grip of poverty, when Nigeria is now the global headquarters of extreme poverty. It is not enough to declare June 12 a work-free day when a disproportionate number of citizens are not sure of where their next meal will come from and when the sanctity of their lives is not guaranteed. It is not enough to declare June 12 a work-free day when freedom of the press, and of speech, fundamentals of democracy is being assailed.

As a compatriot who stood shoulder to shoulder with the icon of the June 12 struggle, Chief MKO Abiola of blessed memory, I know first-hand that the choice of HOPE as his campaign slogan wasn’t merely a populist tokenism. He didn’t mean to deceive Nigerians with a hope he could not deliver upon. And, today, the minimum requirement for any June 12 convert is to demand of them wherever they may be – either in government or in private lives – to deliver on the promises they made to the people.

It is therefore not acceptable that an administration which had an opportunity of four years to deliver the promise of change to Nigerians, not only reneged on that promise but propelled the country into a near-comatose state will lay claims to being a true friend of the June 12 struggle.

To be a lover of June 12 is to believe in the common good of the people. June 12 is about the political leadership having the focus to retool the Nigerian economy. It is about having the skills to create wealth and jobs for the teeming mass of unemployed. It is not about the inclination for shared pains; it is about shared prosperity.

As we celebrate yet another episode of the June 12 struggle, the desire for hope is more preponderant today much as it was twenty-six years ago. So, for all true lovers of democracy, let us keep the HOPE alive.

The whole internet has been flaming with trolls since the reports of Omo-Agege kneeling to greet Buhari in Aso Rock.

Omo-Agege was at the Presidential Villa with Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, to pay homage after their emergence as principal officers of the Red Chamber was sighted by mandynews.com kneeling to president Buhari.
Deputy President of the Senate, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, displayed his respect for President Muhammadu Buhari by kneeling to greet the nation’s leader Tuesday night.

Reacting to the viral picture, Reno said;
"When we have a Deputy Senate President KNEELING DOWN to greet Buhari, how can we expect the 9th National Assembly to STAND UP to him? The Legislature was created to CHECK the Executive, not to BOW to them. Kneel to God and parents only. Very sad! #FreeLeahSharibu #RenosDarts"
