 please read this:"DO YOU KNOW THAT: During the Nigerian Civil War, while Britain was sending sugar, butter and milk to the Biafrans, the same Britain was selling weapons to the Nigerian troops in Lagos. Britain gained immensely from that civil war while Nigeria and Biafra lost badly in everything and on all sides, all the billions the young country (Nigeria was just seven years old then) was supposed to use for development, they used to fight and kill themselves, our economy is yet to recover till date and that is not to mention the three million brains wasted. If any civil war happens again, the same people who will benefit will not be the careless and ignorant youths screaming and calling for war, it will be the sellers of the weapons, you can see how President Donald Trump is selling weapons to both Saudi Arabia and Qatar at the same time while some comedians are taking sides. Who gained from the deal? United States. It is all a game and if you are not smart, you will keep making a fool of yourself as a nation. If Saudi Arabia and Qatar start killing themselves tomorrow, it is none of the business of the weapon seller, they will even sell them more to finish themselves, just as the Americans are selling to the Saudis to finish off the Yemenis. The new world order simply has no time for stupid people, if you want to kill yourselves because you don't have sense, they will happily sell to you all the weapons you need, they will even help you upgrade and do maintenance for 'free'. After all they did not force the weapons on you, you demanded for them out of your own foolishness. That is why you will see in many African countries like South Sudan and Congo where people are starving to death because there is no food but in these same countries they always have money to buy plenty weapons to kill themselves. You then begin to wonder how people who are so poor they cannot feed themselves are able to get countless AK-47s. It is left for the people of Africa especially the youths to use their brains and learn from history. As young Nigerians, make your leaders in government accountable, stop defending anyone based on sentiments because it will NEVER favour you, insist on good governance and a just and fair system that will provide abundant opportunities for everyone. The world owes you nothing. Wisdom is always profitable to direct and there is no misunderstanding that dialogue cannot resolve. After all, all wars are ended on the dialogue table. I have said my own. Kindly share." 163 Likes 36 Shares |

Every year the Government floats bonds which are heavily subscribed. Bonds are guaranteed investments whereby funds are raised for specific investments. The bonds must be tied to concrete clear-cut Projects. So that the FG or whoever is raising the Bond can track progress and repayments years later. For instance, Bond to build modern superfast rail from Lagos to Ibadan. (5yrs tenor) Another one from Ibadan to Lokoja.(10 yr tenor) And another one for Lokoja to Abuja. (5year tenor). Same can be done for other projects across. If this is how bonds are raised and executed, Nigeria would have been among the 10 best developed nations. All these funds they borrow that is been plunged into funding padded budget which has an untouchable N250B for NASS alone not to talk of that for judiciary and Executive excesses. We must design things to fit our peculiar need not copy hook line and sinker. That purpose for raising bond MUST be able to repay itself and also give the nation value with profit. For instance, by building the Lagos-Ibadan rail, you automatically crash the cost of rents and land in Lagos because 40% of those working in lagos will move to Oyo state to live easier and cheaper lifestyles since the ultra modern train services between Lagos and Ibadan will cut travels from 3hrs to 30mins 3 Likes |

Everybody is hung up on domestic abuse by men against women. Nobody spares a moment to find solutions to the equally devastating verbal abuse men suffer in the hands of their wives. It is worse because men can't discuss what their wives do to them for fear of scorn and derision. They suffer in silence. Timebomb. Unfortunately, the Nigerian society has little or no support systems for this kind of situation. Little or no counselling services. It's been mostly left to the church to deal with. What happens when the man doesn't go to church? What happens when the woman doesn't believe in spiritual intervention? These women are raising daughters. Their daughters are hearing and seeing how they speak to and treat their husband. What kind of wives will they grow up to become? Those that treat their husbands as kings or those that believe husbands are nothing but verbal punching bags? We've all agreed and rightfully so that a man has no business hitting his wife. So how then do you stop a wife raining verbal missiles at you? Leave the house? Okay. But you'll return and it will continue. What next? Leave again? For how long? Recently, I visited a senior friend, an important man in the society and while we were downstairs gisting, the voice of his wife could be heard upstairs. She was spewing unimaginable bile against the man. She called him all sorts of unprintable names. Impotent, wretched fool, miserable man that was nothing when she married him, etc. This is a well respected man. A father of 4 children. She tore at his very core and mocked everything society respected him for. She said he'd soon crash and she'll be there to laugh at him. I was so uncomfortable as I beheld the man. He was shrunken before me. He was deflated. He tried to gamefully continue the gist to distract me but it was not working. The woman's vitriol was a ceaseless torrent. Uncomfortable silence ensued. I excused myself and left his house. I was really sad. You want to know the truth? This is what most men go through in their houses. They labour and toil and build respect but when they return home, the one who ought to speak to the king in them tears them to shreds and tries to deflate their self-esteem. When they are outside, they try to act cheerful and happy but back home, they are shrivelled because the person they live with makes it a point of duty to verbally assault them. A sad story comes to mind. There was recently a Nigerian Ambassador who was recalled because his wife released a story to the press that he beat her. She also released pictures showing fresh injuries on her body ostensibly inflicted by the man. In a dramatic twist, their children came out to debunk the stories and said their mother faked the injuries to embarrass their dad. Grown up children. A particular sentence by the 1st son saddened me. He said it was as if their mum woke up every morning with one mission in life: how to make their dad miserable. They said they were witnesses to how their mum constantly harassed and abused their dad and wanted the whole world to know that their dad was not who their mum was painting him to be. Yes, opinion shifted on the scandal but the damage had been done. The Ambassador was recalled and nobody heard from him again. A family is currently at odds with the widow of their son and brother. The wife was constantly verbally assaulting him. Nobody wanted to visit them because each time they were around, it was always quarrel and the wife would call him unprintable names. Even in their presence. When they try to interfere, she will give them their own. The man died recently of heart-attack caused by high blood pressure. He was in his late 40s. The family insists his wife sent him to his early grave with her verbal torments. Our bars are filled with men who are afraid to go home to their wives for fear of what verbal torment they will go through. Men are finding every excuse to travel because they'll rather be anywhere than in their own homes. Everybody is focusing on men as culprits in domestic abuse. Who is talking to the women? The impact on generation next? _There's always two sides of the coin. But as Kingdom Oriented People, we must live to make The Different and Raise A Godly Family Example_ *It's our calling n responsibility as Godly Parents!* 32 Likes 4 Shares |

Senator Dino I know you are reading this. I am a highly experienced Civil Engineer having a construction company. Bring N50m let me build 30 Classrooms of worldclass standards that will directly benefit thousands of children of those who voted for you. I will complete them in 2 months. It doesn't cost so much to impact the grassroots. Do what history and the people will forever love you for. My number is on my signature. |

Nnamdi Kanu would have mobilize his boys to ensure the governors develop the south east so that in the next 2 years that place will be paradise. Because sit at home in November won't work. Even if 19 family members of Obiano votes for him and no other person votes he is declared the highest winner |
