Dont ever try the yahoo plus way, its ritual..keep huzzling Oluwa will answer your prayers.

The publisher of Ovation Magazine and Nigerian politician Cbief Dele Momodu blows hot in his quest to finding an answer to his question which is now at the centre of our political discourse now in Nigeria. He wondered why a big country like Nigeria with brilliant people should be reduced to cow discussion.

Below are excerpt of his video talk…….

Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu has weighed in on the herdsmen and farmers crises, asking why cows have become so important that they now form a topic for national discourse. He lamented how marauding herdsmen are returning Nigeria to the stone age and antiquity with their nefarious activities.

“We are discussing cows everyday. A cow business is supposed to be a personal and private business. If you want to sell your cows, you want to breed your cows, set it up as a business.

Your business stops where mine begins. You cannot bring your cows on my farmland and say I have nor right to complain. If you must do any business, do it according to the dictates of running a business. We are not the largest cow producing or breeding country in the world. We are not even among the top 20.” Momodu said in the eight minutes video He continued: “How come we want to continue to practice archaism?

We want to remain in the stone age. We want to remain in antiquity. People carrying cows up and down inside the forest, and then you endanger the lives of people. A man who studied and went abroad, got his Ph.D then came back, one illiterate will just kidnap him, take his money and kill him inside the bush. Is that how to run a country? When you say that they will say you don’t like government.

No! I have brilliant Fulani friends. Why do we want to reduce an entire race to cow? It’s wrong. It’s even unfair on the hardworking Fulanis. It’s unfair on the brilliant Fulanis who went to school. ALSO READ: Edo Insecurity: CSO writes Buhari to save our soul letter “It’s sad that we have reduced the nation to a nation of cows. What’s so special about beef? The Yorubas have a saying that ‘we cannot start calling the cow uncle because we ant to eat beef.

And then we are told that these cattle rearers are not even Nigerians but they have freedom to come into Nigeria while we are shutting borders against people in Seme and all those places. We are shutting our borders against those who want to do even their legitimate business. We are shutting borders and complicating life for our children who are going to school in Cotonou, Lome and Accra. We make life difficult but cattle rearers can stroll in and out anywhere and we say they have every right.” He advised affected governors to demand and enforce a ban on cattle wanderers in their forest.

If I don't know Rivers State I would have passed. But let me tell you something about rivers State.

2005 February 17th I bought 50 speed boat with double engine,for Bonny Island, wholesale price, I never made profit from that business,

The old boat owners saw me as a threat, they sabotaged my boat, my boat was sinking on every trip, similar thing happening to Peace motors, thousands of people still died after I held prayer and fasting.

Just Forget these people, they are their own problems, they don't want to go to school, they don't have hand work. only bunkering and cultism. and sex


they always claim "son of the soil title" . inshort most of them are wasted. every month Oil companies does cleanup because they won't work, they prefer breaking pipes

that is why they hardly travel to other states, they feel rivers State is the center of the universe

The Republic of China has warned and threatened Taiwan of war if it dares call for her independence yesterday. Beijing has termed it calling for independence means ‘war’ as it would face severe confrontation.

But the United States of America has condemned China’s statement and position calling it and unfortunate statement and confrontation is not needed at a time like this when the world is facing so much challenges and the polity being overheated by the two countries.

Taiwan had recently called and demand for her independence to be a sovereign state from China but it seems China is not taking any of that as it is prepared to go confrontational with Taiwan if it dares plan to be a sovereign state.

Naira Bounces Back At Parallel Market to close @#470/$1

The naira seems to be regaining its strength gradually as the year slowly winds up after a long streak of of losing its value to the dollar in the black market otherwise known as the parallel market.

Reports have it that as at last week Friday, dollar was sold @#477/$1 but beginning this week the naira recovered slowly as it dropped to #473 and now #470 per dollar.

Many analysts figured out that it could be as a result of the new remittance policy put in place by the Central Bank of Nigeria which has opened another window of opportunities for those willing to receive their remittance in dollar currency which could still further lead to a drop in the value of dollar against the naira coupled with the new order of border reopening.

The international human rights organisation popularly known as Amnesty International has called for thorough investigations into the shootings and killings of peaceful protesters which occurred at the Lekki toll gate by uniformed men perceived to be member from the military against young Nigerians holding the Nigerian flags and singing the national anthem.

According to the Amnesty International, they have evidence from live stream satellite video coverage that shows when some soldiers left the Bonny camp in Lagos at exactly 6:29pm and therefore called on the Nigerian government to institute an independent investigation into the killings and bring to book those responsible for this heinous crime and wanton shootings against harmless citizens and also accused the government of always covering up for the military any time such dastard act is carried out.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army have denied any shooting or killing of peaceful protesters and stated that the Lagos state governor invited them to maintain peace and order during the announcement of curfew in the state.

Ace Nigerian actor turned politician and currently a member in the House of Assembly, Lagos state was alleged to have called for the regulation of social media space and charged the youths to stop the hatred already and go get their PVC’s in order to enter into governance while speaking at a plenary session at the Lagos state House of Assembly recently.

Speaking on Arise Television 9 pm news interview session with Amaka Udeh, cleared the air and denied stating he was calling for the regulation of the social media and admitted he benefited from the social media in the past, but explained that we have to change the narrative from the curses and hate speech to peace and love and rebuilding the country while calling for devolution of power from the central to states and regions pointing out that there is too much power at the centre.

In an emotion laden voice, the embattled Desmond Eliot who was obviously close to tears decried the killings and burning of lives and properties especially private owned properties and apologised for speaking with so much emotions during the plenary which many have misunderstood and taken out of context.

Amidst mild protest coming from the Democrats in the congress and senate, the Republicans in the Senate have finally succeeded in ratifying and confirming the judge Amy Barret Coney as the new justice to the US supreme court.
This is coming barely some few weeks to the US presidential general elections which many see as a political calculation by the Donald Trump administration to tilt the voting pattern in favour of the Republican party against their main rival opposition party the Democrats.

Judge Amy Barret Coney has now been sworn in as the newest justice of the supreme court and said to be a staunch catholic and a very strict and disciplined judge and also someone who is anti gay and anti abortion movement in the US.
This might be a game changer to President Trump’s political tactics to garner more votes from the religious perspective especially from catholic fatefuls in the United States.

There seems to be no end in sight to the youth restiveness in the country on the issue of an end to police brutality , government oppression of the citizens which was tagged as #EndSARS in Nigeria.
It initially started as a peaceful protest by angry youths against police brutality and later snowballed into into chaos as other youths perceived to have been hired by politicians as thugs hijacked the process by attacking the peaceful protesters, burning cars and other valuables properties culminating into further aggravation of the entire process and when the military eventually attacked and opened fire against peaceful protesters at the Lekki toll gate , the whole exercise was erupted with tears and blood coupled with both national and international widespread condemnation of the shootings and killings that took place in Lekki.

Things later took another event and went out of control as youths vented their anger against the state as government properties being burnt down including private owned businesses and properties. Then followed the discovery of Covid-19 palliatives kept in warehouses across the country beginning from Lagos.
The looting of the warehouses has taken place in Lagos,Osun, Jos, Edo, Taraba, Adamawa, Yobe, Kaduna, Anambra, Enugu, Kwara, etc and now, the latest now is Gwagwalada, Abuja warehouse including burning and looting of some of the senators residence in calabar and Oyo.

We are hoping the state governors will learn a serious lesson from this and start the equitable distribution of these resources donated by the organised private sectors called CACOVID palliatives donated to all state governments in order to alleviate the sufferings of the poor masses in the country.

It was indeed a sad tale at the Lagos Lekki toll gate, the usual venue for the youth protesters zone #ENDSARS as the Police and Military personnel (soldiers) opened live fire against the peaceful youth protesters, and shooting sporadically with so many of them left dead on the ground and many sustained injury, as the protesters were seen running for safety.

Lekki toll gate as been attack by military men, we need help #EndSARS pic.twitter.com/DSppEe7JWg
Reports reaching us had it that the lights within and around the axis and CCT cameras were turned off so that recording of events would not be captured during the sporadic shooting.
The shooting which lasted for some hours saw about 11 young able Nigerians body lying dead and lifeless on the ground, soaked in blood, one of which the brain popped out in gory sights as many were wounded and rushed to the various hospitals within the Lekki axis for treatment and as emergency case.

Meanwhile the Lagos state government has ordered the closure of all state owned and private schools in Lagos and also placed a curfew in Lagos in order to forestall any escalation but the youths seem not to be deterred by such order as they are determined to continue to fight for their rights and demands for good governance and an end to police brutality.

Inspite of the Inspector General of Police acceding to the Nigerian youths demand on #ENDSARS protests across the country and globally, by issuing a directive from the force command to dissolve the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad across the federation, the Nigerian youths have continued to protest against SARS brutality.

It was learnt that the youths have presented 5 demands to the government on the anti SARS protest key among which is scrapping out SARS but even though the government has acceded to the demand, the youths are still not happy as the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed has introduced a new unit called SWAT as a replacement to SARS.

This is obviously being seen as an ordinary change of name or nomenclature with same group of people controlling the operations of SARS, without no extra or new training or recruitment process, techniques, tactics, and mode of operations.

The die is cast , as today mark's the D-day for the long awaited Ondo state governorship election which is an off-season election.

The major gubernatorial candidates gearing up for today’s election are the APC candidate who is the incumbent governor of the state and also the ruling party with much popularity in the state, the governor will be thriving based on his achievements at the helm of affairs in the state and projects carried out.

His major rival in today’s election is the People’s Democratic Party candidate Eyitayo Jegede who is a popular candidate in the state having served as former attorney general and Commissioner of justice in the state.

Many feel the Edo victory for PDP might be replicated in Ondo state based on the fast and growing popularity of the PDP in the state and country at large.

The last but obviously not the least is Agboola Ajayi who is the deputy governor of the state. He decamped from the APC to join the PDP and contested the primaries but was defeated by Eyitayo Jegede and immediately left for the Zenith Labour Party, ZLP. He is also adjudged to be a grassroots politician and aims to clinch the governorship seat in the state.
