BAYELSA AND THE DEFENESTRATION OF HOPE.
When I was 15 years old, I heard someone use the phrase it's the hope that kills' and I couldn't wrap my head around the actual import of that statement. I thought to myself, how does hope kill? Shouldn't hope be part of the good guys along with Grace, Faith etc. I thought if at all anyone has been a tenant to disappointment, isn't hope the currency that keeps us alive in the market place of things we can't control? Years later, The Bayelsa State Government helped in solving that mind puzzle by showing how hope kills as much as malaria. So what is the value of hope in the conflict between optimism and cynicism when it comes to leadership in Bayelsa State.
Having travelled to 19 state capitals in Nigeria, I can tell you for free that Yenagoa is the least developed despite its petro dollar gotten from oil wealth. If data gotten from National Bureau of Statistics is anything to go by, then unemployment and underemployment figures from Bayelsa is worst then the National average. Also Bayelsa has failed to have a transparent IGR regime over the past 24yrs, this is why Zamfara State boasts of a higher IGR figures than Bayelsa year in year out. Our optimism of hope is fast eroding and has done very little in terms of actual boots on ground doing the heavy lifting.
So many questions comes to mind, why have we allowed kakistocracy to take the center stage while we stand beside and look. Why do we celebrate integrity challenged charlatans who lack the rudimentary charisma to be role models. Why do we feel we can’t do better as a people besides following politicians all over the place. Why do we sell our votes for some filthy lucre. If you must sell your votes then the price is N17M per head. Government after Government Yenagoa remains the same yet those in positions of leadership are being described in flowery terms such as astute, distinguished, honorable etc. At some point, we must realize that you can’t be a good politician and be poor at governance, you cannot be an astute politician when the human development index of your state is similar to those in war torn countries. We must ask ourselves who our heroes are because a society without values hardly makes it.
In the end our support for politicians and political parties must be centered on the foundation of competence and tested integrity. False hope or unfulfilled expectations has led to deeper disillusionment in our beloved state. Hope alone, without substantive action and leadership, can perpetuate disappointment and stagnation as we have seen in the last 24years. When hope is consistently unmet by tangible results, cynicism takes root. In Bayelsa, the gap between expectations fueled by hope and the reality of underdevelopment has lead to a sense of resignation and skepticism about the possibility of meaningful change.
Finally, there is a need for active citizen engagement and a willingness to demand better governance. This includes resisting the sale of votes and holding leaders accountable. We must realize that apathy and lack of consequence for poor governance perpetuate the cycle of ineffectiveness. The challenge therefore is to transform hope into tangible progress by fostering effective leadership and active citizenship.

Greatest fellow Nigerians, President Muhammadu Buhari have put up the mandate to us to make Nigeria great again by declaring his intention for second term.
This man means we'll for Nigerians,
He entered office in 2015:
1. And since 2016,boko-haram became handicap to attack and other terrorist groups like ipob are now exterminated and their leader dead somewhere.
2. And now Looters are afraid of the name Nigeria.
3. And all is set for the payment of 5000 to all Nigerian youths.
4. And now bag of rice that was N22000 is N5000.
5. And now though dollar is high, it decreasing rate shows that in the next quarter of the year, 000.01 naira will be equal to 1 dollar and perhaps people have never been this rich in other regime compare to our great PMB regime.
6. Millions of employment everyday as those who were even sack are now getting more better jobs.
7. No strikes in our tertiary institutions again.
8. Great infrastructures now showing up every now and then both in the SS, SE, NE, NW, NC, SW... Just name it.
9. Improvement in public health care that even the president son and family are now attended to medically in Nigeria.
10. Nigeria is now written with integrity all over the world that if we can extend PMB tenure to 2023 and even add more years, a permanent seat in the UN is sure for us.
11. Industry are now working that we can now see self-driven cars on our highways.

Let support this man of change forever.

I hope the foolish company contracted to conduct apptitude test won't go and set journalism questions for management students

Yesterday, I commended the efforts of Lagos State Agencies for their response to the sad incident & the situation report released yesterday by LASEMA's General Manager. This shows not everything is bad about Nigeria. Lagos is working. Lagos has so many agencies in different areas from finance, Judiciary, commerce down to transport & emergency management where the agencies at work yesterday night till this morning carried out their duties.

That is why the casualties are not much and the road cleared less than 24hrs. Continuity from Tinubu, Fashola to Ambode has made management of large government ministries & agencies a working one.

stupid afonja , apc ,zombie,fool that's what you are
