Dear Sir,
Like a colossus you emerged from the abysmal territory. Your odyssey, the likes of the spider — that never gave up the fight. The murky political terrains of Nigeria’s politics, you know best. Weathering the storm, yours is the victor’s song. Dear Sir, you did not promise to roof the sky and tile the earth for Nigerians, but you did give a glimmer of hope to the young and aged. Your campaign promises enlivened the deadened heart and reversed the misanthropy expressed by the general highest populace on your predecessors. Where no one can be just and righteous enough to hold you to ransom for the three decades of squalor and misrule that Nigerians have gone through, we are asking that the boat should not wreck in your hand; we are asking that economical, social, and political carnage should not be committed, —– under your watch! You promised hope, messianic was your taint — unbelieving believers cast their doubts to the winds and accepted you just as you are, your Excellency.
Your Excellency Sir, it is better that you die, and be buried in our hearts and memories for ever, than for you to die and be buried in a six-feet marbled grave with flower reeds for decoration. You had better etch your name in the sands of time —- like Mandela did for his people. Your Excellency, how can this be done? Exactly why this epistle is coming to you my President. Sir, since your inception into office, you have been fighting one dare-devil, — corruption, that have become a ministry in Nigeria. Corruption has become both endemic and pandemic; it has clogged the wheel of progress and development in our dear nation. The war you have declared against this monster is a terrific one. You are determined like the Great Zachunni to dislodge and sanitize every sector of corruption. Sir, Nigerians are unequivocally behind you. But this fight has distracted you for so long and you seem to forget your good wishes for the people. To give corruption, and corrupt officials — past and present, as many of their evidence of callousness as you may have, the last warning, tell them to return their loots at a stipulated time; failure to do so, you will send your men — the EFCC, ICPC and other agencies after them. Anything you do to them will be highly backed up by those who serve God and those who don’t do His biddings.
Mr. President Sir, the newly elected U.S president says he is going to depot Nigerians back to their country. Here is the time for you to make history Sir. How? Sir, do you remember that in the early days of Nigeria, that the country depended on agriculture? Of course, you remember that crystal clear. Awolowo, Azikiwe, Sir Ahmadu Bello, and others built their various regions as it was, with the money gained from agriculture. Today, what has happened? Sir, return the country to its origins and past glory. Make Nigeria great again in Africa and the world —- be like Trump. Mr. President, turn your eyes to the farmers. Support the farmers, make farming attractive so that our young graduates can venture into it and save you the headache of “there is no job”. Let there be available and accessible credit facilities where farmers can go and borrow money and start up a farming business — of any sort ( food, animal, and plant farming). If your government returns to farm, give loan, provide fertilizer; every region producing what grows best in their soil, individuals engage in subsistence farming to feed their families, the government investing heavily on the agriculture, agricultural extension workers provided in all the 774 local government areas, India and China will never boast of agriculture being the most lucrative sector of their economy. This country will feed and have excess to export. Nigeria will regain her position as the Giant of Africa. Sir, what next? After each planting season, and harvest time comes, build a Food Bank where you are going to store food stuffs, as silos were used in the north to store grains. Then, let the government buy the food stuffs from the farmers, store it in the Food Bank, which will be in all the states of the federation, then, sell the food at a subsidized rate to the public who cannot afford to buy at a higher rate from the farmers directly. That way, the government is feeding her people and making money in returns. Then, where there is food in abundance, the people have eaten, whatever you tell them, whether lie or truth, they will believe you wholesale. What breeds crime, hate, anger, fighting, avarice, terrorism, and youth restiveness in the society Mr. President? Hunger!
For our education, let us be taught the craft of food production – as it were. Let this be incorporated into our curriculum and be religiously taught in all levels of education. Sir, if you do these, Nigerians will curse whoever curses you. Now, how does the Diaspora come into this picture? Many Nigerians in the Diaspora will return to the country, some with their families, to base here permanently. This is the time we have all been waiting for —- to harness their wealth of experience and potential which they have used in building the First World of trump and the likes! Therefore, you must create an enabling environment and governmental system for them — and direct them to the farm, while they also get involved in other sectors of our economy (our hospitals will have competent doctors). The professionals amongst them can become part-time farmers. There is no profession in this world that Nigerians are not found to be the Best. The very Best brains are found amongst Nigerians. Before long Mr. President, the country will be exporting what it produces. If you are waiting to change the economy, raise the naira, let oil price rise at the international market, fix infrastructure, remove the bureaucratic bottle neck in the civil service, have a stable power generation; get rid of terrorism, before you can clap for yourself, my President you are being deceived. That is not what is utmost in the land now. The people are hungry. God has given us the land and able -bodied human resources. Send us to farm. For the present time, galvanize all the resources at your disposal. Let the minister for agriculture visit the farms in the land and ascertain firsthand the condition of the farmers, and see how to alleviate the present hardship by making sure that the prices of food reduces (especially rice, one of Nigeria’s most staple food). If you want to produce more scientists, innovators, economists, professionals of different colourations, and creative thinkers of repute, send them to the forest. Everything is the bush, under the ground!
Mr. President, the people that create trouble for you are the young people — the people that you have always been telling that they are the leaders of tomorrow. Now, a new wave of crime is committed on daily bases by this group of people who felt disgruntled by what the government did and did not do—that of stealing foods, whether raw or being cooked on fire.

The ‘burial slab’ of Jesus Christ has been uncovered for the first time in centuries, reports say.

The stone shelf, which has for years been encased by marble, is believed by many Christians to have held the body of Jesus after his crucifixion.

Fredrik Hiebert, archaeologist-in-residence at The National Geographic Society, said: “The marble covering of the tomb has been pulled back, and we were surprised by the amount of fill material beneath it”.

“It will be a long scientific analysis, but we will finally be able to see the original rock surface on which, according to tradition, the body of Christ was laid.”

The stone slab is located in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem which is visited by hundreds of thousands of pilgrims every year and its ownership and maintenance is shared in a complex arrangement between the Armenian, Greek Orthodox and Catholic Churches.

It was an emotional weekend for the surviving contestants in the Academy following the eviction of Favour. The tears flowed freely from the remaining contestants when news broke that Favour’s eviction from the project fame academy was real. Ever optimistic with a vivacious disposition and loads of humour, Favour was the livewire of the MTN Project Fame Academy before her departure.

However, she put up a spirited fight before her eviction, performing R&B diva, Toni Braxton’s, hit song ‘Breathe Again’ to the delight of the judges.

Praiz, the newest judge on the show, particularly felt her performance was much improved compared to her previous outings.

While Favour departed to a tearful exit, it was a euphoric moment for Benjamin and Blessing as they gained entry into the famed Academy via the Wild Card they secured at the opening gala alongside Kissi and Seun.

During the performances, the contestants entertained the audience with some of the finest songs from the Pop genre.

However, Pere, Winner, Yusuf, Solomon and Mirabel are up for probation this week having failed to impress the judges. The five contestants will now rely on votes from their fans in order to continue to vie for fame in the show.

Missed this week’s nomination show? Not to worry, catch up on all the excitement by subscribing to the MTN Project Fame Super Subscription.

Simply send PF to 303 for just 100 naira only. The Project Fame Data Bundle also gives you the opportunity to watch exclusive videos and vote for your favorite contestants to remain in the Academy.

Popular comic actor, Osita Iheme popularly referred to as PawPaw, has debunked reports that his relationship with his bestfriend and colleague, Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly referred to as Aki, has deteriorated.


Osita who has seemingly been on his own since his ‘movie twin’ Chinedu, got married, has said the reports are mere speculations as they haven’t been offered scripts that will feature both of them.

Speaking with the Sun, the 33-year-old thespian said:

“There is nothing really going on between us. There is no movie to feature both of us so we have been doing our stuff separately. If any producer wants us together in his movie, then we shall do it as usual.”

On why he has chosen to remain single despite his bestfriend being married for over 6 years, Osita maintain that he is not going to jump into marriage because Chinedua is married.

Cossy Orjiakor share this picture from her fun night with friends on her IG page, but to be frank this is not an encouraging picture… because we have a lot of young people using social networks in Nigeria.
Flaunting of boobs and curves on social networks is a wrong impression to the world of who you are and the world start behaving in the same way, Thinking their role models or mentors are always right!

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has enunciated reasons it is calling for an indefinite nationwide strike from Wednesday, in concert with the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and civil society organizations, to protest the increase in pump price of petrol from N86.50 to N145 per litre and force a reversal. It is based on this that we extracted the reasons enunciated by Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, the General Secretary of the NLC in his own words below
1. Given the harsh economic times in which Nigerians are living, which have been further compounded initially by the hike in electricity tariff, this is not the time to visit another hardship on Nigerians. The economic crisis that the nation is facing already has major negative impact on workers. An average worker on current wage cannot survive because the real wage has been so badly eroded. If we compound it (the problem) through this, we are going to find a situation where there would be conditions that would completely destabilize the workers and their families

2.We are having a government now directing importers of petroleum products to go into the black market to source for foreign exchange. We think this is a recipe for economic crisis because what will happen is that when the volume of the demand for foreign exchange needed to fund importation of products is moved into the black market, the value of the naira is going to crash. And if that were to happen, it has implications on the overall economy itself.

3.A situation where the domestic price of PMS (Premium Motor Spirit) will now be determined by forces in the black market exchange rate is something that is not good for the economy and we are opposed to it.
