Even wrestlers knows when to pass the torch. Buhari has refused to pass the torch to Osinbajo even when he can't perform again

Welcome our visiting President

CNN is laughing at Nigeria for Buhari's disappearance. We deserve the insult and ridicule

President Muhammadu Buhari’s disappearance from his homeland is now fodder for humorous and scathing editorials at the Cable News Network (CNN).

It’s been 85 days since Buhari left Nigeria for an open-ended medical vacation in London.

The Nigerian leader left Nigeria on May 7, 2017.

It took 77 days for the presidency to make pictures of a convalescing Buhari available to the local press.

Days later, the Nigerian president met with another group of Governors. Images from that meeting immediately swarmed the social media space.

The president is looking better than when he left Nigeria’s shores and for that, we are thankful to God.

However, like we’ve said here over and over again, there’s no other country in the world where the president just disappears without a word for over two months. The rest of the world must be shocked to its marrow.

The point has been made time and again that the fact that the nation’s number one citizen is tending to his health in a London apartment, is an indictment on himself and the nation’s ailing health sector he promised to fix.

It’s also arrogant of Buhari that he hasn’t deemed it necessary to speak directly to the millions of people back home who got him elected president in 2015.

The president deemed it necessary to pen a letter from his London apartment to the Guinean president, Alpha Conde, and none to Nigerians.

In the past, Buhari has also made policy pronouncements to the international press during foreign travels, at the expense of the local press who are only considered good enough for press statements.

It is a disdain for the local press that is ingrained within the Buhari presidency.

The irony of a member of the international press taking subtle digs at Buhari and the rest of the nation he leads, therefore wasn't lost on anyone.

“In the more than six months since he took office, President Trump could not have been more visible, dominating headlines just about every day”, said CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on his program, the Global Public Square (GPS), last weekend.

Continuing in tongue-in-cheek fashion, Zakaria said; “One country has had the opposite problem in recent months and it brings you to my question: Which country’s head of state has not set foot in his homeland in over two months?”

Zakaria’s options were:

A)Saudi Arabia (B) Cuba (C) Nigeria (D)Syria.

Everyone got the answer right. Every Nigerian got the answer right.

The answer was staring us in the face. CNN and Zakaria were having a laugh at our expense and let’s be honest, we asked for it.

I was having lunch while watching Zakaria pose the question during a segment of his program. It was all I needed to shove the bowl of rice out of sight and bid my appetite some farewell for the rest of the day.

See our life outside.

It wasn’t lost on me that CNN and the rest of the world were mocking Nigeria and Nigerians.

It was embarrassing. This was one odium and ridicule well deserved from Zakaria and his team.

We are still awaiting our president and he has promised that once his Doctors hand him the all clear, he’ll be back home. As always, we wish him a speedy recovery and will welcome him home with open arms whenever he chooses to return.

But let’s not dismiss the ridicule from CNN and the international community on account of Buhari’s medical sojourn.

Years from now, when school kids are asked the question: “Which country’s head of state did not set foot in his homeland in over….” during exams, there’ll only be one answer--Nigeria.

Thank you Baba Buhari. We are back on the world map thanks to you and we are really grateful for the honour.

Congratulations Kwara people

A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, has advised the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, to forgive former President Olusegun Obasanjo and move on.

George said this during an interview with our correspondent on Friday.

He told Fayose that God had already fought for him by allowing him to return as governor of Ekiti eight years after his impeachment.




George said he was aware that his imprisonment for financial impropriety was “nothing but political persecution” and that was why he was later exonerated by the Supreme Court.

He, however, said he never had the intention of becoming the Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees and therefore doubted if that was the reason for his incarceration.

George said, “My advice to my younger brother in Ekiti State is that it is time for him to forgive and forget and let sleeping dogs lie. He was impeached but God reinstated him as governor after eight years. What more can a man ask for?

“He should forgive and forget. We should not wash our dirty linen in public.

“I have always said that my imprisonment was nothing but persecution and I have been vindicated by the highest court in the land. I never wanted to become BoT Chairman so I doubt if that was the reason why I was treated that way. The BoT chairman is chosen from among the elders within the party and not by other organs.”

Following closely

The flood has not only been consistent, it has also wrecked a lot of damage; reminding them that one cannot sow thorns and expect flowers to blossom
Before Lekki, there was Maroko.

The evil that was perpetrated against the Biafrans could be falsely justified that in war all is fair. But for the Maroko evictees, no words can give reasons for the horror they were brutally forced to experience.

Not everybody remembers Maroko today. The haughtiness of Lekki's flamboyant structures, coupled with some classified part of Victoria Island, seems to make a mockery of her memory.

Maroko was what is today known as Oniru Royal Estate; some parts of Victoria Island and Lekki Phase one.

Being a settlement of low-income earners, Maroko easily attracted a lot of migrants as it was in close proximity to economically robust areas.

They made their living by supplying the needed skills to businesses located at nearby Islands of Lagos. And with a population of over 300,000 people (out of which about 50,000 were children), and 10,000 landlords, Maroko became very popular among Lagosians.

It is important to state here that Maroko, as a community, was humble, contented, and peaceful. community.

However, in July 1990, a tragic event occurred. But shortly before then, they were graced with a visitation.
On November 17, 1989, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida which was the head of states, Raji Rasaki the then governor of Lagos state and the then newly created Eti-Osa Local Government boss, Olatunde Beecroft, visited Maroko.

And because almost all the languages in Nigeria were duly represented in the community, IBB, during the trip, described Maroko as 'a mini Nigeria'.

In addition, he urged the residents to continue to embrace government programmes; promising that soon, he would send Rasaki to fast track the development of the community.

The ovations that followed were high and the jubilation was contagious. Little did they know it was a plot.

How could they have known?

So it happened that over the course of twelve days on July 14, 1990, the Nigerian government destroyed the entire settlement of Maroko, which includes residential houses, religious institutions, schools, businesses, medical clinics, and community spaces; just after seven days of quit notice.

There were residents who were too young, too old, too ill or too heavy with pregnancy to act swiftly. Eleven-year-old Bose Atie, a primary five student of Kuramo Primary School, Victoria Island, died when walls of her father's house, located in 20, Seriki Street, Maroko, fell on her.

She was among the many that lost their lives in the process.

It was the peak of raining season, and those that managed to survive the raid were subjected to helplessness. Words cannot possibly describe their misery.
According to the Leader of Maroko Evictees Committee, Tajudeen Jegede; should one put all the things that happened in Maroko in mind, such a fellow would not last more than two years before he or she died of heart attack.

"My dear brother," he reportedly went on to say: "Maroko story is really too sad to talk about. I lost a lot to the Maroko injustice. How many will I count? I lost three wives. There were a lot of atrocities; raping housewives, raping young girls. Some of the demolitions were carried out in the night."

There are thousands of similar experiences.

Sadly, the Nigerian government has failed to give a sensible reason for the forceful eviction up until this day.

They had said at a time that the residents were chased out because the land was below the sea level and all they wanted was for the people to vacate the place, sand fill it and return them there. What a story for the gods?

Yes, once in a while, its residents experienced ocean incursion but never was it recorded that the surge carried the least domestic animal.

The truth is, just like David in the scripture saw the wife of Uriah and lusted after her, so did the elites, with Rasaki as their arrow head, saw Maroko and thought it good for mega urbanization.

After all, the Island of Victoria was beginning to fall short of space and there were millionaires who wanted to let others know they have arrived.

Thus, King David had to devise a plot to get Uriah killed if Bathsheba is to become his own.

But shamelessness will not let them admit this. The disease of inhumanity has eaten deep into their souls.
Shamefully, that same reason for which they claim to have demolished Maroko still happens in the luxurious clustered phases of Lekki. Only that it is now worse than before.

As a matter of fact, the flood has not only been consistent, it has also wrecked a lot of damage; reminding them that one cannot sow thorns and expect flowers to blossom.

Why have they not come to demolish lekki, to re-sand fill, since they care more for the safety of Nigerians?

During the last flood incursion, which was July 8, 2017, the Commissioner of Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare was reported to have said that it is now of paramount importance for owners of buildings or structures impeding the free-flow of storm water, wherever they exist in the State, to voluntarily quit forthwith in the overriding public interest or risk being removed by the State Government.
Upon hearing this, one is forced to ask: Is there a structure in Lekki that was raised without an approved plan? Were surveys not carried out before their approval? Who did the approving?

Another demolition is coming, and the poor people are getting worried.

When Maroko was demolished, there were no plans by the government to relocate the evictees.

It was through endless agitations by civil society organizations, shouting to the world that made them reconsider. Prominent among the activists were Femi Falana, the Civil Liberties Organisation, and Prof. Wole Soyinka.

When the government announced that they have provided places the evictees could stay at Jakande, Epe, and Ikota, they did it to save their face.

It was an abandoned estate over-grown with elephant grass with most of the blocks wanting in roofs, windows, and doors. The ground also was filled with swampy waters and reptiles of all kinds.
There was no electricity, no roads or drinkable water. There was also no health centre and the nearest primary and secondary schools then were so far that the children stopped going to school.

For the sake of greed, the contended people of Maroko were forced to experienced separation from family members, desertion, loneliness, hopelessness, hunger and all sort of illnesses associated with it.

And to survive, young girls turned prostitutes for bread and their young men got lost without focus.

The majority were allocated flats that never exist. And countless of them died struggling to survive as many got lost with the wind.

It's been twenty-seven years since the forceful eviction yet justice has refused to prevail, and greed still has the upper hand over empathy.

Nollywood starlet, Silverline Nancy Onuoha, is an evolving bag of tricks set to take Nollywood by storm.

Though she only has a few films to her credit, the Enugu State-born, Lagos bred, and Kenya schooled light-skinned, slim-frame beauty has always had the acting DNA in her blood.

She started acting from her primary school, where she was always the lead character until the big challenge of Nollywood, which according to her, is as stimulating as it is refreshing...
