2019 THE CHOICES BEFORE EVERY POLITICIAN


THAT CAMPAIGNS WILL NOT CONTINUE TO BE A SEASON OF SWEET NOTHINGS:

“It’s so unfortunate
that in 58 years of
Nationhood, our
campaign slogans
are relatively the same”
~ Michael Botu

Good Roads, Functional Health Delivery System, Steady Power Supply, Affordable Houses and Food, Quality Education, Portable, Safe and Clean Drinking Water and Security of lives and Property are the basic expectations of majority of Nigerians from the Political Class.

Now in all sincerity, does it take rocket science to fix roads that major roads across the Country are in a state of disrepair? Why is it difficult for successive Governments to break the jinx and achieve steady power supply? Why are our Hospitals still mere consulting centers?

This therefore is the challenge before the political Class as we march towards 2019. Dennis Waitley puts it succinctly, when he said “There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they are existing or accept the responsibility for changing them” will you be that Politician that will make the difference?

We have models to copy at home; The Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners’ Chapel Cannaan Land Ota - South West Nigeria have proven that, steady power supply can be achieved as there has never been Power failure there since 1999. The Church also runs a very effective educational system from Primary to University that’s comparable to any in the World. Excuses are no longer tenable, the sooner we realize that the better for us all.

Alan Nunnelee said “I know what motivated you was not just a political campaign. It was your love for our Country” May the Love For Country Motivate and Guide your Utterances this Season of Campaigns and Beyond!

2019 promises to be a New Dawn for our Nation, will you reading this be that Politician?

We are here to bridge the gap.

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called Bail

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

Image
THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and West

TINUBU: IS THIS THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME?

 TINUBU: IS THIS THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME? “Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty.” ~ John Huston Finley Nigerians by now are used to the unpredictability of governance as we have endured mostly uncertainty in the past eight (8) years But I think supporters and none supporters of BAT would have hoped for a better way to commence his days in office and not to be welcomed with uncertainty occasioned by a needless pronouncement and the nightmare of fuel scarcity that followed  Having a positive start for the administration would have given the nay sayers the impression that there may be light at the end of the tunnel after all.  The damage control notwithstanding, it's obvious our President is convinced that if Nigerians either directly or Mahmoudly opted to have him as president amidst uncontrolled inflation, bitting fuel scarcity and unavailability of cash due to the ill conceived and not well thought out policy of currency redesign his Party embarked upon, then we are a
