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 already used to the suffering and smiling (apologies to The Legend)


And he is not far from the truth, Nigerians are matured and the hallmark of maturity is the capacity to deal with uncertainty. Handlers of Mr. President should know that the campaigns are over and anything he says now is taken seriously as they can see with the fuel scarcity.

We hope sincerely that this not "the shape of things to come?"

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

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were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made.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
