And all I have to say is thank you Lord Jesus!

Good Omen?

Since it was reported that Kelechi Iheanacho of the golden eaglet's fame was on his way to start a professional career with man city. I was skeptical about such move, my argument was that man city does not have a youth strucure for the likes of kelechi. Now, that the news has filtered in regarding a change of destination for this super talent, I am relieved that his career will not crash even before it starts!

Celebrate with me!

Grateful to God for making this yuletide quite unique. I am celebrating this with my first car!

The President's aides!

I have strong reservations for the likes of especially Chief Doyin Okupe who has been quite consistent with praise singing of successive governments irrespective of quality of governance. The other is Reuben Abati who I have great respect while he was at the Guardian Nigeria. I am not sure if he still has a mind of his own! Thats quite sad. Most of the time they lack objectivity in their response to national matters which really beats my imagination. They need be reminded that will not always remain ir their respective position forever!

President Jonathan replies Ex president Obasanjo!

The president eventually brokes his silence with regards to the open letter by ex president Obasanjo! I have read part of the reply and I can see that it was a reply well written and meant to clarify critical issues raised by his predecessor as his silence would have been seen as assent.

Thought of the day!

It is not the class of your certificate that determines your destiny but your character.

A season of open letters!

The drama of open letters started with Ex president Olusegun Obasanjo to incumbent president Goodluck Jonathat firing the first salvo by raising critical issues about the Jonathan administation ranging from corruption, the menace of the boko haram sect, formation of a killer squad etc. It didnt take before Obj got his own fair share of open letter from no other person than Iyabo obasanjo. It is not enough to write open letters but concerted effort should be made to address issues raised in these weighty letters. You as early as when I was in primary going to secondary I had seen Nigeria as sitting on a keg of gun powder waiting to explode! Surprisingly over twenty years down the line the gun powder refuses to explode! Can I say it is divine? It may not be far from it I suppose as the divine purpose will always and necessarily overide man's plans and intentions. I am tired of these open letters meant to heat up the polity without concrete solutions!

Whither Rivers State Police Command!

The recent court judgement in favour of the Rivers state assembly to resume sitting after been taken over by the National Assembly some months back is a welcome development. What I don't really understand is why the leadership of the Rivers state police command refuses to enforce the court ruling thereby raising questions as to its integrity and at the same time seen to be behaving like touts in the face of the critical public observers. The running battle between the police and the state executive is an embarrassment to both institutions and should be addressed with every sense of objectivity instead of playing deadly politics!

Sleep well Mandela! Your legacy lives on.

I woke up this day to learn of the death of one of the world's most reverred leaders and Africa's pride Nelson Mandela. What a sacsrifice he made for south africans? Such is really seen. He represents alot to different people but all are positives. He is the father of modern south africa. There are so much to write about him but let me apply the breaks for now. Adieu Nelson Mandela!

Another baby factory!

What is this country turning into? The other time a baby was discovered we all thought that was the end until recently another baby factory was discovered in Imo state, south east Nigeria . What could be adduced for this criminal act? Poverty? Quest to get rich by all means? Moral decadence? Negligence by parents of their teenage girls? Whatever the reason that may be adduced the act is despicable and must be condemned in its entirety!

My Birthday!

Its my birthday today! Join me in celebrating God's faithfulness to the philosopher king!

ASUU STRIKE, THE DRAMA CONTINUES.

It is a shame that up until this moment the Assu strike lingers even after the much publicised meeting with Pres. Jonathan. If you ask me maybe we should look beyond this year. Its my opinion.

My birthday is tomorrow!

All too soon a year will be added unto me! Thank you Jesus.

Hope Rising for University Students!

I am quite optimistic that finally the strike is about to be called off and this is for real. My thanks to President Good luck  Jonathan for stepping in personally in a strike that has dragged on for four months!I hope we will not have any cause whatsoever to witness sucha strike again! Nigerian Students get ready for the marathon!

This is me!

Good morning friends! check me out on this pix. Thought you should see another image of me. I will try as much as possible to have my blog as busy as ever. Thanks!

Congratulations Gallant Eaglets!

I have been missing in action for a while now but its great to be back! lets say I have been taking care of other business. It is with much joy I congratulate our Golden eaglets for their record breaking performance at the just concluded FIFA U17 World Cup as they obviously show class! My candid advice to the NFF (Ngeria Football Federation and the powers that be is that these eaglets should be groomed for the U20  team.

Whither Canadian Immigration!

I believe some things should pass on compassionate grounds. And that is what I expected the Canadian Immigration to have done to the two Nigerian Students who have taken refuge at a shopping mall for a year to prevent been deported!

ASUU strike increases prostitution!

One of the telling effects of the ongoing ASUU strike is increasing rate of prostitution among the students. My appeal to ASUU is to see reason with the FG and call off its strike as even dearhs has been recorded as a result of the strike!

Good News for University students!

If the reports reaching me is anything to go by then Nigerian university students will soon smile again as agreement is said to have been reached between the federal government and the academic staff union of universities! More to come.

Congrats Super Eagles!

The game of football is about goals. It was as though Nigeria was heading for a defeat until the table turned against the smooth playing ethiopians. It was a day the ethiopians played far better than nigeria especially in the first half. This result puts nigeria firmly on their way to brasil 2014! I am sure nigeria will the job done in the second leg. The super eagles deserves a hearty congratultion from moi!

A WINNER EMERGES!

The PDP candidate in the just concluded delta central senatorial bye election E.E Aguariavwodo seem to have won the election in what looks like a landslide victory! I believe its time for the urhobo nation to move forward and attain enviable heights and take its rightful place! Urhobo wa doo!

Bye election fever grips delta central!

It is quite tensed in delta central where the bye election to fill the vacant seat in the senate is on. On the ground assessment shows that the election is frought with delays and low voter turnout. I am particularly surprised as I expected a far better turnout. INEC doesn't seem to have overcome the challenge of late arrival of voting materials. I am still at the unit where am, expected to vote having left home very early to perform my civic duty!

A NEW DAY!

I can't help but appreciate the Glory and the Lifter of my head for His goodness and mercy towards me! I woke up feeling great all thanks to my Maker who has made it so. Just want to say thank you, Lord!

Delta central senatorial bye election; who wins?

The stage is now set for the bye election to fill the vacant seat of the delta central senatorial seat upon the demise of senator pius ewverido. It is straight fight between the candidate of the PDP,APC and DPP come 12 october 2013, who previously held the post. As we all know the delta central senatorial district is predominantly occupied by the urhobos and has eight of the twenty five local councils in the state. The winner of the bye election will by implication give an idea of the party that will produce the next governor of the state come 2015 that has been held by the PDP since 1999. From moi I wish all the parties great and healthy contest. My appeal is that all and sundry should shun electoral violence, political thuggery and ballot snatching etc. The time has come for the aforementioned to be a thing of the past. I am going to exercise my civic right by voting for the candidate of my choice!

TIME TO LEARN! PHILOSOPHY 101.

This is an introduction to philosophy as a course of study. Yours truly read philosophy as his first degree and thought you should have a feel of my course of study in the university. Funny enough, I never knew or heard of the word philosophy until I gained admission to read it. It left me far better than the course I initially intended to study. I have no regrets studying philosophy at all! Now what is philosphy? It is gotten from two greek words 'philo' and 'sophia' which means 'love of wisdom'. There are countless definitions of philosohy whose words originated from pythagoras the philospher behind the pythagoras theorem in mathematics. Let this definition suffice which is that it studies the fundamental nature of existence, of man, and of man's relationship to existence. While a philosophy is a comprehensive system of ideas about human nature and the nature of the reality we live in. It is a guide for living, because the problems it addresses are basic and pervasive, determining the course we take in life and how we treat other people.

Good morning friends!

I am so on top of the world for the Lord's mercies upon my life, family and precious friends. This day must cooperate with us for joy to be full. There will not be any carryover of our due blessings in Jesus, name. I can see a new beginning. Praise the Lord!

Periodic Giveaways!

I am introducing periodic giveaways on a date to be announced. So watchout for this blog! All you need to do is to answer some trivia questions correctly and you will become a Winner!

Here this!

If you do not know where you are going everywhere will look like it. Again hold on to your dream so that others will not hire you to complete theirs!

Pres. Jonathan and 2015.

The media has been awash with speculation as to whether the President is going to return to contest in 2015 for a considerable time now. The president in his wisdom has preferred to be evasive in that he wishes to focus on the present tenure and deliver on his electoral promises to Nigerians. The president is in order as between now and 2015 u just can never tell what can happen because that is the exclusive preserve of the Almighty God. It is not in the place of the president to determine that unless of course he wants to play God. But if my opinion is sought as to whether the president would contest then my answer will be in the affirmative and will almost certainly win! Why? We still dont have a credible opposition to change the course of government at that level. The opposition could do well in the states and local government and that is my take. While 2015 is yet to come let me advice the media to shift the attention of Nigerians to more pressing developmental challenges and emphasize less on speculation surrounding the 2015 elections. The Philosopher king has spoken!

Not Again!

As unpredictable as it is plane crashes sometimes could be avoided or prevented. This brings to question the plane crash involving the remains of Segun Agagu ex ondo state Governor and others on board. What exactly was wrong that could not be detected especially when it is observed that the plane had not even gone far at all! It is strange that a plane carrying the dead could still crash? Does it bear any metaphysical interpretation? Well, it remains to be seen but from my little understanding it doesn't appear to be a good sign! A sad development as this should provoke our reason for existence and make swift reconciliiation with our maker wher we fall short. And thereafter continue to live right.

Happy birthday Nigeria!

Just want to congratulate all of us that are Nigerians both within and in the diaspora! It is a thing of Joy to mark our 53 years of independence. We may not be where we desire to be as a nation but sure we are not where we used to be before independence. Whatever the challenges we face as a nation are not insurmountable and peculiar to us only. That is why we must with one voice rise against that which has bedevilled us as a nation. I am proud to be a Nigerian irrespective of what others say or think cos I really don't have any other country I can call my own. So, it behoves on us to make the Nigerian dream a reality. Now, I handover Nigeria to HIM That is able to do exceedingly and above more than we can ever think or ask to beautify Nigeria and make it truly great for all of us!

Federal Legislators and Their Jumbo Salaries!

Once again the issue of the jumbo salary of federal legislators have been brought to the fore, this time by The Economist of London. The first time such was published it was vehemently denied by the legislators now another foreign publication still on the same issue of over bloated salary. How can Nigeria's lawmakers be the highest paid in the world where there is poverty and devastating unemoloyment! The average legislator earn N30.6M per annum! This is obviously waste of resources! When Sanusi the Central Bank Governor made such an assertion before now, they almost chopped his head off but he was obviously telling the truth! On the other hand we have a government that posits that meeting ASUU demands will run down the entire government! Is it not a case of misplaced priorities? It is clear here that the salaries of the legislators need to be revisitied and adjusted to meet up with current realties as the federal purse CANNOT continue to fund such remuneration of politians whose productivity is infinitestimal compared to the real sectors! Little wonder these politicians will do just about anything to win election as they see it as an avenue to make stupendous wealth at the expense of taxpaying Nigerians. We just have to get it right by doing the right thing.

A word of caution ladies!

I am inspired to write to our young ladies that are most especially in our universities and polytechnics not to throw caution into the wind in their quest for the good life. That they should be mindful of the company they associate with as evil communication corrupts good manners. They come in the form of Aristos, sugar daddies, 'uncle' etc. Most of these are ritualists, destiny snatchers and dream killers etc. Ladies whatever they promise to give are temporary compared to the damage they do to your destinies to keep them going. Please ladies be wise and concentrate on the purpose that took you to that school in the first place. I pray for you that you will not end up like so many in the name of runs in Jesus, name. A they say is enough for the wise!

THE FG-ASUU IMPASSE.

There seem to be no end in sight in the strike action embarked upon by ASUU and that is worrisome! I thought dialogue is the way to go in resolving disputes but it doesnt appear it is achieving its purpose. The FG is letting us understand it cannot meet up with the 2009 agreement which ASUU insists upon.If I may ask was the FG forced to sign an agreement it cannot keep? Or was it signed then to get ASUU off their back? Then that will be acting in bad faith I must say! There must be a shifting of grounds by both parties for the stalemate to be resolved. Let not the system collapse before our very eyes!

Thanksgiving!

In every situation give thanks to God for this His concerning us in Christ Jesus. A thankful life is a tankful one!

My Testimony!

This God is a very Big God! His ways are truly highly than ours. Unquestionably He is the Lord. I had a list of priorities or needs that I have asked Him for in their rightful order. He srutinzed the list and when He moved He stunned me and left me speechless with a beautiful and wholesome miracle. Its a Total Package! Praise the Lord! What I believe I may not have been able to do in three years He did with just one MOVE! Thank you Jesus. I can only but trust you more and more!

Happy birthday to Nigeria's Famous blogger: Linda Ikeji!

Linda 'Chopping life' Ikeji is 33 today! Am taking this time out to celebrate my favourite blogger Linda Ikeji. She's quite an inspiration. There is practically no day I dont visit her blog to check out celebrity gist news and gossips that pays her so much! Congrats LinLin! So amazing what u have achieved at such a short time. Whatever is left to make your joy to be full my God is releasing to you speedily. Cheers!

THE US VISA LOTTERY AND NIGERIA.

Nigeria and seventeen other nations have been barred from further participating in the US visa lottery reason been that they have exhausted their share of the quota initially allocated to them. Nigeria seem to be the only African country on this list on close observation! Though not taking anything from the US afterall it was their creation and they had objectives for introducing the visa lottery, would it be out of place to suggest that it is their way of getting back at Nigeria for not supporting same sex marriage which they are against? If u ask me it is a case of use and dump, having maximised the potentials of Nigerians to develop their economy they dont want anymore of Nigerians especially through the lottery. I think it is a wake up call for the Nigerian government to begin to better the lot of Nigerians by creating an enabling environment in the area of entrepreneurial development that will reduce the hydra headed unemployment situation. They should endeavour to make things work in this country! I do not see why Nigerians should rush into what can be termed modern slavery if what they crave to enjoy overseas is right here at their door steps. This country is so blessed with human and natural resources but has been hampered by a debilitating level of corruption which is not helped by government insincerity in dealing with it. Honestly, we can't continue like this as a nation! I will not be surprised if after now countries of little reckoning would come up with one flimsy condition or the other to deter nigerians from gaining access to their to the country. Ah! Lets be wise.

WHITHER FRSC?

This piece is with reference to the enforcement of the use of the new driving license and number plates by the Federal Road Safety Corp. Plans have been concluded by the FRSC to force motorist out of the roads or have their vehicles impounded by 30th september 2013 who are non compliant. The question which the FRSC has not answered satisfactorily is the need for a change from the old plate number to the new since there is little or no difference. I dont know how they were able to later convince the national assembly to give assent after it vehemently opposed it! Is it a case of some powerful interests who stand to benefit from the exercise? Till date the FRSC has not been able to convince Nigerians the need for the change from the old to to the new. That is why their plan to clampdown on defaulting motorist should be vehemently resisted! It is undue harrasment on the part of the FRSC who cannot justify the need for such a change. The Consumer Right Project (CRP) is worthy of mention here as they have already intituted legal means to halt the move by the burden that we have as the FRSC presently.

Congrats Super Eagles!

It is with pleasure I write to congratulate the super eagles for their sterling performance against noisy malawians and Africa's vice champions burkina faso. Obviously shows the team is getting stronger by the day. The next hurdle is the final game to qualify for the world cup which I am quite positive they will overcome no matter the opposition. My advice is that they should not rest on their oars until the world cup ticket is delivered which I believe is possible all things been equal. Once again congrats to coach Stephen Keshi and all the players!

Nollywood and Pornography.

In recent time Nollywood has been inundated with flicks that has strong sexual content which leaves much to be desired. Industry watchers see this as a negative trend which places undue pressure on our cultural norms. If you ask me I will say that it is a wake up call for the regulatory body i.e the nigerian film and video censors board (nfvcb) to up its game and deal decisively with erring producers, directors and marketers alike. They have to come up with strategies that minimise the influx of such films into the market. There should be no excuse for non performance as they are paid their salaries without excuses. Frequent raids for example of major markets where these movies are taken for onward distribution should be carried out. Also there should be a check within the various bodies like the actors guild of nigeria etc. The bottom line here is enforcement of existing laws in cases of default.

A thankful heart!

Its another sunday!I hope we took time to acknowledge our creator who has made us see this beautiful day. Its my fervent prayer that we will fulfil the very purpose of our existence even though faced with contrary situations.

Nigeria and its religiousity.

Nigeria is one of the world's most regious nation no doubt but ironically it is bedevilled by an astronomically high rate of corruption, violence and crime, unemployment, nepotism, tribalism, ethnic marginalization and the list goes on! There are countless churches and mosques in almost every nook and cranny and one begins to wonder who is failing in its responsibility. Is it the worshippers or the God that is worshipped? The God that is worshipped has a set standard as exemplified in the bible with respect to christians and the quaran with regards to the muslims. Let me narrow it down to these two as we also have the african traditional religious worshippers. God is believed to be parfect in ALL his ways if that is understood then the crux of the matter lies with the individual worshippers of these religions. A large number of these tend to be hypocritical which makes a mockery of the faith they profess thereby discouraging potential believers. I believe no one is forced to belong to any particular religion, if that be the case then it behoves on true worshippers to do as prescribed instead giving a bad name to the faith they profess. When they do this it is expected to impact positively on the society at large as there will less of the aformentioned problems. For example as a civil servant one is expected to obey the rules guiding your work ethics which is meant to promote government policies and programmes and not to be involved in corrupt practices that impact negatively on the society at large. I admonish us as believers of respective faiths to stop been hypocrital and trust your maker to help you do the right thing always and everywhere for a better and prosperous Nigeria!

African countries of interest!

One of the african countries that yours truly is really eager to visit is the Rainbow country of South Africa the home of Africa's Pride Nelson Mandela. Mafikeng, Gauteng, soweto and durban are some places of interest. Zimbabwe, Kenya, Seychelles Sao tome and principe and of course Ghana.

Naija celebs making it so loud!

Success whereever and whenever it meets u is worth celebrating no doubt. I have no challenge with that either. My attention is drawn to attitude of Nigerian celebs especially the music artiste who are quick to announce to the world through the social media of their acquisitions even if it is a pin! I think its high time they exercise a high level of modesty so that they will not be seen to be overly materialistic with little or no attention paid to the less privileged in the society.

Shoutout to Naija celebs Pt2

Eve Esin, Yvonne Jegede, Chika Sugar Asoegwu, Uche Jombo, Kenneth Okolie, Beverly Osu, Melvin oduah, Yvonne Nwosu, Suzan Zayat, juliet mgborokwu, Amanda Ebeye, Pascaline Alex, Toyin Lawani, Alexx Ekubo, Tarara Eteimo, Mary Lazarus, Joyce Kalu, Vivian Pius, Jim Iyke, Racheal Okonkwo, Pope Odonwodo, Denrele Edun, Collete Orji, Nicole Banna, Yul Edochie, Mike Ezuoronye, Nonso Diobi.

This Man United!

I have my fears for this current manchester united team managed by David Moyes. Only today they lost their first premiership game against liverpool and previously held to a pulsating draw at home by chelsea. The team as presently constituted without any major signing yet leaves much to be desired and I wonder how far they intend to go? If u ask me I do not have faith in David moyes he doesn't look like he has what it takes to continue the winning streak of sir alex ferguson. Someone would argue that it is too early to judge? Where are the signs to suggest that David Moyes is truly the chosen one? It is only a matter of time. I hope am proved wrong! ;)

Whither PDP? 2

The reports reaching me suggests that things have fallen apart with the peoples democratic party (PDP) with faction going with Atiku Abubakar alongside seven governors! The centre can no longer hold! Is this the beginning of the end of Africa's largest party? Does it also suggests that the pdp is the architect of its own downfall? No conflict resolution mechanism in the pdp? Well, I believe we have not heard the last of this yet. More to follow!

Whither PDP?

Its a pity that as big as PDP they lack a strategic problem solving mechanism to the extent that they complicate things themselves.There can't be absence of conflicts or disagreements within any organization but when they occur there should be a way to address them without necessarily creating suspicion amongst opposing camps. If you ask me PDP has not done well at all. Quite sad.

Big Brother Africa ends!

And the winner is............. The Namibian beauty Dillish Mathews! I am really not too surprised, It is a good thing that beverly didn't win as africa still appreciate decency as exemplified by the winner! Thank you Africa. I hope bba will return next year more refined than this.

Big Brother Africa. Any Essence?

It started in 2003 and was welcomed into the homes of africans especially Nigerians gladly. Now, overtime one begins to question the very essence of the show which is more alien to the very culture of decency africans are known for before. Nudity is the other of the day. Sex is common place. One wonders what the show seeks to promote. Is it cross cultural ties then it can be better shared through other medium than this one. I have been trying to see the very essence of the program and its attendant benefits but could find none other than making a celebrity out of the winner who must have made undue compromises along the way! What am I saying? That the show should be scrapped and DSTV should look for other ways of making money not at the detriment of the cultural identity of the African!

My thoughts on Olorogun Barr. Festus Keyamo.

Early in the year barr. Festus Keyamo gathered deltans of like minds to share his thoughts and vision for the state under the umbrella of delta forces united (dfu) a pressure group eager to change the fortunes of delta state that has been held by a dynasty a of looters according to him. Yours truly was present at that epoch making event and having listened to him carefully then I decided right away I will join the train of believers in his vision of true transformation of delta state. Alot has happened since then significant of which is the sudden death of senator Akpor Evwerido representing delta central senatorial district at the senate. What a loss of a progressive! May his soul rest in the bossom of the Lord. This singular event has brought about a flurry of political activities among political parties as alliances are been formed to win over the electorates in this zone. My concern right now is the possible candidature of Barr. Festus Keyamo under the umbrella of the newly registered APC. Does he really stand a chance against notable heavy weight in the other parties? If deltans in this senatorial district are looking for a clear departure from the past then keyamo is it! If also they are looking for a fresh face in the politics of the state then Keyamo is it! If they are looking for one who will not be an abuja based representative then Keyamo is it! If they are looking for one who is prepared to die for a good cause then Keyamo is it! If they are looking one who will be truly accountable to his constituency then Keyamo is it!

A case for state universities.

There are signals from president Jonathan indicating that the strike action embarked upon by Asuu would soon be called off. I hope the measures been taken by the federal Government are far reaching enough to give a new lease of life to the sector. You know we have both federal and state universities and more often than not state universities are directly funded by respective states governments. This is with regards to their involvement in the strike and their benefits therein. My point is that the federal government should not concern itself with the needs of the federal varsities alone as what is good for the goose is good for the gander. I hope that monies to be released will get to the state varsities as they are involved in the struggle for a better tertiary education as well. If that is not the case then I see no reason why state varsities should be involved in a strike action that will not benefit them in anyway. If it is a case of mere solidarity then its not worth the time!

State of Emergency on education!

It is worrisome that as of now the strike action embarked upon by the academic staff union of university is still very much on. How long will it take a responsible government to tackle a strike that bothers on an important sector as tertiary education? There have been series of meetings without anything concretely achieved. One begins to wonder the effort of the two ministers in this regard. I think the federal government need to set its priorities right as it will go a long way in eliminating those things that doesn't matter in its scale of preference. Tertiary education is at an abysmally low level which should not be allowed to degenerate further! Let me use this opportunity to appeal to the federal government to declare a state of emergency on education and begin to address agelong problems that have bedevilled the sector all this while.

A BAD PRECEDENT!

The action of Governor Fashola of Lagos state to forcefully relocate 70 Nigerians of igbo extraction back to the east is duly unacceptable! Dont they have the right to stay in any location of their choice as Nigerians? What happened to the idea of ONE NIGERIA? How justified is the action of the lagos state government? The argument that they are constituting nuisance does not hold any water at all! To me Gov. Fashola has just set a bad precedent for others to follow! Gov Fashola should in my estimation retrace his steps because as it it we have not held the last of it.

Save the future of the girl child!

Why should a girl as young as ten be given out in marriage simply because the law of the land supports it? This is with regards to the bill sponsored by senator Yerima the former zamfara state governor that will allow a man in his right senses to marry a ten year old girl for example who knows little or nothing about life. What if I must ask is the advantage if any to such a bill? Who does it favour? The disadvantages far outweighs any such advantage? It is an infringement on the fundamental rights of the girl child which should not be encouraged. The health implication is also there to worry about. My take on this bill is that it should not see the light of day or should be fought against vehemently. Even uf such is common in the northern part of the country there should be a law to discourage would be perpertrators. Please let us rise up with one voice to save the future of the girl child!

THE ASUU STRIKE.

It is no longer news that the academic staff union of universities ASUU is on strike. The question is does labour issues have to degenerate to the extreme option of strike before relevant authorities respond. I am sure there was a notice before this action was taken. Is there no minister of education? From the last time I checked there are two ministers in charge of the education sector! And they did not deem it fit to call the ASSU leadership for dialogue before now to avert the ongoing strike. What are they there for? Why does the education sector have to suffer neglect under successive governments? This is the same sector that is looked upon for human snd capital development of the nation. Quite an irony! Is it that a state of emergency needs to be declared on the educational sector? Because as it were the sector is bedevilled by so many challenges which are solvable if there is sincerity on the part of government especially. Well, my appeal is to the government especially to quickly address the demands of Assu which I believe are not out of place as they are the ones that practically knows where it hurts. The fact is they asuu can afford to be indifferent and wait for a total collapse of the system but because they mean well for the future of the Nigerian students. The more reason all and sundry have to rally round asuu to put pressure on the Jonathan led government to sit up and address the strike without further delay!

The Super Eagles: Work in Progress

The Fifa confederation cup has come and gone as far as the super eagles participation is concerned. But there are one or two things to take home. The tournament exposed further the new super eagles in a more competitive front going by the opposition from spain and uruguay especially. The Super Eagles may not have been disgraced but I believe could have done better if they have taken their chances. The frontline of the super eagles is defective especially with regards to finishing aside the absence of key players like Victor Moses and Emmanuel Emenike, the frontline still needs to be fortified so that there will lots of options unlike what bedevilled the team at the confed cup. May I advise Coach Stephen Keshi to give the likes of Osaze Odemwigie, Obafemi Martins, Ik Uche another chance. This is not the time for ego tripping at all. Let the best represent Nigeria!

FIGHTING CORRUPTION: The Economic and financial Crime Commission i.e the EFCC is the most pronounced body set up by the previous Obasanjo administration to fight one great enemy of this nation which is corruption. The purpose is clear but the question is are they living up to it? Why is it that corruption still stares us in the face with the intent to tear the very fabric of this nation apart. What is the challenge of the EFCC? Is it politcization? Is it now a tool to get at perceived offenders of the powers that be? See, I have respect for the people in EFCC because I believe they are fighting as noble cause. This can be rubbished when there is undue interferance in their operations. Maybe they should be given free hand to carry out their assignment with little or no concern for sacred cows. We want to see a more vibrant EFCC. I hope they will see this piece and pay attention to the issues raised.

PRESIDENT OBAMA AND NIGERIA; My attention has been drawn to the report that President Obama snubs Nigeria again in his African tour. It sure raises alot of questions as to why he seem to have a phobia for Nigeria. One critical angle I believe that should not be overlooked is security concerns which at the moment poses a great challenge to security agencies in the country. What I will be strongly opposed to is the politicization of the failed visits.One needs to state categorically that our survival as a nation does not depend on an Obama visit and should subsequently be downplayed. Well, one good thing about is that hundreds of millions that could be wasted by our corrupt officials under the guise of hosting the US president is saved!

Gentletee4u: The war in Syria has claimed thousands of innocent...

The war in Syria has claimed thousands of innocent lives and even though am not syrian am really concerned and disturbed ok fine am not forgetting that we have the terrorist group boko haram to contend with in Nigeria trust me their days are numbered! Ok back to the subject matter. President Assad is heartless no doubt, how a president can war against the same people he professes to serve is baffling to say the least and he is not alone in his quest of anhillation and that is where the role of Russia as a member of the un security council is worrisome! Russia consistently supply modern weapons to syria to continue the mass killing of civilians in the name of trade? Trading without a human face!;( Russia will pay dearly for their insensitivity one way or the other. My prayer and desire for syria is that Assad will be dislodged one way or the other. He does not belong to the future in Syria. He will definetly answer to war crimes in no distant time. Some that followed his steps are alive to tell the story!

Scrapping Jamb and Neco.

I have taken time in reacting to the federal government plan to scrap these exam from the nations educational calender this is with a view to sample opinions as to the credibility of such an exercise. While a section of the academia is routing for it others seem quite opposed to the idea. One of the that will help in taking a position is the purpose of establishing such bodies as against the government reason. I believe for setting Neco was to attend to the growing of candidates sitting for WAEC and SSCE and to reduce the burden on Waec. The question is has this purpose been defeated or achieved? Jamb was meant for admission into nigerian universities? Has it outlived its usefulness? The government position is centered of reducing its size. The question is will it make such a difference if they are scrapped? Well, my advice is that any action taken should not been borne out selfish interest but rather for the general good. Lets be wise as we dont want to deal with issues of policy somersalt.

The security challenge posed by islamic sect called boko haram leaves much to be desired. They have succeeded in unleashing their weapons of mass destruction leaving countless number of deaths on its trail and they dont seem satisfied just yet! The question is has this present government run out of ideas in dealing with the menace posed by boko haram? Especially now that the purported amnesty option seem to have been rejected. They are a terrorist group if we must call a spade what it is. They need a more sophisticated approach to deal not with this conservative approach the nigerian government is using. I think the government should involve the US, and UK or their allies in dealing with this nightmare. At least they have had to deal with more sophisticated terror groups than boko haram. The Nigerian government needs external help as it is obviously helpless in safe guarding the lives of Nigerians. Please we want no more deaths!

It beats my imagination how our leaders view issues or to what extent they are prepared to go to address issues that affect our very existence as an entity. The challenges posed by unemployment, a failing power sector, poor infrastructural development, hydra headed corruption and I can go on and on as the list is just endless! My focus here is the federal legislators and their unrepentant greed and selfishness for which Mr President seem helpless or better not prepared to take his chances. I begin to wonder what posterity will remember these legislators for! If I may ask why should the monthly salaries of our legislators be swimming in millions when on the other hand the president is still toying with the idea of removing fuel subsidy, and the legislator's blanket rejection of stipend for unemployed graduates. How selfish can they be? I believe that these legislators and even mr president are primarily there for themselves and any legislation that will not serve their interest will definetly not see the light of day and that is quite sad! Whither Nigeria? And where do we think we are going with this unrepentant level of hypocrisy? I pray for a forceful wind of change that will blow these ones off the political landscape. Meanwhile I leave u to reflect over this for now. I will be back!

It is with a sense of loss I write to acknowledge the exit of one of Africa's literary giant and Nigeria's greatest writer to have transversed the face of the earth. Millions have been affected by his books positively. When books such as Things fall apart, Arrow of God are mentioned the name Chinua Achebe readily comes to mind. What a loss! My encounter with this reverred writer was through his book, The Problem with Nigeria, that book left me with a lasting impression of one that is truly patriotic. Those problems he highlighted then and I mean over 15 years are still staring us as Nigerians in the face today. Whither Nigeria! May His Gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

Festus Keyamo, the messiah?

The political calculation in oil rich delta state is about to witness a monumental change as the declared interest of fiery Lagos lawyer Festus Keyamo indicates. The ruling party the PDP in the state seem to have lost sleep ever since the declaration was made. He in his speech at the inaugural meeting of Delta Forces United at Effurun Delta decscribed the current state of delta as a state where a dynasty of corruption has been instituted by cabal.

Osaze Odemwigie

One thing you cannot take away from Osaze Odemwingie is that he is a very good player and has proven that especially with west brom in the English premier league. He is a match winner, and he is quite an asset for his club. His contribution to west brom is noteworthy. Unfortunately that cannot be said of him regarding his relationship with the national team i.e super eagles and his unending attack of the national coach in the person of Stephen Keshi especially since he was dropped from the squad that eventually represented Nigeria and won the Africa Cup of Nations.
 His continuous rant on twitter is unbecoming of him and needs to be emphasized. It is not all about being a skillful player one is talking about here but character and a good one at that.Osaze seem to lack character in terms of giving respect to whom it is due afterall respect is reciprocal.He can go on twitter and attack who he deems fit. What I do not understand is if it is just all about his absence at the nations cup, or there is more than meets the eyes.Over night he has turned to become a proud or is it a rebellious player of no consequence.Players that towed this path in times past got their fingers burnt as for Osaze, his may be worse. It is said that pride goeth before a fall,so I really dont know the amount of wealth and cup glories he has achieved that will want to make his head turn but his can obviously not be compared to some before him like Kanu Nwankwo, Finidi George, or even Yaya Toure currently who are all level headed. If  Osaze has advisers they should please do an extra work on him as he is on the path of destruction!
I have nothing against him as a player but his character is offensive to me without doubt. My  advise is he should turn from these negative tendencies and be face his football.

Whither Lasu?

I thought that the menace of cultism has been dealt with appreciably until the news of Damoche, an up and coming act gunned down yesterday right in front of the school. Lasu has produced graduates that has gone ahead to be successful men and women in their respective fields. If they had taken the path of cultism they will not be celebrated today. My appeal to the student of this noble institution is to shun every acts of violence in the name of cultism and focus on the very essence of why they are in school in the first place. The world is waiting to celebrate them so they should not let us down!

What is happening to Barcelona?

I begin to wonder what's gone wrong with once upon a time almighty Barcelona of spain? Somebody talk to me! Last week it was Milan that taught them some bit of soccer lessons which I am not sure they have recovered from.Only yesterday in the el classico with Real Madrid,they fell pretty bad. What could be the challenge? Is it that they need a sound coach in the mould of Pep Guordiola? Or the team needs some restructuring with few addittions or is it that the team is still transiting? The Barcelona team with Pep as coach was a model no doubt.Can that not be sustained? I hope that Barcelona recent form will not begin to show at the la liga level as that will definetly not go down well with all concerned. Whatever happens I want to see more of  the beauty of the game from Barcelona!

Adieu Goldie!

Goldie(Susan Olabimpe) finally laid to rest. Let there be no more deaths in the entertainment industry. One death too many calls for concerted prayers from all and sundry that such deaths be averted. My advice to everyone in the industry is that they should not forget their creator by having a definite relationship so that they will be sensitive per time.They should also be conscious of their health status by regular medical checks.
