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!

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!
