Sacrificial Lambs

Some may argue all they want in support of  Mr President  but I believe this, never in history has one man changed a country all by himself, because it takes having the wisdom to gain the trust,commitment,respect,support and faith in your leadership  by the majority of your people for a leader to truly succeed .

This present Nigerian government like those before it has not just asked the long suffering people of Nigeria to make more sacrifices, but like it or not they have already forced Nigerians to make sacrifices.

Now fair enough Nigerians must make sacrifices, and I believe we have started this a by paying more for electricity even if moderately stable electricity doesn’t really exist yet,we paying more for fuel  (petrol) a commodity that’s at the center of Nigerian life’s more so due to the failed electricity infrastructure and failed refineries,also Nigerians are now paying N50 stamp duty and have been asked to prepare for a range of taxes to be introduced by Federal,State and even Local Governments all sourcing for more funds due to decline in revenue from federation account that use to be burgeon with money from crude oil sales and oh by the way there’s a rumored likely increase in VAT. All this is taking place  at a time when most Nigerians face stagnant income,reducing income,owed income,struggling profits – in extreme cases no income at all if you are on the unemployment line.

If like me you so love our incorruptible president, can I ask what has President Buhari done specifically and  institutionally to ensure that government and its officials are also sacrificing?

What has the national assembly done in anyway to ensure that they too are making scarifies, what scarifies have state governors  across the 36 states given up thus far ?, – if you can honestly answer this question: then that for me is the greatest level of honesty you can bequeath yourself whether you hate or like this government or you are just  nonchalant.

Nigerians I ask for once stop following the propaganda  weather its from this or any other past Government, no Nigeria government federal or state has ever admitted they governed wrongly but yet Nigeria has nothing to show for all their self-proclaimed good governance

President Buhari needs our support and prayers he really does, but while we pray, lets also also pray that Buhari realizes that he too needs the people, that’s what got him there in the first place, not his henchmen from his party the APC

Grateful Reflections

( With Dr Bola Afolabi, Current CIPS President) On the 28 February 2006, I started a tread called Logistics/Supply Chain Management on one of the most popular webforum in Nigeria called Nairaland. Follow link to view postings on this tread http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-7497.0.html My aim basically was to use the opportunity an online forum can offer, to interact, share and gain ideas, information,network and generally increase awareness of the Procurement, Logistics and Supply chain management profession. This act of sharing my passion for the profession online has over the years sparked off series of positive and constructive events in my career quest, some of which I have reflected upon in the text below. Although my initial undergraduate study and immediate post study working experience were all related to engineering, I soon fall in love with the logistics and SCM profession when in March of 2005 I gained my 1st substantive Job with Integrated Logistics services Nig...

2025 into 2026

Its that day of the year.  It’s 2025, December 31st. And as has been my private tradition for the last 19 years, now that’s a really long time. I make this post on the last day of the year to Reflects and Outlooks It’s private because I share it only on this blog and nowhere else. My posting on this blog has almost ceased. Not because I don’t write, but because I barely remember to post here when I do find the time to write. Despite this, I never forget this tradition on my Blogspot. Interestingly, since my last post here on December 31st, 2024, this is my first time back. I re-read my last post for December 31st, 2024, into the year 2025, which ends in less than five hours from now. Looking Back at 2025 How was 2025? Did it pan out the way my outlook projected? I would say it did, largely. But above all, and most importantly, I saw God’s goodness. 2025 was a year of many changes. First, I left paid employment. It was quick, but the decision was well thought out. ...
