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

Its A Matter of Cash

On the 20th of Jan 2009, i watched on as million and millions of Americans all celebrated one thing HOPE!, and change that lies in horizon, and from my room I wondered will our home land Nigeria ever have something to celebrate about, even if its just change, a change in the right direction. Below is an article written in response to CNN's NIGER DELTA, Planet in Peril,  by a friend of mine,  Comfort Olubo Umaru  a lawyer based in Abuja Nigeria. IT’S A MATTER OF CASH. by  Comfort Olubo Umaru As an avid reader, a former resident of the area and concerned citizen, it would be remiss of me not to start any discussion on the Nigerian Niger Delta with one name. Kenule Saro Wiwa. As a child my favorite TV show was Bassey and Co. This was a screen adaptation of plays written by Ken Saro Wiwa. It was about a wise cracking young man called Bassey and his friend Alale and their varied antics. The show was all about their varied attempts to ev...

Black In The Oval Office, Africa Don't Celebrate Yet

Mr Obama proposes to invest $150bn in alternative fuel over the next 10 years, he said the US would not be held "hostage to dwindling resources, hostile regimes , and a warming planet”. He called for greater fuel efficiency and an "energy economy" aimed at creating millions of jobs for Americans. "We (the US Government )will commit ourselves to steady, focused, pragmatic pursuit of an America that is freed from our energy dependence, and empowered by a new energy economy that puts millions of our citizens to work". Read and read it well Nigerian government, policy makers and anyone who cares, the hand writing is on the wall, since successive government in Nigeria have only payed lip service to creating an economy for Nigeria that is diversified and not heavily reliant on oil, I guess this is a wakeup call. If the major buyer of your product say he see a future of less dependence on not just you as a supplier, but also on the product you sell in the ...

Power of Social Media

So we approaching the last weeks in July 2015, am setting up and trying to know what it feels like working from my new office space within the GRA ( government reserved area) of the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria. A key question for me is, how will I sort out my lunch daily? because it seems like getting lunch is going to be a challenge. As far as I know there are no eateries offering food delivery service in GRA Port Harcourt, unlike in Lagos my office is located in the hub of business Victoria island where its common place to find a range of eateries, pizza joint etc, all offering delivery services. Thank God for google I decided to do quick search online and voilĂ ,! I found Chicken Republic in Port Harcourt. They now offer delivery to some locations in the city and they cover the GRA where my office in Port Harcourt is located. I placed a call to what seems like a central line for all Chicken Republic orders, the customer service center staffs was nice and well...
