I didn’t abandon Gov Yusuf; I still like him — Kwankwaso
The Leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, says he is willing to reconcile with Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State. It will be recalled that Yusuf, a staunch adherent of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, won the election in 2023 under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and later defected to the All Progressives Congress […]
I reject Buhari’s ‘One Nigeria’
WE are now concentrating on the militants to know how many they are, especially in terms of groupings, leadership and to plead with them to try and give Nigeria a chance.
An economy on the brink
A close study of our recent economic history would suggest that the present policies adopted by government, particularly with regard to Naira devaluation, and fuel price increase, are not different from the same strategies that triggered the oppressive serial abuse of the Naira exchange rate in the era of former President Babangida and sustained Nigeria’s steady slide in the rankings of the World’s poorest nations. Invariably, therefore, the ill advised rehash of those same options to resolve our present economic logjam will unwittingly deepen our poverty.
Diving headlong into another debt trap
There are two Ministries scaring the hell out of a lot of experts these days the Ministries of Justice and Finance. Right now, it is difficult to know which of the two will finish us in first. This is not the Law page, comments on the activities of the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation will be left to others versed in litigation. Finance is another matter and here what is easily discernible is that the Federal Government is setting a bad example in fiscal irresponsibility for the states by adopting a “borrow-and-spend” policy.
Why it is so hard to generate revenue in Nigeria
In the last few months, the story that many of our states are unviable and therefore unable to meet basic needs of their people such as payment of workers’ salaries has taken a firm root in everyone’s sub-consciousness. The reason for it is not only because it true but more because it has been repeatedly said even at the highest quarters. There is the hypothesis that states are unable to generate revenue because our people don’t like to pay taxes.
Paul’s bogus rapture
Moses tells us how to identify a false prophet. He says: “You may be asking yourselves, ‘How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the LORD?’ You will know, because if the LORD says something will happen, it will happen. And if it doesn’t, you will know that the prophet was falsely claiming to speak for the LORD.” (Deuteronomy 18:21-22).
