Yesterday morning Nigerians breathed a sigh of relief when the Flying Eagles overcame a nervy start to beat Hungary by two Awoniyi goals( one in each half) to progress in the Group behind Brazil.

One does not really have to be a medical expert to recognize that the heavy grime and dirt on Nigerian currency notes would also readily serve as vector for the spread of germs and diseases.

THE Senate made some of us proud on Wednesday when it pushed Nigeria into the record books; passing 46 bills in ten minutes. That is less than 13 seconds per bill. Even in the 100 metres race, that can fetch a gold medal.

Have you witnessed an event and wondered where you have seen exactly the same sequence of activities before? The French call it déjà vu, which translates to “already seen”. That is the phenomenon we are observing our brand new President Muhammadu Buhari, PMB, taking us through.

America is sometimes called “Uncle Sam” or “God’s own country”. Perhaps Nigeria’s nickname should be “Fraud’s Own Country”. Literally hundreds of thousands of scams are perpetrated in this nation 24/7 as to make a reasonable man wonder if we have any other job – fake drugs, fake spare parts, fake drivers’ and vehicles’ licence, fake currency notes, illegal universities 9even medical schools), pirated Nollywood films, free bail for which the police demand money at all Police Stations, free medical while patients pay for blood, etc. Unbelievable as it is, governments are involved in an astonishing percentage of the scams.
