Last week from Abeokuta, former president Olusegun Obasanjo, expressed fears about imminent mass revolt as a consequence of the criminally high rate of youth unemployment in Nigeria. Obasanjo is afraid that this revolt might lead to Nigeria’s equivalent of the Arab Spring. The former president has good reasons to fear, and indeed, he should be very, very afraid.

The post of a government minister is no doubt an important public position. Anyone who is appointed into it is expected to be properly equipped to perform well hence he should be ready to accept responsibility for the outcome of his mandate.

Recent administrations in the country have proved beyond doubts that if women are given the opportunity to hold offices in the public sector, they can indeed out-shine their male counterparts.

Last week, I brought you the introductory segment of this teaching…GOD’S supernatural provisions are for you. So, why die in poverty when you can live in prosperity and abundance? Hear this: God’s Word is loaded with treasures for your comfort and pleasure.

Remember the Red Reflector sticker scam that the FRSC illegally enforced till it was scrapped?

May God never give us an Obasanjo again,” I once prayed on this column. President Obasanjo was then on his last days in office and the review of sports under his tenure was a sad commentary.

SOME few weeks ago, we watched on television when the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, was on site to see the progress of work on a contract, which he apparently wanted expeditiously executed. Here was the contractor telling the Governor: “We intend to…”.

LAST week, the wind of nation-wide opposition to an unpopular agenda finally exposed the ugly hind place of Nigeria’s political (economic) fowl, when Nigeria’s Senate named beneficiaries of the much-vaunted fuel subsidies.

NIGERIA is a country ruled by mindless, myopic and opportunistic selfish pursuits by individuals and groups. Few are willing to stand up for the truth and justice irrespective of the cost.
