My attention has been drawn to a story emanating from an opposition newspaper linked to a prominent member of the All Progressive Congress, alleging that the U.K. Department For International Development, DFID, claimed that $32 billion was lost to corruption during the Jonathan administration. 

Nigeria is at a crossroad. She needs a bold leader come 2019

Abia seems to be blessed with faceless destructive critics who may have sworn on the altar of perfidy that there is ingenuity in saying only unkind words to their leaders. These set of people either refuse to accept that glaring development strides are happening in Abia or feed their soiled mindsets with tissue of lies just to DEMARKET their own State.

The ready assumption by some writers and public commentators is that most Nigerians are gullible and have short memories. As such, some of these self acclaimed political analysts churn out falsehood as facts in an attempt to manipulate the mind of well meaning Nigerians.

We read the comments of Mr. Femi Aribisala, analysing the actions and pronouncements on the issue of tithing and most especially on the Kaduna state Governor Alhaji Nasir El-Rufai as contained in his column in the Vanguard Newspaper of Sunday 10th December and we must say that we were  quite disappointed that a respected columnist with the pedigree of Mr. Aribisala, would offer such pedestrian and simplistic analogy on a matter which ordinarily shouldn’t engage his intellectual attention.
