Buhari’s Health Issues: Should Not Common Sense Prevail?

President Muhammadu Buhari is no doubt making history. First, he is making history as one of the few presidents Nigeria’s had since 1999 that is making concerted effort to curb corruption and impunity in governance in Nigeria. The EFCC untiring efforts at recovering various monies being stolen or misappropriated in the past administration is all over the news. The whole world is still agog of how much alone that have been recovered from Nigeria’s former oil minister, Diezani-Alison Maduake. There is news of properties worth billions of dollars also that she has forfeited to the Federal Government. Although some Nigerians still believes that the Buhari’s administration inability to get officials that have been alleged of corruption convicted since 2015 is a proof that his anti-corruption war isn’t yielding any result. But one cannot shy away from the fact that this administration has been able to at least to some extent, nip corruption in the bud (if not totally, but at least have g

Nigeria: One Day One Drama

Nigeria is a theatre of drama. Just about the time you are exhausting one, another one simply ensues from nowhere. Sometime ago, it was a member of the National Assembly that released “Ajekun Iyaa”. That song is still a banger till tomorrow. Then, you hear that the President has relocated his office to his living room. It first of all began with him missing Federal executive council meetings like no man’s business. One would wonder why the president would consistently miss such crucial meeting when he is not outside of the country. And then suddenly, the minister of information said the man would prefer to work from home. All files to be sent to his sitting room. No one knows whether Mr. President is fine health-wise or not. His state of health has remained shrouded in mystery till now. No one can tell whether the President is actually working from home or is being attended to on his sick bed at home. If there is one thing those in Presidency knows how to do, it is to tell lies and

Can Young Africans Lead Africa?

Come to think of it, the incoming French President (although the decisive round of vote has been schedule to hold two weeks from now in which multiple polls had already shown that Macron will defeat the far-right National Front's Marine Le Pen with a large margin) is just 39 years old. His name is Emmanuel Macron. Events and stories like this would make you want to ask: what is wrong with Africa and the kind of politics we practice here. At times, I just conclude within me that the kind of political practice and culture will exhibit in this part of the world is for Africans by Africans. When will young people in Africa wake up and take their political destinies in their own hands? It is almost becoming an impossible task for young people to be presidents of African nations. Even in countries like Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa that boasts of youths whose interest in politics are evidenced across the continent; the bane of older presidential candidates in these countries has not

To Nnamdi Kanu: Welcome Back To The Zoo

Congratulations to Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a Federal High court in Abuja just granted him bail. The presiding Judge, Binta Nyako, gave the order to allow Mr. Kanu attend to his ailing health condition. It would be recalled that Kanu, alongside other three pro-Biafra agitators, has been facing trial for treasonable offences. Although, the conditions of the bail are kind of stringent; however, it should not be difficult for the indefatigable IPOB leader to meet them. Kanu is expected to provide three sureties. One of the sureties must be a senior and highly recognized Nigerian of Igbo descent. The second surety must be a highly recognized believer in Judaism. The third surety must be resident with landed property in Abuja. Also, the sureties are to deposit their international passports with the court till conclusion of trials. Kanu must not grant interview, must not be in a crowd exceeding 10 people, and must not hold rallies. Kanu'

Why Is President Buhari War On Corruption Epileptic?

Before President Muhammadu Buhari came on board in 2015, the resolve of an average Nigerian like me was that for the first time since the return of democracy in 1999; Nigerians would have a president who would not toil with corruption or any corrupt official around him. So massively, Nigerians rallied around Mr. President and gave him the mandate. It was clearly sure then before he came on board that Nigeria was faced with so many problems; however, two particularly were begging for attention at the time. First is the issue of security. It was at the time when Boko Haram was having a filled day in the Northern part of the country and over 270 secondary school girls had been kidnaped in a town called Chibok in Borno State. 195 of those girls as at the time of putting this piece together are yet to be rescued. Second is the issue of corruption, which has made Nigeria a laughing stock in the international community. Corruption has been so much entrenched within the fabrics of Nigeria t

Making The Best Of Your Real Estate Investment

Real estate investment is as old as man itself. There is virtually no activity that does not involve the use of land or any other thing that has to do with it, except in some very few exceptions. From corporate organizations, to a small shop owner who sells rice and beans in a corner shop, real estate is involved. RE comprises of three basic things. They are Land, Buildings and its appurtenances. In other words, Real Estate = Land + Building + Appurtenances. Land: All types of organisms including man are born, flourish, mature and at last meet their end on land. It produces all the necessities of life-food, clothing and shelter.

The Onions of a Long-Distance Relationship

It is usually a sad story to hear of people who were once in a good and Godly relationships go their separate ways after a short period of time. A number of reasons usually have been put forward by the people involved in this quagmire. Quite a number of them have hinged the reason on distance. But my argument has always been this: why should distance be a threat to beautiful relationships - especially between opposite sex who once professes they loved each other? Although, certain inexcusable circumstances may warrant that one’s fiancée or fiancé relocate at some point or the other during the course of the relationship. Trying to answer this question led me to putting this piece together and to share what have worked for me in the past four years in my own relationship. First and foremost, distance does not only affect two people who are together in a maritally-intended relationship. Even friends that happened to be in different location at the same time have seen distance being a ba
