IN LINE WITH FAYOSE

FAYOSE is not a man I admire so much but I have to agree with him on this one;
After President Buhari, we do not want any senior citizen or anyone who has reached the age of retirement as our President again or if possible as any politician elected into any office.

President Buhari was chosen because of his impeccable reputation for Integrity.
A much needed quality in today's Nigeria.
We want a leader outside their generation. One who is young, strong and vibrant.
This brings to mind a lot of questions;
The generation after, are they ready to pick up from where their fathers have left off?
Many of them are dancing away in clubs, worshipping celebrities and seeing nothing wrong in it.
I must sound a note of warning here, it is only by positive values that you can transform a nation.
As the bible says "righteousness exalts a nation".
America is great today because of their founding fathers.
Or maybe to this generation, they would rather be bypassed and the baton handed over to those coming after them.
We want to see Leaders in their fifties and forties, hopefully we should be able to make that happen.

The End SARS Protests

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started. Not because I didn’t want to speak but because I was hoping for it to culminate into something tangible and bring about the positive change that a lot of Nigerians desired. I remember having a conversation about it with someone and I prayed that it would not spiral out of control. I wanted a positive change but I wasn’t prepared for the cost of laying down lives because I sensed that it was going to get to that should the protesters expand their agitation to good governance. The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...
