ON THE LIST OF RECOVERED LOOTED FUNDS

It was with delight that i welcomed the publishing of the list of recovered looted funds. I am particularly delighted because it was a much anticipated list. Some people had already started complaining when the list was taking too long in coming. But finally it's out.

The exclusion of names notwithstanding, it is laudable that our graft agencies are doing a nice recovery project backed up by this administration.

Maybe our president feels that it is a bit early to publish the names of looters as so many of the corruption cases are still inconclusive. But with the spirit of patriotism and trust in our leadership, let us at least laud the efforts they are making in fighting and eradicating corruption in our country.

Mr president, we wish you didn't have to come at a time like this when there is an economic downturn in oil producing economies. Maybe you would have been given a chance to prove your intentions for Nigerians. However we recognize the little effort you and your team are making. We wish you could be more proactive instead of reactive and that your speed could be faster.

We are however seating on patience's seat  waiting until we start reaping the fruits of giving you our mandate.

We hope to see in the near future convictions followed by names of these looters so that we would not only give corruption a bad name, we would also disgrace corruption.

Despite the wealthy lifestyle, Tony was cold towards his family. He refused to give money to his wife's sister and was verbally abusive towards her. He treated Danielle no less than a property gotten from one  of his illegal deals.

NYSC AND THE TALES OF FREE SEX

I remember when I went for youth service and the shock I had when i realized what was going on around me. Married girls were freely having sex with younger boys. Girls were being laid for something as cheap as buying them suya. It was horrific. This was in camp. After camp, boys were living with girls in their lodges.

FELA KUTI WAS VISIONARY, PHILOSOPHICAL, AND A PATRIOT

Honestly, I am barely a Fela fan but the events of these few months make his thoughts unforgettable. On Friday last week after work, I circled with my friend around the city of Owerri and was got by rain around World Bank junction, suddenly we realized that the roads were impassable, my friend turned back and parked the car. Because it was getting late I was forced to walk or better still swim across the
