PRESIDENT BUHARI AND HIS SINCERITY OF PURPOSE

We commend the present government for tackling head on the Boko Haram insurgency and for recording progress. I am however concerned about the spate of killings in southern Kaduna and I am wondering what the federal government is doing about it. Should we not have a wholistic approach when it comes to issues of national interest? And treat every matter with the same level of urgency? Especially issues that deal with groups taking lives of innocent citizens.
How sincere is this government in dealing with these issues ? If the president is concerned about tackling insurgency, then shouldn't the incessant killings in southern Kaduna bother him or is he less concerned about it because the killings are targeted at Christians?
If president Buhari is interested in solving Nigeria's multi faceted problems then shouldn't he be more proactive? Appointing sharp technocrats who would deliver within a time frame instead of loyalists and political appointees.

He has good intentions for the country, they say but he is not putting his heart where his mouth is!

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 ...

GETTING MARRIED AND BEING SUCCESSFUL AFTER 30

Many people see the big 3.0 as a landmark age. To them at 30 you should have accomplished all your goals, gotten married and had a few kids. This view although popular is sometimes unhealthy , because real success and achievements take time. Not everyone who is unmarried at 30 will marry late or unaccomplished at 30 is a failure. For short term goals and minimal achievements, 30 is fine. I even read about someone bragging on how she had a masters degree and was married with two kids at 30. The question no one asked her was 'what had she done with the masters degree and how her children were faring academically? ' It's not enough to get married and have kids before 30 or even finish a masters degree? Is she fulfilled as a person? Had she discovered purpose and was she on her way to fulfilling it? You see we all want to brag when it seems as if we better than the next person. Alas! Many of us are ignorant. Many Nigerian billionaires became billionaires only after 30, many ...
