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

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 notwithstanding, the absence of Mr President have actually been a
blessing to Nigeria rather than a curse, as the economy is repositioning.
This is visible in our exchange rate. Also the crises emanating from
different part of the country have drastically reduced. As of the recent
times, there has not been the usual incident of herdsmen killing and
terrorizing people. More importantly also the acting President have taken
some time to visit almost all the nine Niger Delta States to preach peace,
a move the President is not likely to make. The result is that as at today,
relative peace have returned to the region which has increased the revenue
base of the nation.
Mr President should come back and take over the responsibility which
Nigerians have given to him, however if his health will not allow him to
continue, let him formally resign, so that the acting President can assume
full power.
We often mistake lust for love and many people mistake infatuation for true love. So many people preach that if you are no longer happy in a marriage then you should just call it quits. How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...
