WHO NEEDS A WHISTLE?

Happy Easter to Christians over the world as we all mark and celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ which is the true foundation of Christianity. As Nigerians join Christians all over the world to celebrate, we pray that the message of easter which is peace and love for neighbour will reflect in the lives of every Nigerian.
But what is trending this easter period in the country today is the whistle blower policy which is already yielding results.
Monies have been recovered so far in uncompleted buildings, markets and luxury homes. The latest being the $48M cash amongst other currencies recovered in a luxury home in Ikoyi. The whistle blower who blew the whistle said an unidentified woman usually comes to the said house to drop bags. According to the whistle blower this woman always comes in tattered clothes but the suspicious thing about this was that the woman was not tattered herself. When the EFCC went in and made the discoveries of the money and the news was all over the place with Nigerians still reacting to it, an agency of government the NIA came out to say that the money belonged to them and was used for a covert operation.How laughable!
Nigerians are used to being told lies, somehow the powers that be would try to cover up cases of corruption using different means even going as far as using the judiciary who have become notorious for never convicting cases of corruption but would sentence an armed robber to death easily. The NIA is undoubtedly covering up for a high profile member of Buhari's government. Nigerians are tired of the lies. We demand that the EFCC and the Federal Government come out to us tell who the owner of the house where the monies where found is and to tell us the real depositors of the money for NIA would never use a tattered woman to deposit money for an intelligence operation. And by the way, w've never heard of the operations of this NIA before now, all of a sudden monies are found and their names are in the news.

Cases of corruption have been swept under the carpet by this government because of their lazy and unintelligent approach to investigations. The $20B unremitted by the NNPC in the past administration is still pending, the halliburton case unvisited and many of such cases pending in the courts with lawyers milking the cases where the thieves keep paying them from the proceeds of corruption.
Enough is enough, the truth must come out. If Nigeria would ever make progress as a nation, then corruption must be tackled head on and we must expose all those who are behind it no matter how big they are and no matter whose OX is gored.

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 ...

LOVE IS OVERRATED

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...

RAPE, ITS JUSTIFICATION AND VICTIM SHAMING

It's sad that this is a world where things are not perfect but isn't that why we have laws; to correct the ills in society? I read today on a blog about a filmmaker who said that "nonviolent rape" should be legalized and that the reason rapists were raping girls was because they were sexually frustrated and that girls should accept it and even prepare themselves for it by carrying condoms and cooperating with their rapists. In fact it is clear that civilization is beyond running water and having flushable toilets, a lot of minds are still in a dark place. Before you join the number of people condemning him, think of how you shame victims of rape by suggesting that somehow they did something to provoke the animal instinct in the rapist. The dust hasn't settled yet on the case of Busola Dakolo and Biodun Fatoyinbo where an Abuja high court struck out the case and called an abuse of court processes and said it was statue barred. They were irregularities as cited by ...
