THE HEALTH CONDITION OF MR PRESIDENT:

It is completely normal for any human being to get sick from time to time. It is a reminder that we are mortals’. Mr. President is a mortal who can be sick at a split of seconds; he is not a super human.  However, I think why his health condition is becoming a national debate to some sorts is because of the kind of system of government we run. A presidential system of government presupposes that the entire administration is centered on just a ‘person’; this is unlike the parliamentary system of government.
Again, the presidential media aids are not helping matters as they are keeping the health condition of Mr President secret, creating room for speculations among Nigerians as to what has happened to the man they elected as a leader. Sincerely, the President needs some medical holiday as suggested by some esteemed Nigerians and anybody denying him of such opportunity is an enemy of the President and the nation.
The people who are giving fake prophecy that if something happens to Mr President that the nation will be in a state of crisis, should go and sleep because nothing will happen, the heavens will not fall. Ours is a constitutional democracy and the document has detailed the conditions to follow in every situation. It is this kind of mentality that will make some people gather somewhere to decide the fate of Nigerians because they have ruled this country in the past, thus creating a mystical barricade around themselves when we have institutional framework that will handle crisis situations.
The health status of Mr President should not just be a family affairs because he is a public ‘property’ and the people of Nigeria deserve to know his health condition, so that when they pray, they know what they are actually praying for. If the President is sick, Nigeria is sick. Honestly the man should take a medical break; we have an able Vice President.

THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN THIS GOVERNMENT: REAL OR SELECTIVE

President Muhammadu Buhari's selling point coming into the 2015 general elections was his would-be fight against corruption which many Nigerians said was Nigeria's biggest problem and which the international community also said was Nigeria's bane of development. His reelection in 2019 also echoed the same thing although many Nigerians were of course saying they had seen his true colours. In this government's fight against corruption, so much has been witnessed. There have been several convictions of high profile politicians but only people not at the core of the government or those who do not share the same religion with the president. Many embarrassing cases have been swept under the carpet like those of the former secretary to the government of the federation, the reinclusion of a wanted former government official (who was answering for his crimes as ex pensions boss) in this government,  most recently the appointment of a former politician who was tried in court for...

FREE LEAH SHARIBU!

My heart bleeds as I write this. I'm literally weeping as I pen this down but I know that there is hope. The existence of God tells me so. It's been over a year since this girl was abducted alongside her school mates but while others were freed, Leah Sharibu remains in custody for refusing to denounce her faith and convert forcefully to Islam, the religion of the dreaded boko haram sect. What bothers me is the silence of the Muslim community and powerful leaders across the world on this matter. What I don't understand is why people cannot call a spade a spade. Why cannot they come out to speak out against mindless religious radicalism , oppression and persecution of Christians all over the world? What efforts have been made to free Leah Sharibu and others like her still in captivity? How long will this continue?  I think it's a decision world leaders need to make on the benefits of Islam to mankind. Honestly speaking,  world over the only people guilty of terroism are...

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...
