WHO FOLLOWED THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE LAST NIGHT?

Happy new year friends and welcome to a blissful year. I hope the year has been beautiful for you thus far. It's an election year like we already know and the presidential debate just went down last night.
My take: Isn't it appalling that the president of a country seeking re-election was absent from this debate for flimsy reasons not that I think that he would have had anything to say at the debate because his performance given the time he had was below par. Obviously he ran away because it is obvious that he wouldn't have been able to stand the brain power of the three candidates who participated in the debate. Maybe he thinks he is bigger than the country and that without lifting a finger, he could win at the next polls, he should think again. His habitual impasse when being spoken to or advised would play against him this time around. The country is starting to wake up. It is not business as usual.

Following in his footsteps, his northern brother who many people think is his main challenger in the forthcoming elections also refused to participate citing the former's absence as a reason despite arriving the venue. Methinks he also was intimidated by the much younger and much more visionary presidential candidates. So we had a situation where we didn't hear from the so called major candidates. I would have been honestly surprised if they took part in the debate when one cannot even understand what the president of the country is saying whenever he speaks and when we parade recycled thieves as would- be leaders.

To my intelligent, eloquent and able participants, thank you for honouring Nigerians and outlining your plans to move this country forward. It is well understood and appreciated. Even if I believe that together you all stand a better chance of sending the usual illiterates and thieves back to their home towns. Come what may 2019, it would never be the same again in Nigeria. A new dawn has come!

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...

WAR ROOM

A beautiful movie showing us the love of God and His ever standing faithfulness to His children. Elizabeth and Tony Jordan were two  successful people who were religious but hadn't known what it was like for God to minister unto them. They had a big house, nice jobs, with Tony as a pharmaceutical salesman and Elizabeth as a realtor. They  had a daughter called Danielle. 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.
