The End SARS Protests

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started. Not because I didn’t want to speak but because I was hoping for it to culminate into something tangible and bring about the positive change that a lot of Nigerians desired.
I remember having a conversation about it with someone and I prayed that it would not spiral out of control. I wanted a positive change but I wasn’t prepared for the cost of laying down lives because I sensed that it was going to get to that should the protesters expand their agitation to good governance. The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup which toppled a then democratically elected government. 

I am happy however that we the youths have made a statement. I strongly believe that the protests sent shivers down the spines of those who think Nigeria is their private property. I believe that wherever they are right now, they are planning their next move. The country has woken up. You cannot put a wool over our eyes anymore. We are demanding for what is right. I do believe the promised land is not far away anymore.

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.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and The Royal Family

In the last few days, the media has been a washed with the interview that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry granted Oprah Winfrey on the reason why they stepped down as senior members of the royal family. Before the interview became cold, the media(both social and traditional) was agog with majority talking about it and siding with the couple on all their claims especially the claim of institutionalized racism against the Royal Family by Meghan Markle.  It’s sad that this is an age where everything and anything can go viral just at the click of a button.  Let us dissect the issues: Racism; Meghan claimed that a member of the Royal Family raised the issue of her son’s skin color while she was pregnant for him. She then went to say that he was denied a title because of this. I am not in kindergarten. Even a child can see clearly that Meghan wants a title for her son and I am sure she knows that according to the British Constitution, her son was not entitled to the title of Prince because hi

STILL ON DIVERSIFICATION OF THE ECONOMY

It is no longer news that South Africa has bypassed Nigeria as the biggest economy in Africa; this was as a result of the appreciation of the Rand, South Africa’s currency and the concomitant depreciation of naira over US dollar caused by the reduction in oil prices. You may recall that two years ago during Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, Nigeria overtook South Africa as the biggest economy in Africa after the rebasing of the nation’s economy. Nigeria is currently a mono-economy and no country maintains economic stability in such situation, hence the current administration must go beyond the usual government rhetorics and revamp the nation’s economy so that the people can experience economic development. To diversify the economy, government should look into the following areas:
