Chief Agbobu It beggars belief that at a time, the PDP is apologising to Nigerians for ruining the nation, chief Chris Agbobu of Delta state PDP and a former Minister of defence has chosen the path  of a lap dog at his age. What people do, especially as elder statesmen is to declare the truth. But not chief Agbobu. He has shirked his responsibilities to not only his local government, Aniocha South, but to Anioma nation and the whole of Delta state by taking a swipe at the well respected Chief Hyacinth Enuha who merely exercised his rights to free speech by holding to account the lack-lustre government in Delta state. Every citizen, both young and old, has the constitutional mandate to speak as they deem fit, regarding the services or lack of it, from those they have elected or as the custom is in Delta state, those that imposed themselves on the people of the state. That's all Chief Hyacinth Enuha did. Chief Enuha is a noble man, brave and courageous. It takes

💠 In the hey days of the insurgence of Boko Haram, under the morbidly corrupt and ineffective administration of Pres. Goodluck Jonathan, young Nigerians from the North East, formed themselves into what later came to be known as the Civilian Joint Task Force, JTF. 💠 They were propelled by the desire to be safe and patriotism drove them. At the time, they felt the Nigerian Army wasn't doing a great job. But today we now know why the Nigerian Army, that has now decapitated Boko Haram failed under Jonathan. 💠 President Jonathan and his more than forty thieves had presided over the looting of the defence funds meant to equip our Army to effectively fight the Boko Haram insurgents. 💠 The Civilian Joint Task Force were mostly farmers and hunters but other professionals whose towns and villages had been sacked, soon joined them and as they were more familiar with the terrain, they became an important part of the defeat of the Boko Haram under the more capable and dedicated Pre

👎🏼 Nearly a year ago, we said that we were in possession of information to the effect that ex President Jonathan, Diezani Madueke and many of their cohorts and PDP looters had allegedly budgeted an obscene amount of money for a media war on the trusted government of President Muhammadu Buhari. 👎🏼 A few months ago, the first shot was fired. It began from the North. Dr. Junaid Mohammed may not be part of this sinister orchestrated plan, but he played into their hands so they jumped on his tail. 👎🏼 After Dr. Junaid Mohammed's attack, came the Northern Christian Association of Nigeria. They ignorantly opined that all appointees of the President from the north were Moslems. It was a dead giveaway that the writer was not from the North. A Northerner would know most names in the north are common to both Christians and Moslems. It was a sponsored piece of nonsense that the leadership of Northern CAN took credit for. 👎🏼 They then employed the services of foreign medi

📛 35 thousand barrels a day. That's all we now get from oil.  We think we are punishing Pres. Buhari for daring to wage war against Corruption.  📛 Well, Human Rights organs across the world and even the Anmesty International, can attest to the fact, that for a Military man, President Buhari has exercised the patience of a saint by continually calling for dialogue. 📛 President Buhari has not only begged the Militants to down hostilities, he has appealed to them to embrace dialogue.  President Buhari has gone ahead to set up various avenues for dialogue and many militant groups took advantage of it to dialogue. 📛 In the month of June, in spite of the continued economic crimes by the Militants against our nation, the Federal government, States and Local Governments, shared ₦559.032. 70% of that June allocation was from non-oil sector –  📛 "We are proud of the development and we tell ourselves that this is the time to fund the budget of the Federal

🌟The Amnesty Programme was inherited by the Pres. Buhari administration. As with most projects in Nigeria, Pres. Jonathan neither started it nor had exit plans for the 30,000 young men and women who signed up to lay down their arms and be rehabilitated to become useful members of our society. 🌟About Two years ago, many headlines in Nigerian news outfits screamed like this: "Amnesty Programme: FG has abandoned us – Nigerian students in UK send SOS to Jonathan Read more: http://dailypost.ng/2014/04/11/amnesty-programme-fg-abandoned-us-nigerian-students-uk-send-sos-jonathan/ 🌟For leaders who are emotionally intelligent, this could have been an embarrassment but President Jonathan's priorities did not include standing by the government's obligation and commitment to the Amnesty Programme. 🌟In spite of the delay in making appointments into the administration of President Buhari, an Adviser on the Abandoned Amnesty Programme, was appointed within two mont

Dear Sir, Congratulations on your appointment. Sen. Abdulmumin Jibrin made series of serious Allegations against the Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives and some other Principal Officers of the House. When he arrived home straight from making these allegations, Police Officers were waiting at his door. They escorted him back to  the Police Station. On their way to the Police Station, Hon. Jibrin called his Lawyers and they advised him not to make any statement until they arrived. The Police, Hon Jibrin and his Lawyers assembled at the Police Station. The interrogation began. It was long and ended at about 3am the following morning. The Police looked at the Statement made by Hon. Jibrin, side by side with the evidence he provided. They decided that there were strong evidence that Hon Yakubu Dogara, Hon. Yusuf Lasun, Hon Leo Ogor and Hon Ado Doguwa, had conspired to defraud Nigerians. At exactly 5am, four sets of crack police officers and me

NIGERIANS know what to expect when they approach police checkpoints. “How can you appreciate me?” ask officers, AK-47s dangling languidly from their shoulders. “Happy weekend!” say security guards from the early hours of Friday morning. Or simply: “What do you have for me?” Nigeria, as David Cameron, Britain’s former prime minister, pointed out, is “fantastically corrupt”. In Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, it is 31st from the bottom. Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler, wants to change this. How is he doing? Few doubt Mr Buhari’s intent. But the task he has set himself is Herculean. Successive military and civilian governments have siphoned money from the vast revenues of their oil industry. Many locals think the problem reached unprecedented heights under the previous administration of Goodluck Jonathan. In March an official audit found that the state-owned oil company withheld over $25 billion from the public purse between 201
