The Absurdity of the Buhari Project Challenge; My Take....

Recently, some people started a campaign on social media and offered to award handsome prizes to anyone who can name any project started and completed by the Buhari administrations. It may seem difficult to name, but that challenge in itself is absolute stupidity and to think that people who went to school shared it is very disturbing in itself. It is common knowledge that this administration has been completing and commissioning abandoned projects by previous administrations.

We all quote that government is a continuum, but in practice, who has ever applied that principle in Nigeria. Nigerians should be very grateful that a responsible government disengaged from the normal practice of abandoning old projects and initiating new ones for the purpose of bragging that it was their idea. Most abandoned projects were avenues where billions were looted. But sorry to disappoint you, The Federal Government of Nigeria and President Muhammadu Buhari expressed very clear commitment to finish ongoing and abandoned projects. This should be highly appreciated by every reasonable and patriotic Nigerian.

While new projects are being initiated and undertaken all over the country, we must have a new mindset of doing things. There are thousands of abandoned projects littered all over the states and state governors are busy awarding new contracts. This practice must stop and that what makes PMB different from the others. As this present administration is setting new standards in government project continuity, 1 Corinthians 3:6 comes to mind. "I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow". It means that we should stop playing unnecessary politics with national development and give credit where it is due. Whether OBJ or GEJ started and PMB completed is awesome. At the end, it's the Nigeria people that benefits and everyone becomes the winner.
God bless Nigeria.

Anambara State And The Charles Chukwuma Soludo Template

The template Professor Chukwuma Soludo is bringing to the table in Anambara is fantastic if implementable. But it will definitely be a hard nut to crack. As a professor of Economics, Prof knows that there is a political angel to governance and not everyone is master in this regard. If you are a student of politics, you should be conversant with the word "Realpolitiks" It's German term meaning "the politics of reality." The term is used to describe tough and engaging power politics with no room for idealism or any form of moral or ideological considerations. Not many politicians are masters in this field. The question is; can Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo wriggle and flounder through the muddy waters of hardcore politics. Former Lagos state governor Ambode comes to mind. This interplay between the Political Ideal and Reality is the major reason why politicians and political parties fail to fulfil their campaign promises. Remember that politicians all over t...

Nigeria First World Cup Match in Russia, The Mocking of a Great Nation and Bitterness Taken Too Far.

Can't we have some moments of fun just like many other countries of the world? Is foolishness only resident in the Nigerian youths? Must we use every single thing to show bitterness, exhibit our youthful exuberance and then play politics to show how much we hate our nation or the person (s) at the helm of affairs. It's really getting too nasty for my liking. Nigeria is not the only nation that lost their first game in the ongoing World Cup in Russia and not the only country to have done so since the inception of the World Cup. Rejoicing and making merry that your country lost and insulting the person of your president is not only shameful, but despicable, contemptible,atrocious, disgusting, iniquitous, diabolical, criminal and politics of bitterness taken too far. Losing the first game of the tournament could be fatal, but not that it's over. In the past World Cups, many teams lost their opening games and still made it to the second round. I remember that Ghana in 2006,...

When China executed 26 of her corrupt officials.

China is world's leading executioner. No mercy. The history of the death penalty in China, is deeply rooted, dating back thousands of years. Political philosopher Shang Yang (390-338 BCE) was among the founders of Chinese legalism, a classical school of thought, and known for advocating a stronger judicial system. China still practice it till today. Research by Amnesty International in 2010, 23 countries use death penalty for different crimes including the United states. People and nations have argued that the method is cruel and inhumane regardless of the crime committed. Here In Nigeria, many people are advocating death penalty for corrupt government officials for the pains they have inflicted on the masses. However, it should be noted at the same time that there is only one issue that can be used as a litmus test for humanism and that is the death penalty. Do you want this in Nigeria to check corruption and corrupt officials?
