STOP!Don't curse NIGERIA again!

I don't need America to tell me that.Nigeria will inevitably collapse.It just exists like something hanging on a thread.I pray to Almighty God everyday for the collapse of Nigeria.I pray five times a day and in all the five times,I say God,you are a God of justice.This country is satanic.Oh God,if you love the people,let this evil entity collapse.Nigeria will surely collapse.I don't believe in Nigeria.I have never seen myself as a Nigerian.Ihate Nigeria as i hate satan(News,2005)
The above statement was made by Asari Dokubo while reacting to an American intelligent report on the likely collapse of Nigeria.I really was spechless when i read this piece.As much as i feel so much concern for the Niger deltans,this is a highly negative comment made against the country.
I wish we would pray instead of these kind of statements.Let us compare Nigeria to the other west african states,they are very small and can not dare be what Ngeria is and can be,and will be.It does not favour us as people if the country breaks and the components become  banana republics.Nigeria is a country with potential and all that is needed is a conscious effort by her citizens and tenacity on the asking of questions from our representatives that we have entrusted with power.GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

85 fake corpers sentenced to one year in prison

It is unfortunate that these youths are going to be termed ex-convicts.Imagine 85 youths which even with their certificates are not guaranteed of employment,now having a dented record.Some have been graduates for years with no jobs,they are already dis-illusioned not to talk about the record that these one will have.The Niger-delta militants have been granted amnesty and trained to have a good life while they took up arms against the state,some will argue that the Niger-delta case was or is different but these ones,who are also fighting for their future like Niger-deltans ....have been condemned to prison with an option of 21,000 naira.
In as much as one does not support fraudulent acts,these youths need not be condemned this way.The speed at which they were convicted suprises me,because it takes Nigeria's judiciary 3 years to determine the case of election fraud,it took them 2years to determine Olabode George's case,but 24 hours to determine the case of these hapless ones......hmn!can this be just?it is left for citizens to understand that laws are made for the powers that be by those in power and against those on the other divide.
The Youth corpers who lost their lives during April 2011 general elections are yet to get justice because there is no record of anyone convicted...not even the security operatives who are constitutionally responsible for the security of lives and properties of all citizens not to talk of how important these corpers were in respect to the National assignment they were carrying out when they met their deaths.
SAVE THE YOUTHS!......SAVE THE FUTURE.....!

NANS backs Mimiko’s 2nd term bid

AKURE—  Following approval of the N22,000 minimum wage across board for civil servants in Ondo State, National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has declared its intention to conduct a campus –to –campus campaign for the re-election of Governor  Olusegun Mimiko in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state.
According to a statement by the students and signed by its National Vice President, Mr Gbenga Oyebode, the association said it is working towards a campus-to-campus advocacy in support of the Iroko 2013 revolution.
Promising that it will sensitise the students’ communities on the gains of active participation in the Iroko revolution, while commending Governor Mimiko for approving N22, 000.00 minimum wage for workers in the state.
“The approval is a welcome gesture that has further drawn the appreciation and warmth of the citizenry of the state” they stated, adding further that  the new increment in wages would benefit a lot of people in view of the African family system which makes it imperative that each worker carters for at least 10 other dependants.”
“This singular initiative, among other notable innovative endeavours of Governor Mimiko  will further help the good people of this highly industrious state. NANS therefore make it bold to declare that this increment in minimum wage is worthy of emulation by other Governors in the country,” the statement added.ional Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has declared its intention to conduct a campus –to –campus campaign for the re-election of Governor  Olusegun Mimiko in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state.

Obama campaign: De Niro's joke 'inappropriate'

WASHINGTON (AP) — Actor Robert De Niro opened a fundraiser starring Michelle Obama by listing her Republican rivals and jokingly suggesting that America isn't "ready for a white first lady." Newt Gingrich was not amused. And the Obama campaign says the actor's quip was inappropriate.
Campaigning in Louisiana, Gingrich on Tuesday called De Niro's comment referring to race "inexcusable" and demanded an apology from President Barack Obama.
Obama didn't apologize. But his campaign didn't stand by the actor's sense of humor, either.
Mrs. Obama's campaign press secretary, Olivia Alair, said the joke was inappropriate.
Publicist Stan Rosenfield said De Niro wouldn't respond to criticism of the actor's joke at the New York fundraiser. Rosenfield called the remark "obvious satire."

An 85-year-old woman, Taiwo Ayodeji and Nosiru Isa, 18, on Thursday appeared before an Abeokuta Chief Magistrates' Court charged with stealing a Blackberry phone and other valuables.

The police prosecutor,  Insp. Augustine Ozimini, told the court that the alleged offences were committed on February 23, at about 9 p.m. at Abule Oyun Street, Lafenwa in Abeokuta.

Ozimini said that the octogenarian conspired with the teenager to commit felony, stealing and breaking into the room of one Mr Raheem Olusola.

According to him, apart from the blackberry phone, the accused stole one gold necklace, one palmtop computer, six shirts, shoes, jeans, WAEC and GCE certificates.

He added that N75,000 cash was also missing in the complainant’s room, adding that that "the total value of the items stolen is N244,000.

The police prosecutor said that the alleged offences were contrary to and punishable under Sections 516, 411 and 390 (9) of the Criminal Code of Ogun, 2006.

The accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges, and the old woman, Ayodeji said, "I was only trying to help him because there was flooding as a result of downpour.

"I don’t have the strength and that is why I called our neighbour who is also his friend (Isa) to help pack his  property  to the backyard.

"Nothing is missing from what we packed, how can the complainant now say that we have stolen his things is what I don’t understand."

She added that her intention was to save property of the complainant from further damage.

"I made several unsuccessful attempts to reach him (complainant) on phone to inform him of the incident,'' she claimed.

The counsel to the accused persons, Mr Michael Itiolu, also said that his clients were innocent of the charges.

He said that the complainant was a sub-tenant to Ayodeji because the apartment was transferred to him by someone who rented it from the defendant.

Itiolu, thereafter, applied for the bail of the accused persons, and gave the assurance that they would not jump bail.

In his ruling, the  Chief Magistrate, Mr Akeem Adenariwo, granted the accused persons bail in the sum of N50,000 each, with one surety each in like sum.

He adjourned the case to May 28, for hearing. (NAN)
This is serious,even the aged are not spared in the anomalies of this society!

Can we have Indegenous Language Day?

Nigeria has come of age and is ripe to be truly considered as a Giant that She is.A week ago,a secondary school celebrated the French Day whereby the French language was used to deliver poems,dramas,songs and recitations.There were translations of this language to the audience present.One can nearly bet that none of these students could speak their indigenous languages which is a symbol of anyone's identity.
It is with this in mind, I suggest that there should be a celebration of all the ethnic languages in a carnival like atmosphere whereby a day would be set aside for everyone to speak his or her indigenous language and a translation is done to ensure that We as Africans retain our identity and celebrate our roots.This is the greatest Injustice that the colonialist did to us,this is our chance to undo it.
