THE JOE BIDEN EXAMPLE: For all her Foreign Policy misadventures the US has raised the bar of governance and responsible leadership that the world and those who seek to truly serve the people must learn from. Joe Biden had been in public office for 43 years. He was elected into the Senate at 29. Served in the Senate for 35years and 8years as Vice President yet he couldn't afford to pay for the expensive cancer treatment of his son who was the Attorney General of his State of Delaware. The son was an Iraq war veteran who served in the Army before he became Attorney General. Biden had to offer his house for sale to be able to pay for the medical care of his son, of course the son must have spent himself out before Biden, the father could come in to help pay the bill. Obama had to stop him from selling his house and offered to pay for the medical care from his own personal money. Unfortunately the son died but not after the father had given all his best. Delaware is very close to Was...

*** Twisted Values*** By Pius Adesanmi Yesterday, President Obama gave one of the most significant speeches of his life - his farewell speech. Sasha Obama, his youngest daughter, was missing in action. Naturally, the Americans needed and wanted to know the whereabouts of the young lady. The answer was swift in coming. In a democracy, a Presidency does not have the luxury of joking with the time and emotions of its employers - the people. When they want to know something, you provide information. Sasha Obama has an exam this morning. She needed to remain in Washington and study for it. In other words, some teacher in a secondary school in Washington fixed an exam which conflicted with the schedule of the Presidential family and the President's schedule had to take a back seat. An SS1 exam fa. We need to draw weighty lessons and conclusions from this scenario. This has happened in America at a time when someone enforced the extant laws of Nigeria and was fired and the law suspen...

Pastor Adeboye Real reason General Overseer stepped down Conflict between the State and Religion played a huge part in Adeboye's announcement last Saturday. But that's only half the story Pastor E A Adeboye  (articlewn) Last Saturday, Pastor Enoch Adeboye announced that he'll be quitting his post as General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). As everyone got apprehensive, the church clarified that 'Daddy Adeboye' wasn't leaving the church for good--he'll continue as General overseer worldwide while Joshua Obayemi ( who was former special assistant to Adeboye on finance) will become the national (Nigeria) overseer. It was perfectly legal for the Christian faithful to become jittery on account of Adeboye's departure. 'Daddy Adeboye' of the 'everybody shout Hallelujah' fame has become synonymous with the RCCG and Christendom in deeply Religious Nigeria. Not many know that Adeboye isn't the founder of the RCCG...

Chap 4: The northern kingdoms of the Savanna Trade was the key to the emergence of organized communities in the savanna portions of Nigeria. Prehistoric inhabitants adjusting to the encroaching desert were widely scattered by the third millennium BC, when the desiccation of the Sahara began. Trans-Saharan trade routes linked the western Sudan with the Mediterranean since the time of Carthage and with the Upper Nile from a much earlier date, establishing avenues of communication and cultural influence that remained open until the end of the 19th century. By these same routes, Islam made its way south into West Africa after the 9th century AD. By then a string of dynastic states, including the earliest Hausa states, stretched across the western and central Sudan. The most powerful of these states were Ghana, Gao, and Kanem, which were not within the boundaries of modern Nigeria but indirectly influenced the history of the Nigerian savanna. Ghana declined in the 11th century but wa...

Chap 3: Yoruba and Benin kingdoms Historically the Yoruba have been the dominant group on the west bank of the Niger. Of mixed origin, they were the product of periodic waves of migrants. The Yoruba were organized in patrilineal groups that occupied village communities and subsisted on agriculture. From about the 8th century adjacent village compounds, called ile, coalesced into numerous territorial city-states in which clan loyalties became subordinate to dynastic chieftains. The earliest known of these city states formed at Ife and Ijebu. The latter city was fortified by a wall and ditch known today as Sungbo's Eredo around 800 AD. Urbanization was accompanied by high levels of artistic achievement, particularly in terracotta and ivory sculpture and in the sophisticated metal casting produced at Ife. The Yoruba placated a luxuriant pantheon headed by an impersonal deity, Olorun, and included lesser deities who performed various tasks. Oduduwa was regarded as the creator of the e...

Chap 2: Igbo states The Nri Kingdom in the Awka area was founded in about 900 AD in North Central Igboland. The Nsukka-Awka-Orlu axis is said to be the oldest area of Igbo settlement and therefore, homeland of the Igbo people. This ancient kingdom is still considered the cradle of Igbo culture. The Nri people are children of the historical and mythical divine king Eri (founder of Aguleri of the Umueri clan on the Anambra river valley). It was a center of spirituality, learning, and commerce. They were agents of peace and harmony whose influence stretched beyond Igboland. The Nri people's influence in neighboring lands was especially in Southern Igalaland and Benin kingdom in the 12th to 15th centuries. As great travelers, they were also business people involved in the long distant Tran Saharan trade. The development and sophistication of this civilization is evident in the bronze castings found in Igbo Ukwu, an area of Nri influence. The Benin kingdom became a threat in the 15...

The Ife model of government was adept and derived its military strength from its cavalry forces, which established hegemony ...

I decided to read a copy of the National Grazing Reserve Council Bill and I was surprised at what I saw. The Bill creates a council to be chaired by a Chairman to be appointed by the president. The council shall have the power to take your land anywhere the land is located in the country and then pay you compensation. Your land, when taken, shall be assigned to herdsmen who shall use your land for grazing purposes. They shall bring cows to the land and you shall lose the land permanently to those Fulani cattlemen. If you feel that the council was not right to take your land, you can go to court but before you go to court, you must first of all notify the federal attorney general of your intention to sue the council. Apart from notifying, you must get the consent and authority of the Federal Attorney General before you can sue. So that means that if the Attorney General refuses to give his consent to the suit, you have lost your land forever to the herdsmen. And this law, when pas...

*Nigeria in oil deals with foreign firms* Martin Patience BBC News, Nigeria correspondent Posted at 11:56 4 Jan Oil is the Nigerian government's main source of revenue The state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has awarded its crude oil contracts to 39 companies for 2017. Almost half of the firms are Nigerian but international winners included China’s Sinopec, British Petroleum (BP) and France's Total. The contracts cover around 1.3 million barrels of oils produced a day. By announcing the winners, the state-owned oil company said it was seeking greater transparency when it comes to awarding contracts. Previous deals have been shrouded in secrecy leading to accusations of widespread corruption. At current oil prices, the contracts for more than half of Nigeria’s oil production are worth more than $70m (£57m) a day. Oil sales are crucially important for the government, accounting for around two thirds of its revenue. But they also generate ...

Two important management lessons Lesson 1. I was in an audience listening to a motivational speaker. The speaker got his wallet out & pulled out a k100 note. Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this k100 note?" Lots of hands went up, including mine. A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout "Me!" "Me!" I began to wonder who the lucky one would be and who the speaker would choose. And I also secretly wondered (and I am sure others did too) why he would simply give away k100. Even as the shouts of "I want it" grew louder, I noticed a young woman running down the aisle straight onto the stage to the speaker, and grabbed the k100 note from his hand. "Well done, young lady," said the speaker into the microphone. The speaker simply said "Most of us just sit and wait for good things to happen. That's of no use. You've got to make things happen. Make a move" 'simply thinking about doing something...

Godwin Obaseki simply studied the Simple Agenda and he's borrowing Edo PDP model on Taxes and Levies. “I must quickly mention that one issue that continues to agitate Edo people is the lawless activities of some individuals, who persist in harassing and extorting innocent citizens under the guise of collecting taxes and levies. The laws of our country vest the responsibility for collecting taxes exclusively on the three tiers of government, for instance, Federal, State and local governments.”...Governor Godwin Obaseki We are pleased to quote governor Obaseki as he seems to have taken excerpts from the PDP Manifesto; The Simple Agenda and adopted the policy and position the Edo PDP had and have over the years advocated for. Edo people will recall our rejection and condemnation of the APC state government obnoxious tax and levy policy where they used all manner of thugs to intimidate, harass and impoverish traders, taxi and bus drivers, market women as well as small shop o...

EFCC awaits Adams response to Petition. With all due respect to the online and media speculation, it would be unforgivable if those that know what's going on keep quiet and allow lies and propaganda to fill the air....cyber and natural... you will recall that a few weeks ago just after Adams left office, a petition about his alleged pilfering of state resources and embezzlement was submitted to EFCC. We are aware that EFCC has sent him a copy of the petition to respond to. We are also aware that EFCC has contacted the petitioners to submit more evidence, pictures, vouchers or any other documents in their possession to confront Adams whenever he is invited for questioning. We were not surprised to see him run to Aso Rock as these events developed . So please let's stop all these about appointment. Is Adams the first or only person been considered for ministerial appointment.  Kingibe didnt need to visit villa to be touted as the power behind the throne.  Propaganda deployed in...

*APC 1:1-16* Our Reading For Today Is Taken From The Book Of APC Chapter 1 Verse 1 To 16.... 1. And it came to pass, when the Lord would punish Nigeria, that he gave them a president under whose hand they were mightily oppressed. 2. Before he ascended the throne, he made them hope, with all manner of promises, that he would bring them to the promised land before the coming year began. 3. Thus the inhabitants of Nigeria grew restless with their good condition, and sorely vexed the president under whose hand they had prospered, so that he would not have the office of the president again, but rather resented it. 4. In those days also the Boko haramites laid siege to the north, and slew of the people three and twenty thousand, intending to set up a kingdom which would be ruled by Islam. . 5. Thus the inhabitants of Nigeria remembered not the good deeds of Jonathan, but thrust him out of the throne, and made Buhari president in his stead. 6. Buhari was three-score and twelve year...

DONALD TRUMP'S FULL  SPEECH ON WHY HE HATES AFRICANS & ARABS. We are not obliged,even for a second,   to try to prove to anybody and especially to blacks and Arabs that we are superior people - we have demonstrated that to the black and Arabs in 1001 ways. The America we know today was not created by wishful thinking.We  created it at the expenses of intelligence, sweat and blood.....we do not pretend like other whites that we like the blacks - We must admit,without any fear,that we don't like them,and for so so may many valid reasons. The fact that blacks and Arabs look like human beings does not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles because they look alike. if God had wanted us to be equal to blacks and Arabs, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently.Whites, blacks, yellow, the rulers and the ruled. intellectually we are superior to the bla...

Fmr Finance Minister: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. I still find it funny that most people don't know why Nigeria economy went into recession, they love the incompetent lies of Lai Mohammed about the past government ruining everything. It's also myopic to think that if Jonathan were to still be in power, we would be worse off. The truth about Nigeria's recession is this; it was caused by the president's unguided rhetoric and uncultured body language. Firstly, there is nothing we are buying today that we weren't buying 5 years ago, therefore it's not our purchase that put pressure on Naira but withdrawal of funds by foreign investors. After the election, the president created instability with his unguided statements about how everyone is corrupt and how everyone is going to jail. The instability made foreign investors to liquidate their investment and change their money to dollars. In the process of trying to flee, they were willing to buy dollars at any...

I AM A WOMAN!!! - So what? I get into an argument with a man, he slaps me, I feel the pain, yet they tell me I provoked him. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him. I get into an argument with a man, I slap him, they tell me I have no respect, no home training. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him. Because I am a woman, I don't have a right to be angry. So, the degree of my innocence is directly proportional to the degree of my silence in the face of oppression and brutality..... Because I am a woman, my husband cheats on me, I am told to tolerate it to save my marriage. The barbaric and stupid excuse is that ''it is in their nature to cheat, I should slim down, dress better, cook better, pray harder and be more pleasant to him" I cheat, and I am called a whore, I have committed an abomination, I have no right to look elsewhere for the love and emotional support I lack at home, I ...

An open letter to President Buhari on January 1, 2017   January 02 17:05 2017 BY ARIYO-DARE ATOYE Dear Mr. President, Your Excellency, with respect and humility, I greet you in the name of the Almighty God, the creator of heaven and earth, the merciful Lord who granted you the opportunity to be the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at the fourth attempt and who has made it possible for us to see a new year – 2017. It is my candid prayer that the plan of God for Nigeria shall be fulfilled. Amen. I wish to use this open letter to urgently draw your attention to the import of a recent statement you made on the Christmas day when you received, in the Villa, some senior citizens residing in the Federal Capital Territory, who had come to greet you. I also think it is crucial for Nigerians to fully understand the consequences of such comments, so that we could all work collectively to help you. But let me first congratulate you and your precious wife on the...
