Owo A Pe K’anu Ko (Money money money – the tongue twisting word)





Eni to f’airii ise re’le ore yio mon baye tihun sara fun ni (You really would not know your value before your friends until you are jobless)
Ore ata o si, se tio owo ba si l’owo (Many call you close/best friend because of what you have to share)
T’owo ba tan n’ile l’aya bu ni lalakora (When there is nothing, then you know how little you could become before your very spouse)
Osi ni je tani mon ori, owo lohun mo bao tan (Poverty is highway to rejection and wealth turn you to instant celebrity)
Owo to so Adebisi, gbogbo araye patapata ni di ebi eni owo mba je (Money will turn you to the friend of all, and everyone will want to din with you like the wealthy man – Adebisi)
Eni a ba ra kafi ra atupa to wa deni ajitana wo nko (One that could have been sold for a penny is now the morning star because of his sudden wealth).
Se bi owo nini l’owo lo s’eru ile deni ti guni kese kiri (Wealth can turn a onetime slave to the master of all)
Owo ape kanu kanu ko (Money money money – the tongue twisting word).

STATE OF THE NATION - Nigeria takes one step forward, and ten steps backward...

I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE NUKES IN OUR WORLD TODAY?

I quote the father of nukes himself, Albert Einstein , “ Mankind invented the atomic bomb , but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap ”… No nation should have nukes. If some would, then any nation who want should be able to… current situation creates a power imbalance because those who have it are seen as extremely powerful, and those who don’t are extremely weak nations… Here is a list of nations with nukes – declared and undeclared: U.S., China, Russia, Pakistan, India, France, UK, Israel, and North Korea . These countries host nukes from other countries – Germany , Italy , Türkiye , Belgium , Netherlands and Belarus … Many of USSR ’s former regions like Ukraine and Kazakhstan had nukes, and were tricked to give them up, a decision they all regret today. It is known that Japan , though do not have nukes, have capabilities to develop and launch them within a short time, even from the space. Why can’t other nations have nukes? Ownership of nukes is why Iran is holding the...

U.S. SECRETLY BANNED MANY VISA CATEGORIES FOR NIGERIANS

  Secretly, the U.S. government has paused the issuance of OPT (Optional Practical Training - temporary work permit) to Nigerian students. They have also ceased awarding new student visas to Nigerians with full scholarships. They did this for several other visa categories, including F1 , asylum , and naturalization . It is not that you cannot apply; you can; they just will not process your visa. The reasoning behind this remains a mystery, other than the fact that Nigeria is a nation of concern. No Nigerian has carried out a terrorist attack on U.S. soil or anywhere outside their country... Some relate this to the non-cooperation of President Tinubu 's administration with the current U.S. government in making Nigeria a dumping ground for undocumented migrants. Ghanaians continue to enjoy access to all U.S. visas. The disheartening thing is that this ban/pause/whatever also extends to sponsorship of siblings and several other visa categories... A new executive order, a few days ago...
