NEWS FROM NIGERIA - THE NATION IS BROKE and NEAR BANKRUPTCY

Buhari's government has finally ruined Nigeria in less than 8 years in office, our monthly debt servicing is now more than our revenue... Very soon, Nigeria will declare bankruptcy.... soon, we will not be able to pay salaries again and our creditors will begin to take over our country. How can a country so blessed be this poor?

When Buhari's government was borrowing money for white elephant projects (projects that are not bringing return nor advancing our economy in a way to bolster the nation's revenue) and the likes of Fashola and Amaechi (who have allegedly become billionaires in dollars) were justifying the need to borrow to stupor, we told them they are selfish.

The corruption that ruined Nigeria is not just from the politicians alone, most of it comes from ordinary Nigerians - civil servants. Civil servants entrusted with the duties of administration have created artificial bottlenecks in order to fleece everyone they are supposed to serve including other parastatals - research institutes, universities, etc., pay to get their monthly subvention. They inflate and pad budgets, and you will never hear leftover budget being sent back to the ministry of finance in Nigeria, the money grow wings and fly away by the end of the year. You cannot do anything at the highest level in Nigeria without paying bribes. I have first-hand recent experiences.

Those in the presidency, executive arm, and legislature waste taxpayers' money on frivolous activities - unwarranted trips, flying the president's daughter to pictures in Bauchi from Abuja, the president's wife living in Dubai for months - most likely on taxpayer's back, travel abroad for training that can be facilitated at home, they and their family go abroad for medical treatments on taxpayers' back while they neglect our hospitals, their kids go to school abroad on corruption proceeds, their allowances are bogus. ASUU better call off their strike, Nigeria is broke.

... all this wasteful spendings create a government that cannot pay its bill. We said Jonathan's government was corrupt, but Buhari's government will go down in history as the most corrupt government ever since independence.

The nation is going down the drain - if our monthly debt servicing is more than our revenue, it implies that the nation's debt will continue to balloon, and we will default on our loan payments. If we default on Chinese loans, we will see a take-over of our infrastructures. It is coming except something drastic happens quickly....

That drastic thing is to choose wisely in 2023. If we vote in the same set of wickedly corrupt people in the next election.... they will ruin what is left and take a flight when it all falls apart...

THERE IS A SHORT WINDOW FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, CONCERNED PARTIES SHOULD GRAB IT WITH BOTH HANDS

Exactly a year today, the terror organization Hamas struck terror in the hearts of Israelis. Over 1200, mostly innocent people were murdered in cold blood in the most barbaric way. The evil wrecked by Hamas reminds us of the evil we are capable of as humans if we think there will not be any form of accountability. The attack is condemned in all of its forms. Such should never happen again. My heart goes out to families mourning dead family members, and those still waiting for their families taken hostage to return to them alive.   Since then, the Israeli army has unleashed terror of their own on Hamas, in the process killing so many innocent Palestinians in an attempt to exterminate Hamas, and their own terror continues, mostly on innocent Palestinians. Israel engaged in what some called genocide by cutting off water, food, power, internet, and major resources to over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. The world has condemned the way Israel is prosecuting the war because they have bee...

When you discover the wisdom of the universe, it is as if...

When you locate the wisdom of the universe, it would be as if you have a magic wand... Your prosperity rolls over, you climb to the top faster and leave many behind... Funke Akindele's movie, "A tribe called Judah" remains the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood (Nigeria's movie industry). I saw the movie last week and could not make head or tail of it.. But something was unique about it. It was the first Nigerian movie that cast MANY actors from all the major ethnic groups in the nation.. These are top actors... For so long, Nollywood has been divided along ethnic lines... You have the Yorubas doing their thing, the Igbos doing their own and our brothers in the North, the Hausas doing their own. But this movie cast actors from everywhere, so, it became a must-see for almost all Nigerians ... Funke Akindele is a talented writer, actor, and producer. But she is also a shrewd businesswoman. She located the wisdom in tapping the talent of diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria...
