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...

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard ... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals , so they need to hire more conservative , whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism . They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter ; Black Lives Matter , and Palestinian Lives Matter ... All Lives Matter . A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay t...

Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country

  Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country When I see the shameful drama unfolding in the Senate in Nigeria , I see impunity. When those who are supposedly elected into political offices are abusing the power they hold in trust for the rest of us in daylight, then you know they have no fear of the electorate... The Senate President in Nigeria , Akpabio , forced a motion that obviously failed, down the throat of his colleagues... The motion was to humiliate Senator Natasha and force her to apologize for daring to accuse Akpabio of alleged sexual harassment before she is re-admitted to the senate after serving the unlawful six-month suspension imposed on her. What saddens me the most are the fellow female senators who have either kept quiet or have reprimanded Senator Natasha for speaking out, including the wife of the president, Remi Tinubu , who faced many sexist comments and threats when she was a senator. Remi Tinu...
