The only solution to the current collapse of the economy in Nigeria is to address the subject of CORRUPTION head on. It is not enough to talk about it or uncover corrupt practices among Nigerians of different class - contractors, civil servants and politicians... Talk is cheap... JUSTICE is what matter. If corrupt people are still walking among the rest of us, how will the others still stealing stop? Why is Betta Edu not in handcuffs? Why is Gbajabiamila still the Chief of Staff to Tinubu? Both were implicated in Betta-Edu-Gate. Nigeria is not serious about stamping out corruption. Many people stole under Buhari, the absentee president, and no one but Emefiele is standing trial. Where are the rest? If Emefiele did not step on Tinubu in his quest to be president, he would be walking free, just like the rest of the thieves. Prosecute those caught, send them to jail for a very long time... 20 years, 30 years, 150 years, life in prison, .., and recover all the money they stole, including a...

President Joe Biden is old. He is 81 years old. He looks frail and probably has memory issues as alluded to by the Special Counsel. Here are my takes on the subject: 1. The alternative to Joe Biden is old as well; Donald J. Trump is old as well. He is 77 years old. Four years younger than Biden. There is no difference between the two on the subject of age and failing memory.  2. I will take one over the other any day. They are light and day apart regarding their worldview, what they stand for, their ideals, and their leadership style. One is chaotic, the other is steady; one lies every day-every time, the other tries to tell the truth at all times; one is irrational and has no control over what comes out of his mouth; the other has an anchor and guardrail. One is the King of EMPATHY; the other is an open RACIST who cares about no one but himself. One builds lasting friendship based on sound principles of relationship; the other will befriend the devil so long as he says nice things...

  Congratulations to the Super Eagles of Nigeria! We made it to the final of AFCON in Côte d'Ivoire. I hope we continue to drag ourselves across the line. The game we have scored the highest goal was in 2-0 win over Cameroon. The team is full of individual talents but if you observe, in almost all our games, we were outplayed. We had fewer ball possession than our opponents. Check the stat of each game. We were very lucky today against South Africa. The goalkeeper saved the day many times. So, I can say we have a great goalkeeper in Stanley Nwabali, first time in a very long time. The defenders led by Ekong are very good. We have a pool of super strikers, including current CAF player of the year, Osimhen, and then Lookman, Simon, Chukwueze, Moffi, etc. However, the midfield appear to be very weak. There are two good players in the midfield - Iwobi and Yusuf. Another point is that the style of play adopted by Nigeria in this tournament has been very weird - players at the back mostl...

The genius of a man can be displayed in many forms ... We call one the "evil genius - IBB." Was he not a genius? The question is, how did he use his ingenuity? Many drug lords and mafia heads have extraordinary abilities that make them extremely successful at their evil trade and make them last for so long. We look within the political sphere in Nigeria today and see some who are criminal elements who have corrupted their God-endowed ingenuity to usurp the authority that was supposed to be vied for by all. They have arrogated the benefits of our commonwealth to themselves and their cronies, and we say they are genius... we praise their madness and how they have seized power with their gifts... we lose focus of the evil they are doing and remain in a state of awe of the display of their evil extra-ordinary abilities... There have been men and women in history who transformed humanity because they chose the other side of the spectrum to work. The truth is that, whichever way a ...
