Are we fighting corruption or aiding it?

This is a dangerous time

When you are screaming "we are fighting corruption" while in actual fact, you are aiding and abetting corruption and people who have gone to prison for corruption, who is deceived? The same set of people who handed power over to the person whose single goal is to benefit people who helped him escape prison term..

Everything is now for sale ....

A corrupt governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat and went to prison for it is pardoned, acrypto king who was sentenced for criminal activities and pleaded guilty was released because his company floated your coin.. Some of these nefarious people can now run for office with their corrupt tendencies... The premise for releasing some of these people is questionable, and pedestrian to say the least.... "they said he was called a good man," "they said he was unjustly treated even though his platform delibrately helped criminals to launder money," Meanwhile, patriotic Americans are called enemies of the state and criminals..
Allege corrupt Mayor now has charges against him dropped after promising fish... many career prosecutors have resigned because of this...

An organization that ensures ordinary citizens are not cheated by sharks within the financial sector is closed... just because the co-president has an alleged vested interest in using a hijacked platform as a financial platform.
USAID - an aid organization, which helps to support free and fair elections across the world, among several other noble soft fighting powers used by the nation to defeat its enemies, is shut down on the grounds that it is a corrupt organization. In actual fact, it is based on the request from authoritarian leaders (Putin of Russia, Maduro of Venezuela, Ortega of Nicaragua, Orban of Hungary, etc.) across the world who see the aid agency as a torn in their flesh in checking their attempt at indefinite hold to power...

So, are we aiding and abetting corruption or curbing it? No single corruption is yet to be found while many lawful public employees have lost their means of livelihood, and many are facing bankruptcy... while we see a lot of corruption being perpetuated in an unprecedented rate. The congress that is supposed to serve as a check and balance has fallen in line. The opposition is completely disarmed because the electorate said this is what they want.. A people deserve the leader they get, and the whipping is yet to start, and ALL will be beaten.

We are in a dangerous time, home and abroad... I warned about this extensively before the election. We are just four weeks in and a lot of dangerous decisions that will set us back more than 100 years are being taken. Some of them will destroy the very fabric of institutions that created America's exceptionalism... The unfortunate news is that the people who are being impacted are not just people who opposed an authoritarian man but people who embraced him...

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...
