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 now....

A corrupt governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat and went to prison for it is pardoned and can now run for office again... he was called a good man, and man patriotic Americans are called enemies of the state...

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.

XXAID - 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...

DARWANIAN Theory - The Driving Force Behind America's Capitalism Philosophy

Communism died, and capitalism survived. Capitalism is a supposed system that allows freeness in an economy - market forces in the hands of private owners control what happens to the economy with minimal influence by the state. Capitalism has produced enormous wealth in the West. There are so many millionaires and billionaires. The question is, what is the ratio of the stupendously rich and those who are just scraping by - living from pay check-to-pay check? The gap is huge between the rich and the poor in most capitalist states. When President Trump was going to deliver his tax reform, it favored the rich with about 80% of the tax benefits going to the top 1% richest people in America. The argument was that they create jobs, they should benefit more - money is being given to those who really do not need the extra cash but those who need it the most, aids is been taken away from people who are at the bottom of the ladder because of a few who lie on their social welfare claims. I h...

Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway, Another White Elephant Project by the Nigerian Government?

Except Nigeria changes its approach to project execution fundamentally, I do not see the Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway project finishing in my lifetime. This project was conceived in 2006 by OBJ, 18 years ago. They are just starting today... 2024. If things are done properly, it will take 8 years - 8 years oh... that could be 80 years in Nigeria. How many decades since the Ibadan - Ilorin highway was conceived (since 1979) - it was restarted in 1999 during OBJ who conceived the road during his first stint in government as a military head of state. The road is yet to be completed, and the portion completed is already dilapidated, worse than the old road. Lagos - Ibadan expressway is yet to be fully completed 25 years since it was awarded. There have been several awards and re-awards since 1999 and billions of dollars have been wasted on a major road that links the commercial hub of Nigeria to the rest of the nation. There are so many other Federal highways like this, especially those ...
