  • POLITICS: I Won't Vote Any Ijaw Man Again!

    By Efio-Ita Nyok



    A member of the royal family in the ancient city of Calabar,namely Prince Ekeng Inyang,  out of an apparent disillusionment against the policies of the ruling party, the PDP, went to a social media platform to vent his disappointment against the political class, both in the state and beyond. 


    He expresses why he will not be casting his ballot in favour of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP). His reaction is categorised under basic themes. Read below in his exact words:

    JONATHAN & OIL
    ‘…That Ijaw man collected our only source of revenue (76 oil wells) and gave to another State without any political compensation’. 


    HIGH TAXATION
    Today the government of the State has to make expenditure and so they resolve to high taxation.


    CRUMBLING INDUSTRIALISATION
    Companies that were cited in CRS went backrupt, others simply ran.

    YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT
    High level of unemployment in CRS and our youths who summoned courage and made alot of sacrifices to start up busineses can’t do so well because of the old crooks who are always there to oppress with tax.


    What other evil do we expect?

    FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
    No single Federal project to sustain the people. 
    Cross River State that was brought into the world map by His Excellency the former governor, Mr Donald Duke is now an abandoned site.

    CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
    The commercial transporters are being victimized by the government because government must generate funds by all means yet forsakes it’s primary responsibilities of making those roads motorable.

    CRIME
    Graduates have now officially turned political thugs because that’s the only place they eat from.


    Used and dumped*



    Yet this set of poverty-striken people, victimized, oppressed, bewitched, mal-treated are now the ones who repel against change just because the PDP Government have decided to print T-shirts and give to them to trek under hot sun in the name of campaign. 


    Shebi I dey here…I will still hear una complain.

    DEFENCE FOR BUHARI
    As for me…I will vote change.
    I will vote Muhhamadu Buhari. ..that Hausa man that you say has no certificate and he is old.
    Why? 
    He had once proven he could change things and his love for the downtrodden. 
    The fact the rich thieves don’t want us to uncover.
    I still believe in him.


    The weaknesses of his youthful life has been strengthen by age.


    Yes Buhari#

  • INSPIRATIONAL: "The Ruin Of A Nation Begins In The Home Of It's People"

    The building block of any nation is the home. A corrupt nation is a reflection of a corrupt home. Character begins at home. The values people learn at home is what they show when they are leaders. What happens at home is not a private matter. In other words, the influence of the home extends beyond it. So if you are a parent, remember that if you are not bringing up your children in the right way, you are contributing to the ruin of your country. Be wise!
    African proverb.

  • INSPIRATIONAL: "Tomorrow Belongs To The People Who Prepare For It Today"

    We are where we are today because of what we did or didn't do in the past and we will be where we will be in the future because of what we do or don't do today! Preparation is very important, the things we call luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity! Be wise!

  • INSPIRATIONAL: "If You Wish To Move Mountains Tomorrow start By lifting Stones Today"

    Think about the 'mountain' as a vision and the 'stone' as goals. In effect, we  can understand the proverb as saying, in order to achieve any great vision we must break it down into smart goals. Goals are very crucial to any vision. They transform insurmountable mountains into workable hills. The proverb could also be interpreted as saying, we should not be discouraged by our dreams but rather be determined in our desire. Just take things one step at a time and little by little you will get there, if you don't give up!

  • INSPIRATIONAL: "A good leader was once a good follower"

    Great leadership flows from good followers hip! If you are not a good follower, you won't make a good leader. Followers hip is not just a subordinate position- it is a stepping stone to leadership position. Good followers are those who support the leader when he /she is doing the right thing and speak up in a respectful way when things are going wrong. Good followers are able to get along with those of different personalities and perspectives, while not ignoring these differences. A leader must be able to manage people with different characteristics.

    #Don’t over do. Keep your limits.
    # Don’t take yourself so seriously, no one else does.
    # Don’t waste your precious energy on gossips.
    # Dream make while you are always.
    # Envy is a waste of time, you already have all you need.
    # Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his or her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
    # Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
    # Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil your present.
    # No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
    # Smile and laugh more.
    # You don’t have to win every argument, agree to disagree.

  • NEWS: Security Refuses To Be Part Of The Election

    By Dickson Blessing
     Military chiefs had written in a letter to INEC chairman Proffesor Attahiru Jega that the military would not be involved in the General election on the 14th and 28th of this month due to their involvement in keeping peace in the north eastern Nigeria.

    The council of state sits again this morning to decide based on the reasons of the military if the election would be held.

      
    The National Security Adviser to the president Colonel Sambo Dansuki said he had advised INEC chairman to shift the polls based on the letter he received  from the Chief of Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh.
       
    Badeh letter to the NSA with the concurrence of all the service chiefs, said the military had just launched a major effort with the collaboration of Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republic to rid the North East region of Boko Haram insurgents once and for all. He said while the operation lasts, it will not be possible to hold elections in Adamawa, Yobe, Borno and Gombe states. The CDS therefore advised the NSA to advise INEC to either defer elections in the four states or alternatively to postpone elections throughout the country for at least six weeks. He indicated that the military preferred the second option.
    The NSA had briefed the council that the military brass need a postponement while the operation in the North East lasts.
    Its been learnt that the commission has scheduled a series of meetings for today. Professor Jega and his commissioners will meet with political party representatives at 10 am, meet with civil society groups at noon, meet with Resident Electoral Commissioners [RECs] at 2 pm and then hold a full meeting of the commission at 4pm. Afterwards, INEC would announce its final decision to the public.
