  • Nigerians react to President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech offshore

    Few days ago, Nigerian President, Mohamamadu Buhari was in German to strengthen talk with the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, but his speech concerning his wife being made for the kitchen and the bedroom is what has got Nigerians Talking. So, let’s take a look at the comments made by Nigerians below…

    1. Yesterday in Germany just as its very very usual with General Mohammadu Buhari any time he is outside the shores of Nigeria to always cast aspersions or make unguided utterances against the image of Nigeria & Nigerians the very Nation & People he swore to an Oath to protect with his life as a President, Buhari told the whole world in this 21st Century that his Wife/numerous daughters, Soyink’s wife, Obj’s wives, Tinubu’s wife, Abdulsalami’s wife, Oyegun’s wife, Kayemo’s wife, Okoi Obono Obla’s wife, Shagey’s wife, Amaechi’s wife, Fasola’s wife, Soludo’s wife, Lai’s wife, Sanusi’s wives, Osinbajo’s wife, Oby (maybe de reason she was no more allowed into Aso Rock), all other APC members wives & indeed all Nigerian wives/women EXCEPT MY WIFE are all banished to the Kitchen, Pa-lour & other rooms in their houses & what is their SIN, just because they are WOMEN. Am sure we (Nigerians) got the kind of Ruler (Buhari) we deserve. Good morning guys….

    2. The federal government of Nigeria had finally remove women participation in the affairs of the country and other to enable them face the major responsibility of their homes.(kitchen, parlor and bedroom duties). Please don’t forget we love you, and our children must eat on TM. Put on d television and wait in the bed 4 me until i’m back.

    3. I have never pretended to like Buhari. I have never also shied away from criticising our leaders in this country. I thought I had them all figured out until today. I am deeply embarrassed by Buhari’s utterances about his wife this evening. I have seen men and women come out to say his wife deserved what he said about her. I have concluded that we are a people who lack breeding and good home training for believing that it is okay for a man to talk down on his wife in public. I don’t care about the provocation.

    4. For starters, I was against Mrs Buhari’s behaviour because I felt that what she discussed with BBC should have been carried out in the privacy of their home with her husband. As a woman who has been married for about 35 years now, I know how bull headed men can get and I equally know we as women can get our ways with some guile and sweet talk. Oftentimes men imagine themselves in control but we women are the owners of the real control, because we often seize the control by charming our way through.

    5. Now coming to Buhari, the condescending way he referred to his wife was uncalled for. At best he could have sidestepped that questioned and gone home to deal with his flippant wife. This is a woman who has kids with him. How does he face his kids after disrespecting their mom so. He claims that he has more knowledge than his wife? All the more reason why he should have acted in a more dignified manner.

    An eye for an eye will eventually leave everyone blind. That’s all we could take and don’t forget that the reasons we omitted the names and sources was for security reasons. Don’t forget to drop your own comment(s) below…

  • The Coffin, The Man And The People by Iwara Iwara

    By Iwara Iwara 

    Iwara U. Iwara has in recent times shown Cross Riverians how valuable he is with his contribution to the society and the country at large; staging that quest that led to the rewarding of the Calabar Traffic Warden, Nkanu and also restructuring the minds of the people through his diabolical writings and many more. As usual, Iwara has come with yet another valuable piece of writeup where we all ought to learn from, read below…. 

    The Ga-Adamgbe people of Accra, Ghana have over time become world famous because of the coffins they make. I read up, not long ago that on the high streets of Telsi, Eastern Accra, expensive and well crafted coffins, symbolically expressing the interests of the deceased or that of the deceased family are made and displayed like ordinary wares on a shelf. If the deceased owned a beer parlour for instance, he got a bottle-styled coffin made for him or her. Let the deceased be a butcher and the Ga coffin makers will craft an animal-of-choice coffin for the occasion. It goes to say explicitly that these hard-working artisans have mastered not only the customised coffin making craft but also the cleaning up of purposeful cash that their craft insulates and throws up…it is indeed the way to go.

    Meanwhile, recently, at a Margaret Ekpo International airport reception to welcome the Cross River State governor, Ben Ayade, from Abuja (in NIGERIA), a group of supporters (some say they came on their own) arrived the airport with a coffin, not made in Ghana, probably made in Calabar but with the customised inscription, “RIP JOE”, an apparent referral to the wishes of this band of supporters that Joe Agi, a lawyer, Senior Advocate of Nigeria and a prominent Cross Riverian, will have a rested in peace political career, even in percieved extremes, a death wish, from them to him. As the governor addressed the crowd and left his legal wrestle with Agi in the hands of God, the actions of the coffin carriers, ‘impressing’ it on God that Agi MUST rest in peace will surely have dumbfounded God’s angels.

    Those who have laboured explanations for this daylight witchcraft, believe the action of these coffin carriers can best be referred to as an accidental inclusion in the day’s activities, but I resolutely believe it was purposely included by these ‘pall bearers’ without the greatest insights into the goof that was their action. I believe too that their act was dependent on metaphoric outcomes that can only be rationalized in a blind jester’s court. Don’t read this and bother to explain… no rational excuse can be offered to explain the liminal state of their thoughts and unfortunate believe in the stale powers of darkness.

    I had a good laugh watching the governor do his trademark ‘shoki’ dance from his car at the airport, while the mobilized (rented) crowd cheered him on. What I took away was simple; a negative ebullient political innovation was the single most important activity manifested at the governor’s airport arrival. I say so because the direction and magnitude of political support was not truthfully credible; the numbers brought there by Oga’s political appointees can indeed not pass for real political support…believe it or not. Again, had the governor been tactically inclined, he would have scored a massive political point with the coffin saga…how?. From the top of his car, as he sighted the coffin, he would have publicly insisted that it be taken away. He then should have gone ahead to condemn the action, directing security agents present to arrest the ‘pall bearers’, even if they will be released when they get to the nearest police station. Those who offer lame excuses that the governor did not seek the ‘pall bearers’, will resolutely sell us a packaged trip to hell.

    Ayade’s commissioner who addressed the crowd and promised that a protest will be mounted to resist the governor’s legal removal, should it happen, does not understand or even realize the function and limitations of the physical organs of approach in public speaking. What he does understand is that special interests are represented by a given population, and in this instance, those who appear angered by the governor’s consistent inconsistencies, he unfortunately pretends not to know, are many. I am pained that the Ayade administration, several months down the road is yet to develop a technique, that correctly appraises specific people problems and how this technique can be effectively used to give Cross Riverians an economic breather. Inaundating us with countless memoranda of understanding, MOUs, without composite actions on the ground is to say the least, politics not with ethics but with deceit.

    I pray that he turns off the sirens, reduces his convoy so he can hear what our concerns as Cross Riverians are. Ayade’s plans for the state may be many but that just very ‘little’ looks set to be accomplished is limpish. You sincerely cannot be a digital governor and government offices cannot boast of internet connections, to aid digital government work. Oh God, gratuities and pensions for our parents who have long laboured for Cross River State, only trickle in, if hope can be banked on.

    Joe Agi may not offer the best Cross River needs but Ayade’s percieved inactions are making Agi look like an option to pray for but, we must all be cautious, prayerful and hopeful that instead of coffins, reason will prevail and political energy will be directed at creating important channels of reaching the larger public instead of insulting our sensibilities with painful actions and utterances that can only be regretful. Ideas and situations must be made impressive and not dramatic in order to overcome the inertia of false achievements. We are waiting.

  • Obudu urban Traditional Council to stage a protest in Calabar over Electricity blackout, more

    Barely a week after they all trooped to Calabar to support their illustrious son, the governor of Cross River State, Senator Governor Ben Ayade in his welcome back from Abuja tour, the traditional rulers of Obudu Urban, are prepared to return back to Calabar.

    This time, it is not an induced money changed hands welcome party at the airport. It is to protest the governor’s negligence to the plights of Obudu people. It is on record that Governor Ben Ayade had last year promised to provide stable electricity for the people of Obudu and their environs.

    The governor had then established an integrated power plant run by generators to supply electricity to Obudu people. The generators were distributed at strategic point around the town to enhance the distribution of light through the generators. But then, the governor had already disconnected the whole Obudu Urban town from the National Grid before connecting them to the integrated power plants.

    After a month use of the electricity of the integrated power plant, a bill of 7 Thousand Naira was shared to household, and 12-14 Thousand Naira to business premises such as Hair Salons, Barbers Shop, Drinking and Pepper Joints, and other smaller businesses. Hotels and bigger restaurants were mandated to pay between 20-40 Thousand Naira as bills per months.

    The management of the integrated power plant distribution company said that the monies was of the people’s contribution to buy diesel to run the plants. Some households and businesses paid while a larger percentage of families and businesses opted out. The integrated power plant company set up by Ayade then disconnected them from the distribution of the integrated power plant, but without a reconnection to the National Grid.

    Today, the whole Obudu Urban has opted out from the integrated power plant as a result of exorbitant and exploitative billings. The integrated power company is out of business except for the single generator supplying light to the governor’s resident in Obudu. Those who lives in the governor’s house do not enjoy 24/7 electricity as was promised to the whole town before the integrated power plant started.

    Therefore, the Obudu Urban traditional council rulers are to go to Calabar to protest to the governor for such inhuman treatment meted out to them and their families, and in extension, the whole Obudu Urban town.

    According to one person familiar with the story, “the traditional rulers are angry that business activities are slow as a result of no light during the night. And that other businesses that muscle out to run through their own generators are doing so by increasing their prices.”

    Whether the traditional rulers will carry placards and demonstrate on the streets in Calabar, the source said he does not know. “And it will be a taboo for traditional rulers to carry placards against the governor they all galvanized support for a forthnight ago.”

    “It is quite unfortunate that most of the businesses that made Obudu lively, are now relocating to Ogoja or Vandeikiya in Benue State”, the source concluded.”

    Below is the picture of the integrated power plants in Obudu.



  • Attack on Cross River Deputy Governor’s Convoy: Ayade Must Act Now

    Cross River State Deputy Governor, Professor Ivara Esu (Middle) 

    By Inyali Peter

    The cyberspace have been so silent to the unimaginable attack on Cross River state deputy Governor, Prof. Ivara Esu’s convoy by some hoodlums who are allegedly “men” of some tough government officials few days ago.

    The attack reportedly claimed the live of a Police officer, bringing the tally of Policemen who have been gunned down by hoodlums in the state in the last five days to three. It also recorded lost of a vehicle in the deputy governor’s convoy while one of the drivers who was shot is currently struggling for survival in an unknown hospital. This is a sad commentary for a state which tourism is the mainstay of her economy.

    This situation pulse a big challenge and a test of the competence of the current administration led by Senator Ben Ayade’s to protecting lives and properties of Cross Riverians. In fact, if Ayade was sleeping or junketing about signing MOUs, he must wake up and act now.

    About four to five months ago, I did an article with the title “Cross River : A Safe Haven For Criminals Under Ayade”, as usual, I got it hot from the naysayers who obviously are enemies of our dear state. I was vilified and threatened by overzealous Ayade’s supporters for stating the obvious.

    In the article, I faulted the inability of the government to subject political appointees to denouncement of membership of any cult group (A tradition adopted by the former administration) as part of the screening before appointment. Today, we’re reaping that dangerous seed we sown as a result gross negligence by the Governor.

    Even the appointments made after that article, the government still failed to do this very important aspect of screening. Today, we’re faced with a situation that’s threatening the entire unity of our dear state.

    Security is the primary responsibility of any government that’s why after the monthly allocation, there’s a special votes from the federal government to state governors for security. But has the current situation in Cross River reflected the security vote? The answer will be a big no!

    Instead of Governor Ayade’s administration to have conducted a proper security screening for appointees, he introduced a funny screening method of subjecting them to writing aptitude test like they were seeking admission into the university.

    Cross River is in dire need of a responsible and responsive government where cultism will never hold sway again in the state. If the number two man in the state is not safe, what then is the hope of the common man on the street? We have never had it this bad!

    The government must consult wide, organize a security summit where stakeholders across every sector should be invited to participate. Traditional rulers, heads of faith based organizations, heads of tertiary institutions in the state, youths leaders, leadership of political parties etc should all be invited to the meeting.

    Before then, Ayade should consider devolving the current State Executive Council like Akwa Ibom did yesterday to allow him constitute a council that would undergo proper security screening before appointment.

    Security agencies should also reduce the over concentration in urban areas because the robbery in rural areas too has been going on since the inception of this government unabated. In my village, my local church no longer have musical instruments due to armed robbery. It has been attacked two times in two months.

    This is not the Cross River that was once known as the most peaceful state in Nigeria. Calabar is no longer a city to come and rest. Ayade must do something to avoid destroying the tourism potentials of our state.

    Above all, the governor must effectively make use of the security votes. I don’t want to believe the insinuations that some government officials are making fortune from this situation. If Ayade has been sharing the security votes amongst his family members like he put the bailout fund under the control of his younger brother, Frank Ayade, the “powerful” co-governor, the time to release the money to the appropriate authorities to combat this ugly development is now.

    God bless Cross River!

  • The Senselessness in the following Assumption and the rampage of Cross River State by Ifere Paul

    Miscreants paraded by Security personels in Calabar 

    By Ifere Paul 


    Why is it that Calabar has been taken over by bandits, kidnappers, cultists, undertakers, and armed robbers?

    Why is it that for more than one full months that Ben Ayade was galavanting in Abuja, when the Deputy Governor was in charge nothing like this took place?

    Why is it that of all government appointees, it is the convoy or the pilot vehicle of the Deputy Governor that must be attacked?

    These questions are for the Nigeria Police Force, DSS, and SSS that may be drawn in to investigate the matter.

    Is there a friction of relationship between the the legally elected governor and the illegal co-governor? Does the co-governor feels threatened by the new found love and responsibility that has been passed to the Deputy Governor?

    Does that has anything to do with the attack on the convoy and pilot vehicle of our deputy governor? Is there any iota of doubt that the Deputy Governor escaped an assassination attempt?

    Since the governor was welcomed into Calabar, there had been killings and maimings, and destruction of properties. Is there any slightest reasons to suspect that the governor may have directly or indirectly given an order to cause these destruction to enable him withdraw monies from the security votes?

    Mind you, the government has not issued a statement in the Usumutong and Ediba communal clashes were people were massacred. No statement up til now in the Akparabong and Bendeghe Ediem fights. Why has the government refused to issue a statement?

    I think that there was an assassination attempt on the life of the Deputy Governor of Cross River State.

    Government officials should be investigated. Close relations of the Governor must be probed. Their whereabouts as at the time of the crime, their phone conversation must be screened too.

    I’m not insinuating anything. I’m just thinking #CrossRiver.

  • German Women Raise Against Nigerian Leader

    In a press conference with the German leader in Berlin, President Buhari in what might be perhaps his most stupid political blunder yesterday in Germany, in answering a reporters question on the role of his wife in his government, has this to say… “my wife belongs in my Kitchen and in my living room and other room”

    …what a statement! That was politically incorrect.

    The ill adviced President totally forgot that he is standing next to a woman who is a world leader.

    Here in Germany as in the rest of Europe, the issue of women’s right is a delicate one as women have come a long way fighting inequality in both society and at work place. Without warning, a visibly angry Mrs Merkel (the German Chancellor) quickly ended the press conference to save the President further embarrassment.

    The emancipation of women in Europe is a civil rights issue, that is why feminist groups in Germany immediately reacted to his outing as a hate speech and demanded his exit from their territory. A German opposition leader called for his immediate expulsion from Germany, while a renowned German newspaper in its editorial, has this to say about our President.

    He is simply a dumb leader, hailed as the Messiah of Africa’s most populous democracy after winning election in 2015 His agenda of fighting corruption which was given a blessing by the West, especially former colonial master, England is very unpopular in his country as citizens are more concerned about the economic hardship and joblessness to his fight for financial recovery.

    It went ahead to say,… “when it comes to world issues, the former general has little knowledge of events of the moment and hardly articulates. The more you listen to him, the dumber you become”.

    Hard words, but written with some elements of sincerity.

    Germany has a woman as head of state. Germany has mother with eight children as defence minister, (comnander of a powerful millitary force) something unthinkable in most parts of the world especially, Africa. The notion here is that, girls can be everything including being President .

  • Hurray! Dr Alex Egbona is a Year Older

    Hon Chief Dr Alex Egbona, Former Chief of Staff to Ex Governor Liyel Imoke 

    By Richard Romanus 


    Some say he is a Philanthropist, others say, he is an extraordinary politician whereas some others described him as the People’s politician. Which ever name anybody wishes to call and address Hon Chief Dr Alex Egbona, Former Chief of Staff to Ex Governor Liyel Imoke, they are all correct. He deserves and merit them all.

    For me, denying him the House of Representatives ticket for Abi/Yakurr federal Constituency was one of the biggest mistakes made by the then entire People’s Democratic Party leadership. This was a man whose popularity cuts across the length and breadth of the State. The result of that mistake is today stirring us at the face as the person who was rather prefered to him has since gone into oblivion since he was elected for the third time. That is a story for another day.

    By contesting for House of Representatives in the 2015 General elections, he showed he was not one of those politicians who will deliberately rock the boat in order to make a political statement. Those familiar with the job description of a Chief of Staff be it to a President or a Governor, will agree with me that,it is a position that can best be described as the power house of any administration courtesy of the enormous resources and information always at his disposal especially in Nigeria.

    This clearly explains why, in Nigeria, at the end of a Governor’s tenure, those always at the poll position to succeed them are their Chief of Staffs. In Abia, Senator Theodore Orji was Orji Uzor Kalu’s Chief of Staff, In Lagos, Babatunde Raji Fashola was Asiwaju Armed Tinubu Chief of Staff, it is almost the same scenerio in Rivers between Nyesom Wike and Rotimi Amaechi. In other cases, they are usually settled with other very juicy elective or Appointive positions often times, Senatorial tickets or ministerial slots.

    It was however surprising to see Dr Egbona contesting for the federa house seat almost the same time his colleague in Niger State in the person of Umar Nasko was already been position by his boss, Ex Governor Babangida Aliyu to succeed him. But for the APC tsunami that blew across the country,38 years old Nasko would have been the Governor of Niger state whereas in Cross River, His colleague is begging for Rep ticket. Only a man like Alex Egbona can afford to reduce himself to that level.

    It was from him, I saw true loyalty and what it means to be loyal. Not many people would have been loyal to Governor Liyel Imoke the way Alex Egbona did during his over two months medical treatment abroad. For some people, it could have been a major opportunity for them to cause a major upset in then administration towards advancing their political aspirations but for him (Egbona), it was a test of loyalty and true friendship, a test he was able to withstand to the very end. Respect!

    In Ekwurekwu where he hails from, this academic Doctor is like a demigod. I remember witnessing his 50th birthday in his home town some time ago. It was testimonies upon testimonies by the villagers who trooped in, in their numbers to celebrate their illustrious son. It was even the day, physically challenge people of Abi/Yakurr came together to decorate him as the most friendly politician/public figure to the Physically Challenge people in the State. Dr Egbona would have chosen to celebrate his 50th birthday with the high and mighty but for him, it is the People’s first.

    Till date,the story of how he made people who never dreamt to be car owners to be car owners overnight while others were given good sums of money in Governors office during his last days in office, remains fresh amongst staff of Governors office. Chief as he was then called, does not have to know you before benefiting from him. He remains one man that served under the Liyel Imoke administration that I still hear people sing his praises. No wonder, do many people are if the view that, the position of Cross River State Chief of Staff died with his exit.

    As he marks his birth day today, I am pleased to join his family, friends most especially, the political caterpillar himself, Ntufam Sandy Onoh and other well wishers, to wish him a happy birthday. For me, this is to show him that, for eight good years, I have been keeping track of him, I admire his style, person and politics and it is my prayers that, God favours him with more illustrious years in his noble mission of transforming lives and putting smiles on faces…

  • Inok Solomon on Vena Ikem: I am not an Evangelist of Old School Politics

    Inok Solomon, Special Assistant at Cross River State Government House 
    By Inok Solomon 

    Vena Ikem, your attempt to make my hope and faith in God stupid, with your ridiculous comment on my post, exposes your singular wish to preserve the past rather than the hope of creating the future. The same attitude that dominates the minds of those who control the setting foundations of our present collapsing systems. Today, those with such a mind-set are battling with the state progress and worst still, polluting today’s generation minds and killing their future.

    Time to separate Politics of Vena Ikem, from who I am and what I want, desire and have faith to build for myself and my future generation. To do this, I need to x-ray future promises based on the antecedent of the makers of these promises. All are making promises based on the wishes to preserve the past rather than the hope of creating the future.

    Why is this so? Simple, comparing the Superhighway, Deep Seaport, Garment Factory, Rice City, Calapharm and lots more; dreams and ideas they shout by day as unattainable, with their Promises and what in the past, these doubters had on ground, that they fight so hard to preserve. On this account, I came to a realisation that anyone, be a leader or follower, who hold so strong to the past by fighting all the good of the present, is a future growth killer. Vena Ikem will rather support haphazard non sustainable projects against projects of ‘Deep Vision.’ Why?

    Because these haphazard projects, will put more money in their pockets, and what will the government of the day say when they look at themselves as Political Bulldozers? All our Rural Roads contracts awarded to our own brothers and sisters, get damaged before commissioning date, yet the contractors build mansions and have no one living in them, and call them Capital Gains. Highest investments they venture into are Hotels that see no light after they get out of political front lines.

    Dr. Clement Isong in 1994 stated, “Intractable economic and political problems have conspired to whittle down our national self-confidence and hopes for which we need the reassurance that would kindle our optimism and dream about a better future. So that we would be able to persevere and ride over the storms that buffeted our ship of state and imperilled even our collective existence…”

    What then does Vena Ikem hold in his promises and argument for feeling so good about 9th December, 2016? Simple, leadership that will put an end to all the developmental projects that will turn around the economy, create enabling environment for wealth creation and make the old system obsolete.


    Vena Ikem, instead of following every one of your Information Age children to still do things in accord with the Industrial Age, why not allow us add flesh to the Skeleton you have left of our state? At least you took part in building the Skeleton but the rules of building the Flesh seem different from that of the Skeleton and you are only forcing rules that matters not to us today.

  • Don’t tell me to live below my means: when you keep me from exploiting my riches to the full


    By Inok Solomon 


    The worst financial fairy tale in the old and modern times, is the concept, “Live below your means.” Economist will say, “The end justify the means.” How justified will the end be when the means are exploited below expectation of a person? Parents will say to their children, “Go to school and get a good job.” “Work hard and save.” For what reasons? To live below your means?

    I think these words are dreams killers, mental imprisonment and complete derivatives of poverty. It has become a part of us, eating deeper into our mental consciousness and setting limitations and doubts in our personal abilities.

    By the way, who enjoys living below their means? Who enjoys poverty and self-imposed recession? Is it a fact that most people don’t want to live a full, rich, and abundant life? Life of infinite progress and plenty?

    Have you ever run a race, or worked at utmost capacity for a protracted period, or swum a great distance? Remember how, soon after starting, you began to feel tired? Remember how, before you had gone any great distance, you thought you had reached your limit?

    But remember, too, how, when you kept going, you got your second wind, your tiredness vanished, your muscles throbbed with energy, you felt literally charged with speed and endurance? Then you win and determine your world according to your desires. You control that achievement with all the greatness attached to it. At that point you become greater than all, both the rich and poor identify with you and desire you.

    Stored in every human being are great reserves of energy of which the average individual knows nothing but rather run under the pretense of “Living below ones means.”

    These words keep many people financially poor, emotionally empty, and spiritually neutral. One author said, “If you look into the deeper meaning of these words, you can come up with multiple meanings, such as “Don’t desire the finer things of life,” or, “You can’t have what you want.” This creates an atmosphere of Hatred, Jealousy, Envy, Covetousness and War.

    It is said, “Take away a man’s dreams and you take away his life.” You may never reach the stars, but they will guide you on your path through life.

    Cross Riverians, Ayade dreams are truly designed to take us to the stars, and no Cross Riverians will be forced again to live within the concept of “Living Below their means.” We will create wealth and determine the direction of wealth in our Ideas. Never again will we keep forcing our young generations to live below their means and kill their abilities to exploit and expand and create instead of waiting to be given.

    Governor Ayade till the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Governor Ayade Rescuing the Lost Generations with Industrialize Cross River Policies

    Who are the lost Generations? In the world over, there is a generation of young people known as the lost generation. These are the College, Trade, and University graduates who cannot find jobs or jobs that utilise their level of education. Many keep talking of too much words and less actions, but, “words are the Palm Oil in which growth is eaten.”

    It is stated that, more than income, these lost generation are losing crucial real-life work experience. One writer said, without real-life work experience in their 20s and 30s, their earning power and income in later years will suffer, which is why they are often called the lost generation.

    It is a generation of dependants at 40. Boomerang children. Children who leave home to schools, only to return home to live with mom and dad. Making many moms and dads, the Providing Generation. Working and training children all through their service years to retirement years.

    Our information Age is getting those in power more confused, wanting to keep grip of their failed attempts to provide solutions, they refuse to let go attitudes of the old failed systems. They forget that information Age is the Judgement Day Era. Information Age is causing those in power to lose power. Desperate people in power are doing desperate things to hold on to their illusion of power.

    Their major weapon of mass destruction is ‘impoverishing the young generation’ keeping them lost and blind to mean of wealth creations. Oppressing them with poverty and keeping them struggling among themselves to see the light of day. One space of job already given out to their relatives will be advertised for 1,000,000 youths. At the end they use jobs seekers as means of personal Cash Flow.

    Cross Riverians, History is the front stage of the future, a man of no past antecedents will never leave antecedents for any generation.

    The Magical Change Unseen by the Obsolete Minds, “Technology.”

    Who are the lost Generations? In the world over, there is a generation of young people known as the lost generation. These are the College, Trade, and University graduates who cannot find jobs or jobs that utilize their level of education. Many keep talking of too much words and less actions, but, “words are the Palm Oil in which growth is eaten.” Only after closing our eyes for a while, and then looking up again, do we notice the change.”

    One narrator said, “His message was that soon millions of people would be out of work. They would be put out of work by technology and inventions that operated way outside their vision.

    Today, as he said, “You cannot get out of the way of things you cannot see moving towards you.”

    There is no doubt, that we all are stricken down today, not by the Politics we all can see playing around us, but by the Economic hidden growth factors that we could not see. But Governor Ayade is making them visible by day.

    Every condition, every experience of life is the result of our mental attitude. We can do only what we think we can do. We can be only what we think we can be. We can have only what we think we can have. What we do, what we are, what we have, all depend upon what we think. We can never express anything that we do not first have in mind.

    The secret of all power, all success, all riches, is in first thinking powerful thoughts, successful thoughts, and thoughts of wealth, of supply. We must build them in our own mind first.

    This is the only Key to rescuing our Lost Generation and Governor Ayade is setting the stage through His Industrialization Policies of the State. Knowing very well that lofty dreams makes the dreamer just as lofty.

    Our rescue ticket is to key into the Ayade programs. Take advantage of the many Industrial Invisible factors becoming visible by day. The obsolete generation that has kept us lost for a long time will keep struggling to preach the obsolete message of old school politics, but that is too old to have a place.
