  • Lassa Fever, Bird Flu, Budget Missing Flu; What a country is Nigeria?

    Bird Flu

    We are living in the world of change, a country of supra change. The change from good to bad, and bad to worst. Yet, our government still preaching about change, the worst since 1960 independence.

    Earlier on today, the Plateau state government announced a fresh outbreak of Avian Influenza popularly known as Bird flu in the state. In a statement released by the state’s Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Doris Bitrus today January 15th, the state government said six farms have been affected:

    “Six farms have been confirmed positive of the disease; the farms host a total of 10,000 birds,” the statement said” 

    No where to hide, no place to seek refuge, no one to rely on, just you and yourself, or with your friends and family if you have any.


    Lassa Fever

    Last year was Ebola virus and now Lassa fever which has already taken lives in several parts of the country. No control measures, no immunity, no salvation, things are getting worse everyday. Even the old eradicated diseases are still threatening Nigerians, we are just helpless, hopeless because our selfish politicians had made it to be so.

    Missing 2016 Budget
    Now all eyes, ears and Minds are on the 2016 Nigeria Budget, the budget which they said is worst than any other since the beginning of time. Diverting the minds of the nations why the people are suffering, dying of disease and starvation. When will Nigeria wake up, when will Nigerians realized a country is not supposed to be ruled by a political party. 
    Nigeria still have a long way to go, if and only if we’ll live till den.

  • Hon. Jarigbe Agom Shares Gifts Including Money To All The 24 Wards In His Constituency

    But, Wait, What Manner Of Man Is Jarigbe Agom?

    Just yesterday, he promised to be home to Celebrate with his people. Many doubted as no one saw him all through yesterday &  yesternight.

    Prior to his arrival, he made available (by proxy)  Cash gifts to all 24 wards in his Constituency, he also distributed bags of rice to his people, as a way of celebrating with them.

    Hon. Jarigbe ensured the gifts were given to those who really needed it, he didn’t consult with any Party/ Ward leaders (as usually done by  some past/present office holders) before sharing the gifts. He instructed that the gifts be shared fairly and noted that the less privileges are his priorities.

    Early this morning, Hon. Jarigbe made himself available to his people, scores of people rallied around him, and in his usual magnanimity, he gave cash gifts to all &  sundry.

    I stand to be corrected, but so far, I can confidently say Hon. Jarigbe is the Only Elected public Office holder, who thought it necessary to come back home, to Celebrate with his people. He didn’t run from his people because they are his fulcrum.

    Hon. Jarigbe  has also thought it wise to be available during the New Year Celebrations. He reassures his constituents that he runs an open door office. Everyone, no matter how irrelevant you think you are, Hon. Jarigbe  sees you as most relevant, and is looking forward to meeting you.

    Once again, Merry Christmas To You All &  An Amazing 2016.
