HE IS NO MORE..... One of the "DUMBEST"  defense I've read so far since the BBC Hausa dialect broadcast saga of President Buhari was an unimpressive and lazy write up titled : THE STORM IN A TEA CUP. by: Abubakar Widi-Jalo. I'm just imagining how these same set of people making all these cerebrally lopsided defense for this broadcast achaicry, will react if an Ibo president should address the nation,  given the same blurry template as we currently have in the country, in Igbo dialect.. in fact, the resultant effect should be better imagined than actually experienced. Some people are just unpatriotically crude and deliberately unrefined on very sensitive important national issues. Let us agree that senility is begining to set in on the part of the ailing septuagenarian,  just for the sake of absolving the president in this seeming owl-cry by some unscrupulous opportunistic  and unrepentant sycophants around the president. It is important we all let them know that...

The social media is awashed with the news of the 39 year old new French president and I've read a whole lots of rantings from the ever docile, easy wealth and comfort seeking lazy young Nigerians about not being allowed to become leaders in their own country.... Can someone tell our Nigerian social media warriors that leadership positions are not thrown at anyone, leadership is all about conception of noble, lofty and life changing dreams and giving all it takes to achieve and actualize such dreams. Can someone tell Nigerian youths that taking up leadership positions goes beyond spending useful time arguing about European football and the huge amount of sign on fees expended on their fellow youths in other parts of the world while they spend their own time talking about how those monies are spent. Can someone let our Nigerian youths realize that political emancipation needs more of our youths getting involved in political activities that will take them out of their phones and ge...

Many friends and associates within and outside the country are fond of teasing me each time they listen to any of my media engagements, especially when the discuss has anything to do with the government, to the extent that whenever I post any notice online about featuring on a media program, some of these friends has a way of telling me to keep their own share of whatever proceeds I receive from the assignment and I also enjoy telling them that ("Ise ilu ni o ") I'm only contributing to the development of the society in my own little ways. Very recently, during a discusion on some of the social media platforms that I belong, some insinuations and accusations were made through some remarks from different respected personalities about a particular interview I granted on the benefits of road road expansion in Ogun State over a year ago, these type of remarks coming from people I've hardly met or known does not really bother or affect me in any way,  simply because my cl...

Deji Ogundimu  published a note. THE 1999 TRANSITION INFECTIONS: The Potency of consciousness The urgency that was accorded the transition of power to the "civilian" in 1999 was not only fraudulent but criminal for various reasons. Having customized the psyche of the majority of the populace, through systematic deprivation, oppression and propaganda, the military had the country in their palms with the primary aim of making the people view whatever they offer as the best for the country. And when Abdulsalam offered to transit the nation to democracy in 1999, rather than ask questions on the sincerity and authenticity of the “transition” we swallowed the bait from the junta hook, line and sinker. The south-west region was in the eye of the storm, in the later days of the military rule in the pre 1999 Nigeria, they were often at the receiving end of the wanton brutality and injustice, so it was not a fluke that the two presidential candidates for the 1999 “general’s selecti...

The stage is now set for the continuation of the sensational Hollywood styled, Nollywood thriller, tittled;  "The Rule of Law" which featured Justice Adeneeyi Ademorlar and other accused judges, produced by EFCC Motion pictures, as written and directed by Hebrahim Mangue. Due to the technical nature and theme of the film, a Proffessor of law also consulted in the production of the masterpiece. With the budget of the film and the amount of hard currencies displayed and mentioned in the film,  you'll all agree with me that this judicial fiction,  is another entirely superficial dimension in film making in Nigeria. The multi billion dollar project is about a sitting civilian president who once came to power as the head of a military junta, by truncating the same democratic process which now brought him to power, over 3 decades ago. His journey to power as a civilian president was hunted by his past as a military dictator, his critics were hell bent on preventing his secon...

The race towards 2019 seems quite hotter and earlier in my homestate, Ogun State. Nigerian youths can still push for a more liberal political structure that can produce Senators and Governors without having to spend billions of naira to get to office, rather than supporting the current statusquo by engaging in campaign of hate and rage to show support for current crops of politicians. Nigerian youths are misplacing their priorities again. I am very confident to say that most of our social media tigers who are either campaigning for one particular candidate or defaming another political figure are doing so purely for their selfish personal interest, none of these Facebook and Twitter foot soldiers is being ideological in his approach or engagements. None of them is telling us how their paymasters are going to do things differently from what or who they're campaigning against, which should form the basis of people's preference and direction for voters sympathy in 2019, it's ...
