Buhari, Please Get Down to Work; Enough of Excuses

President Muhammadu Buhari

When United States President Barack Obama assumed duty for his first term, the economy of the country was in a mess. The banking and mortgage sectors were crumbling. Some banks were even failing. Obama did not go about making noise. He simply got down to work. Within a matter of months, he impacted positively on these sectors and many more. This is what I was expecting from President Muhammadu Buhari. Unfortunately, it has not been the case.

N500 note

1. It happened some time ago but . I was in an audience listening to a motivational speaker. The speaker got out his wallet & pulled out a 500 Naira note. Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this 500 naira note?"

Early October. I met Adebimpe on facebook as a mutual friend to one of my friends.

Adebimpe is a student of uniport so she fully based in PHC.

''Why This Man Is Getting A Divorce in 2015. - by Badero Olusola

Jarrid is a husband, pastor, author, and blogger. Recently, he wrote a shocking public confession on his blog - after I saw it, I admit I have to agree. He writes:

Social Media

I told a friend recently that happenings on Facebook is a reflection of our real lives' craze. Everyday we talk, discuss, expose, gossip and rejoice about everything that is happening to us. Sometimes we confide in close friends, relatives or co workers. Things we discuss in our close circles are not different from what we are currently shares on the social media.

Professor Wole Soyinka

Professor Wole Soyinka was quoted saying his latest book is the “nastiest” that he has written so far. InterInventions: Between Defective Memory and the Public Lie- A Personal Odyssey in The Republic of Liars (Ibadan: Bookcraft, 2015, 136pp) is quite close to being just that. But who knows if an even nastier book may follow as Soyinka embarks on the task of exposing lies in our Republic as he has promised that InterInventions, a follow up to Interventions series (I-IV) will be dedicated solely to the dismantling of lies in the public space: malicious and non-malicious lies, lies told, lies magnified, lies fraudulent, murderous lies, accidental lies, uttered from depraved minds whose sole intention is to create burdens for their victims, malign, impugn and lower the other so they can be raised or their stomachs can be nourished at other’s expense.

When we think of the wealthiest people in the world, we most often think of the Waltons (of Wal-Mart fame), Warren Buffett, or Bill Gates. However, if you go a bit further back in history, you’ll discover that the wealth of the kings, queens, and rulers of yesteryear trumps the bank accounts of most modern day millionaires and even billionaires by a mile.

And whether you realize it or not, your facial hair also says a lot about you.

Buhari

MY people have a saying which I will tell in my “inner” Igbo dialect and then translate. We say:“leruo enya akala nari zuru ife”. When you visit someone and you are about to depart, he will usually tell you: “fare well” or “take care” or “be careful as you go”. In some cases, a departing visitor also expects a parting gift, especially if the gift was the original reason for the visit.

Dear Comrade Governor,

Niger Delta Youths: We Don't Want Resource Control, We Want Biafra

Oh! my fellow youths of South south and South East, why the media attack on each other because of Biafra? Have you forgotten that this is exactly what the greedy parasites and traitors want? We don’t need to fight ourselves because, whether we like it or not one day we will surely be called BIAFRANS! Let me address the South South wing because I am a proud son of the South South. It is laughable that we the people of South South keep saying that we are not happy with the way the Hausa/ Fulanis are treating us, but still we are not Biafrans.
