In 1982,President Shagari officially initiated the Mambila Power project.The project aimed to supply the nation with 2,600MW of electricity.For over four decades,the project has been stalled by rabid corruption.Consultants,Contractors,Politicians and Ministers of power and Justices used Mambila to power themselves.
Africa’s future must be shaped by Africans, for Africans.
And the world must stand with Africa as it strives to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals & build inclusive prosperity.
My remarks to the Global Africa Business Initiative: https://t.co/EzTr2oVQ44
The ruling party swept the bye elections conducted this weekend in the four states of the federation.That is one difference between cyber space politics and real politics.The opposition can either dismiss it or learn some lessons from it.They want to play with Spain in January,they have started losing to Lesotho.
You must have “a strong liver” to Survive the Nigerian stock market issues.The stock brokers have “sweet mouth”. They will make you believe in magic until you pump in your money. when you give them N5M,you can be getting an alert (dividend) of N50k after a long time;if you complain,they will tell you to wait until “the market rises”,and remind you “it’s a LONG TIME investment.Everything looks like the gambling machine.If you have money to invest,please set up a small factory.
For those of us who have experienced prolonged detention in a crowded cell, we know the cruelty of the dungeon - the darkness, the asphyxiation, the sweat, the pungent odour, and the tears.
When the heat becomes unbearable, one can only use a spoon or a plate to bang on the wall for some oxygen. If they refuse to open up for a temporary breeze of fresh air, blood can ooze from the nostrils, and then one can only shout and give up.
A congested cell is hell on earth. It is a place where bringing your nose close to the window to breathe is a rare privilege reserved for the strong.
I can feel what happened to the Niger minors. Those who are directly or indirectly involved in this must face the full wrath of the law for the rest of their lives.
If any African leader sacks the CNN and other international media outlets from his presidential palace,the Western Media and International Human Rights groups would have called and categorized him as “a cowardly dictator,fearful and allergic to free press and free speech”. Trump did it with ease.
As the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the 33 minors in Civil Defence custody in Niger State gets clearer,all the officers and men involved in their arrests and detention must be apprehended and brought to justice.Without doubt,the deceased were detained in the most inhospitable and inhumane conditions.This act of mass murder must not be treated lightly by the Government.
I couldn’t finish watching the viral video of the corpses of minors in Niger State.Whatever they are alleged of,the circumstances surrounding their deaths is condemnable and morally unacceptable.There should be comprehensive and transparent investigation,and those in whose custody the minors tragically died,must be held https://t.co/WDjVo4ULye condolences to their parents.May their souls rest in peace.
The 2027 political contest should be between Tinubu,Peter Obi,Sowore,Makinde,Adebayo,Duke and other Southern Candidates.The South should complete its eight years.Its not constitutional but it’s equitable.We should not bury our heads in the sand and deny the realities and complexities of our history.The North should have an unchallengeable right in 2031.Those who say there shouldn’t be respect for the principle of Rotation of power in 2027,should know that it WILL NOT be respected in 2031.
