ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo – If we expose those in Buhari’s government, they’ll not only go to jail, they’ll go to hell

Posted: 24 Jan 2020 06:30 AM PST

Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo stated that if the entire Buhari Government was investigated for corruption, they would not only go to jail but also to hell.

He made this known via an interview with BBC Yoruba, while comparing former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar who was the Presidential candidate for PDP in the 2019 elections, with President Buhari. He stated that although Atiku is no Messiah, he would have achieved way more than Buhari has if he was given the chance.

In his words;
"What I am saying is that where we are today, our present situation, if you look at those who are there today and our boss, I insist that Atiku will do better than them.

This is not a prophecy. Those in government today, if we expose them, all of them will enter hell; they will not only go to jail. They will go to hell. Whoever that God does not expose his sins to the public is the person whose secret is kept.

I did not say he will behave like Jesus. I did not say he will behave like Prophet Muhammed, but he will do better, in fact twice better than what we have at present."

The ex-President also accused President Buhari of nepotism.

He said;

"Look at what is happening, the person that is leading us says he cannot appoint any other tribes into the posts he considers sensitive because he does not trust them. If he cannot trust my tribe and your tribe what is the benefit? And he still wants my tribe and your tribe to vote for him. So, he can ask us to vote for him but he cannot trust us to be appointed into sensitive positions. What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.

"If you don't trust us, how do you want me to trust you? If you trust me and I misbehave replace me with another person. But if only your maternal and paternal relatives are the only people you can appoint because they are the only people you can trust…

"In Nigeria, where we have tribes numbering about 500, you now said you could not trust some people. That is what we are saying."

Lawyer, Ayo Sogunro, writes – Lagos is not a mega city, it is suffering

Posted: 24 Jan 2020 03:00 AM PST

Humanrights lawyer, Ayo Sogunro, has taken to his social media account to share his opinion about Nigeria's commercial city, Lagos.

Mr. Sogunro opined that Lagos is not a mega city but a place of suffering.

He said this while reflecting on the lifestyle of some Lagos state residents, who have to leave their homes as early as 5am just to get to their places of work for a relatively small pay.

His tweet reads;

"Lagos has to be the only city in Africa where people unwillingly leave home at 5 or 6am daily to get to work within the same city — often for relatively small pay. This is a failure of governance that adds even more hardship to the lives of people. Good rest is important.

I sincerely hope Abuja and other major cities in Nigeria do not end up this way. This is not development, it is not 'mega city'. It is suffering."

Police P.R.O, Dolapo Badmos to sponsor road side mechanics who fixed her car

Posted: 24 Jan 2020 01:30 AM PST

Celebrity Police Officer, Dolapo Badmus has revealed her intention to sponsor her teenage road side mechanic who wowed her with his exceptional service.

According to the police P.R.O, the three boys though uneducated had managed to seek alternative means to fend for themselves and their future by learning a trade and ensuring perfection at it.

Badmus wrote;

"So I pulled up at a vulcanizer workshop to fix my tyre…..I got a shocker when I saw this young lads dotting around my tyre, checking, confirming and reconfirming to each other the state of the tyre!

Even though I was first pessimistic about them having proper skill to fix it but having listened to their conversation I decided to be patient and see what they can offer! I was moved when I saw the dexterity at which they handled the work, moreso every question I put to them was professionally answered, then I needed no further conviction that they surely got their hands on the skill…..

After getting the tyre done I was reassured that I wont have cause to complain about the work done and sincerely I've not had reason to complain! I was not only moved by their commitment to learn the skill, but I was also moved by their dedication to work!

In this era where our younger ones have been programmed to believe there is shortcut to success through internet fraud and illegitimate ways, when I see young ones committed to hardwork, I always doff my hat…..

These ones caught my attention, even though they said their parents wont let them go to school because they have acquired skill (it's not bad though, we can't all have formal education, acquiring skill is another good form of education). I have promised to keep up with them till they are ready for graduation (freedom),

I'm willing (through the support of my good friends) to set them up and ensure they start their own businesses without much hassles. God bless all the young ones out there that understands no other way to success than hardwork…..may they be the reason someone changes from negative ways to positivity!
I have to encourage them by adding more to their dough"
