Boko Haram Now speak French

In my own very opinion... I can say Boko Haram Vs Nigerian Govt have been the most ridiculous battle ever fought... It is either they kill shekau today and he ressurects tomorrow or they tell us they've wiped out Boko Haram and the next minute you hear of a bomb blast sponsored by them.. Now they said they are tired of fighting, shey who don tire to fight na to drink water rest.

And to think of the fact that our own president travelled to France to seek assistance on Negotiating with Boko Haram will give every right thinking Nigerian a second thought, do they speak french? I use to think they speak Hausa how come the president didn't negotiate with them himself since that is his primary language or rather go to any top Islamic Arab speaking country to ask for help but he did france instead..
Well na him sabi

And from what I heard in the News the other day our own Army said they have cleared the famous Sambisa Forest and yet none of the said Chibok girls were found not even a single girl.. Or is it that they have married out the girls or what but how can they be that heartless to marry them out without their parents consent who will collect the bride price kwanu... 

Let me stop here abeg, I can't tell who is who these days.. Before someone erm.... I didn't say anything sha

Saraki's False Asset Declaration Saga

It was a nice idea having public office holders declare their assets publicly at least if not for any other reason just for transparency sake..

After the President and Vice President publicly declared their's I thought very much that the Senate President should be the next in line and I wasn't wrong about that, however on a second thought he shouldn't have, not because I think he was a corrupt governor but... actually I have no reason why I said so other than the former

Just after he felt he was being upright and went public with his wealth he was invited by the Code of Conduct Bureau for FALSE DECLARATION of ASSET (had to put that in caps so you know how serious it was)... Now one may ask if he doesn't know exactly what he's worth or because he has more than he can account for he couldn't really recall all

In my humble opinion which he wouldn't have listened to by the way I think he would have just like Nyesom Wike claim to have declared his asset privately to the authorities involved or rather pretend like he didn't know about asset declaration and just continue doing his business like every other Nigerian

Now I heard they want to arrest him for embezzlement of public funds as a state governor... If he had known he wouldn't have rushed into being the senate president at least nobody will be compelling him to declare any asset or he wouldn't have out of eye service go and declare his asset...

I'll just stop writing and wait for the next busy body politician who wouldn't check his means of wealth acquisition before going to declare his asset publicly or privately as some claims...

How Free is Free Education in Nigeria

I think the idea of providing education free of charge to your subordinates is really interesting, it shows a certain level of concern for development and progress but making people pay for free education is what I'm yet to understand..

I mean nothing is wrong if you do pay their tuition fees and allow them buy uniforms and learning materials like books and pen.. Though some governors have gone the extra mile to provide uniforms and books which made education look totally free in their states.. And to add to all, they have made the school buildings worth a learning environment...

My concern how ever is the fact that despite the fact that some governors after announcing free education as part of the dividends of democracy to their subjects will still ask the state ministry of education to collect levy from the students as money for development.. which brings me to the question "what is the money allocated to the state for education is meant for if not development"

I did attend a public school so I know the kind of development they get their.. You levy them money for library fee and there is no building that is labeled as a library not to talk of having exercise books with hand written notes for them to read, I wouldn't want to talk about science Laboratory cause there might be one but since I wasn't a science student I might not have noticed any for lack of interest...

One time I heard a caller on radio telling the presenter they were asked to pay the sum of five thousand naira for school Identity Card.. Now that is extortion from a principal who thinks the government is corrupt because he is not a politician yet... Well that is Nigeria for you

All I'm trying to say is that they should stop telling us about free education if they will still ask them to pay levy... On my own part when they make campaign promises they should tell us "we will give you free education with development levies" then we know what to expect from them and not them surprising us with development levies when they are in power..

I think I've said my piece and I sure can go take a piss where no one will ask me to pay any levy..

Wike's Private Declaration of Assets

Since the President and Vice President declared their assets publicly I have been hoping to see who will follow suite but quite unfortunate the governors are all bad followers...

It would have been easy to say we will eradicate corruption in Nigeria if we know how much money you have before assuming office, how much is your salary and other allowances, how much is the allocation you get and how much you will be worth after your term as a public service holder (I probably have said how much a lot)...

But funny enough everyone occupying public office is shying away from the topic, probably they've made plans to leave the office far richer than they came in by amassing wealth from public funds or some who have been public office holders before now may not be able to explain their investments and how it came about (its just me thinking sha)

My thought though could not be mistaken if the present governor of Rivers State have told the public that he has declared his assets privately, well I wouldn't say he has plans to loot public funds but if we can recall the amount of money he spent convincing people that he is the better candidate for the position then we can't just blame him for trying to recover his money back before he starts going public about his wealth.

But who wouldn't? If the Nigerian political system demands you to have a lot of money before you can vie for any top public office I mean spend a lot of money rather.. I don't think the declaration of assets publicly is necessary, I mean what if the president has more than two mud houses and he told us he has just two or the vice president is not as rich as he claimed to be but he needed to make the president look poor..

You see Mr. Wike sorry I beg your pardon Chief Barr. Wike or daddy Wiks as we call him made something clear that the declaration of assets publicly is not important as long as you can give your people the dividends of democracy and good governance, meaning no matter how much of public funds you steal as long as you can be able to deliver to your people you can be pardoned..

I just have said a lot on this and I haven't even declared mine but who cares if I have just one blackberry hand set that keeps me happy, no mud house any where, no land anywhere in Port harcourt at least me I'm sure of my own (if the president doesn't know where his land in port harcourt is) and uhm... Nothing further to add.

is Prince Charles happy?

#MidweekSatire
Today in Britain Queen Elizabeth the 2nd is been celebrated as british longest serving monarch whereby making her the oldest to have ever sat on that seat which of course is worth celebrating but my question here is, is Prince Charles also celebrating?

She I mean Queen Elizabeth the 2nd have been ruling since 1952 till today I'm writing this piece..That was way before I was born and I'm sure I haven't lived up to half the years she have ruled either.. Since Prince Charles is the heir to the throne and he is still hoping on becoming the King of England someday well I can say that is a very long hope..

I'm sure somewhere in his heart he is praying that it gets to him real quick.. I'm not saying that he is praying for her to die, I mean who will pray for the queen to die ok I can't say that for sure but I can only reason with Charles and Williams that the quicker she thinks about stepping down the faster it will be for Prince George who is fourth in line.

Meanwhile I think Mohammadu Buhari might be Nigeria's Oldest serving president I meant by age not years of ruling though.. Since there was a lot of controversy about how old he might be during the elections.. Wouldn't it be nice for Nigeria to have a president as old as the queen.. And how come Robert Mugabe is not been mentioned along with the queen.. *drops mic* or pen whatever

Illiterate

He picked up a book
Flipping through the pages as he perused
His eyes hitting every word with an unfamiliar stare
The more he tries to understand, the harder it gets like a fat lady going up the stairs
It was this same ABC he was taught as a boy
That every child could relate to and play with like a toy
He has never read through a single a sentence
And every time it gets to him reading in front of the class he gets tensed
Everyone says its as easy as it came
But while others are getting a plus he gets the cane
He is sure he would do better with craft
Probably he would be great at creative art

But if he can't read and write the society wont appreciate
Cause they'll still think him an illiterate

Akpabio don't trust Nigerian doctors

Some of you will say it is callous of me to take a swipe at a sick man or dying man whatever the case may seem to be..
But on careful thought let's look at another failed case of heroism in the Nigerian political hemisphere where a man who might have been hailed with so much achievement not just of Nigerian standard but world class standard will avoid his own establishment and fly overseas to seek help for the same reason he built it..

Senator Godswill Akpabio the former governor of Akwa-ibom state who was reported to have an auto crash early this week after beating traffic and colliding with an US embassy vehicle (let's skip the part of lawlessness and focus on something more important)...

News coming in later is that he is been flown overseas (actually UK) for medical treatment from the hospital he was previously admitted in at Abuja. Now before he left office as the governor of Akwa-ibom he commissioned a 30 billion Naira specialist world class standard hospital with ultra-modern medical facilities, at least that was what he told us...

My own now is that he left the same hospital and he is going abroad to UK or is it that the hospital don't have specialist who treats accident victims or he doesn't trust the medical personnel well enough to receive treatment from them?.. Or maybe he like other politicians enjoy flying in planes and going overseas just to chill away from all the Nigerian drama and madness

I am not disputing the fact that it is world standard just like the stadium he built that has only hosted one football match which the national team lost by the way and the NFF has been avoiding for reasons best known to them.. Well if the man who built it can not trust it well enough to use it who am I to go there for medical treatment..

Next time someone I know falls sick I'll just advice them to go to the UK for medical treatment and leave all this big hotels... I mean hospitals built by government in the name of projects..

...Erm I think I should stop writing here and help look for Buhari's land in port harcourt maybe he'll build more mud houses on them.
