See how interesting the presidential race for the u.s presidency is all contestants talking about how to end the looming crisis facing the American state and people making choices based on how convinced they are about a candidate...
Wait for 2019 when we will have another bout of election in Nigeria, all you will be hearing is propaganda and blame game on either political parties and we will have over 20 parties that will be confusing us on who to vote for not to talk about sycophants that will not let us hear word don't forget the bribes they will be giving to voters just to get them on their side knowing for a fact that their supposed candidate is not convincingly good enough for the position he is vying for...
Well what's my own. After all this post cannot make our president sit at home and make sure 1 dollar doesn't equals 1000 naira... besides these trips are very beneficial to us after all those countries he is visiting their presidents are too lazy to travel so our president needs to visit them and foster relationships that are better than stabilising our economy...
I rest my case

Ben bruce and the common sense revolution
It is just normal I make common sense on the blog today, please don't get me wrong I am not against the common sense revolution or the Nigerian youth in government but just like our famed twitter senator I'm only trying to make sense out of it all...
Senator Ben Murray Bruce is just like me, point is we are both trying our best to put the government of the day in check, difference is, I only have a small blog with less viewers while he on the other hand runs a media empire where his voice is widely heard, Ok that is a huge difference between us...
I like the idea that he is opening the mind of the common man to see what the government which he is a part of should have done but is not doing and he is using his influence in the media world to get this out there inciting a social media revolution
Now my point is uncle Ben Bruce have been in Nigeria for a long while and I get to know about him when he was the DG of NTA (at least that was when NTA was exciting to watch) all these things he is trying to make common sense about did not begin with this Buhari/ osinbanjo government and they have been there before he became a senator
At least he would have seen these and began his common sense revolution before becoming a senator of the federal republic, I would say it only makes common sense if we have been hearing his social media wailing before now and how much impact these wailings have made on us
This is how Adams oshiomole began his political career from his NLC days and incessant strikes which miraculously have reduced since he left the Nigerian Labour Congress and became a governor the change we could see was a new wife...
We've had a lot of wailing wailers who did not contribute a quota to the society after we gave them the mandate to hold public office and ended up becoming the same problem they've been complaining about
Uncle Ben Bruce should try and understand that if he makes all the common sense on TV and radio and could not put any as a bill to pass in the house of reps then it all becomes a senseless speech which is garnering social media publicity for another campaign
Whether twitter senator or twitter orubebe we all know every nigerian was born selfish and we only pursue a cause for our personal needs and I don't want to believe that all these common sense is a campaign ad for a presidential election in the future
Uncle Ben Bruce aka twitter senator I love your ideologies, I appreciate everything you have opened our eyes to see even now that you are clamouring for youth in government we as the Nigerian youth we deeply appreciate you but before you went for senate you should have asked if any youth is willing to be a senator it won't be bad if you step down for a youth to represent your constituency too
I hope I have made common sense too and one twitter orubebe will not carry my matter for e head like jerry curl, all of us na common sense we dey find..
I am not Ben Murray Bruce but I just want to make common sense

#EFCCGATE ; how broke can nigeria be
I am one person who is finding it really hard to mind my business these days especially when it has to do with the government of the day, but come to think of it democracy being the
government of the people and by the people and for the people... I am one of the governed in a democratic state I think the business of the government is my business so i'll mind it
And today's business is on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, news reaching me from the Attorney general of the federation Mr. Abubakar Malami is that EFCC has been recovering looted funds and so far it's a reasonable amount of money good enough to begin a new country
more than $2tn has been confiscated and recovered’ in the last 12 years by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.”
Like I said anybody who wishes to own a country can do that with such amount judging from the current exchange rate you can own two countries with that...
Ok back to being serious, if we have recovered this amount so far how come the money never reflects on our economy, and why will our president tell us upon resumption of office that we are broke...
You see? There is a lot to how much we can achieve if we have less greed in this country I'm telling you,
Now we are being faced with the budget and allocations from what we are hearing there is a 10 billion naira that is hiding in the education section of the budget, I wonder if the money is shy...
Even after the whole drama and all our education sector is still lagging far behind and we will keep churning out graduate who can not tell there left from right especially when it comes to being practical, ofcourse finding X has helped Mr president to ascend his throne of leadership (what I'm I even writing sef, I mean the office of presidency)
Please EFCC release the $2 trillion to Buhari or better still Dasuki if we can't use it for national growth let us share it as national cake...
I'm hoping we can get #EFCCgate since #dasukigate seems to be closing gradually and #laimuhammedgate doesn't seems like it's opening any time soon, all I'm saying is there should just be a gate...
Well I'm a nigerian who is trying to mind my business, this may not make common sense to you like Ben Bruce but just agree with me anyway #midweeksatire #satiricalposts

The Nigerian Change we've been waiting for
2016 so far have been an interesting year just at the beginning of it...
This post would have come out rather earlier than this but we just have to wait a bit and let the year unfold more of its drama, sorry for the delay and at the same time thanks for the wait...
So much have happened in such a fresh year that you may one to think it's been planned from the previous year, while the Dasuki gate was still open Olisa metuh walked right through giving the story a new plot and scheme for onlookers like us and from the bail option giving to Mr Metuh you can tell that the FG is out for serious business, they are not just in a bid to recover money but also to make profit..
And from what it seems like now I think the famous Radio Biafra has voluntarily shut down on its own with their leader or director in custody no one could fit in properly to the position of insulting the federal government or other
Nigerians for no sane reason.. well until his release let our
ears enjoy peace and a little sanity
And just when we thought Kogi state has gone out of limelight they returned yesterday as the first Nigerian state to swear in a governor without a deputy, clearly enough the said deputy governor has opted out of the position with claims that after the party flag bearer died while contesting for the seat of governor he the then running mate was supposed to be the party next candidate but his party on the other hand felt he was only good enough as an assistant and not a front man rather they choose someone else instead for
replacement and retained him as deputy..
So on the swearing date he claimed he did not get an invite well who would have thought of inviting a man to his own inauguration, i'll blame them for forgetting to send him an invite though
Moving on to changing a few things around here what a way the federal government would have ushered us into the new year than giving us the much needed change, GEJ did not do bad with the 10 naira change he gave us during his tenure from the price of petrol and now the real change agents are
making sure we leave every petrol station with 50 kobo change.. the reduction of the price of petrol from 87 naira to 86 naira 50 kobo is so much needed that Nigerians forgot to say thank you to Mr. President for his overwhelming kind gesture
In trying to make common sense I have been trying so hard so how much of it I could make from the production of pencils in a society that prints and gadgets are taking over, to some few Nigerians it's like a welcome development at least we can boast of producing something but why not
think about something that can help Grow the society instead of what is going out of style I see how backward we are trying to catch up with the rest of the world
If there is anything that we must not forget it's the Nigerian budget that got missing from the Senate like a primary school child whose note got stolen from his school bag, although we cannot tell which party is to be blamed for it but it's rather ridiculous to hear we couldn't find our budget, though on the hand I was less surprised I mean if we could be able to loose over 200 girls for more than a year now is it just a mere paper (although with the dependency of Nigerians on it) that we can't loss?
And finally rivers state is rejoicing over the victory of Gov. Wike aka daddy wiks, I'm happy too but not for him at least life will return to normal in rivers state, but daddy wiks should be very careful before Lai muhammad will allege that he used rivers money to set up WIKEPEDIA
My pencil is almost finished let me stop now and wait till they'll produce the first pencil in Nigeria and for the taking its just my satirical mind speaking this is not my real face or post or whatever

Very Merry Christmas
From the chimney of your heart
I come with my pen-deer like claus santa
Bringing you this little gift of smile
Cause you've been a good friend through this mile
I have to wait till the night is silent
And the stars are brightly shinning
So I can write you this poem as...
I wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
I come with my pen-deer like claus santa

The Government is Irresponsible
Finally we have come to the last Saturday of the year 2015, which by the way doesn't sound like a good news to a lot of single women who probably have gotten prophecies that the year will not end without them being in their husband's house well unfortunately for some of them we can not declare the year inconclusive and have a rerun...
But of all things I think 2015 was an interesting year especially in the Nigerian political scene. Today i just want recall some of the ridiculous moments. I'll start with the late Abubakar Audu of blessed memory well his case though tragic but was funny at the same (this is what theatre art practitioners call tragicomedy). Don't go judging me on this one you should at least analyse the situation with me, a man who is close to becoming the governor of his state die just few hours before the final result could be announced (I call this one DOA "death on arrival").
It would have ended there but his supposed deputy governor refused to rerun as a deputy governor to who ever was to be chosen by the political party as replacement, which to me was rather ironic choosing to the fact that he has agreed on first hand to be a deputy governor so why decline now, well na e sabi
Next was the case of Mr president appointing himself as petroleum minister and there was a heavy fuel scarcity over the nation well if that was the so much preached change we were expecting then I think we got it wrong... and talking about change I think the bus drivers and conductors will not agree with them judging by the lack of change for passengers who travel with them...
Meanwhile, why we were busy crying about fuel scarcity they opened Dasuki's gate revealing a list of names that benefited from a certain money released on security bill from the past government.. it was quite an interesting list though with names of high ranking government officials and business men, including people who were tipped for services rendered, it was a huge amount of money though and the way it went round you could bet that was the national cake we've so much heard about since we were little.. well for all I could say about this case is that Dasuki is such a snitch I mean who would mention everybody's name just to save his neck... I am more careful about who I collect money from these days before someone Dasuki on me...
Finally before I sign out for the year I just want to say thank you to every one who has been reading my posts.. you are the main reason I write every Saturday and midweek maybe not every Saturday but at least every time I write..
And I think we have an irresponsible government, please don't get me wrong the government has never claimed responsibility on anything that has happened in this country rather they said Jonathan is responsible if you think I'm lying ask Lai Muhammed
I think I need to stop here before I run out of ink and this one our law makers now know how to use social media after spending tax payers money on learning how to now they want to lock us up for talking about the government...
I think I've said too much let me give peace a chance and #prayfornigeria to get better and catch you on the flip side of 2016 with more satirical post

Buhari's Fund Raising Agenda
After a very long break I'm taking my time out to disturb your little peace. It is no longer news that Nigeria as a nation is very broke, I mean can't pay salary broke in fact state governors are working on cutting down minimum wage from eighteen thousand naira to only God knows what (as if 18,000 is not meagre enough), just to keep up with the salary scheme..
But from the look of things I think the Federal Government is seriously working on stabilising the economy at least if not making it better than it was, I guess this will explain all the foreign trips that the president cum petroleum minister and (foreign affairs minister) had to put that in bracket cause it's not his real office but I think on the other hand his foreign trips are yielding fruits at least Lai Muhammad cannot lie about that one..
From what I've noticed he has developed a fund raising technique which besides fighting corruption and retrieving looted funds from corrupt office holders is imposing fines indirectly, MTN nigeria was the first victim and then they brought the anti social media bill which is still undergoing scrutiny in the Senate which if passed the penalty is two million naira fine or two years in prison what a fine strategy of making money for the government....
Now my recent concern is the announcement made by the minister if works and power Babatunde Fashola informing us that the toll gate which was long gone and forgotten will be doing a come back like a fugitive on exile that is due to return, and I guess they are expecting us Nigerians to embrace it with open arms, I think that is a very good development taking us to the future where every country in the world is standing right now....
Me what is my own sef, I don't even have a car and I so love the future Nigeria is creating for us, come to think of it FG will not pay us that five thousand naira at least we would have used it to buy data and post on social media maybe by now they would have made their first two million and how would they have gotten any culprit since they claim they don't have our datas...
Let me stop before they come and arrest me for slander and my ink is almost finished Ok bye... will be back with more satire.
