Oshiomole, Blame It On The Rainfall

Been a while I wrote anything so ridiculous, been on a personal break and busy with a whole lot of other things but right now I'm breaking the silence like Adelle..
Ok enough of me nothing ridiculous has happened to me but Oshiomole on the other helped me broke my silence ...

I have admired this man in the Pro NLC days. All the activism and fight for the rights of the common man or should I say he has been campaigning for the post of the Governor and he has been using the NLC as a good channel to proclaim his course.. Which he won by the way

Well the major reason why he is visiting the blog today was because of what I heard him say, that rain has been the major reason why he hasn't done much in terms of infrastructure in Edo State for the past 7 years..

I know Lucky Igbenedion wasn't the best of Governor but at least he didn't blame the rain or too much sunshine for his lack of performance as a governor, and to think of it there is constant supply of rain here in Rivers State yet even the recently self elected Governor.(i.e in the context of APC and Dakuku Peterside) has done a lot of work than the activist cum Politician Oshiomole can actually boast of...

Well I'm forced to believe him on that judging with the fact that the rains did not stop him from getting a new and beautiful wife, which has helped him to bring alive the epic disney story "Beauty and the Beast" or is that the princess and frog? I was thinking it was Shrek and Princess Fiona, whatever. Maybe anytime it rains he remembers he has a new wife he can't leave alone

Back to serious issues, I guess since he inherited an ancient town maybe he is trying to preserve the original nature of the Ancient city of Benin, this is a better excuse only if he has thought of it first,

In the mean time, can someone help tell the minister of petroleum that we are suffering here, bus fare has gone up and people are trekking to save some distance..
And don't forget to #PrayforNigeria as you are #PrayingForParis cause this is as serious as any terrorist attack

I'm done... let me drop my pen and put on my safari khaki suit as I hope rains will not stop you from this

Lai Muhammed's idea of winning a war

I've been trying to block out all ridiculousness for some time now but its really difficult to do so... I mean with the IPOB protest in Rivers State that has APC and PDP accusing themselves of plotting an unrest in the State..

The ministerial screening with Fashola denying signing a cheque and Amaechi insisting that he hates corruption and the FG giving the famous Boko Haram sect their final, final, final warning (you know how we use to say it when we was still small) but of all Lai Mohammed is like my game changer now..

"Increase in Boko Haram bombing means we are winning the war" those were his words not mine, just a bit confused though I thought with the killings of more boko haram members we should say we are winning and not the other way round but who am I to say other wise, if the presidential spokes man thinks loosing more lives to the sect is winning the war then we might as well start popping champagne every time a bomb goes off in a public place..

I don't know his qualification as a person and the criteria of which he was chosen to make statement but I can see another Reuben Abati repeating itself, this was the same kind of issues we were getting during the GEJ tenure, the kind of report that get you thinking if this people have anything called a brain and if they do, does it really work..

Well I'm done talking about Lai Mohammed, let me just shut up before someone nullify's my blog and thinking about the rivers state situation all I can say is this is just karma.. Wike + Amaechi - Omehia, Amaechi + Dakuku - Wike...
I rest my case

Allison Madueke- richest black woman

Since the news of the arrest of former Petroleum Minister Allison Deiziani- Madueke there have been a lot of mixed feelings so far from Nigerians... Some are disregarding the NEWS as being false, some thinks she is innocent and others believed she is guilty...

I know one may ask what's my take on this but the truth is I don't really have a take on it, I just think if she is found guilty she should be prosecuted if not she should be freed and be apologized to for the humiliation and harassment but to think of the said amount she was caught with then one has to really pry into this issue...

Well reporters can be really terrible at reporting news how can you say she was caught with £13 billion cash in her hand bag.. I mean do you know the quantity of cash that is? That is an outrageous amount of money... I'm sure by now Oprah Winfrey and Alakija will be thinking how come nobody has ever mentioned Deiziani in the Forbes list and making them feel like they are really rich

If the UK court reported that they seized £27, 000 I think that is an understandable or should I say reasonable amount of money but £13 billion??? I mean with that kind of money she can just walk straight into Bucking ham palace and give the Queen a dirty slap and the queen will appreciate her for it

Come to think of the fact that during her time as Petroleum Minister there was a lot of misappropriation of funds in the ministry as heard on the news... I have been wondering why the president is announcing himself as the next petroleum minister until I started hearing the kind of money involved...

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he is going in to collect his own money well the truth is I don't know why he is going in sha I just don't want to point accusing fingers yet but if he is so keen on becoming a minister then one would suggest he be Minister of Defense judging from the insurgency which is currently a problem to the currently and the fact that he was an Army General but he chose petroleum in the stead.. Well na im sabi

Me I'm just here waiting for the senate to commence screening as I will watch the President take his turn in the ministerial screening as our new Petroleum Minister...
Erm where is my popcorn and coke sef this film suppose make sense..

Me Being Patriotic

Me being patriotic is not dressing up in all green
Matching round and drinking everything in bottles that comes in green
Me being Patriotic is reciting the two stanzas of the national anthem
Eating akpu for breakfast and lunch bole
Going to weddings dressed in my native attire
And not choking myself with a piece of tie
I may not take a bullet for mr. President
And our lawmakers I may not defend
Singing their praise every time they let a kobo slip off their greedy pockets
Streaming down to my little needy hands
All in the selfish name of empowerment
Me being patriotic is telling a corrupt police officer to go to hell
And taking down every good punch and slap that my face could felt
I'm happy we are 55 with our much achievements
At least those who distribute power were quick to cut it off
Before I could hear the good will message from Mr president
That's Patriotic of them if I can say
So I urge all Compatriots be quick to pour some palm wine and celebrate
Cause that's the true spirit of Patriotism

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..
