Ranting of a Presidential aid

“those who make peaceful change inevitable will make violent change inevitable”. President John Kennedy.
The above statement was said to have been re emphasised some time in 2011 by vice president Atiku Abubakar. Again, the former vice president had a press conference on the aftermath of the take over of the chief of Defence Staffs' home town by boko haram. Abubakar accused the Government and the military of not doing enough to curtail the advances of the terrorist.
Obviously, Doyen Okupe- a presidential aid, irked by the stinging truths exposed in the press conference, attacked Atiku Abubakar for utterances that supports insurgency.
Okupe accused that the famous President Kennedy quote   caused the escalation of terrorism in the North East of Nigeria.
This type of accusations only continue to expose the presidency that it is only good in grasping at straws instead of substance.
He should have defended the Government through the publishing of its concerted effort at dealing with terrorism bedevilling the country.
The Government truly has a lame response to criticism instead of proactive approach to public outcry. It must seem, and practically so, to be honest with truths and be on top of security situations.
It is our collective desire to see our Government take decisive action to protect every Nigerian from harm irrespective of region,  tribe,  or religion.

One of the core mandate of the NFIU is to curb Anti-Money Laundering, Counter-Terrorist Financing and Counter-Proliferation Financing (AML/CFT/CPF) framework. Among other things is "Receipt of suspicious transaction reports from reporting entities including financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professionals." It would be recalled that the Federal Government of Nigeria has arrested the Yoruba secessionist agitator, Sunday Adeyemo (also know as Sunday Igboho), while trying to flee the country through Be...

Some solutions to almajiri problem

It is often said that difficult problems requires difficult solutions, almajiranci (child begging/labor) therefore calls for unemotional drastic measures, some of which are; 1) All almajiri/stray children must be mopped off the street and camped in a special facility by State Governments or any organized participating party recognized by government. 2) Special tutors and teachers to be provided for them with multiple languages and skills in technology 3) Engage them with Arabic and Artificial intelligence, teach them computer hard ware and software skills.
