If part of the role of government is creating a conducive and enabling environment for the businesses of its citizens to strive, I see no reason why it should not do so for those of its citizens who have chosen CATTLE REARING as there means of livelihood. Abubakar Yahuza Jalingo

By Abubakar Widi-Jalo In serious countries,when a crime is committed,the first set of people allowed access to the crime scene are forensic experts,they will comb the entire crime scene,take DNA samples,physical evidence and the murder weapons for lab examination. In less than 24hours,names and pictures of suspects will be all over TV stations. But here,the main suspect is usually a whole tribe,the first things we do is to carry a very big 'proverbial brush' and paint a whole tribe,blame a whole tribe,demonize and criminalise a whole tribe. "It is fulani heardsmen" the usual suspects. 24hours,1 year and 10 years after the said crime,we will continue with the blame game and running in circles,while the criminals grow wings and strike again and again. The function of a university is not only to award certificates to students,the university is meant to be a place for scientific research,not just assumptions. That's why we still blame everything on our...

SARAKI: NIGERIANS SHOULD BOYCOTT GTBANK With the spark that President Buhari's anti corruption war is generating, we know that corruption will fight back at some stage, and already we started seeing it coming in many forms such as sabotage and refusal by witnesses to cooperate with authorities. What we did not expect however, is connivance with suspects to get them off the hook, as the GTBank is trying to shield Senate President Bukola Saraki by claiming that a document that is crucial to his prosecution got burnt. We are calling on all agents of change to express their disenchantment against GTBank in every way permitted by our country's laws, including boycotting its services and closing your accounts with them. Such acttion will send powerful message to those institutions, especially banks, which we all along suspected,  benifited immensely from the largese of our country's looters. #BOYCOTTGTBANK

Yes there is acute fuel scarcity. Yes there is darkness due to power outages. Yes the economy is in a downward spiral. But is it PMB that caused all that? No. The Buhari led executive arm of Government is doing everything humanly possible to redress those thorny issues. Yes Senator Saraki has a corrupt antecedent . Yes he became the Senate President through a crooked means. Yes his colleagues are actively supporting him by way of escorting him to the court (their number has reduced from 50 to less than 20 now). Yes he has allowed his colleagues to tinker (insert their interests and expunged the interests of the masses) with the  budget. Yes he is actively trying to change the CCT laws. Are the masses happy with Buhari?  Yes.  Are they happy with the National Assembly? No. Do the masses have rights under the law to organise mass rallies/protests? Yes! Yes my people, I bless you #OccupyNass

Governor Fayose wrote a letter asking China to deny a $6 billion loan to Nigeria for vital infrasctructure projects. He reportedly re-affirmed that with a China trip, which in reality, was for a trade fair. He has now said "I'm impeachable" in response to a journalist asking if he feared impeachment. Fayose apparently meant to say "I'm unimpeachable" but English failed the fake Ibadan Polytechnic graduate. Fair enough. English is not our mother-tongue and has failed us on ocassions we call "brain-block". However, many of us also know little about Peter Ayodele Fayose, a violent drug-addict who not only assassinates political rivals but also manhandles his elderly father (who is a pastor) when the situation warrants it.   See a 2005 report of a Commission of Inquiry on Ekiti political violence which recommended to OBJ to have Governor Fayose impeached and prosecuted for complicity. PMB won't have Fayose impeached, but the two and a quarte...
