Sowore is a traitor

Image
@YeleSowore was arrested on 3rd August, 2019 by the DSS for charges, among other things, calling for a revolution, an overthrow of a legitimate government, which is termed as TREASON. A term associated with a "crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one's nation or sovereign. This usually includes things such as participating in a war against one's native country, ATTEMPTING TO OVERTHROW ITS GOVERNMENT". The DSS has since refused to release the alleged traitor mulling over the need for  overriding national interest. Hence, the rumors of appeal by the Federal government. In another twist, officials of the justice ministry are alleging that the judge (Justice Taiwo Taiwo) who delivered the bail judgement in favour of the revolutionist is a bossom to the defendant's council, Femi Falana (SAN), and so there is an evidence of bias.

Technology is expanding the frontiers and boundaries of business and political governance. During the 'Obama years', his face or messages appeared in 2 of every 4 Americans. Today,  former President Barack Obama has topped the list of 'highest person with twitter followers', with over one hundred and eight million (108,787,220) followers. Meaning that with a piece of technology, the flexibility of solving problems 'have been solved'. At the heels of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, comes out other services aided by technology like Fintech, age-tech etc. KPMG reported that "global investments in Fintech remained steady at over $31b, year-overyear,and that "Nigeria has over 50 fintech start-ups that make up the fintech ecosystem with investment exceeding $200 million between 2014 and 2015.

Another critical look at Nigeria by Frank Odindo

This is Ramsey Nouah and Genevive Nnaji. They are two of the most popular African personalities in the world as far as film goes ( Genevieve Nnaji  and  Ramsey Nouah ). They are Nigerians. They embody everything about Nigeria: hard work, tenacity, sheer power of the will, and extroversion. Now, these two Nigerians helped bring Nigeria to the rest of Africa. Their movies penetrated national borders and were shown in nearly every TV on the continent. Just by dubbing their tapes and reselling them for a dollar on the streets, bootleggers in Nairobi and other cities made enough money to live on. Individually, Genevive, 40 years old, has starred in 80 movies spanning 30 years of acting, concluding with Lionheart in 2018, which she also wrote and produced (acquired by Netflix for $3 million). Ramsey Nouah, 48 years old, has starred in about 50 movies spanning 2 decades. Of course, both of them have won the AMA and shattered other records in Nollywood. They made ...

LEARN FROM SHEHU SANI, DON’T FIGHT THE WILL OF GOD By Daniel Tabiyatiya Facebook post

Senator Elisha Abbo, (yes that's him, you all know him) has allegedly called Governor Ahmadu Fintiri a liar and a dictator when it became apparent that his supporters (Abbo's) had failed to clinched Local government election tickets in Adamawa State PDP primary election. Abbo was said to have been angered and accused the PDP and the Governor of heavy interference in selection of party ticket bearers. But in a swift reaction, Gov. Fintiri's supporters are quick in reminding the attention-seeker-Senator that Adamawa politics is not a sex-toy shop. ENJOY: I don’t know your advisers (that’s if you actually have) but trust me, they are doing a terrible job. Do you think that the people advising you are genuinely concerned about you and your progress? Gov. Fintiri is human, just like you and I. He makes mistakes too just like everyone, but calling him a dictator is out of context. What has he done to show that he is a dictator? We all know that everyone makes unpopular...

Why is it that outsiders hate Nigeria? By Victor Dirikebamor

Let me tell you a personal story: It is mandatory in Nigeria, for every fresh university graduate to serve the father land voluntarily for a year, in his or her area of expertise, in the national youth service corps (NYSC)… a paramilitary one year service to the nation, to bring about unity amongst Nigerians and to learn of cultures and traditions different from the one you were born into. Graduates are made to preselecte 4 states mostly outside there geopolitical zone for this exercise. Since I was born and educated in the south (Bayelsa / Delt a  states) I had to select likely states in the north and western parts of the country. Some time January 2017, I got a message on my phone, reminding me to be in the orientation camp sometime that same month, I felt afraid immediately, the time and date was not the issue here but the location was more important to I and my family, for it was Plateau state... A state I didn't even choose. I was Posted to plateau state ,  the...
