Retire These Bunch

Retire These Bunch
 
If it doesn't disturb you that we have consciously allowed the same few people to control policy since 1960, then please wake up. If you think they are from one ethnic group or religion, you also need to repent from racism/bigotry. They are just a few men, about 80 of them from various ethnic groups and religious divide known as the Lannisters of Aso Rock. 80 people determining the future of 180 million since 1960. This is unacceptable.

Musicians, Artists, Sportsmen, Entertainers usually dominate for no more than 15 years before bowing out or handing over to the next generation except the really fantastic ones. The Lannisters of Aso Rock are neither fantastic nor exceptional. They talk more than Tyrion without his wit, havng the loyalty of Peter Baelish, the cruelty of Ramsay Bolton and the wickedness of Cersei Lannister. They take turns to accuse "corruption" while they are the usurpers of our rights and profiteers of the system they created.

The time is up on the Lannisters of Aso Rock. They have refused to pay their debts and refused to allow the "prince that was promised" to reign. It is time for young Nigerians to reject the title "leaders of tomorrow" and become leaders of now. A generational shift is required for progress today. We must reject the suffocating drug of gradualism.

Get registered to vote as soon as the polls open. Stay informed and learn objectivity. The biggest issues going into 2019 are: the federal question and the economy. People who created our current problem certainly have no part in the future they are ruining for us. We must not act like Stannis and Renly Baratheon fighting each other nor make the mistake of Rob trusting an "old man and ally" of the Lannisters of Aso Rock to be "reasonable".

To be clear: any candidate running for any office over the age of 45 should just forget our votes. Any willing candidate that meets the age mark must also be educated and willing to attend all debates. Court registers should watch out for Buhari and Atiku, they are on their way to change their ages in order to play the under 50 tournament of 2019. This is no joke. Please share, we must take Nigeria from their hands and build up better institutions.

AMNESTY: IN WHOSE INTEREST?

The Third Mainland Bridge is Africa’s and Nigeria’s longest bridge. Its economic importance and significance to Lagos and indeed to Nigeria cannot be wished away. It was shocking and worrisome to learn that terrorist organisation Boko Haram have come south to Lagos and made the bridge its target.  The sect has been responsible for numerous deaths and destruction of property worth hundreds of millions in Naira. A lot of persons have been displaced as a result of the wicked acts of this sect. The administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has had a torrid time dealing with the menace of the group and has thus far remained unsuccessful. Boko Haram is an ideological organization with hard line terrorist operations. It wants or at least is said to want a Sharia state all over northern Nigeria. Having links with other terrorist organizations including Al Qaeda is proof of its outsourcing capabilities. In terms of efficient organization and impact, the sect’s attacks have been hi

LAI'S JOLLOF RICE

I had a neighbour once. A good neighbour. He told us back then that   # JollofRice   was quite tasty in Senegal. Tonight though, the minister of Culture, Tourism and Information Alh. Lai Mohammed was asked on   # CNN 's Quest Means Business "which country makes the best #JollofRice" and Richard Quest actually had a bowl brought in for his view. "I would say Senegal" came the reply from the minister. "There is shock from the country" predicted Richard Quest. Twitter Nigeria is quite displeased with the res ponse and I'm certain others will follow. Two key areas for me in the interview: what are you positioning Nigeria as with Nollywood? Lai's response showed emphatically the directionless leadership of the incumbent administration. You do not have to be a brand strategist or a digital marketer to project Nigeria to the world as being the place for this and that! Oga Lai, that was your moment and you said something else. Then when we thou
