A particular local government in Oyo State has been experiencing spike in rape cases.

The rape case have similitude of Badoo killings that occurred in Ikorodu Lagos some couple of years ago.

Are they truly on top of the situations?


Before it spread its tentacles to other areas, security agencies should do the needful.

Video: Lawma officials beg for salary backlogs to be paid

Leaders call the youths lazy.

Now, the same sets of youths they called lazy have decided to work. Why would the same government that tagged them lazy failed to pay their wages.

Management of LAWMA have breached labour agreement by not paying these workers as and when due.

How does government want them to survive?

It is rather unfortunate that people would have to beg people in positions of authority before they can be duly compensated.

It is unbecoming of a democratically elected leaders to watch the masses suffer like this, it is pathetic and a sorry case/.

Hushpuppy arrest in Dubai and disoriented Nigeria youths.

Nigeria youths are resourceful and ambitious.

But, some youths are disoriented and over- ambitious.

Arrest of Raymond Igbalode popularly called Hushpuppy is a step in the right direction. He is ostensibly living lavishly with no traceable source of income.

Some young men were arrested by FBI in the USA for internet fraud.

Youths cutting corners have short time to enjoy their ill-gotten wealth.They are also bad influence to upcoming teenagers who see them as role model.

Nigeria government should support young entrepreneur who are striving to make ends meet.

Hushpuppy and other fraudulent people out there should be made to face full wrath of the law.

Another democracy day is here.

Another democracy day is here.

Democracy is the government of the people by the people and for the people.

True democracy is center on people.

We only claim to practise democracy, in the true sense of the word we are far from it.

Rule of law is key if we are to uphold tenets of democracy.Some individuals are clearly above the law, they are sacred cows.

Nigeria is said to be the world poverty capital because of bad leadership.

There are no dividends of democracy, people have become poorer.

The bane of our economy is corruption, Nigeria is rich in natural resources but those that are saddle with responsibility of managing the economy are being found wanting .

We used to have selfless leaders who fought for our democracy.

Until people at helms of affairs begin to do what is needful, masses will not experience what true democracy is, let alone enjoying the dividends.

Why politicians fudge certificates

Aspiring political office holders would do everything to get to the positions.

Requirements for occupying any political positions is spelt out by INEC.

The requirements are straight forward, every aspiring candidates should have minimum O Level.

It is bizzaire to note that many political office holders fudge their O Level certificate result in order to be eligible for any political positions.

An incubent governor of Edo state would have to prove in the court of Law how he graduated from prestigious University of Ibadan with such a woeful O Level result.

It is not the first time a political office holders will be embroiled in certificate racketeering.

Who is to blame?

Who carry out the screening exercise, it is likely money has exchange hands .

An individual who could fudge his certificate would steal government money if voted for .

The body in charge of screening political office holders should wake up to their responsibility and jettison act inimical to our development.

Any office holders or aspiring found to have involved in certificate falsification should be dealt with according to the law of the land.

Opening of churches again!

Some churches are opened already, while others are warming up.

Re-opening of churches came with stringent rules put in place by government.

The rules didn't go down well with some religious leaders while others would comply with any rules to open their churches again.

Pastor of a church had said, opening a church now is synonymous to endangering lives of congregants.

It seems church leaders are divided over these mind boggling issues.

Should church remain close until covid-19 disappear into thin air?

After all , the just live by faith.

If all the rules are adhere to, spreading of the disease will be checked, even in the church .

Also, churches should be fumigated and all efforts geared towards reducing the pandemics.

Closing the church forever is not the anti-dote .

Politicians are not walking the talk .

As momentum is gathering  towards forth-coming election in Edo State.

Politicians were busy moving from places to places canvassing for votes.

Promises of giving masses good motorable  roads, clean pipe borne water are still  items in their manifesto  for soliciting for votes   .

Most of the contestants have occupied one position or the other in the past.

People have lost confidence in leadership and it is very difficult to believe them.

Talk is cheap, performance is everything. Individuals who have no transforming agenda should not be voted for.
