Ladies
and gentlemen, of course you are no doubt aware that the most lucrative
industry in Nigeria at the moment is paying get well visits to
President Muhammadu Buhari in London.
In
fact, I even saw a schedule circulating on Facebook of dates for
different blocs and interest groups to go and see the President in
London.
However, what has gone unnoticed is that governance in Nigeria has slid to slow pace and in some cases to a halt.
For
the past two weeks, various Nigerian cities have suffered from
unprecedented floods, yet the only response from the All Progressive
Congress federal government appears to be for its elected and appointed
officials to flood London to visit President Muhammadu Buhari!
It is almost as if by flooding London with their sycophantic visit, they will repair their flood ravaged cities.
I
wonder why these officials cannot consider that If it is true what the
Presidency says, that President Buhari is returning soon (and we pray it
is true), then why the rush for Governors to go visit him in London at
public expense? They might have as well waited for him to come back
"soon" and then go and visit him at the Villa at less cost to their
states and the federal government.
And
I see some Nigerians complaining that all we get are second hand
hearsay reports from the President's spokesmen who have themselves not
seen the President or spoken to him. They rely on what they are told
from those who claim they have seen the President.
We
see lots of carefully choreographed photographs but then the man does
not speak to us. However, I am not one of those Nigerians who have asked
that the President speak to Nigerians via video for reasons which I
will shortly say.
To
all ignorant people asking why there was no video of President
Muhammadu Buhari's interactions with the APC and the Nigerian Governors
Forum delegation, don't you know the Nigerian Government through
Minister of information, Lai Mohammed, frowns on foreign videos?
Shooting
and publicizing any such video from London will be in contravention of
the "relevant sections of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code" according to
Lai! In as much as our President is abroad, the only legal option
available to Nigerians who want to see him is through pictures. This is a
law-abiding administration and President Buhari will not break the law!
You
see, that is the ridiculous level to which the Muhammadu Buhari
administration has reduced governance in Nigeria. They have FAILED
woefully in all areas and in every regard.
Take
the power sector for example. 36 months after Babatunde Raji Fashola
said voting out the Peoples Democratic Party is the only way to get
power, the National Electricity Regulatory Commission just announced
that power generation in Nigeria has dropped to below 3,000 MWs.
As it stands, we are now generating less power than we were when Fashola made that statement.
You
see, it is where you have plenty of trees that a monkey appears smart.
Bring the monkey to the city and you will discover that it was never
intelligent. Opposition is the tree. Government is the city.
As The Bible asks in Psalm 11:13
"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
Even
people with a previous reputation for brilliance cannot perform under
this administration because the foundation, the head of the
administration itself is an anti-intellectual.
I
remember his first coming as a military head of state vividly. His
policies led to a massive brain drain of Nigeria's finest and best
intellectuals from our Ivory Towers.
Might I ask this hypothetical question?
If
I foolishly employ an applicant who refuses to show me his certificate
should I be surprised when he turns out to be a certified failure? Some
people are funny. How can they elect a man who could not generate wealth
for himself in his private business and expect him to generate wealth
for you in government business?
As
far as I am concerned, the only good thing about this administration is
acting President Yemi Osinbajo, however, it seems as if he is being
checkmated by the cabal around the President because ever since Tunde
Bakare's message accusing him of trying to outshine and outperform his
benefactor and that the next in line does not always become king, I have
noticed a hesitancy in the man.
Pastor Osinbajo should also be very careful and prayerful of the many machinations against him.
Do
not be deceived by the headlines, the constitutional amendment barring
any vice President who completes a President's term from contesting a
2nd term after winning an election is aimed at Professor Yemi Osinbajo
not Goodluck Jonathan!
What
is the pressing need for the constitutional amendment? Look at the
timing. They distracted Nigerians with this jamboree to London then
sprang it on us. I can authoritatively state that Dr. Jonathan has no
plans of contesting the 2019 elections. They just used him as an excuse
to get Osinbajo!
But
I appeal to acting President Osinbajo to stand firm and resist the
cabal. He must show himself different from the likes of Lai Mohammed,
the father of fake news who now wants to disown his lookalike children,
Lie and fake news!
I
do not understand how a government that thrives on fake news will
itself turn around to be the chief complainant of the ravages of fake
news!
For
instance, It is dishonest for the Nigeria Customs to say they made an
all-time highest revenue of ?486 billion within the first 6 months of
2017.
With
the devalued Naira this is not up to how much they made during the
Goodluck Jonathan administration. The amount of ?486 billion at the
official rate of ?362 to $1 is $1.3 billion. In 2014, they made
?425billion in the first 6 months. The amount of ?425 billion at the
then official rate of ?150 to $1 is $2.8 billion.
So
in actual fact and in real terms, the Nigerian Customs made less than
half of what they made during the first 6 months of the last full year
that Jonathan was in office (2014). Please do not be fooled by APC
propaganda!
And this is not an isolated case. It is an established pattern of behavior with this patently dishonest administration!
Reno's Nuggets
At
times when I see the wedding dress some brides wear I wonder whether
their mission is to marry or breastfeed their wedding guests. Not only
will your family be there, but your would be in laws will be there as
well. I can assure you that none of them will respect you after they
have seen your breast in open display. Take sometime to look at royal
weddings. Princesses don't expose their womanly parts. It is low life's
that do that. So, don't be a lowlife. Cover up those breasts
