POLITICS OF THE EKWENSU (DEITY) WORSHIPERS

Politics is simply defined as a field of struggle amongst actors pursuing conflicting issues that may result in the authoritative allocation of value. During the period, games are played, canvases are embarked on, manifestos are red, and gimmicks are used just for an actor to emerge as the winner. It is pertinent to state that politics is actually viewed as being a dirty game in view of what people have seen or experienced over time in the field of struggle for power in Nigeria. Ideally, politics does not have to be dirty; it should ordinarily be an interesting avenue to elect the best candidate with an uncommon pedigree that can move the cause of common interest forward.

The history of politics in Nigeria is such that it has never assisted a gentle and sincere person with an uncommon pedigree to surface. A true historian would agree with me that the kind of politics played in Nigeria ad binitio did not help the political foundation of Nigeria. The truth remains that "FOUNDATIONS ACTUALLY MATTER." Permit me to quickly give the synopsis of the historical event in Nigerian politics.

Nigeria was amalgamated in 1914 and it became a country for easy administration of the Colonial Masters, Nigeria was governed based on a regional structure, the West, North, and East. In 1955, the Yorubas felt they should seek independence from the Colonial Masters. THE LIKES OF RANSOM FUMILAYO KUTI AND CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO, AMONG OTHERS, DECIDED TO CARRY ALONG THE EASTERNERS THROUGH THE PERSON OF DR. NNAMDI AZIKIWE. They raised funds from the then western region and embarked on the journey to seek independence, only for Dr. Namdi Azikiwe to come back and accuse the person of Olufumilayo Ransom Kuti of being problematic. However, during the period, the Northerners actually protested against self-governance simply because they were not ready.

In 1959, before the British Government gave Nigeria Independence, there was a parliamentary election in which Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe of NCNC came out 1st with 2,594,577 votes and won 81 seats; Chief Obafemi Awolowo of the Action Group came out 2nd with 1,992,364 votes and won 73 seats; while the Northern People's Congress came out 3rd with 1,922,179 votes and won a high number of seats of 134. The result was based on regional bias. None of them could emerge as the Prime Minister but needed to form coalitions to determine who should emerge as the Prime Minister. The Yoruba delegates led by Chief Obafemi Awolowo quickly came to Asaba to meet with Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and other Igbo leaders for possible coalition, BUT CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO AND OTHER YORUBA DELEGATES WERE TRICKED to stay in the hotel where they lodged while DR. NNAMDI AZIKIWE AND OTHER IGBO PEOPLE SNEAKED TO THE NORTH TO FORM A COALITION WITH THE NORTHERNERS WHO WERE OBVIOUSLY NOT READY FOR SELF-GOVERNANCE. I am personally shocked to read that such action took place and I was worried to know why such action was carried out by these people led by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Could it be that they just hated the Yorubas or that is the practice of these people?

It's only extreme hate that could have made someone backstab a man who had offered him the position of being the Prime Minister and just for him to give the man the position of the Vice or Finance Minister and then backstab him to go and negotiate for a ceremonial function. I don’t get it. This is what formed the foundation of our country's politics, so no one should be surprised if you see the EKWENSU (DEITY) WORSHIPERS display their true colors. They have always done so.

It is necessary to clear the air by revealing them. Ekwensu is a trickster of the Igbo people, a trickster spirit of confusion, that serves as the Alusi (god) of bargains and the tortoise. crafty in trade and negotiations. He is often invoked for guidance in difficult mercantile situations. He is perceived as a spirit of violence that incites people to commit violent acts. His companion was Ogbunabali. (Go and verify it with Google)

One could say it is comical to note that these people had never voted for any Yoruba hero just for hate's sake. Awolowo an outstanding Nigerian hero, was never voted for by these people at any time. One of the surprising political events was the records of the 1993 election, despite the agitation for a democratically elected President in Nigeria. The whole world witnessed a very peaceful election in the history of democracy, not just in Nigeria but the whole world. Every single person wanted Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola to emerge as the President. Even the biological mother of his opponent (Tofa) voted for him, but the Igbo’s did not.

May I quickly give you the synopsis of the hopes for the 1993 election? A presidential election was held in Nigeria on June 12, 1993, The elections were the outcome of a transitional process to civilian rule headed by the then military ruler, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida. The result of the election, though not declared by the National Electoral Commission (NEC), shows that Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) won the election by defeating Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention (NRC). The winner of the election was thus never declared as the elections were annulled by the IBB, citing electoral irregularities. The annulment led to protests and political unrest, including the resignation of IBB and a weak interim civilian government and culminated in the continuation of military rule in the country, with Sani Abacha ascending to power as the military head of state via a bloodless coup later in the year.

It is regrettable to state that most Nigerian youths were tricked to believe that the End Sars protest was a form of revolution, with due respect to the true, amiable, and reasonable Nigerian youths who sincerely used the avenue to raise their voices for a better Nigeria. I have these questions for our conscience:

I. Is Tinubu (the Jagaban) the President?

II. Does Tinubu have a political position in the Present administration (Buhari`s Regime)?  

III. Who are the unknown Gun men that attacked his TV station?

IV. Who sent the unknown Gun men to attacked Tinubu`s TV station and for whose interest?

V. Who was responsible for the destruction of Lagos amenities and for whose interest?

VI. Who burnt Oyingbo and Berger BRT terminus and for who`s interest?

All of this appeared to be a calculated evil orchestrated by these same people in order to destabilize Tinubu`s possible political ambition, despite the fact that he had not declared any intention at the time. 

 They started by doctoring his picture to look like a great grandfather of 300 years old and circulated to go viral on the social media.

 They labeled him with all manners of evil and called him names 

 They lied against him that he said he does not believe in the youths 

 They wrongly criticized him for everything he says 

 His name does not leave their mouth their boys and girls cream his name on the social media every day.

 They said his school certificate is fake 

One of the stupid things one stupid guy came to say was that he was coughing as if it were a crime to cough. They criticized him on "emi lo kan" and sang an abusive song about it. They mock him for an outstanding solution that he came up with on one of his outings. Agbado in the morning, cassava in the afternoon. These behaviors of theirs really make me feel like EKWENSU may actually be playing football in their heads. Hence, how would they not understand that custard, cornflakes, and pap (Ogi) are all Agbado in the morning while Funfu, Eba and Amala Lafu are all Cassava in the afternoon? They refused to understand that, presently, soldiers are not being fed. We have all watched on social media how some military guys were crying for food in the Sambiza forest. The singular statement he made employed fifty thousand (50,000) soldiers and fed them with agbado in the morning and cassava in the afternoon to solve several pending issues, i.e.

 Unemployment 

 Insurgency 

 Security

 Agriculture

 Food security because farmers will be encourage to farm the more. 

That singular submission is a solution to some crucial challenges facing the country at the moment, but because of hate, they will never understand.

If they were serious about the End of Sars agitations, which include ignoring previous politicians and bringing in a new generation of politicians, why are they projecting Obi-tuary , a 62-year-old man? Why not a youth that is in his/her 40s? Why are they attacking anyone who says the truth about Obi -tuary now? In my humble submission, it is either we go for the best of the new breed of politicians or the best of the pending politicians. The best of them, based on records of achievement, remains the Jagaban.

It is just comical that they are criticizing Tinubu but promoting Peter Obi Gregory, the same man they have castigated for poor performance six (6) years into his governance in Anambra State on the Nairaland social media platform. (https://www.nairaland.com/870945/what-exactly-peter-obi-doing).

The same Peter Obi who ran as Atiku's vice president and described Atiku as the best thing that could happen to Nigeria was later pushed by Ekwensu worshipers to run as a Presidential Aspirant under the PDP umbrella. When he discovered that Atiku was too strong for Ekwensu mentality, he protested and later fled to the Labour Party. Surprisingly, he turned against Atiku and started describing him as a corrupt politician. We will recognize them by their fruit. 

Funny enough, most supporters of this guy are just dummies. No wonder Femi Kuti described them as being Zombies, tell them to go and kill for Obi, they are more than willing. They are all the same, with similar characteristics. When they ask hypocritical questions they are not willing to listen to your explanation. They initiated an election on social media, where there is no single ballot box, and declared Obi as the winner.

They are so dull that the only thing they know how to do best is tricks, lies bully and threaten people. One of the funny things they did was to coin Obedient for the name Obi without considering the fallacious blunder involved. If you have ever been thought about fill in the gap and the name Obi -- - - - grammatically the alphabets that come in are tuary making is name OBITUARY where do they see Obedient from? Except they want to create a dull dictionary for the Obituaries. 

NO WONDER THE ANAMBRA HE RULED FOR EIGHT YEARS TURNED INTO A DEATH ZONE TO THE EXTENT THAT HE HIMSELF RAN TO LIVE IN LAGOS STATE, RULED BY THE JAGABAN for safety. None of his family lives in Anambra. What does this tell a smart person? Yet the dummies Obi-tuaries are still talking. They attacked and threatened anyone who said the truth. I have been attacked before. Femi Kuti was threatened when he expressed his mind. Many people are now scared to openly express their candidate. Is this how true democracy is practiced? 

Obi-tuary is a good speaker who learned how to sweet-talk customers as a banker before pursuing politics, but he is also a pathological liar. Can anyone sincerely tell me one single thing he said that he did that deos not turn out to be a lie? With his deceptive slogan "GO AND VERIFY," do we really need to go and verify if something is real? Should we list a few of his and his supporters' previous public statements: 

In 2019, Obi said on television that he invested $30 million in SABMiller and the investment is now worth $100 million. Checks revealed that only $12 million was invested in the name of the state. Where is the remaining $18 million? Besides, the investment is barely worth $3.5 million today. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu claimed Obi took Anambra’s money to invest in personal businesses. Perhaps, he is talking from facts.

 https://dailytrust.com/fact-check-did-peter-obi-build-10-hospitals-win-bill-and-belinda-gates-best-gov-award-in-2013

It's so sad that his supporters can see the obvious lies, but for tribal reasons, they're engaging in Ekwensu politics of deception and confusion. However, it is quite unfortunate for them that "Jagaban lo kan" as I always tell many of them. I believe that the Lord God Almighty has ordained Tinubu as the president come the year 2023 and there is nothing a hundred billion amadiohas or Ekwensu can do about it because ”E GBE KINI YI WA” "AWA LO KAN". 

Nigeria needs a man with an uncommon pedigree like "THE JAGABAN" who ruled Lagos State when potholes were everywhere and refuse practically littered every street in Lagos State to the extent that Lagos State was declared "the dirtiest" in Africa. He transformed Lagos from a slum to the "ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL HUB OF AFRICA." No single past governor has had a record of achievement close to his. So e gbe ki ni yi wa “AWA LO KAN”

Nigeria will rise, may we not experience:

ONE WORD FOR WIFE BEATER

ONE WORD FOR WIFE BEATER

By Fashina Muyiwa Julius 

A wife beater is not just a failure or a coward but an “Animal in human skin” that should be kept in the zoo, a man who claimed to love his wife will never beat his wife for any reason. To start with what is marriage a dictionary put it as “the legally or formally recognized “UNION OF TWO PEOPLE AS PARTNERS” however, A commonly accepted and encompassing definition of marriage is the following: a formal union, social and legal contract between two individuals that “UNITES THEIR LIVES LEGALLY, ECONOMICALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY”. I am not talking about religion here, but common sense in 21st epoch.

There are identified basic types of relationships, i.e.: 

• Marital relationships.

• Family relationships.

• Friendships.

• Acquaintances.

• Work relationships.

• Situational relationships (sometimes called "situationships")

You may have been or be in any of the relationship mentioned above,  but there is none that does not have its own flaws, but assault is not an option for resolution.

Your wife is a critical and crucial better half, she is not just your partner in that relationship but your life because you have both come together to unite your lives to live as one, so she deserves to be respected. Kindly recall that your commitment as a husband is to love her and to protect her at all times, it is an insane situation to beat and assault the same person you have a responsibility to protect. I do not understand and can never understand why conflict resolution should be resolved through assault, it is not comical but ridiculous and barbaric.

Misunderstanding or Conflict in a relationship is inevitable but your ability to be civil at amicably resolving it is crucial, what are you teaching your children if you beat or assault their mother, do you understand the psychological impact of that barbaric behavior in them? No true child will be happy to see or hear their father beat their mother. It is unacceptable; it is a barbaric and wicked act.

Imagine seeing your father beating your own mother right in your presence, how will you feel, will you love your father for that? Even if your own father did that to your mother while you are growing up, does it make you happy and is it commendable? Aside from the fact that it is barbaric, beating your wife is beating yourself and psychologically and emotionally traumatizing your own Children. Say no to wife beating today. 

If you read this and do not feel sorry if you have ever beaten your wife, then you are an Animal in Human skin, and you should be kept in the Zoo. 

Thank you

WAKE UP YORUBA YOUTHS

WAKE UP YORUBA YOUTHS

THE PLOY OF HATERS TO CRIPPLE LAGOS STATE AND THE SOUTH WEST IS AROUND THE CORNER 

 

There is no doubt that things are so hard in the Country in view of Insecurity, Kidnapping, Unemployment, Educational decadent, Ritualism, High cost of living and so on. Every State and Citizen passes through the same unpleasant hurdles without spearing anyone throughout the Federating Units and no one is left out.

 

We are all in the struggle together because we desire good governance and better Nigeria, suffice is to state that some of us are sincerely imagining what could be the future of our Children. Some of us have actually lost hope in this country, some are trying to believe, while some actually believe that things will get better.

 

It is imperative to state that two wrongs can never make a right, the Yorubas will say “Ori bibe ko ni ogun Ori fifo” (to behead a person is not an antidote to his headache). I have noticed with dismay how some lethargic, dull and unreasoning Yoruba youths will allow themselves to be used against their own very region (South West) all in the name of protest. I believe that protest should be a means or an avenue to make our voices heard, targeted at making conditions of life better and not to create hardship and destroy infrastructural amenities that will later hamper our conditions of life.

 

On 29th of June, 2016, over 14 BRT buses were vandalized at Maryland bus stop along Ikorodu Road after an accident involving a BRT bus and a street hawker. You will also recall the protest which morphed from social media campaigns into street demonstrations in October 2020, which was triggered by the excesses of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a now-disbanded police tactical unit notorious for cruelty against crime suspects. 

 

Just like yesterday, I still remember how Ojodu Berger and Oyingbo BRT terminals were attacked and razed with several buses burnt beyond repair, the properties destroyed were put at N3.9 Billion, mostly belonging to the state government and a few private individuals. Organized groups (vandals) were at the headquarters of Television Continental (TVC) in Lagos to perpetuate at act of arson.

 

Now, who bears the brunt of the destruction? The President who is tagged “father of the Country” does not come from the South-West, let alone Lagos State, so why is Lagos State the target?

 

On Monday 4th of April, 2022, some youths staged a protest and barricaded the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. The protesters made bonfires on both sides of the road around the Berger area, preventing free vehicular movement along roads linking to the expressway. They also displayed banners with the inscription: “Questions for Politicians and Religious Leaders”. What is the Future of Nigeria? All highways in Nigeria will be [ blocked]. No movement nationwide’. During the protest, they urged motorists and passers-by to support them. My question is why must Lagos and South West be targeted at all times? Why not another state outside the south west. Which other highway in any other State was blocked during this particular protest?

 

I was chatting on Facebook where some sets of people from other parts of the Country were calling for another protest in Lagos State, I came in between and suggested a state from the South East. Most people in the group castigated me with abuses for that singular statement, just because they understood the aftermath effect and the consequences of staging a protest in any State.

 

Wake-up Youths of South-West, stand against double jeopardy. We cannot experience all these issues and our properties are destroyed. Why are some people quick at “let’s go and destroy Lagos State”? But do not pray for such in their own state. Wakeup the articulate, reasonable, ever dynamic Yoruba Youth and say no to violent, say no to destruction of Infrastructural Amenities” meant for us and our children.  

 

Thank you

Who does the cap fit?

 

Who does the cap fit?

Come year 2023, the crown fit no one but the king maker

The problem of Nigeria is nothing but Religious, Tribal and Systemic, how? I sincerely have no doubt in my heart that the worst Governor in Nigeria may rule as the best President in the United State of America due to political systemic built on trust, commitment and sincerity of purpose with leverages on the quality a leader possesses devoid of sentiments, skin or Religion. Hence Barrack Obama ruled as the President of the Country.

Unfortunately, Nigeria is the only country where the people desire good governance and go to Churches, Mosques and other religious houses to pray for such a leader but when the opportunity stir at them for a democratic political power to cast their votes, they switch to sentiment and their desire changes for a leader from their very tribes not minding the implication at that very point. The most surprising thing about us (Nigerians) is that when it comes to football matches and other sports we always sincerely seek to have the right people to play irrespective of the tribe no body ask after (Igbo, Yoruba, Fulani or Hausa), religion or colour, we all just want to see the Team being victorious but not in governance.

It is pertinent to state that Nigeria is faced with multiple challenges that require an experienced person with an uncommon success story in governance. A man who can fix the right people as lieutenants devoid of tribal sentiment, a man who can look at challenges in the face and tackle it straight, we want a man who can think outside the box, not a copy-paste leader, we want a leader who can turn the economy of Nigeria to an enviable position, we want a leader who can make Nigeria a country that most people will desire to visit, We want a leader who can tackle insurgency and make Nigeria peaceful again. We want a leader who will feel the pains of the common people devoid of any region or section, a leader who will be for all and not for a section, a leader who can lead us to the promised land, a leader who already has a blueprint solution to the present challenges, not a leader who will depend on foreign advice alone, We want a leader who cannot be intimidated nor manipulated by other developed Countries.

May I present to you the Jagaban of borgu kingdom, Asiwaju of Nigeria the emeritus Bola Ahmed Tinubu a man who inherited a Lagos State that was on its knees, even though it has the potential of a great State. Lagos roads were an eyesore; its IGR stood at just N600, 000.000.00 monthly while the State was largely dependent on Federal allocation for survival. A State with the highest number of labour after the Federal, a right-thinking person does not need a soothsayer to tell him/her that such a State will collapse if its federal allocation is not released in a few months. Wow, it may interest you to know that the State allocation was seized all the period he was the State Governor.

The man with the Cap quickly put up his thinking Cap and initiated a master plan that gradually increased the State IGR from next to nothing to over N50bn monthly. Permit me to emphatically state that despite the regular collections of Federal allocation by other Governors, many of them could not pay Public Servants’ salaries for years until they got a bailout from the Federal Government. This is one of the many reasons for a man with the blueprint to be considered.

In the face of seizure of the State funds, he embarked on mass recruitment of Senior Staff into the State Civil Service. May I have the readers indulgence to categorically enumerate a few of this man`s uncommon achievements during the trying period:

I.          He awarded contracts for 422 road projects, and 308 were completed during his tenure.

II.        He repositioned the health sector through heavy financial and human capital investment. More General Hospitals were established. The existing ones were rehabilitated. Also, the administration built more health centers at the grassroots. Modern medical equipment was procured for the health hospitals and health centers. New medical laboratories were also set up.

III.       The administration introduced a free health policy for Children below 18 and adults above 65 years. The drugs for patients were heavily subsidized. Under the Blindness Prevention Programme, millions of Lagosians were saved from sight problems. The administration’s “Roll Back Malaria” program complemented the Eko Free Malaria Treatment program under which millions of people were treated. To attend to medical emergencies the LASAMBUS scheme was initiated. Dozens of ambulances were provided to ease rescue operations.

IV.       He inherited a city where Refuse disposal was a major headache. The fear of epidemic engulfed the State but in no time the refuse disappeared

V.        The administration’s youth development program led to the annual “One Day Governor” event. The academic competition was anchored by the New Era Foundation.

VI.       He converted the dreadful Ita Oko prisoner’s camp into a youth skills acquisition center. There was also a program of women empowerment to enable women cope with the harsh economic realities and make them become self-employed.

VII.      In the housing sector, he facilitated access to quality accommodation and succeeded in making the Lekki corridor the fastest-growing estate.

VIII.    There was a turnaround in the fortunes of the LSDPC. Its account was red before Tinubu assumed office.

IX.       There were also novel initiatives in transportation, including the development of modern water transportation, BRT and LASTMA.

X.        Under the visionary administration, Lagos blazed the trail in the Independent Power Project (IPP), which continually supplied 270 megawatts of electricity to the national grid.

XI.       He created additional 37 Councils, following the legitimate agitations of Lagosians for improved governance at the grassroots. The number of the Councils rose to 57. However, the National Assembly refused to list the Councils in the Constitution.

His successor, Fashola, built on his achievements.

In view of the serious predicament that was intentionally created by the Federal Government to cripple Lagos State, he has outstanding records of performance and receives various awards: 

 They include the ‘Best Governor of for 2001 by the Nigerian/Belgian Chamber of Commerce, Winner of 2002 Best Practices Prize in improving the living environment (by the Federal Ministry of Works and UN habitat Group), 2000 Best computerized Government in Nigeria (by the Computer Association of Nigeria), 2003 Green Crystal Award for Enhancing the Value of the Environment (by Clean-Up Nigeria (CUN), 2002 Healthcare Award as the best provider of best health services in Nigeria, Presidential Merit Award for Technological Development by the Nigerian Society of Engineers, 2001 National Literacy award for outstanding contribution to mass literacy, Co-winner of 2002 Outstanding Alumnus award of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), 2001 Distinguished Alumnus Award by Chicago State University, Distinguished Service Award for Exemplary Leadership by the Lagos State Economic Summit Group, Certificate of Commendation by the national Conference of Black mayors, Silver Jubilee Anniversary Award as Labour Friendly Governor by the National Union of Petroleum and Natural gas Workers (NUPENG) and Award of Recognition by Nigerian Berge Limited for the initiation of the Independent Power project (IPP).

WHY DO SOME UNSCRUPULOUS PEOPLE HATE HIM?

Unfortunately, no matter how good or sound a man could be, there will always be haters. When you are envious of someone unconsciously it turned to madness or irritating hatred, one of their many questions is the source of his wealth and they always ask to show us the source of his wealth. I always wondered why any reasonable person will ask from an intelligent man over 65 years old who had worked with a renowned international Audit and Accounting firm? a man who created a master plan that made Lagos an economic hub of Africa envy of Nigeria? the man is one of the most exposed people in the world, people in their small enclosed and myopic mindset just hate him for nothing, even if the man brings out proof because of envy they will never be satisfied. With all the insults and labels, he never answer any of them, he became more focused.

This is a man who had done more than enough for other ethnic groups across the major regions of Nigeria:

I.          Ben Akabueze an Igbo man was made a Commissioner to serve in the most vibrant Ministry – Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget for more than 10 years no single Yoruba has ever enjoyed that in the history of Lagos State.

II.        Joe Igbokwe is a serving cabinet Commissioner in Lagos State

III.       An Igbo student was made a day Governor in Lagos State

IV.       Several people from other ethnic groups are Directors in the Civil Service of Lagos more than any other States

V.        Sam Egube Ugheli, Delta State is the present Commissioner for Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget.

VI.       Kabiru Ahmed Abdullahi (From the North) is a serving Commissioner in the State

vii.       and many more. He has proven himself to be free of tribal sentiment from all measures.  

The heartbreaking truth remains that a leader should not be chosen because you like or hate him but because of the value of competency he possessed, you may not like his personality, it does not matter, what matters is the value of competency he possessed, the father of Barrack Obama was from Kenya in Africa but the Americans saw value of competency in him and voted to tap his resourceful value.  Unfortunately, Nigerians are clamouring for good governance but allowed sentiment to blind fold us. Must we continue with this?

It is worthy to note that a man who had triumphantly governed a State like Lagos, a State that could be compared to Nigeria and be called a mini Nigeria with all Tribes and People from the entire federating unit confidently living in it without intimidation by anyone and could be triumphantly govern without Federal allocation yet could embark on several projects, pay staff salaries before every months end,  pay 13^th month salary by percentage inform of welfare in every months of December, employed over 10,000 more Senior Civil Servants and ensure an employee recruitment platform that eventually increased the staff strength to hit over 100, 400 Members of Staff, computerised the entire Civil Service to the extent that clerical staff uses computers and cleaners could even use computer such a man has the blueprint to take Nigeria to the promised Land.

HIS ILL HEALTH RUMOUR

A widespread rumour has it that he is battling with a significant ill health that may hamper his strength to deliver; this is more than being comical for the acclaimed learned few to reason in such a shallow thinking. Despite the alleged ill heath this man has been on the road 24 /7 moving from one Local Government to the other throughout the Northern part and South West of the Country for political campaign without breaking down and still moving to other parts.

More so, Governance is not about running up and down with display of physical strength but ability to think right and put the right lieutenants in the right positions devoid of tribalism, religion or any form of sentiment.

When he emerged as the Governor of Lagos State in 1999 he was not running up and down the State physically yet he made an uncommon achievements.          

ABILITY TO MANAGE THE ECONOMY

This is a man who understand the importance of diversification of the Economy to yield uncommon interest, hence, he invested the sum of N4 billion in econet and got N19 billion when he was the Governor of Lagos State this is just one out of many reasons why the king maker should become the king.   

Thank you all, God bless Nigeria.

AN UPDATE CONCERNING THE DEVILISH YOUNG GUY IN EDO STATE

 It is no longer news that the Devilish young guy popularly called Mr. Frank (MR BEKENAIWE EBI-ELA FRANK) has gone into a hideout suspected to be within Edo State, he is quite aware that he is being tracked to know his present location and as a result, he never switch-on any of his Mobile lines.

It is pertinent to state that the Devilish young guy has defrauded people of their various hard earn money suspected to be running into Billion of Naira. People had invested a lot in his Forex Trading scam ranging from a minimum of N200,000.00  to an unlimited amount, a particular man who invested N32,000,000.00 (Thirty-Two million Naira) suddenly develop High Blood Pressure and now stroke, and several others develop other shock-related sicknesses.

The incidence was reported electronically to INTERPOL and EFCC and has been acknowledged respectively, letters were sent indiscriminately to other crime-fighting institutions including the Nigerian House of Assembly. Letters were equally sent to some crime-fighting institutions in Canada to investigate the Sister (ESTHER BEKENAIWE) LIVING IN TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA. Surprisingly, the Sister has gone to delete her Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PEEXTY). We personally called his mother who missed our calls but call back and she did a voice note to us via Whatsapp, His Sister who still resides in Edo was contacted but she kept begging that the Brother will refund people`s money back.  

However, it may appear like he could be JAMES BOND forever but for sure he will be apprehended that I am sure.
