God will not change people's condition until they change their value system. On Evans and his likes head lie several chieftaincy titles given by traditional leaders without knowing his source of income. Around him flocked several women without knowing what he does for a living. Upon his head lie several prayers made by MOG who never heard from the Holy Spirit about who he is. This is how depraved we have become as a society. If not for his arrest, he is capable of sponsoring three governors to win next election. We all jubilated at his arrest, however, we helped in his elevation.His neighbours locked up their houses and never bothered to find out who he is... Sat with him probably at Community Monthly Meetings. The Church he attends with his family must have celebrated the "goodness"of God upon his life. Probably acknowledged him as a tither without knowing what he does for a living. Nigeria ambassadors attended his philanthropic projects in Ghana without questioning ...

Everyone is shouting vi and lekki flood as if its not every part of lagos that is always flooded. The issue is the failure of government and not the people. political desperation and thuggery is too much in lagos and its affecting every facet of the state. Theres law n it should be applied with equality. The people shouldnt be painted as deviant anymore because  works by the govt is not conmensurate with the state revenue. How can lagos fight flood successfully n sincerely with commitment? I grew up in ikeja so,let me use ikeja as a case study because during heavy down pour,ikeja is always flooded. The lg has two main canals/valleys,the one connecting the whole of adekunle from adeniyi  jones to aromire,allen,secretariat,oregun,ojota  and maryland. The second canal  connects the central ikeja  of toyin street n environs,police barrack,custom training ground,gra,onigbongbo,mende,sheraton and connected to the other canal at ojota koto bridge linking maryland and...

An excerpts from my whatssap handle's political group" AGODI AGENDA,2019!" This is perhaps one of the few countries where we make so much noise about youth participation in politics. Not that there is anything wrong 👎 with that. By all means they should be encouraged so as to acquire knowledge, experience and exposure and prepare themselves for  leadership. In this country today, it is  the youths of yester years that are responsible for the mess we are in today. Between 1960 and 1966 when some self educated men were the leaders, we were making progress. Even after the war, guided by older and experienced civil servants, we still  made remarkable progress until 1975.  From then the story of Nigeria changed. Cheek out all the players in Nigeria's leadership from independence, whether in the military  or civil service,  they were youths ,and large percentage of our political, religious,economic, educational and social leaders are youths going by t...

The man dies in him that keeps qiet in the face of injustice.-Professor Wole Soyinka. Governance in lagos is between two sets of people: opportunist political elites and opportunist political thugs. Every other person is their slave,all masses on the streets and within the state. Same situation exists all over the federation and this has to stop!! Have you asked yourself why some illiterate thugs exist in kai and Lastma,placed on the road by the opportunist political elites to be harassing the educated literates and businessmen and women on the road on daily basis? Personally,I know lagos is a lawless state. The law is basically designed to cripple,incapacitate and dismantled the weak. That's the same attribute taken to the central government by the APC led federal government. Every organ of our government is lawless if you take a critically look at happenings in the country in the last two years. From executive to judiciary and legislative, they are all lawless and corrupt. The...

Let me state succinctly that my position on this writeup is not out of hate of any religious organization and if there's any need they would want me arrested to defend my claim,I will gladly own up. This is necessary for us all to get our acts in order by believing in God strictly and not religion. My profile on Facebook is me: Akande Akin Sanyaolu,not any other person. A friend of mine once said on Facebook that we are all hustlers and I agreed with him totally. We should thank God for where we are today but we cannot forget the past,we can only forgive it. Talk of poverty,presently, by NBS data,about 70% of Nigerians are poor and this is not a new thing as it's as equal to the age of the country. The remaining 30% rich Nigerians, definitely,must have tasted poverty one way or the other in their quest for breakthrough in life. I do not want to hold brief for Evans but I know that as a Christian ,we shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free. In fact,no sinner woul...

I wrote an article about poverty as the clog to our national progress,growth and development on Eid Mubarak day. In one of the pages i shared the article,someone commented by first appreciating the article and then posited that our nation's problem isn't poverty but corruption and I responded thus: Poverty breeds corruption my brother. There are different classes of poverty: 1. Spiritual poverty 2. Mental  poverty 3. Physical poverty You can see that they are sequential? This is because they affect one another. The first is determined by our closeness to the supreme being,God. It is connected to our religion,to our moral values at home,religious and traditional values,educational values and respect of oneself. Spiritual poverty is ignited by deceits and hypocrites which make us far from God and be pursuing worldly and earthly gains according to Gal 5:20-25 on the fruits of the spirit, thereby,making us to be spiritually poor leading to mental poverty, greed is thus sprea...

The major problem in Nigeria is poverty. This is the reason many Nigerians want to get wealth at all cost leading to high degree of man inhumanity to man in our society and government. It goes beyond han nature in Nigeria. Think about it: Why do people who have been favoured to be in position where they are saddled with me sing the wealth of the society to better the lot of the people end up stealing? Many families broke away from poverty with pain and anger that they end up venting on the general public. Many in academia rose to academic success through poverty,societal denial and struggle. Many politicians became what they are today through class struggle and poverty. Many business owners became what they are today through tough wrestling with poverty. Many big conglomerates in Nigeria today are owned by people who one way or the other have tasted poverty. Above all,many leaders in Nigeria today have tasted one aspect of poverty and the other. Even many of those who brag to be weal...
