Don’t Pray For Nigeria, Pray For…

Our society may never progress if we continue to live in deception … praying for our leaders when actually we are the problem.

Speed, Jonathan, Speed!!!

President Goodluck Jonathan

Despite his promise of “hitting the ground running,” President Jonathan’s government has refused to move, not even an inch to the right direction. This, among other unfulfilled promises, may ridicule his administration, unless he moves with high speed.

I got to the Aso Rock Villa that evening, soaking in my surroundings; now at a close range, I noticed his big nose, on top of that sweet Ijaw smile of his. And I woke up…it was a dream…I was sweating, not sure if it was a malaria bout or the fact that there was no light and the weather was hot…Life and its dreams.

A New Dark Age of Terror

Confronting Boko Haram’s insurgency could be a long struggle. But with decisive government action and massive development to make life more comfortable for a common man, Nigeria can break the jinx.
