Diezani Is ill by Kola Ola Olaniran

-


She had everything at her beck and call. She was dining with kings, she was feasting with queens, she was partying with princes and she was reveling with princesses. 




She was a paragon of beauty with shining skin, rosy cheeks, sexy and dazzling eyeballs, soft lips, natural hunch shoulder, well-padded hips, well-structured body.... name it, she had it all-naturally endowed. 





Once you looked at her, you wouldn't want to keep your eyes off her. Because of her, men had become neck twisters and neck breakers. If she passed by you, you would want to twist your neck to take a look at her again and again. 



Someone once put her beauty in alphabetical order of adorable, beautiful, colorful, delectable, elegant, flamboyant, glamorous and gorgeous.....zestful. 



She was given the juiciest appointment of petroleum Minister in the former government of ex president Goodluck Jonathan and she was alleged to have stolen about 9 billion US Dollars which means if her wealth was made official, the Forbes would have declared her the richest black woman in the world. 



Sadly today, she's paling into obscurity. The once most powerful figure among fellow ministers in Nigeria, Mrs Diezani Allison-Madueke is terminally ill, stricken with cancer of the breast. The sickness started when she was in office but every attempt to make it public was covered up. Some newspapers and online journals carried the reports of her illness but she dismissed them as "TT" (tabloid trash) and offline journal trash. 




When allegations of financial impropriety came up, all efforts to interview her met with brickwall but finally the boss of The BOSS, Mr Dele Momodu had an interview with her in London where she revealed that she is indeed sick and not just sick, she is down with cancer of the breast.


Since then Nigerians of all walks of life have rolled out their sense of humanity and acts of kindness praying for her recovery. We all know that when wealth is lost, not much is lost but when health is lost, all is lost. Please pray for Diezani, no matter what she might have done wrong, there's no reason to gloat over other people's misfortunes but wait! did l hear someone say pray for the recovery of the huge money 


she was alleged to have stolen too because no one takes money to heaven. We brought nothing into the world and we will go with nothing.

Tinubu’s Accurate Twelve-Year Old Prediction On Oil Subsidy Removal by Farooq Kperogi

  Bola Tinubu  On January 11, 2012, Bola Ahmed Tinubu published a sober, thoughtful, deeply insightful, and penetratingly foresightful article titled “Removal of Oil Subsidy: President Jonathan Breaks Social Contract With the People” that uncannily prefigured the untoward consequences of petrol subsidy removal that Nigerians are currently grappling with. The article has trended on social media in the last couple of weeks, but I had never taken the trouble to read it until multiple people who I regard highly sent it to me in what seemed like a coordinated torrent of forwards. But after reading the 4,000-plus-word article and finding out that it predicted the current petrol-subsidy-removal mass excruciation Nigeria is suffering with almost mathematical exactitude, I became suspicious of its authenticity. It was too good to be true. My incredulity compelled me to make inquiries, which led me to realize that the Nigerian Tribune had actually fact-checked the genuineness of the article on M

Bola Tinubu’s Road To Perdition: by Kola Ola Olaniran

Kola Ola Olaniran .  What we have today is HausaFulani Republic masquerading as the Federal Republic of Nigeria where other regions are run like conquered colonies. Years ago, a self-acclaimed custodian of the Hausa Fulani hegemonic agenda stormed the Agodi Government House Ibadan uninvited. This unruly and not so composed Mohammadu Buhari was livid with anger as he unleashed his brazen effrontery to ask Governor Lam Adesina, “why are your people killing my people?” instead of, “why are Nigerians killing their fellow Nigerians? It took a well-composed Governor Adesina diplomatic wisdom to calm Buhari’s frayed nerves down over his crude way of addressing the clash between herdsmen and farmers in Oke Ogun area of Oyo State at that time. Can Bola Tinubu, a self-acclaimed asiwaju of Yoruba$land invoke the same audacity to ask Mohammadu Buhari, “Are we running a Banana Republic, “why are all key federal appointments given to only your people?” “What is this rubbish going on especially with

  Prof Akin Adesina Charismatic and ebullient African Development Bank President, Professor Akin Adesina has tasked the governments across the globe especially African countries on the social contract between society and government. Speaking at the Chatham House, the policy center for global affairs in London, Adesina highlights the importance of government playing its roles while enforcing compliance with citizens paying taxes.  He emphasized that the government has a responsibility to provide infrastructure to the people with the taxes they pay. If the the people play their parts paying their taxes, the government owes them a responsibility to play its own part by providing basic necessity of good roads, potable water, good hospitals, adequate security and so on. Adesina berates the situation where an individual has to fix his own road, provide his own borehole, electricity with solar power, provides his own security and still pay taxes to the government that abdicates its own respon
