The shame of a State A visit to the Chairman Ekiti State Chamber of Commerce, Chief Akosile in his office and a subsequent joint tour of Fountain Hotels Complex Ado Ekiti where the Ekiti Chamber of Commerce is located has further revealed the level of mis-governance that took place in Ekiti State in the last four years. During our visit, we were confronted with the sordid state of facilities in Fountain hotels from the reception to the “frog pool” and the environment. It was mentioned that outgoing Governor Ayodele Fayose shut down the hotel allowing the facility to degenerate.…

RAJI-RASAKI TAKU!!!!!!!!!! With a posture reminiscent of the inglorious AKINTOLA TAKU scenario during the protracted Action Group crisis in the nation’s first republic, Senator (Mrs) Fatima Raji-Rasaki is hell bent on subverting the mandate and popular wishes of APC leaders and teeming members of Ekiti Central Senatorial District who came willingly in their thousands to vote massively for Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (M.O.B.) on Friday, 5th October, 2018. Despite the very wide margin between Hon. Bamidele (60,823) and Senator Raji-Rasaki (3,289) in the widely applauded, free and fair direct primaries, Madam Raji-Rasaki has stormed the APC National Secretariat pressurising the…
National Assembly resumed without the much anticipated drama of leadership change. It was an anti-climax to the threats of impeachments ahead of Tuesday’s resumption. I gathered that lawmakers resolved to shealth their swords to pursue national interest. Even though APC still has the simple majority in both chambers, the question is whether or not lawmakers(especially those who have lost out in the primaries) were still interested in the quest to remove Saraki and Dogara

At the closing of Paul Biya (Swiss-based Cameroonian President since 1982) Campaign yesterday….. 85-year-old Paul Biya shared sardine, can milk, condoms, shoes, bread, bags of rice, goats for votes for his 7th term ambition. Even the goat has a party uniform. I think Samuel Eto’o should do the George Weah there if no one has the balls too, after all; he played the ball. Lol True leadership is Africa’s greatest challenge.
Look at students in a Public School in Lagos. Are taxpayers not paying enough to give these students a proper class? See that one not even paying attention.
