OGUN NYSC FRAUD I am a serving corps member in Abeokuta,Ogun State.I was one of the corps members who participated in the just concluded general elections.I served under Abeokuta North Local Government Area.During the general elections,I would go from my house where I stayed at a very far distant to the INEC Office at Akomoje in the same Local Government.I would sleep on the floor outside with my colleagues till the following morning of the execise even though it was never comfortable with us throughout the whole period.We all believed the exercise was a national assignment for us despite the fact that a meagre amount of money was attached to it. To our amazement,NYSC collected the money from INEC under the disguise that we would be paid for the money we had worked for.The money has not being paid till now.Those who received alert from their banks were not credited according to their efforts.NYSC said we should come and clarify our names with them so as to know the number of times we participated in the elections.So many of us who participated in all the four elections discovered that our names reflected once,twice or not all.I FELT LIKE CRYING FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT ON THE PART ON THE NYSC OGUN STATE.PLEASE AND PLEASE HELP US TO MAKE THIS PUBLIC BECAUSE THIS IS A CHEAT ON HUMANITY AND WE ARE PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF GOOD PEOPLE GREAT NATION.IT IS QUITE UNFAIR

Common Yinka Odumakin.Aren't you the campaign man for the all-round defeated ret.Buhari, the saint?You've boasted that Nigeria will turn up-side down if election was stolen. Whao! Votes weren't stolen,a peaceful election indeed.Can you now see that we're right thinking Nigerians. With your Oga's over one million votes in Kano,where are you on the stratum of the ladder of winning?Go and bury your head in shame and guide your tongue.

I believe,that Yinka Odumakin campaign man for presidential candidate Buhari should be in jail by now for vomiting the rubbish,that if the coming election is stolen from the people in a sokoto campaign rally that ,this will be another Tunisia,Egypt and Yemeni combined.When elected officials use words like this,I wonder when our country will get to a point wherein we call them out and possibly prosecute them.

President Goodluck Jonathan, You can fool some people some days, but you can't fool all the people all the time. MR. PREDIDENT, let Akwa Ibomites decide their governor. Don't impose Gov. Godswill Akpabio on us. President Goodluck Jonathan's popularity is going down by the day. He is being dragged down by Obasanjo. Now Godswil Akpabio has finally finished him using Udoedehe issue. I knew from time that Goodluck does not have the capacity to rule this country. He only does what his adviser Obasanjo is telling him. No, President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP has to go. Enough of this injustice in a political dispensation. What has PDP got to offer. Their administration has been from time characterized with corruption,assassination, injustice and government arranged tribal and religious fights. How can a political president watch police enter inside the court room to arrest and also slap a former senator of the federal republic of Nigeria. It is generally known that people seek refuge in courts and churches protection. SSS are arresting ACN supporters all over the country. The other day Barr. Francis Effanga was arrested by SSS that he spoke against Mr. President. That's to say with Goodluck Jonathan Obasanjo, no freedom of speech. Requested for the arrest of all ACN officials in Akwa Ibom State. What an injustice because they have seen a useless governor that is ready to throw our State location on them. Who ever that's planning to vote's Goodluck Jonathan or any PDP candidates in this coming election needs a psychiatric evaluation. For Godswill Akpabio, his days are numbered. If I were him, he should be think of were to run to. We are not fools, we are part of the same society they are trying to fool us with. Simple political Arithmetic for Goodluck Jonathan. The northerns are planning for a block vote for Buhari. ACN will surely take over the south. Were will your vote and PDP come from. The initial plan in Akwa Ibom State as rightly requested by Obong Victor Attah was to vote out that murderer called Godswill Akpabio while Goodluck gets the votes for presidential elections. But singular act of using your power to intimidate opposition parties. Its over. The vote is now Sen. John Udoedehe for Governor, Buhari for president. If God is God, none of you will go un punished. The punishment shall go down your family. Remember the case of Sani Abacha. We had our knees to the ground and called God. He answered our prayers. That same God is here with us and he will raise and act. RED card to PDP. Say No to Goodluck Jonathan, No to corrupt PDP government!, No to police IG.

Why is school fees in our academic institutions skyrocketing? Must Nigeria citizens pay exhorbitantly for services dat are almost free in neibouring countries? HIGH PHCN BILL, HIHG FUEL PRICE, HIGH TUITION FEE HIGH TAX, just to mention a few. Yet no job opportunities & no sustainable policies to encourage small scale investments. PLS WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT IN A COUNTRY?

Mr. President Sir, I read from dailies that most of our sons in diaspora are desperate to vote in the April elections in Nigeria. May I suggest that a Bill be sponsored to allow our sons and daughters to have a voting right during elections. This might sound funny to many but is a fact that should be taken seriously.

Why would Gov.Fayemi of Ekiti State allow some selfish leader in the party to dictate the pace at which the primaries for the National Assembly be conducted in Ekiti Central.Again for the second time,delegates could not vote in Irepodun/Ifelodun LGA, when the returning officer made away with the voting materials.Pls Mr Gov can you exercise you power bearing in mind how you fought for your victory and HOW MUCH you believe and uphold democratic principles.Our leader should search their conscience and allow the vote of the people to count.Remember, that ACN launched the campaign for "ONE MAN ONE VOTE". LONG LIVE ACN,LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

Nigerians want only a leader who would make us to work; make us to use what we have to get what we want. Then and only then will Nigeria begin to develop to nationhood,and we shall begin to have a sense of pride. Therein lie the genuine popularity of, Late General Murtala and the duo Generals Buhari and great late Idiangbo.

It is only a demonetised political system that can guarantee a true metaphorical political progression; if you want to know true leaders, take away money from them. Olowomeye Olanrewaju

rebranding in nigeria political branding In my opinion, nigeria needs 7 rather than 1 president for an effective decisive action against our one avow enemy, CORRUPTION! Rather than creation of more states lets re-group our 36 states into 6 State Areas of 6 states each. A president for each and an overall President General for the country. The idea is to re-organize the natural wealth of the nation, First, we identify the 6 relatively richer states. Select other states such that no 2 states in any State Area share adjacent boundary. Merge poor and rich states together into 6 groups. Equal federal allocation for each State Area to be distributed by each president almost equally among the states with the richer ones getting a bit more. The richer states would receive more Federal presence in them than others for a compensation. This arrangement would operate for a period until more or else even development would have spread across the country. Then we consider a re-shuffling of the country back into 12 States-UNITED STATES of NIGERIA - USN. This way, in summary, we would see the end of hitherto,intimidating enemy of Nigeria- corruption. THE ABOVE IS 'IN A NUTSHELL'. DETAILS OF ITS MERITS AND DEMERITS SUBSEQUENTLY IF NECESSARY.

Mr Fashola, you have received numerous praises for you plans for Lagos state, some have gone as far as describing your style of problem solving with that of Engineers. I for one will not like to knock a man who appears to be doing something. However I have a problem with the fact that Ajengule remains untouched, roads are still experiencing flooding and children are still being born in bar beach shanty town, children are being recruited into our commercial sectors as opposed to being in school. In developed countries, they have laws strictly prohibiting child labour and parents face criminal sanctions if their children are not in school during school hours or term. We need to get ourselves away from the basic infrastructures to which people can see, and move to providing social welfare for the children. You are being called a technocrat at the moment, I say that accolade is now obsolete, you need to provide such infrastructure that will promise the unborn child in Lagos, that you are worthy in history books not simply as a governor that repaired roads and built mega city for the rich, but as the revolutionary whose ideology of change marvelled the world and rewrote Nigeria's history
