Oh Come, Let Us Chat The Way Forward

"From our thoughts we spew out the workable solutions of the problems which by our selfsame thoughts have held us stagnant."-Anonymous

Indeed, by conversation, we are consciously able to build ourselves and society. Hence, it is with a profound sense of warmth and that of great optimism that I invite you all to this forum. It is a medium contrived out of a seething desire, out of a ferocious wish. It is the wish to inspire a widespread desire for the needed change we yearn for a prosperous and an egalitarian society anchored on the very basis of values, of appreciable commitments.

I emplore all to see this platform as a forum to bare it all that concerns great initiatives, lofty ideas and sublime efforts that seek to foster growth, in mind and heart, of individuals who themselves would become the engineers of a stronger and more virile society.

When we engage ourselves in earnest discussions that seek to find the true intents of the mind, we are encouraged to express our wishes and contributions towards the very issue that demands our deliberation. But be that as it may, it is upon a specific issue or many issues presented that our senses of rational exploration comes into play. An issue must be at stake, a topic must be in the front burner that would call us forth to the round table of discourse;  and really it must be initiated by someone or some persons.

In this platform, I seek to be that inspiring element that brings to the front burner the idea that would call us all to a committed effort in devising the necessary avenues for resolution to our menace. By it also, I seek to offer the font necessary to take our society and immediate communities to the higher pedestal. It is in achieving this that I sought out into this venture, and it is to solicit for your support to keying into this idea of being effectively involved in the conscious deliberation towards societal good that this medium has come to be.

Thus, with all earnestness I call on all to come home and let us discuss, sincerely and critically, our ways into solutions that our social, economic and political institutions dearly crave. I bid you come home, and may you find it worth the while coming home to contribute effectively and efficiently.

Great having you around, anytime.

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-
Image
Very applauding, it was, to hear of the news of the resignation of the minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun. It's very commendable because it is one act very rare in this our clime. It just seems that the penchant for relevance and money has denied the vast majority of the people that essential sense of integrity. That denial is one that has brought about the desire to cling unto power even in the midst of opprobrious criticism to just step down. We've had several instances were public officials formed deaf ears to scathing allegations against their persons and offices until some powers force them out. The case of the erstwhile SGF, Babachir remains atypical.  One can now understand why Kemi's step is such remarkable and verily one that needs to be commended. But the truth is that, as easily obtained in the western world, taking an exit when the heat is on and there's suspicion here and there is but a natural thing. This is to say, even as much as we could appreci...

WTO: The Issue With Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's Nomination

-
I've been keenly following the developments as regards nominations for the position of the Director General of the World Trade Organization, WTO, especially as its concerns the general ratification by the African regional body, AU, to field a consensus candidate. In doing that I've looked at the nomination of Fred Yunov Agah and the eventual substitution with Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (NOI) by Nigeria, together with the dissension by Egypt, a contender in the forthcoming WTO election and a top interested party in the choice of Africa Union consensus candidacy. I have looked at it critically from three widely separate angles of national patriotism, independent objectivity and in the light of regional sense of justice. At a point, I sought to be overwhelmed by the flying influence of one over the others- that of having to view at the stronger propensity in standing a robust change internationally to clinch this post by Nigeria, in the event of NOI staying as a nominee.  That advantage ...

EndPoliceBrutality: Time for National Reforms

-
  Nigerian youths finally have decided it's time they took the bull by the horns in giving direction to the future they desire. With the launch of the endsars movement which was focused as an onslaught against long tales of incidences of police brutality, the demand has serenaded to an emphatic demand for good governance, good economic programs and extensive national rebirth. The #EndSARS protest which commenced on the 7th of October within the major cities of Lagos and Abuja, was specifically meant to send a message to the government that the SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) unit of the Nigeria police have shown to not be only irresponsible but wicked, having totally strayed from their responsibility to protect the people and maintain law and  order and has instead turned to be inhuman, barbaric and monsters against the same people they're meant to protect. They had at such in expressing their bulging anger of many years taken to the streets, having boldly as their immediate...
