Trump haunted by his failure

-

Reports have it that the United States President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania are down with the Coronavirus. Both have been quarantined and receiving treatments. 

It's unfortunate, but a really sordid prove of his foolhardiness!


Consistently defying Covid-19 safety protocols and flagrantly refusing to wear face mask even against professional medical advice, thereby setting a bad precedence to his countrymen, Donald Trump has contracted the coronavirus.


Donald Trump, who initially in the early wave of the pandemic, downplayed the seriousness of the disease has been forced to swallow his ignorance that consistently fanned his rather weak gusto of the denial of reality. The delayed management of the disease caused the deaths of dozens of thousands of Americans.


And while the virus rampaged along, bringing down millions of Americans down and as the death toll rose, Donald Trump fiddled along, dancing amidst the confusion of denial and engaging the people in openly crowded campaigns without recourse to the simple yet necessary precautions of wearing masks and observing social distancing!


Quickly, he has been proven. He has whether wittingly or inadvertently led so many to contract the disease obviously by his failure of leadership.


His contracting of the virus, as against eliciting excitement, should teach him a lesson; the lesson that everything is not about mundane ideology and trivial sentiments.


The world is ravaged by the flying pandemic and the least thing world leaders could do is to trivialize it. The action must be decisive and upfront to deal with the trauma. And Donald Trump as the president of the United States must take a lead.

Circa 2022: Time for a New Beginning

Did you buy that car, land or house you hoped to get in 2021? Did you acquire that visa, wife, job or contract you had dreamt to have in 2021? Did you loose that weight, gained that body, achieved that look or shape you set out to have at the beginning of the year 2021? For some others, there are endless list of plans they'd envisaged to achieve as the year 2021 begun. Did you achieve them? Kudos! If you did not achieve them, don't bother and don't get demoralized. Even as the year gave opportunity to grow, it was similarly and very visibly traumatic: the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanied effects of recession, inflation and economic summersaults continued to have their biting effects on almost every sphere. It is quite understandable. Nonetheless, your being alive is enough assurance that you could achieve them in the new year, 2022; and you'd so do if you're willing to trust the process and try again. Clutch them along and move with them, but this time around a

Year End: The Crossroad of a New Year

-

The ending of a year brings a binary fusion of emotions: that of stocktaking and that of expectations. The year is ending, so it's essentially right to look back and take an appraisal of what the year ending has turned out for the individual. At the same time, the year rolling out, is obviously an indication that a new one is being launched, hence it'll also be right to make plans and designs of how the new year is to be approached. Credit: Shutterstock The year 2021 began with many of us clutching tightly our expectations and plans already and willing to execute them. Many of us made resolutions, be they financial, spiritual, personal- all geared towards making us better versions of ourselves and contributing effectively to our spheres of influence. Indeed, 2021 afforded us the rudimentary 365days to make do with the plans/aspirations we had in it; and it's within this period, as it winds down, that it becomes incumbent to check and analyse our victories, failures and near

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-

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
