Professor Isa Hussaini of Faculty of Pharmacy University of Maiduguri wrote: The blame for what Nigeria has become falls on you and me. Not Buhari, not Jonathan, not Obasanjo and definitely not Abacha. Our wickedness stinks to the heavens as we go about our daily lives, pulling down everyone and everything to become rich. We import substandard products, fake drugs and expired baby food unfit for human consumption and we have the nerve to complain about leadership? We even steal from widows, orphans, and refugees. We take their food and sell it for profit. No conscience.a Nothing is sacred. No one is spared. We build substandard roads, schools, houses, hospitals, all for profit at the expense of human life;an invaluable item which all our profit and contract sum cannot buy. One would think this behavior is reserved for urchins but it would surprise you that this is the character of many decent looking people who appear to be normal but are not any better than Boko Haram members.

Many Landscapes have been so utterly transformed in so little time at the slice of South Eastern Nigeria called Abakaliki. The terrain itself, until a few decades ago, was mocked as “The Dust of the Nation.” Visitors who dared to venture into it ended with a bitter taste in the mouth.  Being an Abakaliki man was a mark of shame. The Abakaliki I knew could not even boast of one tarred road.  The state was lying prostrate in utter ruins orchestrated by long years of abject neglect and dehumanization. The result was that the pride of the Ebonyi man was bruised and battered and we simply faded to laughing stocks before our neighbors and contemporaries. Though Ebonyians have tested power from the hands of successive governments since it was carved out to exist as a state in 1996, the people had received very little in the way of any positive lasting legacy. Then came the Umahi magic 19 years down the line! Abakaliki, formerly a sprawling metropolis has floated to an arc

Some day posterity will pay homage to a group that resolved to challenge the status quo through a bloodless movement. A movement that is anchored on a vision to include the majority in the process. A movement that goes beyond the photo-ops and a reactionary urge to be heard, but a deep-seated, moral and just desire to be allowed to eat meals we help prepare. This drive is beyond the drivers. It's for a generation born and unborn. It's for a future that has perpetually been stretched. It's about fulfilling a promise that was made when we were infants. A promise that one day we will become the leaders of tomorrow. Today, we unify that promise by taking a definitive stand. Today, we say with one, unshaken and determined voice that: -If we are old enough to vote, we are definitely old enough to be voted for. - If we are old enough to bear the consequences of our actions, then we can bear that of leadership. - we are not dismissing the older block, but to have an inter

LETTER TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS! DEMOCRACY SAY MESSAGE! Throw Away That Degree Otherwise You Will Die Poor Most of the educated people in Nigeria are poor. Majority of the educated earn less than N55,000 for a salary before tax and other deductions. When the deductions are put into consideration, the net salary comes to around N50,000. The net salary then suffers from loan deductions of up to N15,000 leaving the salary at around N35,000. The landlord then demands for his N15,000 and monthly shopping takes away N10,000 leaving one with a N10,000. The bus will demand for N300 going to and from work and relatives get another N2,500. The whole salary is gone and borrowed money starts operating. The borrowed money includes short loans and salary advances. The difference between poverty and prosperity is property. A prosperous person has property to his name while a poverty stricken person has no property to show. Using this understanding, therefore, most of the degree holders are p
