Nobody would choose you, you have to choose yourself former President olusegun Obasanjo tells Nigerian youth

Former president olusegun Obasanjo spoke on
Saturday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, at the Youth Governance Dialogue organised to mark International Youth Day 2017.


Obasanjo, however, was quick to add that the youth who would occupy leadership positions in the country must have carved a niche for themselves through hard work.
Obasanjo, who warned that leadership is not just for
 the asking, but said youths have to work for it.
positions such as that of the president, governor, and National Assembly could be acquired but there has  to be a will for good governance .
He appealed to them to stop complaining and moaning.
Obasanjo said, “I joined politics from the top. The only position I contested for in Nigeria is the Presidency, but I had a track record of achievements, which led to that.
“Nobody will choose you; you have to choose yourself. Why should you have to become president at the age of 40? Why can’t you become president at the age of 35? Why can’t you become president at the age of 30?
He also called on Nigerian youths to be united, and to also contribute to the development of their fatherland.

“The point is this: how prepared are you? Are you really prepared?” he finally added. 

An analysis of the looming conditions of Nigeria




 Gone are the jolly good old days of Nigeria. The period of true nationalism amongst all and sundries ranging from tribes beliefs behaviour religion and culture


 Gone are the times of our founding fathers Sardauna, Awolowo and Azikwe

_Gone are the days where the country seem divided after the colonialism yet filled with its boom and potentials, only 3 sections were there in existence yet  they were known as the giant of Africa,
 dispersed but not in pandemonic diaspora, disunity or divisional disintegration
 harnessing its full potentials irrespective of culture,religion or tribe in harmonism without bigotry or fanatism._
Regions segmented into  

The Northern region
The Western region
The Southern region

Yet all went well and fine with mutual respect amongst those around the trio.

Looking back those time and days and equating a comparison with recent time i can not help but bring my self to tears


The Country is trying to withdraw to its past but in such a manner it would only revamp as a shadow of its horrific past

The country is moving back 'o bourke  to its looming past so to say a shadow of its past
Where there are those who claim to take it back to those times of integral amalgamation

Not the times of its simple yet peaceful,  diverse yet harmonized NORTHERN WESTERN AND SOUTHERN REGION AS ONE PROTECTORATE 

however the new inharmonious protectorate to be collated by Nigerians of present times are regionalized in the following trio


The secessionist are those who believe Nigeria has been a fallacy right from set and should be taking back to the era of tribes clans and individual settlement before even the coming of the whites, i call them the agitators e.g IPOB (independent people of Biafra) and their likes.

The unitarians however are those who still believe Nigeria can be re-formed even at its present state, they don't see dividing the country as the solution but believe with good leaders, mindset and intents all would be settled.

The Federalists on the other hand are those who think unless the en,tire system is overhauled, reviewed and recoupled only then would Nigeria be great
I call this group the restructures.


Who ever you are as a Nigerian i believe you fall under one of this groups.

Nigerians choose well we only have got this one large field as ours and if we make wrong choices then we would all suffer regrets together as this is the only land, plane, settlement or region however you may call it we have got to call our own.

Finally remember only orphans,widows,hunger,sickness and sufferings are re-births of war and it is only DEATH that has seen the end of WAR. 

Arise and wake up o Nigerians.

Kogi News:- Civil Servant Arraigned For Exposing Kogi Governor ’ s Abuja Residence


A civil servant is currently on trial in the
confluence state of Kogi after he exposed
images of the new residence of Governor
Bello.


A 32-year-old civil servant, Mr. Johnson Musa,
was on Friday dragged before a Lokoja Chief
Magistrates’ Court for allegedly threatening
and exposing the Abuja residence of Governor
Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.
Musa, an indigene of Dekina Local
Government Area of the state, was alleged to
have taken aerial pictures of the governor’s
Abuja residence with a drone camera and
posted them on social media.
He was said to have posted the pictures with
the caption, “This building is owned by an
individual in Kogi, where hunger is the first
name, in less than one year.”
The prosecuting counsel, Mohammed Abaji, a
senior legal officer with the state Ministry of
Justice, said Musa was arrested on Thursday
by men of the Department of State Services.
The action, Abaji said, had put the governor
and his family under threat and potential harm
to their property, urging the court to take
cognisance of the offence of cyberstalking
against the accused.


Musa pleaded not guilty to the offence and
his counsel, Williams Aliwo of Crystal
Chambers, orally applied for his bail in line
with section 36(5) of the constitution and
section 341(2) of the Criminal Procedure
Code.
Aliwo submitted that any order to remand the
accused in prison custody would amount to
punishing him ahead of the proof of his guilt,
adding that the accused would not jump bail
or try to escape justice if the bail conditions
were granted.
But the bail application was vehemently
opposed by Abaji on the grounds that an
investigation into the matter was ongoing
aside from the fact that the penalty attached
to the offence is 10 years’ imprisonment or an
option of a minimum of N25m fine.
In his ruling, the Chief Magistrate, Alhassan
Husaini, said by virtue of Section 36(5) of the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the presumption
of innocence of the accused was
constitutionally guaranteed.
Husaini granted the accused bail in the sum
of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum,
adding that the sureties must be resident
within the jurisdiction of the court.


To allay the fears of the prosecution counsel
over the inconclusive investigation, he ordered
that a register of attendance be opened at
the DSS office for the accused to report on
Monday and Thursday.
Husaini adjourned the case to August 17.
