TODAY'S NIGERIA AND OUR FUTURE I have being pondering of late the cause my country Nigeria is taking, with the present captains, the prophesy of Paul the Apostle in 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 come to mind, that " in the last days perilous times shall come.  " For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  " Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  "Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;   " Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away"  Thank you Apostle Paul, for X-raying our present day Nigeria.  In present day Nigeria, there is no doubt that we live in the perilous time, very precarious days. The fact is that all Nigerians fall in one category of this perilous time: perpetrator or victim.      Those who are Covetous ( the corrupt ), tho

PRESIDENT JONATHAN AND THE MANDILA VIRTUE Now, the Christmas Day speech of President Jonathan inside the Church is creating ripples warranting a refutal by the Presidency on the aspect on terrorism. This would not have being necessary if the President allowed the Mandela Virtue to garnish his speech.  Among the Mandela virtue is to avoid speaking or responding with anger. And we all know that anger destroys good intention.   Another of the Mandela virtue is forgiveness, this was also lacking in the aforesaid speech. All these were provoked by the Obasanjo letter, the desire to revenge, retaliate or make a point. And I do not think that approach is solving any concern.   I maintain the view that if the Presidency view the Obasanjo letter as wrong or unbecoming of the Elder Statesman, the response of the President did not help matter, and it is true that 'two wrongs does not make a right' that is why the blame game is shifting to the media by the Presidency.   The country cannot

GOODLUCK JONATHAN RESPONSE TO OBASANJO'S LETTER. The president of Nigeria from the tone of his response letter and his attitude after his letter has shown that he took offense because of the Obasanjo letter. Because on Christmas Day in the Church he still referred to it by making  side talks after kneeling at the Church alter on National TV.       I know that one of the message of the commemoration of the birth of Christ is forgiveness and thereby looking forwarding to the future  with hope but this appears not appear to be the feelings of Mr. President on Christmas.    The handlers of the Commander - in - Chief  should help him to act as President in Office not one acted on the President. To me President Jonathan is the luckiest president who has a predecessor to counsel him in our history. He is lucky that Obasanjo was frank  in his letter to him. In my opinion Obasanjo letter is a Christmas gift that should have served as a compass for Mr. President. So good that Mr. President e

But she pulled herself together, joined the army, earned an accounting degree, and on leaving the army got a good job. Years later, her life spun out of control. She married a crack dealer and started using again. Then she and her husband were arrested together for selling crack.  The prosecutor offered her a plea deal that could have brought a 10-year sentence, but when she refused, he sought a mandatory sentencing enhancement based on her prior convictions.  So instead of perhaps being locked up for 10 years, she’s in for life, without parole. In the United States, federal drug defendants who won’t plead guilty pay dearly – if they go to trial they receive sentences that, on average, are
