Femi, no one should be surprised about the unravelling drama in politics. Most Nigerians are patient and they would rather ask God for intervention on issues they consider rather life-consuming.
Abdulmumin Jibrin is not alone in expository mission on corrupt practices in the National Assembly (NASS). Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State in the Sunday Sun July 17, 2016, page 31 stated that, “N2bn Youth empowerment fund, 500 vehicles disappeared under Jang.” And in the same edition on page 5, it was reported, “Explain your questionable wealth, Ize-Iyamu tells Oshiomhole.” So, it can be seen that the trend is being replicated beyond NASS.
And your call for more opening of can of worms is in line with spiritual modus operandi. So, more revelations of corrupt acts by the leadership class are expected; including some of them playing sainthood while they are worse than the ones they condemn. You will be shocked by the calibre of new culprits.

Dirty boxers
Good day, oh yes the washing of dirty boxers in the public by our representatives should continue. They should keep on the good works they are doing by showing us how they have been misrepresenting us all these years.
No wonder they can go to any length during election to be declared winners. I pray that as they keep on looting our common wealth that kidnappers will keep on going after their family members. Amen!

Burnt fingers
I totally agree that the allegations against Speaker Yakubu Dogara and co should be investigated. I am very sure they will all be exposed including Jibrin. They have dipped their hands in the cooking jar and their fingers must be burnt. Jubrin played the role of a saint during the Jonathan’s era but we now know their true colours.

Akinnola, Giwa-Amu: Two of a kind
The likes of Richard Akinnola and Gabriel Giwa-Amu are worthy of commendation for their efforts at touching lives of the needy generally. They are worthy of emulation by other privileged people.
Their attitude is linked to spiritual initiations and response to such by them. Definitely, there are some Nigerians who are wealthier than they are but are not spiritually inclined to touch other humans who need their help.
On the other side, bringing the story of widow of late Daily Newswatch’s Photo Editor into perception, it shows that future of media workers is not insulated against financial problems of their families; after due service to their media houses.
There are various ways of doing this one of which is the insurance system that pays specified buck sum, based on joint monthly contribution of worker and his employers at death or retirement of the worker. Such sum is paid to his chosen beneficiary stated in the requisite form relating to the transaction.
If such is not in vogue with media houses now, it should be adopted right away. The present should guarantee the future. That is the best mark of appreciation to a devoted and loyal worker by a fair and passionate employer. 08023632992
Christians should wake up
Thank you Femi. I read in Genesis where God told Ishmail (Haggar): “You will be against your people.” Christians should wake up.

What a nation!
What a nation! Preaching did not start today. The election is over and Eunice Olawale’s death is not good for our chief security officer’s profile. Such horrific scene played out in our nation’s capital, what a shame!
The northernisation agenda is real. It has been long since was nation was this regionally, ethnically and religiously divided. Politicians have played a big part in making sure we are divided to achieve their selfish goals.
Nigeria’s break-up is not too far from being accurate of what the USA predicted. The Niger Delta having been exploited for too long, for just one year Nigerians have seen the difference.
Look at how appointments are being made, eight out of 10 are for the North. President Muhammadu Buhari should better look back and re-consider some of his actions. We are not fools as they thought we are.
God bless Nigeria.

Re: Listen to elders
If Fulani herdsmen slaughter 200 southrners, they will not hear. But if Biafra boys sneeze, they will almost immediately and move into action.

Senseless killings
It is rather disturbing that since Buhari mounted the presidential saddle, senseless killings of southerners, either on political or religious ground, have been so rampant. And the saddest point is that to date, not one of the culprits has been arrested, arraigned before the court and sentenced to what CAN has asked them to?
Enough is enough. Recall the Fulani herdsmen’s killing and maiming across Nigeria and all Buhari said was that they were not as would be ceded to Fulani herdsmen, across Nigeria.
Are Nigerians dumb not to know what? He has promised to drown Nigerians in his “lagoon”. We are all waiting to see how that would be done. Religious war might be it. Let us wait and see.
God save Nigeria.
