CHANGE

             
            Change according to free encyclopaedia mean - PROCESS OF BECOMING DIFFERENT.
This can mean different things to different people and taking different forms and such is found in the Nigerian political terrain when one of the two major political party chose the word 'CHANGE'  as its mantra in campaigning for the last election.

The 'change' mantra was so loud that it won the mind of most Nigerians which was obvious in the last election result. Finally, the CHANGE is here, the CHANGE has come and it begins wit ME, YOU, US . . .
Nigeria needs change and the roles we have to play are not far fetched.
let Hope takes the form of certainty, and hard work be the new religion

Are we ready for this change because its much more than paying lip service!
Our process of change should include:-
- Proper accountability from public office holders and government agencies/institutions.
- Effective power generation, transmission and distribution.
- Due process in the award and execution of contracts.
- The law should be for everyone and not just the masses.
- Above all, the love of country before self.

let the wheels of change begin its journey.

Quick Fix

Morning Nigeria,
Guess there is little to smile about despite NUPENG and PENGASSAN calling off their strike and banks sending mails to customers that they are back to full scale activities.
Going forward, we need a short term plan to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians. One of such is the MODULAR REFINERY.
This venture creates a readily available quantity of crude oil products.

Words have it that Nigeria already signed a memorandum of understanding with an American company to build 6(six) modular refineries whose combined output will be 180,000 barrels a day.
In the US-Nigerian joint venture comprising Vulcan Energy Corp and Petroleum refining and strategic reserve ltd, the MoU is reported to cost 697.5Billion naira.
N.B It's over a year now and  No update on this joint venture because it is believed that in 12months we should be commissioning 2 of the 6 modular refineries.

Now we need a modular refinery to help bridge the scarcity.

Way to go

Corpers and the Church

      National Youth Service Corps dispatched several corps members today 25/04/2015 after 3weeks of camping. Thus,the next ten months could either be a good one or ...
Indulge me with the good memories!

If your orientation camp was in the north,then you are more likely to find shelter in the church and this is where the transformation begins.
     You soon realize you have a role to play in the church for the shelter you have been provided with and God being God, He naturally makes you useful regardless of your person unless...
I have experienced and listened to tales of corpers exploits in states like Kano, Jigawa, kaduna, Katsina, Bauchi etc.

Some already have their names engraved in the minds of the church because of the good works they did.


Now is your turn to serve God and country.

Play it out well.

NFF and Nike

Nigeria via its football federation signed a new deal with sport wear giant,Nike.

Here is what we don't understand:-

- what is the duration of the contract : three and a half years or five (5)years?

- why did the new board led by Amaju Pinnick decided not to carry along the marketing department of the NFF which claimed to have initiated and reached an agreement though subject to negotiation (for provision of jerseys and retainership) with Nike ?

- why are there claims that the Adidas deal was far better than this new deal with Nike?

- Is Nigeria now a lost brand that we can't even get retainership from sportwear outfits?





Voice on the street.

Questions

         Heads up, just trying to prepare for the future...

-when will Nigeria be able to manage itself competently?

-why do the cabals have so much power and influence?

-what will be the final pump price of PMS when this pseudo-subsidy/inflation is removed?

-why are the marketers demanding for total payment of their outstanding with the federal government?

-why did Amaju Pinnick sign a ridiculous Nike deal for Nigeria?

-when will salaries be increased to cater for the inflation being experienced?

- when will the health/education sector stop going on  strike?

When will I get answers to my questions?

Last sunday

Good morning world.
Today happens to be like every other sunday but in Nigeria, it's a special one because it's the last one for the GEJ administration.
Thus, governors,LG chairmen,senators and Rep members albeit those that were re-elected will be vacating their offices.
So, it's time for reflections with a millions questions.
My major worry is this : Since independence, we have shown gross incompetence to manage ourselves and the resources. How long further can we afford this wastage.

Succinctly put,
We are always dancing along the borderline of disaster which can only mean...nvm.

Time to pray.

Subsidy explanation.

State of the nation.24/05/2015

This fuel scarcity is getting too messy.
Marketers have decided to hold the entire country to ransome over unpaid monies.
Power generation has dropped to <2000MW.

Heaven, Nigeria needs a hug right now.
