The Jobless Politicians – A Big Cause for Concern

A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Ghali Na’Abba, on Tuesday said he has been searching for job since he left the House in 2003. A member of the People’s Democratic Party, Na’Abba represented the Kano Municipal Federal Constituency of Kano State from 1999 to 2003 during the Olusegun Obasanjo regime.

He said, “In the last 11 years since I left the House of Representatives, I have been trying to find what to do. I have looked and considered various things to do professionally; I still have not come out with something. ………….” The Punch Newspapers. August 19, 2014 by Olalekan Adetayo

2. The wrong man lost, deservedly.

Nigerian students need to be disciplined: Interview with The Guardian

I recently granted an interview to The Guardian Newspapers to express my views on some aspects of student unionism and activism in the current political dispensation and socio-political environment.

Political Prostitution and Hypocrisy at its Best (or Worst)

What a sorry and disgusting state of affairs for our democracy in this country!

Mr Olagunsoye Oyinlola (the forever-playing golf lover, who ruined Osun State completely as PDP governor for almost 8 years before the court ejected him) has now dumped the PDP,( the party that made and then messed him up), and joined the ruling party in Osun State, the APC (the same party that fought a very bitter court battle to see him removed as governor 4 years ago).
