Nigeria 2015: Are We Broke, Getting Broke or Going For Broke?

The news going round is that Nigeria is broke. I, for one, do not believe that fallacy. However, if the treasury is indeed empty or nearing emptiness, then what it means is that this happened because the government, this government and past governments had not exercised good fiscal, economic responsibility and management.

A LESSON FOR ALL NIGERIANS

Mubi, the biggest commercial town in Adamawa state, was thrown into chaos the day Boko Haram descended on them and the people found themselves running for their lives. The terrorists shot sporadically, killing a lot of people while those who could escape jumped into any available car to run to safety.

A Response to: "Transforming Ibadan – A Study in Resistance To Change" By Akintokunbo A Adejumo

Dear Mr Akintokunbo Adejumo,

Just stumbled on the above titled article you wrote, I think, sometime time in 2012, and I can't resist writing to give you kudos for a beautiful write-up that reflects the yearnings of those of us that were born and bred in Ibadan.(Though not 'son of the soil', as my parents are from Abeokuta and Awe).

I left Nigeria for Europe about twenty six years ago, and have since settled to live there, - but I do visit Nigeria about twice a year. I always look forward to the day my people will readily embrace modern positive changes similar to the ones I've been privileged to see in many major world cities you mentioned in your well written article. I hope and pray these changes we so dearly yearn for
will happen in our life time.

At the moment, you might sound like the proverbial lonely voice in the wilderness, but keep up the good work of creating awareness.

My kind regards to you and all yours,

Olumuyiwa Adeniyi

“Ex-Governor Storms Capital; Declares Intention to Return to Government House”

By the way, the above caption is mine. But I will not be surprised if many newspapers have this as their caption anytime.

Yes, former Governor of Oyo State, Otunba Dr Adebayo Alao-Akala “stormed” Ibadan, the Oyo State capital recently, 4^th September 2014, with thousands (I will actually say, hundreds) of his supporters (possibly rented-crowd or just plain deluded) driving crazily and in flagrant abuse of both traffic laws and public decency, in cars, motorcycles, vans and buses, waving flags (I even saw some with cutlasses and guns), accompanied by several police escorts all over Ibadan to declare his intention to return to the Government House, Agodi, Ibadan for a second time, or is it, third time?
