Why banning GOKADA?


Why did government allow people to invest in bike hailing service when they know it will be proscribed?

Look at the number of people that will be out of jobs. We don't have to politicise everything, how many jobs has government provided in the last 5 years.

I understand the menace caused by undocumented bike operators, but we don't have to throw away the bath water and the baby.

What government should do is to further regulate their operations.

Accident and insecurity are two major reasons why government is taking this decision.

To reduce insecurity, only license and documented bike should be allowed to ply the highway.

Government policy should have human face and it should be balanced.
Has government thought about security implications of sending multitude out of jobs?

We have enough security issues to contend with, no one should add more.


Tithe and Offering.

Sometimes, I ponder about our existence as human and what is our primary objective of being here. Jesus Christ came with the message of salvation.

Salvation of our souls is the prequisite to seeing God. The gospel can be spread if children of God are willing to spend their resources to advance its course.

Bible teaches us to sow, he that sow bountifully shall reap bountifully and vice versa.

Should given now become the basis for entry heaven?

Tithing and offering is necessary, Is it mandatory?

I have two pastors that I admire and worship under them.They have divergent views on this issue.

Can someone tell me expressly that without paying tithe heaven is not in view?

Are we all confused?

Bans of Okada in Lagos.

I watched with amazement how three Okada riders ran away hurriedly from the hands of mobile policemen  from Lagos State Task Force that laid siege for them.

There had been clamp down on motorbikes operators in a bid to enforce traffic laws. Most of the impounded bikes are destroyed by the authority.

The attendant effect of this sanitation exercise may spell doom.Some of these operators who have been earning legitimate income may now be force to go the way of crime.


Should Lagos State government continue , many youths will add to already swell unemployed list.

One of the reasons why government is taking this initiatives is to reduce accident on our roads, also to bring to the barest minimum level of insecurity.

Government should not just ban Okada and go to sleep, they should also ensure everyone that this policy or law would affect negatively be catered for.

Job creations is sacrosanct, when people are engaged, crime rate will automatically dropped.

What is federal government doing about fixing power situations in our country.Some of these Okada riders are skilled in one trade or another, but because of erratic power supply they could not practice their trade.

So, government should wake up to his responsibility.

My take on Death Penalty passed on Maryam Sanda

Sometimes I don't agree with proponents of death penalty. She became hysterical after pronuncement of death sentence on her by the presiding judge. The story of Maryam Sanda is touching and one would have wished it never happened.

In a fit of anger, she lacerated the hubby with broken bottle, the outcome of the vicious attack sent the husband packing .

The husband is dead, if she is unlucky at both appellate and Supreme Court, she will face hangman noose

What would now be the fate of only child the union produced? Someday the story will be told to her how her mother killed the father and how government killed his mother.

Death penalty should be applied cautiously.I hope appellate court will overrule High Court and commute the sentence to jail terms.


PHIL THOMPSON: MY WORSHIP

Tribute to Kobe Bryant .

Though, I am not a basketball fan and not until after his exit from the planet earth that I got to know about Bryant Kobe .

The late Bryant was killed in a helicopter accident that also killed his daughter and crew members.

He was said to be a man of many paths, a cultural icon and investors

Painful exit.

May his soul rest in peace



14'year Old survive furnace .

A 14 year old Almajiri boy survival in an oven chamber must have been a miracle.

The allegation that he stole a loaf of bread made his boss kept him in an oven chamber as a punitive measure for detterence.

Thank God, he is alive to tell the story and the boss will be prosecuted.

Treatment of  children with disdain and violence should be discontinued .

When people think they could get away with any criminal act, they tend to misbehave

Law should take it's course in this case 

Who killed Abdul Fatai Oko Okoyun.?

Insecurity has reach a frightening dimension.

Assassination of popular trado-medical personnel Fatai Oko oloyun on his way to Oyo is worrisome.

Just a couple of weeks ago Emir of Potiskum entourage was waylaid and six people were killed.

Investigation is on-going, we only hope killers of Mr Fatai will be arrested and prosecuted.

Government should up their games, countless lives has been lost by criminals.

Though, there is no society that is crime free, some measures should be put in place to reduce to the barest minimum crime rate.

Those that killed the trado medical
man have succeeded in killing many breadwinners, people that feed directly and indirectly under him.

It is a matter of time, they will pay for their evil deeds.








Why we need to downplay money politics.

Former distinguished senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district has been in the news lately.

He was ready to slug it out with a newspaper who reported that he had just completed multi million naira mansion.

Without any iota of doubt, Our politicians are wealthy.The reason is because our democracy is the most expensive in the world.

What an average politicians earn will pay civil servants salary for a life time.

The anomalies have not been corrected.

Poverty level is alarming, this culminates into increase in crime rates and violence.

If Some of the ill-gotten resources could be properly appropriated, life will be more meaningful for the masses.

Accountability, probity should be watch word of people that leads us.

Anti-corruption agencies should also be on top of their games.

Until we address the issue of corrupton and downplay money politics, our circumstances as a country may not likely change.

Slain CAN chairman in a better place.


Did you remember his face? He was the captured Christian Association of Nigeria chairman by Boko Haram.

The insurgent has done their worst.They could kill the body not the soul.

While people are mourning his exit, he is rejoicing with heavenly saint.

Oh when the saint oh marching in.

May his soul rest in peace.

Abule Egba Fire explosion again !



Vandals at it again.

This is not the first time Abule Egba would be experiencing fire outbreak as a result of vandals activities.

Past explosions claimed many lives of both vandals and innocent people.

The questions begging for answer is this: Who are the people saddle with responsibility of protecting the pipelines?

Should we also conclude that because of poverty people could endanger their lives and others by blowing up the pipelines for economic reasons.

We can not continue to entertain vandals, they are enemies of the state and they have to be treated as such.

Health care delivery

A senior medical professor lost his life in an hospital due to lack of cannula after he was involved in an accident.

It was the First Lady that reprimanded Aso Rock clinic management for not having essential medical equipment and drugs.

This explains the reason why our leaders travel abroad for medicals.

It is pathetic and requires urgent attention.
Health care delivery is key.Life expectancy of average citizen who could not go abroad should improve.

E.F.C.C SWOOP ON YAHOO BOYS IN IBADAN



Where is Club 360 in Ibadan? E.F.C.C operatives are working tirelessly to end financial crimes.

They swoop on clubbers and got many of them arrested. Financial crimes is rampant among youths that think the only way they could live large is by swindling innocent individuals who have succumb to their deceit.

Government inability to provide jobs for the teeming youths should not be enough justification why young schools leaver should engage in crime.

EFCC should frisk the culprits and bring those that are culpable to justice.



Future has disappear!

Our fore fathers worked very hard to build Nigeria.
They fought tooth and nails to position our country among comity of nations.
Once upon a time, there was a glowing future for citizenry.
Graduates find jobs easily, standard of educationon is very high.
Now, they said our graduates are unemployable.
There are no more jobs! Many factories due to unfavorable government policies are shutting down.
Where now is the future our ancestors work harder for?
It has disappeared

150 million people homeless worldwide.

Statistics has shown that at least 150million people are homeless worldwide.

Homelessness has been a long time problems and it is caused by many factors among which is poverty and mental health issues.

Government may solve the problem of homelessness by reducing poverty via job creations.

Mental health challenges also required immediate attention to be nip in the bud.

Affordable accommodation for all.

Who are those condemning South West security Initiatives .

Attorney General of Federation, Abubakar Malami may have to retract his statement about establishment of Western Region security initiatives called Amotekun

What is important to an average Nigerians is assurance that their security is guaranteed.

Whatever constitutions says is immaterial, whether it is in exclusive list or inclusive list it does not matter.

What matters is that people should be able to travel from Ibadan to Ife without fear of bandits on the highway .

Utterances that could heat up the polity should be ignored.

Let us say NO to Suicidal tendencies.

Every passing day somebody commits suicide.Why? Everybody will die someday, why are they in a hurry.

Depression is real, but should we allow what we don't have, what people are saying or lack of "achievements" to make us take irreversible decision

We have seen rich men that have become poor, we have seen mothers of many children who had become barren again.

Please encourage someone who is suicidal around you.It is not over until it is over.

Say no to Suicidal tendencies.

Why blaming Oyedepo for sacking corrupt officials?



Tongue wagged after Bishop Oyedepo relieved some church officials of their duties for misappropriating some money.

Honestly, things have really gone bad. Those who kicked against their removal are not fair.

Should we encourage stealing because it is God money?

Values have gone to the dogs.

Decadence in our clans has reach crescendo, there is need for intervention.



President Daughter has the right to.......




May be after now, we will need to put certain issues in the right perspectives.

Should member of first family have access to some things like cars and aircraft that belongs to the presidency.

There was a strong disapproval in some quarters after president Buhari daughter used the presidential jet.

I think we should be more concerns about more serious developmental issues.

Trivial issues such as this should be ignored.Let us discuss how government will provide jobs for the teeming unemployed youths so that at least they can travel in public transport.




Leave My Husband Alone.


Some women could not stand their husband cheating on them.

Her approach to stopping the lady from seeing her husband may not deter her from seeing him.

Fighting in the public is a breach of law, any act  that disturb public peace is  punishable.

I think the woman whose husband was '' snatched" will need to undergo some courses on emotional intelligence.

I salute the calmness of the other woman.

Every woman should take care of their husband to avoid telling story that touches.





Operation Amotekun has come to stay.

Photos: Operation Amotekun set to launch in Ibadan

Zero tolerance to crimes. Operation Amotekun will see  to it that South West region are adequately protected.

Spate of kidnapping in the South West has been alarming..It is a proactive steps that has been taken to reduce the ranks of criminals.

Many high profiles kidnapping has been recorded in the South West.

Every other regions should borrow a leaf from governors in the south western region.There can not be any meaningful development under the atmosphere of war and restlessness.

B.R.T FARES MAY GO UP.



Handlers of Bus Rapid Transport are thinking of increasing their fares.The arguments they advanced was based on high maintenance cost of their fleet.

A densely populated states like Lagos needs efficient and affordable transportation system.

The effect of the increase will impact negatively on Lagosians who uses this means of transportation, instinctively, yellow bus operators known as Danfo will have to double their fares also and this will make life more difficult for commuters.

Government should think largely of the poor before they formulate policies, government policies should not be anti-people.

New Year prophecy about Adeboye and others.

Pastor OkikiJesu prophesied that the trio of Adeboye, Oyedepo and Kumuyi will not make heaven.

Could he have possibly hear from God? How can he convince us the message is from God? 

Bible admonish us to test every spirit. He also declared that they will die, that should not be a threat everybody will die someday.

But I ask myself, If such people will go to hell, who is now going to be in heaven.

Let God be true and all men a Liars.

I hope pastor Okiki is not one of the men that are liars



National Identity Card, a prerequisite for JAMB registration.


Prospective students who do not have  national identity card will not be allow to write forthcoming JAMB examination.

Government may need to provide more registration centers for students populations or shelve the idea until necessary steps are taken.

Many students left their home very early only to be ignored by staff of NIMC.

People should be able to register for national identity card stress-free .

If they spend days trying to get an identity cards, when will they now settle down to read and adequately prepared for the exam.

We should cultivate culture of excellence, we do not have to struggle for everything.

Invasion of Michika calls for concern.

After they invaded Michika in Adamawa state.They left on their trail blood, pains and anguish.

They didn't leave without taking along C.A.N chairman.

Except God intervene, the story may not end well.

Not  long  ago ISWAP eliminated
four Christians.

I know insurgency does not have religious colouration.

Government should secure release of all captives.

All hands must be on deck to stamp out terrorism in our country.

VIDEO: ABDUCTED CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA CHAIRMAN SPEAKS

Emphasis on First Friday and Sunday.

I saw many people in their fifties moving hurriedly.You could see palpable seriousness in their bid to beat the time.

I wonder where they are hurrying to.It was the first Friday in the year.

Every Muslim faithful must register their presence at the Jumat Service.

The church was filled to the brim, finding a seat become difficult for regulars.

It was the first Sunday of the year, every serious Christian must be there.

I hope our search for things of God will be deepened this year so that we can experience true transformations.



Why Bank is no longer Safe to keep your money.

It may be difficult to believe but it is the truth.

Most of the robbery that occurred in banks were planned by an insider.

A man was trailed by some guys on motorbike immediately after he left a banking hall.

The cash he collected was forcefully taken, but because he put up some resistance, he was shot and killed.

Arrest of robbery syndicate in Abuja is an eye opener.

The whole operation was planned with the assistance of an insider.

How secure are bank customers that transacts business with their banks on daily basis?

If bank staff could reveal to criminals identity of customers who are in possession of huge amount of money. Then how safe are bank customers?

How are bank staff recruited?

If bank could not guarantee safety of their customers, then we better get an alternatives.



Demolition of Saraki ancestral home contentious.

Demolition of Saraki ancestral home is contentious. Ile Arugbo was leveled by the state government.

Some people believed government is being vindictive.

According to information reaching us, the land belongs to state government and it was initially meant to build a secretariat.

Politics here primarily is not for service.

Power corrupt.  Absolute power corrupt absolutely.

Wild fire razed home in Ausralia, Germany and..

Video

Australia has been battling with wide spreading bush fire that has consumed many houses.

Lives have been lost and properties destroyed.

German Zoo was also not spared in a raging inferno that engulfed the facility.

A popular cow markets was engulfed in an inferno the last days of just concluded year.

In our parts of the world fire incidence are more rampant during dry seasons.

Certain measures should be put in place to combat fire incidences.



Has banks 😅comply with ATM reduction policy.

When CBN came out with policy about reduction in ATM charges from 65 naira to 35 naira, I expressed my doubt about enforcement of this policy.

One is not surprised that the status quo remain the same, nothing has changed.

CB N has the duty to regulates banks operations.

Now that banks have refused to comply, shouldn't they be sanctioned?

We will wait and see how it goes.





Former Governor on medical trip danced away..........

A good dancing steps as displayed by the former governor of Ekiti State is an indication that he has fully recovered.

The former governor who is  standing trial for financial impropriety was allowed to traveled abroad on medical ground.

It is  good to see him dancing.

We earnestly await his returns as he recuperates.

Nigeria government should ensure all those indicted for financial related offences are fairly tried before competent court of law. 




How you shouldn't start the new year.

How will you describe people who start the new year with altercations? Two matured housewives lock horns and they were ready to beat each other silly.

Reasons; poverty.

Let us pray against poverty in the new year.

A lilittle child emptied his bowel(excrete) in a potty. The mother took the potty carelessly and this infuriated a neighbour who sat down  in the passage. If you have lived in face me and slap you before, you will understand.

May God help us.



For the love of money.


She suppose to be out of school in a couple of some months.

Unfortunately, she would never graduated. For the love of money 3 people including her boyfriend conspired to kill her for money rituals.

The lady was lured by her lover to a "pastor" who carried out the dastardly act.

There is no shortcut to success, any short cut will cut the life of individual short.

Thank goodness, they were arrested.No sinner will go unpunished.

Pastor Shot wife ....

He would now be held for first-degree murder. A pastor followed his wife to the police station where she went to report him. Hale of bullets...
