Best Political Party for April Elections



Which political party is the best in Nigeria?
Which of them has performed in the people's interest more than the others?
What is the criteria for knowing the best political party in Nigeria especially since the people of Osun, Edo, and Ekiti may be disappointed or otherwise if they expect their states to turn to Lagos in four years?


As we blame PDP for all the problems of Nigeria, we have to ask ourselves whether other parties have fared better in the states they control. At least I know that Yobe, Borno, and Kano have been under ANPP in the last eight years.


Before Zamfara and Kebbi jumped to PDP, did ANPP achieve any land-breaking successes in those areas?


What about Ondo under Labour Party? Anambra under APGA? And then the ones under ACN?


Have all PDP governors failed woefully in their respective states?


Is there a link between PDP and Nigeria's under-development since 1999?


If yes, what about our under-development prior to 1999, was it PDP also?


What about the under-development in non-PDP states?


These questions have been on my mind for a long time now.
And as the next elections draw near,
They become much more demanding for answers.



As we vote, let's be conscious that it is our action/inaction that will determine what will become of our common destinies in the next four years in the short term. One needs not be deceived by political party banners that are displayed in confusing splendour. Because most of the klepto-maniacs that we call leaders, do not have any loyalty to any party. They are simply AGIP - Any Government In Power!


In Edo, Lagos, etc they have decamped to ACN.
In Anambra, they are now in APGA.
In Ondo, see them in Labour Party
And others!
Alongside these are those who have abandoned their original parties because they failed to be nominated in theirs. You don't need to look far to see one. Every third poster you see contains the "insincere" smiling face of one of these people! They are just there for themselves first, themselves, second, and nobody else, third.


Can we now say that political parties should determine who we will vote for?
No, and a resounding no!


The best party is that individual who we are sure still deliver the goods for the people!
We know them, not from their tribe or their religion
But from their honesty, consistency in morals and not corruption, and by the company they keep!


Vote for the person, his/her pedigree not for the money they share or the noise they make!
Long live the people of Nigeria! 
Long live Nigeria!

"My Husband washes my Undies"

My country is indeed an interesting place! I read with consternation as a couple of women reportedly emerged on social media to announce to the world what their spouses do and whatnots. I believe the whole noise came off one of the events on the ongoing BBNaija show where one of the contestants reportedly washed the pants of his love interest. And the dying-to-be-distracted throng of Nigerian youths started another session of tantrum throwing on the internet over whether Neo (so is his name) should have or have not washed Vee's (I hope am correct) panties. And the stuff even made it to  Premium Times  and BBC .  So much noise about nothing, if you ask me! This is not the first time this is happening. In a previous season of BBNaija, another housemate sparked controversies for washing the undies of his love interest. A lot of internet perfectionists came out with condemnations or adulations. Others came with nothing. I call it the dying-to-be-distracted throng. The mass of Nero'

Why Guys Don't Propose Fast Enough

http://www.reception-wedding.com/wedding_rings.htm I have been refusing to blog on this for a long time for fear of being misunderstood. But the barrage of complaints for a number of affected friends has not abated. Let me use this story to buttress my point. Please note that the names have been changed not to point at any individual living or dead. Adaku has always been a reserved girl. Right through Secondary School and her early university days, she kept away from associating with certain kind of friends especially girls who do not think like she does and guys. Her upbringing has been under the strict and conservative instructions of her parents. But in the university she meets Haruna, a handsome, intelligent and promising young man who was a year ahead of her in the University. One thing leads to another and before long, they were dating steadily. Their relationship continued from her 3rd year in the university till seven years afterwards. Now, Adaku isn't very sure

Learning Deutsch

The first time we arrived purposely to learn German, we were so enthusiastic. For me, I haven't really sat down to learn a new language, perhaps because there are no formalised institutions for learning Nigerian languages as in Germany. And that strikes me as odd! No one seems to have discovered that we could actually create formalised outlets for learning some, if not all, of our 250 languages. If that had existed, I could have spent time learning good Hausa formally in the six years that I spent teaching in Gombe.  But again, there is yet another snag: why would one pay, sometimes heavily, to learn a language that perhaps has little or no global presence? People have been learning German, French, Spanish and Portuguese, and they are now learning Chinese even in Europe. Why? The people who own those languages have some value or so they think, that those who are learning their language want. Take a look at English language. Even with Brexit, a lot of European nations are still sc
