HOW NIGERIA LOST THE CREATION OF 1M JOBS IN 2021.BY DR.GBENGA ADEOYE. 1. I hear stories of how young Nigerians leave in droves to other countries in search of greener pasture. 2.There is hardly no week without a call coming from people who want to relocate. 3.Some have good jobs and in their case, it is about looking for another working system....System that are predictable...with Public wealth..  4.Most of those leaving are people who concluded there is no hope for them here.Their perception may be justified based on their experience. 5.Having laid this foundation, it is important to itemise things we MUST STOP forever and things we MUST DO URGENTLY . 6.I was privileged to know entities set up with less than N10b from land to Equipment and initial working capital now creating about 1000 direct and indirect jobs. 7.If we look at  the N20,000 meant for 1,000 youths in 774 local government for three months , it would have amounted to N46,440,000,000. 8.

Atiku/Okowa 2023  For PDP in 2023 it is a settled matter. Our flag bearers are Waziri Atiku Abubakar, GCON, and HE Dr Ifeanyi Okowa. We have gone through a transparent and credible process to arrive at this.  As loyal party men and women, it is time to consider what is in the best interest of our country and our party. Naturally, we must have our individual preferences and we all campaigned vigorously for our choices but the matter is now settled. There is no need to brood nor start to act irresponsibly, neither is it the time for disloyalty and crass opportunism against the party except you never really loved the party. We have a serious campaign ahead of us and all of our wits and skills will be needed. There is need for unity for party and country.  People must be gallant in victory and humble when things don’t go their way. The umbrella is big enough to accommodate everyone of us as Nigerians and as party men and women. What is before us is a situation tha...

Eleyi Saga: Showunmi Calls Fayemi to Order, Says Ogun is not a Joke As the statement made by the All Progressive Congress Candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abeokuta when he came to consult the delegates for vote has become an appellation on social media and beyond, Hon Segun Showunmi has frowned on the recent outburst of Governor Kayode Fayemi referring to Governor Dapo Abiodun as Eleyi of Ogun state. Segun Showunmi in a statement made available to newsmen from his country home in  Abeokuta said the good people of Ogun state are sophisticated people, therefore, the person occupying the exalted office of the Governor cannot be referred to as Eleyi.

Dapo Abiodun is Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State!  The Yoruba will say ti oju akata ban lewo se enu adiye lo ye ka ti gbo. This means it is bad that Bola Tinubu now presidential candidate of the APC will refer to the...
