It can be very painful facing the reality of the death of loved ones in their prime age especially when some of them even left parents behind.
Osu ba ba ba is here and a thick blanket of myth has fallen on the land ushering dreadful panic, morbid fear and travel phobia. Ba ba ba months are September, October, November and December. Pundits like veteran drivers, road safety experts, hardened ‘agberos’ and even Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi,
I devoted my weekend to devouring Aremo Olusegun Osoba’s autobiography: Battlelines – Adventures In Journalism And Politics.” And without any apology, I want to confess that I thoroughly relished and enjoyed it. I also would like to recommend it to all, but especially journalists and politicians, whose terrains were well covered in the book.
With the federal cabinet firmly on ground and strategically reinforced to execute far-reaching innovative policy initiatives and projects, the next level of the Muhammadu Buhari Administration’s reform-focused agenda

Adoption of electronic payments is a viable and cost effective alternative to cash. The CBN in September, 2019 further reduced the fee that businesses pay for accepting electronic payments at Points-of-Sale (PoS) by 33.3% from 0.75% to only 0.5% of transaction value with a ceiling or maximum charge of N1,000.

As if that was not enough, one of the party’s most influential members and its main sponsor for a long time, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, declared war on the party, inviting heaven as his witness that he will stop at nothing until the “scoundrels” in his party have learnt their lesson.
It gives me a unique pleasure to be back here again at the NIPSS to give this lecture – this time around to the Executive Course 41, 2019.
The hero in all of this melodrama, however, is Allen Onyema, the CEO of Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, which provided aircraft to evacuate Nigerians, free of charge from South Africa. He deserves a Presidential handshake and a national honour
All I know is that he founded the Air Peace Airline, which now bestrides Nigeria’s skyline like a collosus, and quietly pushed out Arik Air which proudly occupied that position a couple of years back.
It is a sad commentary that the Niger Delta people face the paradox of having an amazing wealth in crude oil but are buffeted by a whirlwind that has choked genuine efforts to turn around the situation in a region that is bare in human capital and infrastructural development.

Angry mobs have dominated recent images from the streets of South Africa and Nigeria – Africa’s two largest economies.
I did not encounter any group of students when I got to Oye town. They had dispersed before my arrival, and when they regrouped I was inside the venue. It is possible, as I stated earlier, that the group that came to the venue trying to gain access with sticks and stones in hand might have included local hoodlums, but there was no way of telling the difference
They include, in this particular regard, Reno Omokri, Facts vs. Fiction: The Story of the Jonathan Years, Chibok, 2015 and the Conspiracies (2017); Olusegun Adeniyi, Against the Run of Play: How an incumbent President was Defeated in Nigeria (2017); Bolaji Abdullahi, On A Platter of Gold (2017); Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story behind the Headlines (2018); and Goodluck Jonathan, My Transition Hours (2018).
I thank you for inviting me to deliver this keynote speech at this event preparatory to the 70th anniversary of our alma mater, Ijebu Muslim College, famously known as MUSEDUCO Varsity.
