The vast majority of Nigerians are so disappointed with the government that they will readily utilise every platform to express their frustration; and really, who would blame them? Evidently, the government has consistently failed to fulfil the legitimate and most basic expectations of the citizens, such as the ones highlighted above – and that is very unfortunate

The Dickson system suffers from a credibility deficit. But even a government of doubtful legitimacy can be consistent. Dickson and his lieutenants are confused. They have no idea about how to run a government. They think that running Bayelsa State is about cheap propaganda
The driver extended a N200 note to the police officer whose shirt was so badly damaged that I could see neither his name nor his number. He pocketed the money with his left hand in broad daylight and then produced a change of N100 from the right side of his trouser, which he handed over to the driver
Now, instead of pursuing this ignoble, retrogressive, anti-social, anti-nature and anti-God legislation, I advise the British Government and other European countries to initiate programs that will stem the growing and alarming rate of unemployment, economic recession, crimes, suicides, murders, lasciviousness, etc. I also call on all British Members of Parliament to reject and throw out this particular bill if it is eventually presented to them
We are becoming the only race losing out in all things that make people happy – marriage, home, job, responsible kids, social life, money in the bank and hope for the future. Man and woman in marriage is becoming unfashionable. Single parentage is the buzz
What I am saying in essence is that there is a very wide hiatus between an actualizer and a dreamer. Leaders throughout the world do not claim success for their dreams and designs but what they actually achieved while in office. How does anyone go into the basement of Ladoja’s mind to gouge out or gauge his dreams? How does one establish the veracity or otherwise of this claim?
How can a babe, with all her screws sticking to their right places, say that sex was not an important factor in making a successful marriage? According to her, the importance of sex in marriage was overrated. God help us!
What is he going to tell Nigerians that he has accomplished and for which they should hand the country to him for another four years?
Monday’s claim by the Henry Seriake Dickson administration in Bayelsa State that it inherited from the former governor, Chief Timipre…
Nigerians are indeed a special breed of people. We have seen so much gloom and doom that we have learnt to see the humour in every situation, regardless of how bad it is
More than anything else that Ajimobi may have accomplished so far, the mature manner in which he deflated the tires of the rampaging NURTW will rank near the top
My uneducated but education-conscious mother became my source of inspiration, urging me on even in the face of financial difficulties. Some few months after my secondary school education, my mother got worried why I had not got admission into higher institution of learning
Ndigbo have, for decades, expressed the desire and the thirst for the prime political office in this country. We have clearly shown, by oral advocacy, why we have that desire and thirst. Now we must take the forward steps in the direction of the oasis from which we hope to quench our thirst for justice and our desire for equity in Nigeria
But I have a concern. Where are the black professional Diaspora in their suits and briefcases or IPads in the early hour of the morning? Where are my people?
Yes, you have stayed in that darkness for too long, lost all the hope, wasted a lot of time and resources, suffered, harassed, embarrassed and famished, but the light is now appearing in your situation. I command your day to break forth in the mighty name of Jesus! Let there be restoration in your life
We will give priority attention in the coming year to flood and erosion control, the rehabilitation and expansion of existing federal roads, improved power supply, as well as the continued rehabilitation, upgrading and reactivation of the national rail network.
We must all now arise and act decisively and very quickly too. Yes, now!
May the Birth of Christ favour the return of peace in Mali and that of concord in Nigeria, where savage acts of terrorism continue to reap victims, particularly among Christians
The governor must be seen to be haughty, even imperious. He is authoritative, even authoritarian; decisive, even ruthless and strong, even invincible. These are the ingredients of cult personality. Some governors, as you move around the country, are manifesting a form of endowment with muscular virtues. Didn’t Governor Ikedi Ohakim beat a journalist and at another time a priest inside the State House?
Whatever our wishes, whatever we know or do not know, our beloved Sir Patrick Yakowa will not come back to us. We can only look forward to when we shall go to him
