 Prof. Wole Soyinka says : 'WHERE DID WE GO WRONG? WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS!'~~~ "Awolowo was 37 years, Akintola 36, Ahmadu Bello 36, Balewa 34, Okotie-Eboh 27 and Enahoro 27 And they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time! In 1966, the first military coup was led by K Nzeogwu who was 29 years and countered by M.Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma 28, I. Babangida 25, J. Garba 23, Sani Abacha 23, and M. Yar'adua 23, And brought to power Y. Gowon 32, Ojukwu 33, Obasanjo 29, And Buhari 24! Most of the military governors who governed the states under the successive military regimes were under 30 years. Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under 30! Under 30's were also not in short supply with appointments - we have examples of MT Mbu who became Nigeria's Foreign Affair...

*As copied* The British government spends € 600 million annually on the BBC World Service (the BBC's international advertising branch). And every week, this World Service reaches 96 million people in Africa, the channel's largest audience.  Now ask yourself, why would the British government spend 600 million euros EVERY YEAR to inform African people?  As Carter G. Woodson said ′ ′ If you can control a man's thinking, you don't have to worry about his actions. When you determine what a man should think, you don't have to worry about what he is going to do. If you make a man feel inferior, you don't have to force him to accept an inferior state, because he will look for you himself. If you make a man think he is just an outcast, you don't have to send him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one. "  Now, here it comes: France.  Every year, France spends 273 million euros on 3 inte...

  The fear of an individual and the fierceness of his ability had the total capability to give a definite result. Definite as in a positive result, which will eventually lead to a congratulatory message. The most frequently said word when a positive event happens or take place, not minding the amount of effort , sacrifice,time and resources invested into the work. Going through tunnels , seeing looming dangers awful moments blank thoughts,all alone conquering and pulling out stronger than ever is worth more than a mere congratulations . Being rich or successful is not measured by the amount of wealthiness but by the amount and worth of an individuals ability to strive for wealth and success. Thus a congratulatory message.

Meanwhile some individuals struggle astray, YES, some people work too much compared to their Worth, the amount of their i...

The vehicle was not returned until yesterday evening.  I was very angry that the mechanic delayed my planned trip but was also glad that he brought the car back for me to leave this morning.  So I decided to drive around to be sure the car was in good condition for the trip, this was about 7.30pm...I drove up to the Games Village Traffic Junction and the car stopped. I tried starting it and it won't start, so parked, called the mechanic, who told me he has gone home but will see if he can make it back to me.  So I decided to start the car once more and Bang! The car burst into flames...I ran out of the car in shock and confusion. The next episode of this mishap is the reason for my narrative.  From the moving traffic, I saw men and boys park their cars and were rushing to my burning car ...
