The poor assessment of President Muhammadu Buhari by three regional soci-cultural has irked Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum which has described the criticism as deceptive.

Yoruba Ronu said the allegation of incompetence against the Federal Government by leaders of some groups across the country is deceptive.



The forum is reacting to a communiqué issued by Afenifere, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Northern Elders Forum (NEF) and Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) in which they criticised the performance of the present istration.

The forum called on leadership of other socio-cultural groups to also mention some achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari-led istration while pointing out the shortcomings.

Akin Malaolu, the Secretary-General, Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum, made the observation in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja.

He said that although there were growing concerns about killings and insurgency in some parts of the country, efforts made by the present istration to contain the situation was worth mentioning.

Call to order for Honey

The Lagos State Government sought the intervention of the Federal Government in enforcing the rule that all haulage operators must have designated parks immediately on Thursday

The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Kehinde Bamigbetan, made the assertion in Lagos on the chaotic traffic situation in the state.
Bamigbetan sympathised with the commuters and residents of Apapa and other parts of the state over the lingering gridlock created by trucks and articulated vehicles.

He expressed sadness over the difficulties faced by motorists and commuters seeking the use of the Apapa-Oshodi Highway and other routes leading to the ports.

The commissioner assured residents that the state government had directed security agencies to deploy their officers to the areas to further control traffic and bring immediate succour to the people.

Bamigbetan said President Muhammadu Buhari had assured Lagos State that the Federal Government would tackle the matter decisively, noting that the latest hardship made the much needed intervention extremely imperative.

Wale Adeniyi, Deputy Commandant, Customs Training College, Gwagwalada, Abuja, disclosed this in an interview at a workshop on TRS in Lagos on Thursday.


The workshop, organized in conjunction with World Customs Organisation (WCO), was attended by clearing agents, freight forwarders, terminal operators and government agencies operating at the ports.

Adeniyi, coordinator of the study, said WCO had deployed some tools to test the efficiency of customs istration in Nigeria.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun has been in the eye of the storm, and that is putting it mildly. While I believe that she may be the target of a conspiracy against her by persons on whose toes she may have stepped, (otherwise, who is still worrying these days about NYSC certificate?),

it seems she herself has not helped matters by refusing to say a word to explain her dilemma. If she thinks the matter will blow away, the fact that the Federal Government has now intervened with the unconvincing claim that a probe is underway is a sure recipe for mischief.



There are three weighty issues involved, in fact four: (1) she has been called a dodger. The NYSC Act does not permit anyone below the age of 30 to dodge a mandatory call to national service, except under circumstances that do not apply to her. At the time of her graduation from university, the Minister was 22 years old; (2) she is also being accused of forgery, or being an accessory to the act of forgery.

Juventus and Real Madrid have agreed that will see Portugal’s all-time highest goalscorer move to Turin in a deal worth a reported £105 million.

After scoring a record 450 goals in 438 games, Cristiano Ronaldo is finally ending is nine-year stay with Real Madrid after agreeing to Italian champions, Juventus.

Speculation had been mounting for weeks about the future of Ronaldo – who won four Champions League titles with Real – and the move, believed to be worth up to £105m, will be seen as a big step forward for Italian football.

Andrea Agnelli, the Juve chairman, was at Ronaldo’s hotel in Greece on Tuesday as discussions over the move advanced, Ronaldo’s agent – Jorge Mendes – was believed to be simultaneously meeting with Real Madrid.


Madrid made clear in their announcement that the transfer was driven primarily by the player’s desires.

The official 192-word statement from Real Madrid said read: “Real Madrid C. F. communicates that, according to the will and request expressed by the player Cristiano Ronaldo, we have agreed to transfer him to Juventus F. C.

“Today Real Madrid wants to express its gratitude to a player who has proved to be the best in the world and who has marked one of the most brilliant times in the history of our club and world football.

“Beyond the conquered titles, the trophies and the triumphs achieved in the playing fields during these nine years, Cristiano Ronaldo has been an example of dedication, work, responsibility, talent and improvement.

“He has also become the top scorer in the history of Real Madrid with 451 goals in 438 games. In total, [Ronaldo won] 16 titles, including 4 European Cups, three of them consecutively and four in the last five seasons. On an individual basis, in the Real Madrid jersey he has won four Ballon d’Ors, two (Fifa’s) The Best, and three Gold Boots, among many other awards.

“For Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo will always be one of the great symbols and a unique inspiration for the next generations.

Presidential election campaign has begin gathering momentum and both the pretenders, that have filled the Nigeria political stage as well as the few contenders that have shown their faces, are both making promises of what they can deliver. The biggest of it all, are promises coming from failed political officers’ holders, to Nigeria citizens, with return ticket to Mars’ in 2019 if voted in, and worthy of note is the man that has spent more time abroad looking after his health than days he has spent in active governance promising ‘heaven on earth’ in just a year to another election.

In reality, we don’t want to wake up in 2020, just as it happening now, and be calling on God for His intervention for the deceptive change that is coated with anti-corruption war that we would have consciously but ignorantly voted for.

Ideally, nation building is ten per cent about prayer and ninety percent about doing the right thing by voting the right candidate with right national vision into political office, not a person who wants to grab 5000 hectares of land in states across the federation for an ethinic group he belongs to in the name of cattle colony.

I am negotiating for a country where I can travel to and never return again, reason being that there are more idiots in Nigeria than there are ordinary or normal human beings.

At the speed through which Kemi’s alleged NYSC certificate forgery is presently trending speaks volume about how mischievous and gullible the public can be just at once. Why do Nigerians prefer negative news and than progress and truth?

Are Nigerians by nature evil? Is there anything naturally wrong with the position of Nigeria in the world map? What is the relationship between Nigerians and falsehood? How many kilometers is hell fire to Nigeria? Can any good thing come from Nigeria? Why Nigerians prefer lies than honesty?

Before you kill aunt Kemi, listen to me, Kemi the Nigerian finance Minister is a lady I know in and out, she was born, raised and schooled in London. At 41, Kemi was appointed by her state Governor in Nigeria as commissioner for finance, to enable Kemi work in Nigeria she obtained her NYSC exemption certificate. These are few questions you need to answer before you kill aunt Kemi, can Kemi be enrolled for national service at the age of 41? Is aunt Kemi in possession of NYSC exemption certificate?

Fela was a legendary multi-instrumentalist, musician, composer and pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre.
He was also a human rights activist, and political maverick.
