BREAKING: POLL SHOWS STRONG DISAPROVAL TO PROBE AMBODE!



An overwhelming majority of lagosians has condemned the move by the Lagos State House of Assembly to probe the purchase of 820 buses by former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for public transportation, describing it  as unnecessary and diversionary! The poll result exposed the move as  a tactic designed to coarse and intimidate political appointees to submission and subject them to perpetual manipulation! They also faulted the subject of the probe insisting that the buses are visible for all to see and already in operation! These are some of the  startling revelations  plucked out from the hastily conducted  opinion poll to ascertain the mood of Lagosians after the news broke out last tuesday whether they are in support or not. A large majority views the attempt as no more than a kangaroo attempt to nail the former governor at all cost. The poll carried out in strategic districts around the Lagos metropolis showed a staggering 65% of Lagosians are clearly not in support of the probe expressing surprise at the motive coming so soon after the aborted attempt to impeach the former governor while in office including the non-release of the 2019 appropriation bill, which rightly frustrated his last days in office; and now the probe! This group of respondents rhetorically asked: is this not a confirmation that the Lagos Assembly has become a mere “rubber stamp”? Respondents in Surulere, Ikeja, Apapa, Orile, Ogba, Jibowu, Ojodu, Isheri areas all returned the same negative verdict. Those sampled include men and women from the age bracket of 25-60.  Their reasons were unanimous: This is an ill-advised move and should be halted immediately. The poll result showed the outcome of the probe was already premeditated and headed in one direction: to publicly ridicule an innocent man! 25% of the respondents expressed disgust at the sad turn of events calling the damning move a “witch-hunt”. They agreed that the House of Assembly being a cesspit of corruption itself, ordinarily lacks the potential to push for Ambodes’ indictment unless there was strong backing from “somewhere”; this group of people mostly 25-35 years bracket reminded Nigerians that the Assembly people are the same set of people that wanted to “impeach” the former governor while in office for no just cause! They also point to the manner he was frustrated at the party’s primary when he was completely isolated. The same set of accusers and judges are now set to fine tune their strategies to deliver the killer punch. Another 5% dismissed the probe as no more than a power play. They say Ambode’s refusal to “bow” for the powers that be, cannot go unpunished, noting that this is reminiscent of  Nigeria’s dirty style of politics. The remaining 5% said they are worried because they are turning democracy upside down noting that this is not  a case of   PDP versus APC, but APC against APC!  Above all, the poll results returned a verdict of  poor cooperation amongst the Yorubas who are adept at washing their linen in public, while other tribes are consolidating, regardless of the spate of kidnapping, marauding herdsmen, banditry and robbery enveloping the land concluding that the former governor is a Yoruba man like them and has nothing to do with 2023 politics!

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets? Seco...

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...
