THE UNITED NATION’S DOUBLE STANCE IN WORLD AFFAIRS



Question mark are beginning to appear over the real mission of the United Nation body.  These questions are pertinent especially from three main angle: The North Korean debacle; the Iranian Intransigence in the strait of Homuz and the murderous wars in Syria and Yemen.  The recent destruction of part of the Saudi’s Aramco Oil fields by the Houthi rebels, without a strong response from the United Nations are cause for concerns to the civilized world.  “Their inactions are sending the wrong messages”, said one Paul Usoro.  “You get the impression that they are toothless and weak”, he stressed.

In reality, the world is drifting into chaotic environment with individual nations threatening to wipe out another without any serious rebuke or reprimand.  With North Korea firing ballistic missiles daily, Hezbollah amassing rockets; Houthi rebels bombing oil installations and civilians massacred in Syria, the United Nations must live up to expectations – or fold up!  The level of intolerance cannot be allowed to exacerbate further.  Otherwise, the unexpected may erupt.  The first step to enforce is the condemnation of the Iranian standoff.  They must be called to order.  The world can least afford another conflagration

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?
