THIS WAS NOT THE PROMISE._ANOTHER GREAT NIGERIAN FROM THE DIASPORA.


Nigeria;
When this current government took over power from the previous administration in Nigeria with a lot of promises and support from the masses during the election,i though we were in for a better deal as a nation but i am very vexatious with the current happenings politically, economically and with foreign relations.
Political appointments are lopsided, the fight for corruption is selective, there is lack of respect for human rights and justice, no clear plans to empower the Nigeria youths and revamp the decaying economy, opposition voices are silenced by those that will the big stick,deliberate attempt to coarse Nigerians into believing in an identity that is not theirs, building walls of hate instead of uniting the various cultures and nationals that makes up Nigeria.
The blame game is the tool use to distract the good people of Nigeria and redirect the destinies of those who voted for the incumbent.
Hardship,poverty,crimes,tribal and other avoidable sentiments have taken the day.
All these intrigues have resulted to all kinds of unwanted youth forces springing up across Nigeria and causing tension.
Instead of being collective as a nation to achieve the common goal of economic growth and development,our country is clearly divided on the line of those "for" and "against" due to political party affiliations and sentiments. We have missed the target.
The incumbent government has to do a lot to listen to the voices of the masses for whom they represent.
Building Nigeria is a collective task but the government must lay the foundation for this process.
It's has gotten worse and we have to speak out at least at this time.



I believe in Nigeria.

Who is Usman Danfodio-Brief History By Lekan Macualay Usman dan Fodio, Muslim religious leader and founder of the Sokoto Caliphate in what is now northern Nigeria. A Fulani born in the Hausa state of Gobir, Usman dan Fodio studied the Koran with his father, an eminent scholar, then moved from place to place to study with other religious scholars. When he was 25, he began teaching and preaching, and from this time his reputation as a holy man grew. He taught Islam in Gobir, and he was probably engaged as tutor to the future sultan Yunfa because of his learned reputation.  Usman criticized the Hausa ruling elite for their heavy taxation and other practices that he claimed violated Islamic law. His call for Islamic reform (and tax reduction) earned him a wide following in the 1780s and 1790s, when he became a political threat to Gobir sultan Nafata. When Yunfa assumed power as sultan in 1802, the repression of Usman’s followers worsened. Following the example of the pr...

operatives, targets during Paris attacks Lekan Macaulay's blog The sophisticated ISIS network that plots foreign strikes had planned for the carnage in the November 2015 Paris attacks to be far worse, to occur in other European countries as well and, investigators believe, had planned to follow them up with strikes in several locations, CNN has learned. CNN has obtained thousands of pages of documents and photos from internal European investigations and gathered information from sources close to the Paris investigation that together provide new details about the highly organized terror group intent on attacking overseas targets. These documents reveal new information about two captured operatives who investigators believe intended to attack France. They also point, chillingly, to the existence of another suspected terrorist -- never before named publicly -- who authorities claim is linked to the Paris terror cell and was on the loose in Europe for months after that attac...
