The on-going war of attrition among PDP leading light in the face of massive unemployment of our youths, infrastructural decay, 13 years of unfulfilled promises and monumental corruption by its members, is one more evidence that the party doesn’t give a damn about Nigeria. For the greed of its members, PDP that has continued to act as if it is answerable to no one is prepared to drag the nation down along with itself. Continue reading “PDP’s vicious war”

Only in Nigeria can this happen. An ex-convict who went to prison for corruption is brought back to power by a lame duck president who also proudly declares another ex-con (Alamasiegha) his benefactor. Nigeria is doomed. Any wonder why Otedola/Lawan case has been swept under the carpet? Bankole roaming freely and enjoying his loot? We need a revolution in this country. We have a crook as president.
