  Often times during conversation about the state of the nation among friends and family either physically or through social media interaction, there is common statement that most times come up in the air; “Who do we really offended in this country” . Ideally, this is the kind of words you hear and you laugh it off but imperatively, the recent debate on whether Nigeria should establish “State Police” in order to confront the challenge of the Nation insecurity made me to realized that the statement might sound funny in hearing or reading, but the statement seems to be true. Maybe we offended our Ancestors. Severally, I keep letting people know that Nigeria is experiencing a real deficit in good leadership. By these I mean Leaders that lack: proper planning, developmental skill to Nation growth and low problem-solving capacity (or nothing at all) etc. and you know what! The situation like these has always proved me right. It is a clear indication that our Leaders are out there on j...

         Please where are our ambassadors, who is speaking for us, who are those that are relaying information about us in a diplomatic manner to the world and is the space for lobbying Nigeria interest at the globe, now empty? Anyone can add as many questions as possible to the countless number of questions that are begging for answers… For now, No one! Chronologically for the current Nigeria Government, I consider the first Six month without Ambassadorial Appointment as “General Cleaning”.   For the next six month, which is a year of Administration, it may be “Coincidence”, but after 2years, without any doubt, it is a “Choice of Unserious Government”, a government that lost focuses and mute the Nigerian voice in a Global scale. It is not uncommon for new administration to recall both Political and Career representative of a country in the different States of the world but considering the position and as indispensable  as Ambassadoria...

                               “Take a great person in any situation, they will create abundance and it will be a life changing moment for everyone along with people around them.”   (Babatunde 2025) So, who are great person? By my own understanding, they are the Leaders, all kind of Leaders you can think of; Politically, Socially, Institutionally, Religiously and Ethnically. From the above quotes, which of our past and present leader (Democratically Elected Ones) has been great in solving our peculiar problem. I haven’t seen one or rather, by my judgement, they will solve like 10% easy problems and create multiple and bigger remaining 90% of another set of problems. It is unfortunate to note that, these Leaders won’t be a victim of such challenges, but the masses of this country. Irony of it was like, they share National Award like sachet water when it was selling for Ten Naira. Now, let us go pol...

                               “If you take a good person and put them in a bad environment, it is naturally incumbent on the person to do a bad thing. In the reverse sense, when a bad person is being put in a good environment, I am sure they will become better.”  (Babatunde 2025) Now I want us to take note of our environment, yes, literarily, what is our environment like, where do our Leaders emerge from? We all can ponder on the answer to that question for the time being… You can read how our political emerge in our political space in Nigeria here     Let me share with you how... There are certain things I want Nigerians to wake up at, at this moment, we are allowing mediocre and do not hold our Leaders accountable. Unfortunately for us,  I can't imagine how can any of us, Nigerians, would defend Government of the day. Though with the exception of  those set of people who are ...

  Let me quickly share a story with you... There was a Religious man that used to preach the Gospel to people in different locations of the earth, I mean different countries, States, both Rural and Urban areas. One day he went to a location lodge in a Hotel waiting for the time to start preaching... When it's about time to preach, he got out of the hotel and met a boy, a teenager. While exchanging pleasantries and normal introduction, the man let the boy know that he's a preacher, that his responsibilities included winning the souls and letting people know their way to heaven.  The boy really appreciates him and was delightful.  The preacher then asks the boy can you please tell or describe the way to (the address of his location where to preach) the boy's response made the Preacher think twice about how we view life and our purpose... The boy said, "How can someone that knows ways to heaven can't know a way to the location where he's about to preach in this sm...

….from part 1, this is the concluding part...   “The purpose of Propaganda is to make one set of people forget that other sets of people  are human” -Aldous Huxley Let us come back home now, how much is Nigeria daily Oil production per day? According to Google, Nigeria daily production is 2.19 million bpd. But Dr. Atul, during our discussion put it like “Nigeria has capacity of 2.5 million barrel/day but their current production is lower at approximately 1,459 million bpd.  Quoting my mentor, he said,  ” See how much Nigeria is losing in terms of US$ annually and on recurring basis" I know both sources are right. Only that, the latter source is most current. Now this is my understanding… Nigeria has oil, proven Oil deposit of about 37.50 billion barrels, with very low daily production. The reality on ground is that Nigeria has what USA has and that same resources, is given USA close to half a Trillion US$ annually. So what’s the problem with us, why are we s...
