#InsideSources today had Mr. Olatunjispeake about his military detention. If there are issues about a story, due process should be followed for remedy. Chaining a journalist, blindfolding him & dumping him in a dungeon for two weeks reflects poorly on all of us as a people.
Congratulations o, Dr Joe Abah, OON, my brother. Pls share the young man's info once you get it, we must herald the diligence he has demonstrated. And I dare say there are scores of millions of Nigerians like that. We thank GOD for the safety of all the people on board! Chilling!!
#WeeklyPonder In this life, it is up to you to make yourself happy. Do what excites you, just don't break the laws of God, the laws of humanity & the laws of the land. Do that, and discover to your delight, that expectation to derive happiness elsewhere is over-rated & misleading
#InsideSources -2 interesting segments today: Peter Obi's spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo who blasts away on national issues & then Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí 🇳🇬 founding Sec-Gen OPC who comments on the Yoruba Nation's agitators recent incident in Ibadan & co... both share their views on Ngr's future.
Spoke this morning Sunrise Daily on the outcome of the coroner's inquest over Sylvester Oromini's death. Certainly, as a people with a govt, our society still owes Oromini family a decent & reasonable closure. Painfully, the Inquest report released yesterday has not done that
#WeeklyPonder There 'll be a ForeverDay; aka After-Life. Choices made now are responsible for whether that ForeverDay would be a good or bad one. This is settled knowledge. Investigate this personally & diligently. I have settled with a saviour who guarantees redemption by grace.
More of My Take on #InsideSources yesterday, including kudos to Mr. President, Air Peace & Festus Keyamo, SAN, CON, FCIArb (UK)
My Take yesterday on #InsideSources . Because we operate in the public place & for the public interest, there would be times for praise, criticism & even suggestions; all for the greatest good of the greatest number. The clip is part of some commendable developments we acknowledge
Last night on Channels Television I suggested that tariffs alone won't cure the liquidity crisis in the power sector, new sources of finances like an Energy Fund could be considered, certainly new investments are critical for the survival of the sector & estimated billing ought to end.
2 good segments on #InsideSources today, opening with Bola Ahmed Tinubu's ally in NADECO, an unrepentant critic of military dictatorship. He says everything else is bread & butter, but what the President must do mainly is give Nigeria a new constitution that restructures the country
My Take this week entitled WHO WILL TELL THE PRESIDENT?, among other issues, calls Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the knowledge of attempts by the authorities to intimidate the board of FIJ & 'Fisayo Soyombo. The President should be aware such could tarnish his reputation as a true democrat.
#InsideSources today has 2 segments: Mr. Falana is main guest, he tells among others, how people 're asking 'why is Nigeria failing to lead Africa?' The 2nd segment's a discussion on the fallouts of 'Fisayo Soyombo FIJ's investigative exposé on smuggling in the country. Watch-out.
#WeeklyPonder Resentment is a baggage that 'll weigh you down. Instead of it, look forward- there are better opportunities in front. Why get stuck in the past as to preclude things ahead that can brighten your life & preserve your delight? Wisdom, my friends, is principal thing!
#InsideSources . Thankful for the appreciations. Nigeria 'll be great in our time! It's our resolve, it's our passion, it's our country. We collaborate with all patriots without regard to partisanship, ethnicity, religion or any other exclusionary/divisive factors. We're together.
#InsideSources edition today hosts eminent politician & lawyer, former Bayelsa Gov. Dickson. He warns that Nigerian political elite 're attempting suicide, describes presidency & many Govs as emperors and observes that oil theft challenges are deliberate. So refreshingly frank!
