The Decent For The Indecent, The Just For The Unjust – Femi Adesina

There’s a short video you can find online that brings tears to my eyes. It features soldiers of the Nigerian Army, four spry young men, the type of whom the Good Book says “the glory of young men is their strength,” and they are in a desert-like environment, in front of a rigged camp. Wearing battle fatigues and slinging guns round their shoulders, they are in an expansive mood, parodying a popular Christian praise song to reflect their situation and that of the country. “We are always gathered rugged every season, We are always good to go in this fight o We are always confronting every battle We are moving forward to end this fight “We are soldiers, say we have peace We have patience, say we are rugged We are all in armed forces Nigerian Army, Navy Air Force ...

Deconstructing The Buhari Administration’s Lies on Subsidy by Reno Omokri

There is no more unmistakable evidence for the dishonesty, dubiousness and downright gangsterism of the Buhari administration than the fuel subsidy heist that they have pulled in Nigeria.
