I have given up many times, after I had explored all chances and opportunities without success. I have given up many times, after all hope seems lost without any possibility of redemption. I have given up so many times, after i had tried and exhausted all my talent, skills, hardwork and network. Yes, I have given up many times, after running to God in prayers and my prayers seems not getting to the most high. In my mind, I no I am finished. It's all over for me. My so called intelligence has failed and my prayers unanswered. I have lose hope many times when my vast knowledge hit the brick wall and my network helpless. Trust me, nothing is so humbling like when your greatest strength seems to be so useless and even those who shared in your idea, passion, patriotism and activism are too consumed in their own issues to come t...

    -
    The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the comment by Chief Edwin Clark, that if the opposition has its way it can poison or kill President Goodluck Jonathan just to take power, is absurd, incendiary and unbecoming of an elder statesman of the Chief’s stature. In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Chief Clark’s comment, which was widely reported by newspapers, is the latest in a string of statements by President Jonathan’s supporters that are overheating the polity ahead of the 2015 general elections and are even threatening the peace and unity of the country. ”We have waited for several days to give Chief Clark the opportunity to deny making such a fallacious statement, but he has not done so, which means he was not misquoted and that he indeed meant what he said. ”It is time for the President himself to call his supporters to order for the sake of the peace and unity of our dear nation. They ha...
