I HATE 2ND TERMS, former Oyo speaker

-
Kehinde Ayoola J P, former Oyo state speaker wrote on his facebook page:
I HATE 2ND TERMS. It is a bean-picking, come-easy-go-easy, insipid, uninspiring term with no motivation at all for the incumbent.
He already knows he won't need to come to the people for any vote again, at least for that office. So, he does as he likes. It has been difficult to pick out any governor whose 2nd term was better than the 1st. OBJ spent his own 2nd term, naively supported by Lam Adesina and the AD governors (they became the asses that OBJ rode to power), doing just two things. These two things had nothing to do with the masses of Nigeria. These two things were: (a)Fighting his Vice, Atiku Abubakar and (b) pursuing a 3rd Term agendum.
So, I think the people should make it harder for office holders to get second terms.
Politicians always manage to shoot themselves - or ourselves - in the foot each time we undergo Constitutional amendments. Well, next time they should try and shoot 4 or 5 feet higher. It'll be messy and bloody but I guess it's good for all of Nigeria who have endured their ineptitude, ethnic chauvinism, tribal jingoism, sectional irridentism and religious intolerance for too long. (Even pre-1960)!
Of course, it'll be like shouting an advice at a deaf man if one urges our incumbents not to seek 2nd Terms. Hehehe...turkeys don't vote for christmas!
But then, may God bless us with a just and egalitarian Federal Republic of Nigeria!
Enjoy your weekends please!

Curbing Extra-Judicial Killings In Nigeria

Curbing Extra-Judicial Killings In Nigeria By Okechukwu Nwanguma   “EXTRAJUDICIAL killing in the police remains a shocking common occurrence,” Eric Guttschuss, Human Rights Watch researcher for Nigeria, was quoted in a BBC report in May 2009, four years after the June 7 and 8, 2005 cold-blooded murder of five young male traders and a female student (the Apo six) by the police in Abuja. Eight years after this most infamous case of extrajudicial killing in Nigeria’s history, the criminal trial of the identified killer-police officers has gone nowhere. Families of the victims appear to have given up hope for justice, especially after the prime suspect was granted bail in 2006 by the trial Judge, Justice Isyaku Bello, on dubious health grounds. Othman Abdulsalam, the then DPO of Garki Police Station where they were killed, also ‘escaped’ from police custody and has remained at large till date. The Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, in his report, said: “If the Ap...

Lagos before Nigeria By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

More than 50 years before the creation of Nigeria as a united entity, Lagos is already a major centre of modern civilisation. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition, trade and commerce, infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED In the past few days, i have followed the unhealthy debate between easterners in Lagos and their host and i must say that such is really uncalled for. No tribe or race is an island of knowledge and civilisation. At one time or the other, each one of them contributed in one way or the other. While it is proper for every one to feel good about themselves and try as much as possible to amplify in a good way, their importance and contribution to the society they live in, it is also very crucial to take into account, the reality of other factors without attempting to ridicule the contribution of others. I therefore advise all those joining the discuss to thread with caution and avoid things that are capable of setting our peop...

Banking Sector Breeds Criminals - New Study

-
Banking Sector Breeds Criminals - New Study A cesspool of fraud and lies in the banking industry has come to light since the financial crisis of 2008, raising questions about how such rogue behaviour could have happened. What caused traders, asset managers and others in the money business to behave dishonestly? And how can dodgy behaviour be curbed? Scientists at the University of Zurich in Switzerland conducted an unusual psychology experiment to find out. Their results provide the first objective data for anecdotal evidence that the risk of fraud is rooted in a bank’s culture — and changing it may be painful. “Our results suggest that the social norms in the banking sector tend to be more lenient towards dishonest behaviour and thus contribute to the reputational loss in the industry,” said Michel Marechal, a professor of experimental economic research. In research reported in the journal Nature on Wednesday, the team recruited 128 employees from a large international ...
