21 reasons why Nigeria needs a young president in 2019

-
Young people in Nigeria are clamoring for space in the political system, but some critics have argued that the youths are not different from the older generations. Mr Rights is proud to bring to your attention, 21 reasons why Nigeria needs a young president in 2019. Enjoy. 1. How do you unite a divided nation? Simple, you put young people in charge. A Young president will have the moderation to unite the nation irrespective of old grudges, myths and misconception. 2. A young president will not be too rigid in taking decisions; he or she will be more open to reason and more flexible to learn new things to simplify processes. 3. A young president will have less personal political scores to settle with opponents that will consume his or her time and energy, unlike the old people who must have had several unresolved issues with different people at various times. 4. People who provide resources for a presidential campaign can significantly dictate the direction of government and its policies. By raising funds to support a young president, the citizens will take charge of their own Government. A people’s funded young president cannot be scared of dealing with the vested interest holding our nation to ransom in various sectors, he or she owes them nothing and with the people’s mandate, he can effectively dismantle their corrupt grip on the nation. 5. A young president comes in with energy, innovation and creativity that is obviously missing in our nations leadership since the return to democracy in 1999. A young president will bring in 21st century innovation to leadership. 6. Any society that does not succeed in tapping into the energy and creativity of its youth will be left behind. A young president will understand the needs and priority of the younger generation and be able to energize them to be productive like their counterpart in the industrialized world. 7. Increased educational attainment, advances in technology and the spread of information have made the young generation the best educated, most connected and most informed. A young president will utilize this modern resourcefulness to redirect the nation’s path for greatness. 8. A Young president is in a better position to lead the anti-ethnic and religious division, as the globalized world and internet has allowed him more opportunities to learn about different cultures and religion. 9. A young president cannot do things in an archaic manner; he or she will embrace the use of technology in every aspect of government, as it is critical to efficient service delivery for the people. 10. A young president will digitilize the civil service to make working environment friendlier, accountability easier and the workers more efficient. 11. The youths are said to be the backbone of every nation, but what happens when the said backbone of the nation are relegated, neglected, under nourished and denied their rightful duties and roles in shaping the society? A young president shall give the youths their rightful role and responsibility in government. 12. Many projects conceived specifically for the benefits of the youths have proven not effective due to lack of youthful passion required to actualize it. A young president shall approach leadership with the required passion and enthusiasm to implement all projects that will serve the younger generation. 13. A young president is capable of identifying errors that are holding the nation down in the old practices, those errors that have been preventing the nation from moving forward but couldn’t be seen by the older leaders. His fresh insight shall help the nation eliminate such errors. 14. A young president will note and attach value to what the older people will ignore knowingly or unknowingly, something that may be a key to solving the challenges facing the nation. 15. A young president will have the capacity to understand challenges facing the young population of the country and providing solutions to those challenges. 16. The young president has the capacity of seeing new things, new possibilities, new opportunities and exploring new ways of doing things. He will create new hope, new dreams, new possibilities as well as new opportunities. 17. A young president will prioritize the development of entertainment sector, as well as technological strength. 18. A young president cannot appoint old people into all major decision making positions. He shall give young people more opportunities to influence their society. 19. A young president will understand the need for a conducive business environment. He shall work to provide an enabling environment for young people to grow. 20. The future belongs to the young people, as they are the ones that will be living in it. A young president will allow young people to decide their own future, through effective input into policy direction. 21. The truth must be told, Nigeria cannot get it right by recycling old and failed leaders, who brought the country to this rotten state. The answer to a better Nigeria is a young president.

5 facts about O TO GE slogan and the collapse of Saraki's dynasty

-
Image
Kwara Must Change 1. Alh. LAK Jimoh was the first politician in modern history of Kwara state to use the O TO GE slogan in a campaign. O TO GE simply means, Enough is Enough.  Alhaji Jimoh first used the slogan in 2011 when he was contesting the Kwara Central Senatorial seat under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Bukola Saraki eventually won the ticket and went ahead to represent Kwara Central at the Senate.  While the slogan wasn't popular at the time, there's no taking away the fact that Alh LAK Jimoh used it first and could be rightly credited to be the originator. 2. 8 years later, the slogan idea was pitched again in 2018 immediately after the All Progressive Congress primary election in Kwara State. After the APC primary election, Islamic singer, Aminat Obirere produced a song titled o to ge as part of a joint album coordinated by Kwara Must Change to promote the candidature of APC governorship candidate, Alh. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. The album itself was titled

CONSTITUENCY PROJECTS AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS: THREAT OR OPPORTUNITY? BY JAYE GASKIA

-

Fourteen years after the practice and phenomenon of Constituency projects began to evolve in the legislative practice and appropriation process of the 4th Republic, the phenomenon has grown to become pervasive across the Federation with both Federal and state legislatures now fully embracing the practice. Yet, nearly a decade and half on, there is still no clarity regarding the practice, with respect to any form of agreed framework guiding its implementation. There is, as of the moment of writing this piece in 2018, no policy, legislative nor institutional framework underlying and providing not only pragmatic, but also scientific criteria and parameter for determining the why, how, and where of constituency projects. And even though there are currently draft bills being considered by both chambers of the National Assembly [NASS] aimed at providing a regulatory framework for the practice, the bills have nevertheless remained stuck within the opaque labyrinth of the legislative proce

........ call on Nigerians to trust INEC An independent Non Governmental Organisation, Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP) has called on the Nigerian people to have faith in their country & give chance to Government Institutions like Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), being the Nigerian electoral body to finish up what its started. The elections cannot be concluded if announcement of Presidential election results cannot be made. The organisation frowned at reckless statements coming from political parties, organisations and foreign  individuals aimed at heating up the polity just to pitch Nigerians against each other. In a statement issued by the Executive Director, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, FPP stated that after the successful conduct of the 2019 general election, the two leading political parties in Nigeria have been raising false alarms without basis. According to Hamzat, "the baseless and unsubstantiated alarms being raised by the ruling All Progress

The Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar story (part two) "My relationship with General Babangida" “I had on several occasions in the past explained why I enjoy a very close relationship with IBB. IBB was my instructor at the Nigerian Defence Academy. Since then, I found him to be a very brilliant and inspiring officer. In fact, he had great influence on my career choice of the armoured corps, being an amour officer himself. Of course, we had disagreements, some of them quite straining, but they have not succeeded m changing my perception of him. This is true with most officers who worked closely with the man. With all this, I had never allowed such a close personal relationship to becloud my vision and judgment of his performance as a superior officer, particularly during his eight‑year rule as President and C‑in‑C. Mr. Edwin Madunagu, a man I have high regards for as an accomplished intellectual and a socially concerned person, confirmed what I have always suspected that most ou

What Drake has in common with Davido

If you have been following the American hip hop scene lately, you must have heard about the beef between Drake and Pusha T, the President of kanye West Good Music. On Friday, Pusha T dropped Daytona, a 21-minute album currently making wave in America. Closing out the album’s seven-track run was “Infrared,” a lyrical track addressing the dubious artistry of Drake, a longtime thorn in Push’s side. On the infrared track, Pusha T slammed Drake once again for using ghost writer and many others. In the usual Drake manner, the God’s Plan hit maker fired back with a track titled “Duppy Freestyle”—released less than 24 hours after Pusha T’s album dropped, where he dispensed the grievances about his history with ghostwriting. Drake went further to drag Kanye West into the rap battle, saying he had once assisted Kanye on a track, a collaboration well aknowleded by Mr. West. In the Drake’s response, he also dragged the name of Pusha T’s wife into the battle and all hell let loose.
