Feel free to give up, feel free to lose hope

If you do not give up, you may never come up. If you do not lose hope, you may not birth hope. So, feel free to give up. Feel free to lose hope. 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

DEFENDING A PEOPLE: ADDICTED TO SUFFERING (1) by Miriam Yakubu

Many years ago, I wanted to be a nurse but requirement was to be a certified nursing aide with 3 months experience in hospital environment. So I register for a 2 weeks nursing aide classes. I was new in town, don't know my way around and don't know a whole bunch of stuff. I was late on my first day to class, because I mistakenly dropped two busstop short. And instead of taking the next bus with my day pass, I walked it. Into a class already in session, I walked in front of the whole class, towards the teacher who was seated facing the door. I stood blocking the projector ray, and said "good morning Mrs. Givens." "Please call me Tina, get a seat and good morning" she gnarled, as she motioned towards empty seats at the back, and turned her face swiftly back to her slides. MY THINKING: Instead of walking quietly to a seat, I wanted to greet my teacher; good morning, explain why I was late, and apologise. And probably wait for her to decide whether to

By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Most popular US senator, Bernie Sanders has announced is entrance into the 2020 US presidential race. Two days ago, the runner up to Hilary Clinton in the race to 2016 democratic nomination launched is 2020 campaign at Brooklyn with over 1 million volunteers across the country. People ordinarily wouldn’t vote for any unknown third party. This is the same all over the world. Voting for an unknown third party will be extremely hard, especially a third party, whose campaign they are not seeing on TV and Radio almost all the time. But you can still break the jinx, says Bernie Sanders, a strong U.S presidential candidate in the 2016 general election, now the major candidate in the race for 2020. Before venturing into politics, many thought it was impossible for a third party candidate to win election in U.S. To a lot of people, only Democrats and Republican are destined to win, but Bernie disagreed. He believed that, if Democrats and Republican can do i

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

-

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

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

Femi Gbajabiamila's G-wagon gift and multi million suit

I have read many opinions on the purported N50 million G-wagon vehicle that Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila gifted to his wife on her 50years birthday. I have also seen the reactions of people, regarding his multi million naira suit on that special occasion. Let me start by saying that, I congratulate Mrs Gbajabiamila on her 50th birthday. I even congratulate her more, for retaining the love and affection of her beloved husband. This is the most important gift, not the G wagon. G wagon is a vehicle and vehicle have just a purpose. To convey you from one place to another and I don't think it's a sign of love to gift a lover expensive vehicle. To be honest, peoples reaction on the matter is not out of place. If you represent millions of people as their leader, earning millions of naira in their name, yet most of them are struggling to have 3 square meals and you went ahead to buy a car worth 50m as gift to your wife, while wearing a suit that cost over a million, there is noth
