Kemi Adeosun: 5 reasons why Nigerians should be worried

-
Kemi Adeosun and Nigeria's failed institutions

The Kemi Adeosun's scandal, now refered to as #KemiGate has exposed how deficient our institutions are and we all need be worried. Beyond any doubt, it has been established that the former minister of Finance procured fake NYSC certificate, which she has now admitted in her resignation letter, many months after the news broke

These are 5 issues to worry about:

1. Adeosun obtained fake NYSC certificate, which is against the law. How did this happen?

2. Ogun State House of Assembly didn't detect this forgery and she was cleared for appointment as commissioner. A whole state legislative house.

3. DSS, Nigeria's intelligent agency didn't detect this also and she was adjudged by the agency as clean to be recommended as Minister. How? If DSS couldn't detect this simple matter, shouldn't we be worried about our national security?

4. National Assembly also didn't detect this highly sensitive matter as she was confirmed as Minister. I mean, we may overlook the state assembly and claim they have limited authority. What about the National Assembly? What stopped them from detecting this?

5. Surprisingly, what all our institution couldn't detect, a journalist, who is committed to duty detected it and establish the fact beyond any reasonable doubt.

Without any budget. Without allowance. Without power of oversight. Without security k nowledge.

The journalist did it.

Isn't this worrisome?

Civil Servant commits suicide in Kwara over unpaid salaries, group insist

-
The attention to Kwara Must Change has been drawn to a press statement credited to Senior Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor on Media and Communications, Dr. Muyideen Akorede who claimed that the Kwara State Government is unaware of any worker’s alleged suicide in the state. Kwara Must Change is not surprised that the Kwara State government is denying knowledge of the man made tragedy created by it, in furtherance of its cruel, inhuman and bad governance. A state government that owes State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) workers over 6 months salaries, yet claiming to owe no worker is nothing but a lying government. So, how would people be surprised if the same government is denying knowledge of this tragic incident that has thrown the entire state into mourning. Rather than clear its debt, pay workers and apologize for causing so much hardship for the good people of Kwara, the government has resorted to cheap denial and propaganda, something we consider very unfo...

Press Release Official withdrawal from the 2019 Presidential election. Good morning my dear friends, this is to inform you all that we were unable to persuade our party Action Democratic Party (ADP) to accept our offer of issuing the party presidential ticket to us in confidence. The need for the request came as a result of the high cost of both expression of interest and the nomination form which cost N800,000 and 8,000,000.00 respectively. It's therefore means that our name shall not be submitted to INEC for 2019 presidential elections. We did all we could to make the party see our project as a national project that would attract the necessary support and funding in due course but the party was not convinced about this. I want to thank you All most profoundly for your undiluted support, it has been a journey made possible by you all, although this was not the end intended, it has been worth each minute of it. Through the course of this journey, I have been privileged...
