Fashola The Teflon Don

By Yomi Okusanya Scott

When you're big , you're large is a popular saying in Nigeria.

Fashola can be accused of killing 10,000 infants and using their blood to water his garden for all his admirers care but he cleared Oshodi of miscreants , built a bridge , etc ..so he gets a pass from them , come rain , come sun
That's what years of misrule subconsciously does to one's psyche ...I feel his defenders on that note ...

To Fashola's 'detractors'.... I got news for you ...Quit trying ... Nothing is going to stick .

To Fashola ...Don't say a word, they got your back .

I care less about what the motivation behind these revelations are . The fundamental question is this , Are these allegations true or not ..

Making Nigerians go thorough a 'punishing' tax regime is the best thing any government can do for Nigerians ..40% income tax , 30% on goods and services .

That should help rewire our brains ..where public funds management is concerned at the very least, if nothing else.

'Free' oil money has dumbed down grey matte

By Abdullahi Yusuf Abuja The recent happings in Zaria regarding the Islamic Movement of Nigeria Army clash m a y have come to some people as a surprise, with some citizens describing the group as an unarmed and peaceful group. But it is never a surprise to especially those living in the northern part of the country especially those who live in Zaria, Kaduna, katsina, Kano Sokoto and other Northern States . There is no one who lives in the north that will ascribe peace to this group of peaple who operate with impunity, without regard s to other people’s right.
