Improved Power: A Fluke or Reality?

-
From personal experience to questions and responses from acquaintances, there is a general consensus that power supply has considerably improved in Nigeria. It is not as if, it is yet Uhuru, but the fact is Nigerians now have access to more power than ever.

Unfortunately, while many are won't of complaining in the days of power outage, hardly is any Nigerian commending the government for this improved power supply. Somehow, I share the sentiment of many Nigerians in this regard. Discussing some core antagonists of this government, they believed the improved power supply is just a farce as naturally, power supply is always better during raining season. And truly, they have a basis in this regard.

The second argument is premised on Nigerians pessimistic opinions and views who believed an average Nigeria government cannot be entirely rely upon as many times  previously, the country witnessed somewhat improved power supply only to snowballed latter.

Whatever the case, the fact is there has been improved power supply and for this, the PMB-led government deserved to be commended, and like I said and maintained earlier, this government no doubt meant well, the question however is if there are enough resources to do so, besides the need for romburst policy framework. 

One thing however is cleared about this government is that given time, and acceptance of liberality, the government may as well be said to be on a verge of making history especially if the C-in-C will allow the likes of Fashola, Kachikwu, Adeosun, among others do their job with little or no interference. Equally important is the need to listen to constructive criticism and policy alternatives from expert and well meaning Nigerians.

Thank you for your time.

God bless Nigeria!

2019 - A YEAR OF DECISION

-
2019 - A YEAR OF DECISION Dear friends, I'm happy you made it to 2019. It is a rare privilege, and I do hope you won't take it for granted. Many people wished and prayed to see this day, but were not able to see it. It therefore becomes important that we make the year counts. The law of motion says: everything remains in a state of rest until it is moved. What this means is that everything we wish or have prayed for this year will require our inputs. In simple term, do you want more money, and you are in paid employment. You may need to ask for a raise in your place of work, and if your employer won't do that despite being convinced you are giving your best, don't hesitate to change your job. Alternatively, you may need to do side hustle if your job permits. Better still, you may quit to start your business. Are you in a toxic relationship or you don't even have a reliable partner, yet you would like to marry this year, encourage your partner to change, and if

LIFE VOYAGE IS ROOTED IN BILLOWS

-
Life is a voyage which all men undertake, for we are mere mortal with divine mandate. In our sojourn, we are bound to face countless hills and mountains. Some we easily succumbed, others maybe so overwhelming that we have to meander around them, yet in all we must never succumb to the dictates of fate. But here lies the paradox between fate and destiny. In essence, what is fate, what is destiny? Should we say fate is the sum total of fortunes and misfortunes that befalls on our part to destiny- the eternal (most times unknown) glorious end that await us and that we all aspire to be in the nearest future? Or is our fate our destiny? In that case, everything that happens to us is our fate and is our destiny. Maybe or maybe not, one thing is however clear like Job said: a man cannot enjoy all the goods in life without a taste of a sour moment. Suffice to say, permanent happiness or sadness is a myriad. In all our days, we are bound to make choices that will latter define us now and la

THE CITY OF LAGOS by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,

-
*_Novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who has lived in Lagos on and off for a decade has written an essay for Esquire's new Travel & Adventure issue, in which she reflected on life in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos. Read below:_* Lagos will not court you. It is a city that is what it is. I have lived part-time in Lagos for 10 years and I complain about it each time I return from my home in the US — its allergy to order, its stultifying traffic, its power cuts. I like, though, that nothing about Lagos was crafted for the tourist, nothing done to appeal to the visitor. Tourism has its uses, but it can mangle a city, especially a developing city, and flatten it into a permanent shape of service: the city’s default becomes a simpering bow, and its people turn the greyest parts of themselves into colourful props. In this sense, Lagos has a certain authenticity because it is indifferent to ingratiating itself; it will treat your love with an embrace, and your hate with a shrug. W
