As I joined my Boss His Excellency VP Yemi Osinbajo on an official visit to Ebonyi State yesterday, what I saw was massive, commendable and almost unbelievable.
Almost every piece of earth in the state of Ebonyi is under construction, has undergone massive construction, reconstruction, renovation or remodeling.
Although I have my reservation for quality of finishing, I must commend Governor Dave Umahi for embarking on such highly ambitious critical infrastructure drive such as concrete roads, modern markets, schools, airport, industries, recreational facilities, flyovers and bridges,
while still keeping the state's debt profile very low.
I was a student of the Comprehensive Secondary School, Unwana (UWASCO) in Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi State back in the late 90s during which I made my first trip to the Ebonyi State House of Assembly
as the Editor of the then highly revered Uwasco Press Club, on excursion.
Ever since then, I have been an ardent follower of the developmental progress in Ebonyi - from the administration of the first executive Governor of the State Dr Sam Egwu, to that of Governor Martins Elechi, and so I could tell the difference. Cc @DrJoeAbah
I must say that Governor Dave has distinguished himself and deserves commendation for a job well done, even as I would charge him to maintain the tempo and do even more, especially on the finishing of most of the projects,
which I understand is largely so because of the fact that the projects are mainly executed through direct labour - partly to save cost and create massive employment for Ebonyians, which is a wonderful idea.
Philip Obin,
Technical Assistant to the VP of Nigeria on New Media.

In the last 1 year, I have been added to more than 100 WhatsApp groups, created to raise funds for Funerals or Weddings, instead of groups to raise funds for research, education, social change, etc. If we must make meaningful progress, we need to review our priorities & values!
The most important elements of a marriage are the prideprce, plan for sustainable source(s) of livelihood and a happy home. Yet, some even borrow to finance their wedding.
For funerals, a regular coffin is all you owe a dead relative and to ensure you execute their will accordingly, if they left one behind.
