A NATION OF PROCRASTINATORS

BVN: We refused to do on time. We cried for extension.

REGISTER FOR NIN: We did not do. We demanded for extension.

LINK THE NIN TO PHONE LINE: We vehemently refused until lines were blocked and yet we demanded extension.
REGISTER FOR PVC: We refused to do till the last minute. We demanded for extension.

COLLECT THE PVC: Whosaii!! Even after they were brought to our wards, we refused to collect. We want an extension.

DEPOSIT OLD NAIRA NOTES: For where? The deadline must be extended.
The way we rationalise and defend our 'right' to demand for extensions, I am seriously thinking that the national assembly should pass a bill to include the extension of the deadline for every national exercise in the Nigerian constitution.
Growing up, we were (at least I was) taught that 'procrastination is the lazy man's apology' and the Boys Scout's motto was 'Be Prepared'.
Then again, I really do not know what to think about us again. I just think we are simply not ready yet.

My One Kobo Though.

This picture will break you after melting you; this is the governor of Nasarawa State Engr Abdullahi A Sule consoling a boy who had just lost his father. The boy wrecked by grief sat helplessly by the remains of his father who has become a heap of sand- the Image
boy, will forever not see his darling father again. It was the helplessness of the boy in his grief-stricken state that caught the attention of the governor who had come to bury his own son and walked to the boy.
United in same tragedy, the boy and the governor found solace in each other. This picture is embedded in deep message, just when you think your woes are worst, you are reminded of others' more gripping woes. Stricken by the death of his first son, the governor saw a boy

The former Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase has just

PETER OBI, THE NORTH AWAITS YOUR AUGUST VISIT

I could remember that Peter Obi came to power on the 17th March 2006 while the famous Onitsha crisis, which led to the killings of Northerners, occurred on the 21st and 22nd of February 2006. That was almost a month gap.

@PeterObi
Our first meeting with Obi also coincided with his first visit to the town; all arrangements were done to receive the first citizen of the state and also to explain our predicament to him at that moment. As refugees in Army Barrack Onitsha, we took him from the

FESTUS KEYAMO DROPS THE MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS

Who are you calling dictator ?

Ex- President Obasanjo removed Senate Presidents at will, removed any opposing voice, removed Fayose for a small insult, and removed Ladoja with thugs in Ibadan. Who are you calling “DICTATOR”? BUHARI.
Ex-President OBJ withheld Lagos State fund for 3 years, not minding how Lagosians would eat, Yaradua got there and released the fund.

NASS members were abusing President Buhari openly, messing up everything at will; Gov. Fayose has been abusing President Buhari for 4 years now.
Not a single State in Nigeria has been denied their constitutional rights because of politics till date, all their funds, Paris fund and bail out, FAAC etc. But who is the DICTATOR? BUHARI.

Ex-President Jonathan ensured that NASS opposition members were locked out including

*PRESS RELEASE!_*

*TrakaNG & BudgITng goof on Paiko ICT project facilitated by @MohdSaniMusa

We read a fallacious and misleading report promoted by TrackaNG on Twitter on Friday 7th May, 2021.
The report reads: “OVERPRICED!!!
N125m was allocated in the 2020 FG budget for capacity building in ICT for Youths, Girl-Child Education/Provision of Laptops in Niger East Senatorial District, Niger State.
We tracked and report that the Laptops are yet to be supplied and facility under LOCK and KEY".

We regard TrackaNG claims as baseless, misleading and fake.

TrackaNG is an anti-system tool of the opposition with an objective to blackmail Distinguished Sen. Mohammed Sani Musa

*What Is the Debt-to-GDP Ratio?*
@ShehuSani The debt-to-GDP ratio is the metric comparing a country's public debt to its gross domestic product (GDP). By comparing what a country owes with what it produces, the debt-to-GDP ratio reliably indicates that particular country’s ability to pay back its debts.
@ShehuSani Often expressed as a percentage, this ratio can also be interpreted as the number of years needed to pay back debt, if GDP is dedicated entirely to debt repayment.

A country able to continue paying interest on its debt--without refinancing, and without hampering economic
