  The sins  of the leadership and followership in Nigeria from the foundation of the myriad of problems  affecting the country. This assertion was made by Rev(Dr.) Olaolu Oyekanmi of the Amos World Outreach, the Christian Fellowship Evangelical Mission(CFEM), Moniya-Iseyin, Ijaiye-Orile, Ibadan, Nigeria. ''The major problem of the country revolves around the leadership and the followership. They have committed sins. If Nigerians can easily repent of their sins and change their behavior, activities and attitude, all will change for the better.'' ''The problems are not the change of leadership or change of political parties, but have more to do with the change of mind. If Nigerians don't change, things will not change for the better. Those-in Authority and Those-in-Charge are from different homes. There must be a change,'' Rev(Dr.) Oyekanmi stated.

Osun Guber : The People's Decision Will Prevail


Days to the Governorship election in Osun state, the Federal Government introduced a scheme, ''Trader Money'' to enable petty traders access interest free loans.

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo was at the Bola Ige International market, new Gbagi Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria to launch the scheme.

 In addition, the Federal Government  released billions of Naira to the Osun state  Government under the under leadership of Mr. Rauf Arof the state.
egbesola and under the cover the Paris Club refunds, to pacify  the poverty and hunger stricken workers.

Eight years is more than necessary to impact positively on the people of a state, if those who call the  the shots have what it takes to deliver the proverbial ''Dividends of Democracy''.

Even though the workers in the state endured the abnormality  of receiving half salaries  for  over three years, the voting pattern in last Saturday's elections in the state confirms that the  people are  no longer ready to embrace propaganda and deceit.

Sadly, despite the  landmark achievements of the state government infrastructure the construction of mega school buildings, Osun state,  occupys the 29th position in the rating of the  West African Examination(WAEC).

Of worry, is the N96.7 billion  debt hanging on the of the neck of Rauf  Aregbesola led government, regardless of the fact  that the national leader of the All Progressives (APC), recently  declared  that  the state  does not have his kind of money.

The first Presidential campaign of the APC  at Osogbo was anchored by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo,  while the second Presidential campaign was piloted, President Muhammadu Buhari alongside the ''heavy weights'' of the ruling party.

Surprisingly, President Buhari is out of the country for an official engagment.

The foregiong did not, however, have any impact on the results of the election, even though the tone of the returning officer, who announced the result of the election, was not only suspicous, but exposes the deceit in the election.

Informed sources at the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) insist  the number of irregularities were man made , when it was discovered that ''all was well''.

It is disturbing that some  INEC officials was arrested for tearing result sheets in some Local Governments.

Inspite of this, the people have  decided to havea firm grip of happenings in Osun state, even though those in power are not happy about the people's decision.
