  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. He also disclosed that a three day crusade tagged ''The Only Way to Save you and Nigeria''

President Buhari Intends to Recycle List America Gave OBJ-Dr. Agoro


The Presidential  candidate of the National Action Council, Dr. Olapade Agoro has declared that the list of prominent Nigerians placed on travel ban by the present administration was the was the same as that  the United States of America gave  Chief(Dr.)Olusegun Obasanjo during his first term as President.

Dr. Agoro made this declaration in a chat with Federationews2day.

He also called on President  Muhammadu Buhari to bar those on the watch list from contesting for elective positions in the 2019 general elections.
''Nigerians  are dead heads, when it comes to news coverage. You discover that Nigerians make noise out of nothing. If President Muahmmadu Buhari is bold, if President Muhammdu Buhari is  courageous, he should order that those on the list shouldb be barred from contesting for the general elections, they should be barred by INEC.''

''The United States of America(USA) gave President Olusegun Obasanjo the list during his first term as President. The list had big names. The list vanished from his table. The US sent another list.  President Buhari is making noise out of nothing. The list America gave Nigeria during Chief Obasano's tenure is what they have being recycling. And nobody has taken any firm decision. Those on the list have been travelling. The President should say that anyone indicted for corruption should be prevented from contesting elections. Anyone having a corruption case should be barred from the electoral process until such a person obtains clearance'', he opined.

Dr. Agoro opined that there were more qualified Nigerians to lead the country aside from the incumbent President and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
''I don't see the two names as anybody, I don't see President Buhari and Alhaji Abubakar as people we should be rejoicing over in the polity, there are better names, there are better people'', he concluded.

The Grassroots and Government

Image
The importance of the Local Government revolves around the need to attend to the expectations and welfare of the people at the grassroots. In addition, the Local Government plays a vital role in Federal schemes of education, housing, transport among others, nationwide. It adopts the mainline of policy to local conditions. Sadly, the Local Government, under the present dispensation in Nigeria, is not independent. Interestingly, a number of Chairmen and Councillors elected from their neighborhoods, now focus on recruiting cultists and other categories of criminals to intimidate, terrorize and attack residents of several communities, as social services continue to remain a mirage. Indeed, these elected officials are not known by the vast majority of the populace at the grassroots, while development is only on the pages of newspapers and speakers of radios. Curiously, the character of growth to meet the needs of the poverty-stricken people come with lies, half-truths, and promises, ev
