Buhari was in Bayelsa, asks voters to kick out PDP.

According to him Nigerians should either
make a wise choice in the next election
by voting the APC or remain in perpetual
suffering.
“If you want to know how much we
have been suffering under the PDP
since 1999, try and imagine what our
condition was in 1999. We used to have
Nigerian airways, we used to have
Nigerian shipping lines, the roads were
not too bad, even light itself was not too
bad,” he said.
He said under the watch of PDP, many
industries had closed shops, leading to
backwardness in industrialization.
Buhari noted that the ruling party had
shown total disrespect to democratic
institutions and lack of political will to
stop corruption.
“What is wrong? What is wrong is
massive corruption. If we don’t kill
corruption in Nigeria, corruption will kill
us,” he said, adding that corruption had
made it impossible for the country to
develop its potential.
He recalled that under PDP many panels
of inquiries were set up and people were
indicted for corrupt practices in the
petroleum and other sectors.

He said the PDP had brought nothing
but untold hardship to Nigerians, adding
that another four years of the PDP would
further plunge the country into misery.
He asked the people to compare 1999
when the PDP took over the reins of
power with the present realities,
observing that everything had gone from
bad to worse.

Ikokore : An Ijebu Food

Ifokore, is a Yam Pottage dish made with Water Yam  not White Yam. It is a pottage recipe from the Ijebu people of Ogun state and ijebu from Lagos state , Nigeria. I’m yet to come across an Ijebu person who doesn’t love Ikokore,  Ikokore remains a staple in an ijebu household. To really enjoy Ikokore, you’ll need to incorporate as much proteins as you possibly can to enrich it. Your best bets are Shaki, ( intestine ) Ponmo, Chicken, Goat meat, Gizzard, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Fish, Panla, Eja Kika, the more the merrier. The authentic Ikokore recipe requires no blended pepper, it calls for just Scotch Bonnet (Ata rodo) and in some cases, dry ground pepper but I’m not too keen on hot and spicy dishes so I settle for Shombo. Ingredients: A Tuber of Water yam 3 Cooking spoons Palm Oil 4 Cups Chicken or Beef Stock/ Water #100 Shombo/Tatashe or 4Tablespoons dry ground pepper #50 Scotch Bonnet (ata Rodo) Smoked Fish (Eja Kika) or Shawa (Bonga fish)Shredd...

MY FACT ABOUT BIAFRA.

This is a part some people will not like to hear, but we will say it here for historical purposes. When the great Biafran leader, Col. Dim Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu was granted a state pardon by President Shehu Shagari in 1982, the Ikemba soon contested for Senate under the then National Party of Nigeria (NPN), but did his people vote for him? Lest we also forget, he contested for the presidency, how many votes did he got even in Anambra? Let us bring in Chief Alex Ekweme. We recall, despite being founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),he contested for the party nomination for president in 2002. We all remember how the South-East governors then did all they could to outdo themselves to be seen to be more loyal to President Olusegun Obasanjo than even his own ministers. There was nothing wrong in all these for these people as long as it all guarantees fat bank accounts and unmerited rewards. No one talks about Biafra when contract figures are inflated; Biafra makes no sense ...

STRAIGHTalk with Dr. Doyin Okupe

One major characteristic feature of a Representative Democracy is the ability of the government to be accountable to the citizens. Since elected public office holders assumed power through public votes, it becomes imperative of them to remain accountable to the public. However, Public Accountability in governing the affairs of people and management of public asset especially in Nigeria has remained questionable. Public Institutions such as, EFCC, ICPC and indeed Code of Conduct Bureau/Tribunal established to hold public office holders accountable to the electorates have become political machinery to whittle-down the power of oppositions. Notwithstanding all these, the present administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria has consistently promised to be more accountable to the electorates.
