1. Buhari sacks agencies’ boards, NIMASA boss
Hephzibah: I agree with this comment - "I believe anybody can be appointed from any part of the country, as long as he/she will perform – that is what we want! However Buhari must also take into account the ethno-religious peculiarities of a plural society like Nigeria." Also, please remove silly agencies that have not justified their existence since inception. I wonder why boards established by the 1999 Constitution were exempted while boards established by Acts (which are also Laws of the Federation) are not...Why dissolve a board when there is no replacement? Hmmmm
Meanwhile, The Punch, why is it that funny picture of PMB where he has the "Oya, slap yourself for that nonsense you just said" look that you used? That picture is soooo amusing...

2. DSS operatives invade Ex-NSA’s residences
Hephzibah: This comment captures my EXACT sentiment - "Really? So Nigeria now recovers looted funds by Invading the homes of the suspects? So what happened to inviting this people or charging them to court if Government has any evidence against them? This approach leaves a sour taste in the mouth."
Meanwhile, I tried but couldn't help laughing as I read that the text message sent to Ms. Marilyn Ogar (to confirm the incident) FAILED TO DELIVER. Please let me know if you succeeded in keeping a straight face after reading that. Lol.

3. Ambode okays prosecution of Synagogue, engineers.
Hephzibah: Watching to see how this goes...

4. Caller Tunes: Glo, MTN pay musicians N9bn royalties
Hephzibah: So, you people are charging me for caller tunes (by force) to pay your brand ambassadors...

5. Osun assembly sets up panel to probe Aregbesola
Hephzibah: Why is PDP not represented in the probe panel? I don't wanna be hearing no #FamilyAffair story ooo

6. We won't accept election results under Zakari - PDP
Hephzibah: Erm, PDP, no vex but this one no enter...Keep pointing out that the INEC chairperson's independence MAY be compromised due to her relationship with the president but rejecting election results without evidence of foul play isn't wise...

7. Marketers resume petrol imports
Hephzibah: Please let's increase our refining capacity and eliminate the need for importation...These marketers aren't loyal...

8. Ogun teachers threaten legal action against First Bank
Hephzibah: After the EFCC cleared the teachers, I hope they gave them transport fare back home...FirstBank, please apologise to the teachers and carry out proper investigations, please...

9. Poll scores Buhari 70 percent in first month
Hephzibah: Erm, The Punch, what was the second question the poll asked? The first one sef, I wonder what the respondents were thinking...Maybe food and fuel prices are low in their own areas ooo. I'm still waiting for the day when a basket of tomatoes for 200 Naira (forget about 20 Naira, I've lowered my expectations).

10. Psychiatrists desert hospital over recurrent attacks from lunatics
Hephzibah: Why are there no trained security personnel to douse violent situations? This situation is quite worrisome...

11. Sallah: Police ban social gatherings in Kaduna
Hephzibah: I understand the security concerns but I think it's somehow that the Commissioner of Police will rather expend energy arresting people going about their lawful business than focus on doing their job of protecting lives and livelihoods...Misplaced priorities!

12. Lekki robbery suspect sues police for N1m
Hephzibah: Seriously, why has the police not charged the dude to court since April 5? Hmmm

13. It'll be difficult to reproduce the '94 squad - Oliseh
Hephzibah: Bros, if it is part of your "campaign promises" to reproduce the '94 squad, please do. I don't think that's necessary, though. Just put together a great team, deal with the "entitled mentality" of some of the players, manage NFF influence properly and please ADDRESS INDISCIPLINE. And please, win as many matches as possible, lol.

14. Cabinet delay worries investors
Hephzibah: "Investigations revealed that a lot of investment pacts that ought to have been sealed have been left pending owing to the absence of a cabinet". Baba, this delay is worrisome.

I know this sounds like #Aproko but why didn't Madam Aisha not go to the same praying ground with PMB for Ramadan prayers? Barka da Sallah to my friends who are Muslim faithfuls.

Please continue to contribute your quota to nation-building and to lift your country up in prayers.
