HCOTN 10072016 (Part 2)

1. FG to phase out mud houses
Hephzibah: Including the one PMB declared as an asset? Issorait...

2. Protest against Ekweremadu's trial
Hephzibah: No wonder PDP chiefs were begging Ooni to epp Otunba Omisore. Which kind of people are we? If these people are innocent and are being kept in prison for no reason, the protests will make sense. Please let the law take its full course and stop embarrassing us na....

3. Abia crisis: Judge was misled, says PDP chieftain
Hephzibah: Erm, if a Governor is sacked because of forged tax documents (rightly so), what about elected officials that cannot produce their WAEC certificates (I didn't call anybody's name o)

4. Benue singer framed for murder released after SUNDAY PUNCH report.
Hephzibah: Which kind of country is this na? A policeman framed John Edwards for murder when he tried to retrieve his Blackberry Z30 phone that was seized by the policeman. Which kind of report is this sef? We don't even have the policeman's name. It shouldn't just end with "leaving it to God". Which kind of nonsense is this na?

5. Buhari's appointments: A tilt towards the North.
Hephzibah: Out of 17 "top" positions, only 3 are occupied by Southerners. I'm for meritocracy. However, it is statistically impossible to prove that the North only has people that are qualified for these positions. If so, what are we saying again about "educationally disadvantaged" states. Please make up your minds - Is the North full of so many qualified professionals and therefore we need to scrap that "educationally disadvantaged" nonsense when granting admissions into schools? Or is the North educationally disadvantaged and our president is guilty of nepotism, which is a terrible form of corruption?

6. Buratai: Buhari's anti-corruption war on trial
Hephzibah: So, what are we going to do about our Chief of Army Staff? Is he corrupt? If yes, will EFCC take him on like they've done with Col Dasuki? If he truly bought the houses with his savings, can we know the business that he did that yielded $1.5 million. Me sef, I want to invest in that business. Forget all those MLMs that'll tell you that they sell "household products" like toothpaste when they are pitching but when you check well, there is nothing like toothpaste in what they're offering...So so bleaching cream...shior...General Buratai, don't mind the "haters" jere...Please show us the way sah.

7. Buhari's body language is changing - Prof Akinyemi
Hephzibah: I sure hope so. Quarrelling with Niger Delta militants no epp anybody, particularly as he pretends not to hear no evil about Book Haram insurgents, aka Fulani Herdsmen

8. Buhari's leading women
Hephzibah: I still miss Mama Peace and Aunty Ngozi. Aunty Kemi no know Maths and na so so Aisha and Amina remain. No glamour sef....Really, these are the leading women? Nigerian women, really? Sigh!

9. What Nigeria can learn from Sao Time and Principe - Taofick Okoya
Hephzibah: Uncle Taofick has useful ideas on what Nigeria can learn from Sao Time and Principe. He says Nigeria can emulate the way they've preserved their environment. They seem to have incorporated habitats of the resorts without really disrupting the ecosystem. Any Ecopreneur reading this? Let's see how we can use this FREE lesson...

So, I'll move on to Business Gist on my Business Blog. Keep praying for Nigeria o. It's up to you and I to keep contributing our quota to national development. Be encouraged.

May God bless and prosper the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
