First with details then facts

It's remarkable that Gov. Buni has recruited over 3,199 youth workers into the civil service since assuming office in 2019. This is part of his administration commitment to provide job opportunities for the youths, poverty alleviation and stepping up service delivery to the people.

Like his predecessors in office, the resuscitation of the recklessly abandoned Ajaokuta Steel Company (ASCO), the largest integrated steel complex in the Sub-Saharan Africa, occupying 800 hectares of land on 24,000 hectares of an expansive greenfield area, was one of the promises President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) made to the people of Kogi State to secure their votes in 2015.

In times past, Nigerian leaders were fond of snubbing the local media and travelling abroad to break very important news stories that qualify as “world exclusives” to foreign media. Some put this down as a factor of the colonial mentality still ravaging African leaders centuries after the slave trade and decades after these countries had obtained what is derisively referred to as “flag independence” from their colonial masters.

A leader like Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand doesn’t come in tens. Not even in twos. And so, it was such a bright day on October 26, 2017, when she took office as New Zealand’s Prime Minister.

I spent well over three weeks in my hometown this holiday season. Throughout that stay, my consciousness played games with me: my heart entreated me to stay put, while my mind urged me to bolt as quickly as I could. If I followed my mind I would have bade goodbye to my village just 4 days after arrival! But I stayed put for over three weeks of deep reflections and valuable introspection.

Few days ago, I stumbled upon, and began to read once more, the epochal, historical, and profound 1776 American Declaration of Independence. The abuse and violation of rights; and the disdain in which the American colonies were held by the British Crown, beggars belief! The blunt and arrogant refusal of Britain to lessen the burden of the colonies imitated Solomon’s son, Rehoboam, who disdainfully told suppliant Israelis begging him to lessen their suffering: My father scourged you with horsewhip (but) I will scourge you with scorpions! In the final analysis, Rehoboam lost a chunk of the kingdom; the British Crown was not as lucky as it lost the American colonies completely. Crowns everywhere usually exhibit an arrogance that eventually leads to their annihilation: in France with the Bourbon kings leading to the 1789 French revolution and in Ethiopia leading to the deposition and disgrace of Emperor Haile Selassie on 12 September, 1974.
