Father!!! Always on top!!! This salutation slang should have been the best to give the celebrator if the political aura had moved from Alimosho to Marina in complete spirit the high number of the progressives had graced the occasion. But the outer mood of the joyous ambience appeared to have overwhelmed the spirit of political glamour the guests of interest here symbolicaly represent. Perhaps if the slogan had made its shindig at the event, it could have been a strange cry to the man of the event. But the spouse would have aptly pick it as a message of home coming -- the shift of Alimosho terrain to the Island. "The Mountain has come to the prophet", she will say. Literally to say the political family of his spouse had come to pay their homage. The slang would have been their libation because that alone -- the voice of politics -- is a significant mark of the happiness to see in the former Deputy Governor of Lagos State now Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sus...

THE MEETING POINT OF JOFIEC AND AGT IN 'PROJECT RIYE' PART 1 By Raising Adedeji Jimoh At the turn of every election in Nigeria, several innovations will begin to evolve for electioneering process in several and distinct or similar roles. The different groups of people will be seeking to get involved for desirable influence to impact the eventual outcome of the results.

This, according to its philosophy, is to firstly, make a difference from the past history of use-and-dump syndrome as a way of the politicians and as common to their collaborative campaign support groups.

You are merely in prospect to deceive either of two people: yourself or God! But ultimately then, who are you deceiving if common sense says you can't deceive God. Faeces of an individual has no value according to the law of nature. Thus the reason animals don't look back at it. They simply move on in joy for discarding valueless waste from their system. So, when you reasonably leave a system you have convinced to be of no value to your existentialism, to what cause would you want to look back? To take a decision to exit a...
