Corruption 1The Sierra Leonean Government has commenced a crackdown on corrupt public officials with the arrest and detention of top officials of the  Sierra Leone Football Association(SFA).
According to the Head of the Anti Corruption Commission(ACC), Adly Macualy the commission had on several occasions invited the President, Isa Johansen, Vice president, and Secretary-General of the SFA, but the officials refused to honor the invitation.
Their arrest and detention are coming on the heels of the launch of the ''Operation ThunderBolt'' by the commission.
The Commission has since handed over the officials to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the country's Police in Freetown.

Conq

The Obsession to Conquer

Conq 1The Norman conquest of England in 1066-1154 was characterized by the migration of whole peoples who displaced the earlier inhabitants of the land by expulsion or extermination.
However, Duke Williams'victory at the Hastings brought about the imposition of a few alien governing classes on the Anglo-Saxon population.
In addition, the Conqueror played the role of the lawful successor of Edward the Confessor, even though he was not.

Conq 2Interestingly, the Norman Kings who had very few followers, residing among the conquered population went the extra mile to protect them.
This was why William the Conqueror introduced a legal system of communal responsibility for the crime to favor the Norman.
Happenings in Nigeria today, have semblance with the Norman period.
Illiteracy, ignorance, hunger, poverty, and insecurity have over time emerged as tools of governance by successive leadership in Nigeria, since independence.
Indeed, the behavior, choice of words, mode of dressing, hairdo of an unspecified number of Nigerians are very good reference points of the quality of leadership at all levels s of government in the country. Of worry, is the glaring erosion of norms and values.
The insinuation is that a sizable number of citizens have been conquered by their leaders consciously or unconsciously.
This has opened the way for mediocrity, injustice, nepotism, mutual suspicion, and inequality.
Sadly, the obsession to conquer by a few has adversely and negatively affected the social, political, and economic development of the country to the detriment of the majority.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 

 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Impunity

Impunity by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

Prof 3Impunity is a privilege usually offered by persons in authority to exempt the people from punishment or to give people from freedom the injurious consequences of an action.
Impunity could be abused by both parties when due process is not involved or when dispensed through sharp practices of threats or seizing the advantage of the weakness of the situation.
Under this condition, impunity is blatant. It is blatant in the sense that it revolves around bad behavior, done openly without care or shame. 

Impunity 1
To be able to appreciate the privilege of impunity and without abuse.
We may venture into the synonyms or the words that connote the same meaning.

Immunity, for instance, encourages impunity. Blatant impunity results when rights are trampled upon and privileges are abuses without remorse.
The antonyms of impunity corroborate the fact that freedom without affluence is far better than influence and affluence without freedom.
Those in positions of responsibility should not abuse their offices to the detriment of the people.
In the same vein, workers in all spheres should not deplete the resources of their places of work.
There is a need for all to imbibe the correct virtues of transparency, trust, and exemplary lifestyles, which be a veritable blockade for impunity.

Sincerity

Sincerity by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

Prof 2Sincerity is intensive in every human making us be enigmatic to others, who have every right to doubt our intentions until we prove not to be harmful to the situation and the society at large.
This is why in religious parlance, we do submit that we may err as human when we mistake intentions for actions because intentions are usually hidden, even when actions are the outbursts of real intentions.
There is a need to use the worth of one's sincerity in the relations ship we keep, starting from dating between two lovers, sincerity of purpose is better measured by the test of the time when it finally meets up with the desired goal by building up to the marriage level. Even though this may not be perfect as a tool of assessment, until the conditions for better or worse are maintained and sustained in the marriage, otherwise, the hidden intention of gold-digging, when uncovered may lead to the collapse of the love ridden voyage.
The sincerity of purpose is, therefore, a vital element that must be substantially present in the way we manage the integrity of our cultural setting, ethical values for our educational management, and moral discipline for our religious sector, as process line feeders to our political activities for the purpose of getting it right, when we assure positions of leadership and governance.Transfer Money with Wise
It is interesting to note that most of the gory killings through the instrument of hired assassins are borne out of truncating the sincerity of process line between two or more parties, who may resort to taking laws into their hands to seek costly vengeance over a perceived grievous height of disappointment by taking lives to settle the score.
At the educational management level, insincerity in the facility purchasing process usually leads to the dearth of experts in the needed areas and a lack of facility update to run the courses, despite the huge amount that might have been disbursed by the government, when dubious hands manage a system, economic sabotage in the name of corruption always truncates the expected due process required in purchasing materials.
Insincerity has a far-reaching effect of holding back a self, team, society, or nation, if not timely checked and curbed.

Sincerity 1


At the homefront,  between the husband and wife/wives, the children rearing process would ever suffer from producing future leaders who can deliver a nation from the challenges it may face.
At the political front, insincerity could lead to a game of deceit as it relates to leadership and followership, globally. The symptoms of this may become visible starting from the composition of people who may constitute the formation if they are people of unlike minds.
as they will flout the competitive law of addition and subtraction to make policy formation uniformity difficult to be established except through the game of deceit or insincerity, but as a threat to the future stability of such political parties.
Insincerity! Insincerity!  The fabric of the existence of a nation is always threatened through the culture of insincerity if the experiences of many components have folded up due to the workers' collaboration in bad practices against the will of the government or goodwill code of the Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director.
Generally, therefore, sincerity as freedom from hypocrisy and deceit must be seriously managed through organizational and professional ethics as well as the corporate governance code for the people's loyalty to the cause of the authority to be maintained and sustained as may be found to be possible in all developed nations that enjoy peace, justice and need fulfillment.

The World Bank report that 7 million Nigerians are now under the poverty line has only confirmed that there is massive poverty in Nigeria.
This assertion was made by an Ex-Officio of the Oyo State Council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), who is also a former Chairman of the union in the state, Comrade Andrew Emelieze in a chat with Poverty Line.
''The World Bank report that indicates that 7 million Nigerians have fallen below the poverty line in the last 2 years confirms the reality on the ground that there is poverty on a massive scale in Nigeria. The prices and goods and services have gone beyond the reach of poor Nigerians. The insecurity in the land has prompted several farmers to abandon their farmlands, the resultant effect is the high cost of foodstuff all over the country.

 

Empower 2

Empowerment : The Bigger Role of State Actors.

EmpowerThe Public and Private Partnership trend adopted by state actors at both the State and Federal levels have sadly attracted investment in non-productive sectors: dubious estate developers, land grabbers, betting companies, hotels, petrol stations, and religious groupings with government-friendly posture and the productive sector: plastic soft drinks, sachet alcoholic stimulants, and enhancers.
The policy is yet to attract internal and external investment to the productive sector,-the creation of employment and influencing economic activities upwardly.Transfer Money with Wise
In a number of states the private sector, embarrassingly weak, while in others it is dominated by the controllers of the exploitative tendencies.
Most of these states have already achieved the status of dumping ground for HIV/AIDS drugs including the ones that have been outlawed by the World Health Organization. The number of casualties remains unreported. 

Empower 1
Indeed, prostitution, sodomy, and homosexuality among other sexual perversions are now industries in major cities. Pickpocketing is also an industry.
PPP is now synonymous with the total abandonment of the economic welfare of the people as a legitimate function of state actors.
Petty traders who have opened shops in available spaces including residential areas have assumed the status of investors.
Indeed, politics to the people is group action, but when an individual starts to play a bigger role in a political party, then all is not well.
Interestingly, the empowerment of friends of state actors, cronies, proxies, and well-wishers, has dashed the hopes of the people to get a fair opportunity to participate in various empowerment schemes.

Evil People are on the Prowl

PastorNigerians have been advised to be vigilant and wary of the scheming of evil people who are in every part of the country.
This advice was given by a Christian cleric, Pastor Opeyemi Ajayi in a chat with Federationews2day.
''Evil people are everywhere in Nigeria scheming and hatching wicked plans. Nigerians should be vigilant. God expects them to change, but if they do not change they shall end up in hell. Evil people look for the downfall of the righteous. Evil people are pretenders, you can never know the evil in their hearts be wary of them, Pastor Ajayi stated.Evil 1Transfer Money with Wise
