In the 19th century in England, children and adults of both sexes were subjected to despicable factory labor.
Even though there were several factory-reform movements that led the agitations for an end to inhuman practices in the factories; the stubborn, unscrupulous, and grasping attitude of the factory owners, who were in their private lives often kind fathers and husbands, such as John Bright, resisted reforms in their factories and still engaged children of nine years old to work in these factories.
In the same vein in Nigeria today, the exploitation of labor, children inclusive is now very prominent.
Underaged children engaged by those in the Organized POrivate Sector(OPS) and government contractors are commonplace in a number of states, while these contractors minimize costs by going further to engage cheap labor and procure inferior materials.
However, in England, factories, workshops, and mines reforms became a reality after a long and painful struggle against the resistance of interested parties and the passive attitude of others.
Sadly in Nigeria, despite existing legislation on child labor and exploitation of labor, the ugly acts continue unabated due to the overbearing nature of interested parties who are beneficiaries of government patronage and stakeholders in the Organized Private Sector.
Indeed, the absence of those in the mold of John Doherty, Robert Owen, John Fielden, John Wood, G.S Bull, and Anthony Ashely in the Nigerian space today;  has allowed for the continuation of the anti-labor practices. This is obviously in favor of the government and the OPS, since the emphasis is on the benefits and not the losses.
Unfortunately, the will of the Government at all levels to enforce regulations is almost non-existent and on the other hand slow in realizing its responsibilities.
Not surprisingly,  a strange development that is fast becoming the norm in major cities and towns across Nigeria, is the increasing population of prostitutes, minors inclusive, in newly constructed hotels. This is in addition to the emerging generation of young criminals, who report daily to older men and women in these hotels.

Nigerians continue to groan as the strangulating grip of the tax regime at all levels of government tightens.  
The reason for the tax regime by Those-in-Charge is obvious-more revenue-even as Those-in-Charge has decided to take additional loans to finance projects that fall under the category of misplaced priorities.
However, during the Napoleonic wars, one of Those in Government in Britain, Pitt, resorted to an income tax to aid the defraying national expenditure. The burden of the war debt was humongous. £ 74,500,000 revenue was required annually to service the debt and other expenditures.
This was four times the pre-war budget, which resulted in the multiplication of taxes. During this period, government officials made excusable mistakes or were rather frankly ignorant.  Indeed, smuggling and other sharp practices became prominent.
There were taxes on the import of manufactured goods and taxes on the export of raw materials. There were also various revenue taxes on consumption whose range and number had gone beyond the roof tops due to the pressure from the Napoleonic wars.
The article of Sydney Smith  in The Edinburgh Review in 1820, summed up the precarious situation confronting Nigerian presently: ''Taxes upon every article which enters into the mouth or covers the back, or is placed under the foot-taxes upon warmth, light, and locomotion-taxes on earth, and the waters under the earthy-on everything that comes from abroad or grown at home-taxes on the raw material-taxes on every fresh value that is added to it by the industry of man-taxes on the sauce which pampers man's appetite, and the drug that restores him to health.....''

The bad harvest of 1792 in England, the grave discontent among the people, the high rate of unemployment, the prohibitive prices of food items, repression by the government among numerous other factors had adverse effects on its socio-economic and political development.
In Nigeria in 2021, insecurity, hunger, poverty, the high unemployment rate, violent crimes, incompetence, misplaced priorities, mediocrity, the beautification of lies and falsehood, the condemnable activities of state actors and their agents have visible prints in every part of the country for the people to see.

Indeed, the insinuation is that leadership at all levels has derailed.
The ignoble roles played by the likes of John Castle, Oliver, and George Edwards, all provocative agents of the government and spies, have further dented the image of the leadership and also eroded its credibility.
The actions of Pitt in the House of Commons and Grenville in the Lords resulted in the passage into law of the Seditious Meetings Bill and the Treasonable Practices Bill, re-echoed in both chambers of the National Assembly.
Unprovoked attacks by the government, with the aid of armed force upon unarmed people exercising their constitutional rights to meet together to make in a peaceful and dignified manner, rational demands in the name of justice, is already a policy of the government.
Nigeria has its own version of the ''waterloo'' massacre.
Restrictive laws have only succeeded in promoting disaffection and discontent in different parts of the country and the destination now is a departure from all principles of the constitution.
Those-in-Charge in the mold of Pitt, Eldon, Castle, and Sidmouth understand the language of repression best, while the disillusioned and impoverished citizenry watches helplessly.
However, the consolation for the people lies in the fact that the time is too short for the functionality of the various distractions lined up by the leadership to cover up its failures.

The overbearing influence of dysfunctional agents of socialization including defective parental upbringing have all combined to make the youth tobe threats to Nigeria’s future.

This assertion was made on Friday by the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shfaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke in his message to the nation on the occasion of the 61st independence anniversary of Nigeria.

‘’Today’s youth suffers from immature parental care and dysfunctional agents of socialization. The youth in Nigeria are at the receiving end of all activities emanating from Religion, Culture, Education, Politics and Society. Unfortunately, when each of these agents are poorly managed the effect on the youth may be a temporary or permanent damage to to their growth and development as a costly prize for the nation’s future.Thuggery,truancy, examination malpractice, hawking, unwanted pregnancy, rape, vandalism, pedophilia and other antisocial behaviors result from these deficiencies.Products of very faulty backgrounds are enmeshed in entertainment,poor reading culture, and mindset to loot the national and state treasuries at any given opportunity. They lack moral candor for leadership with wrong value orientation that is bad for leadership,’’ Prof. Olagoke concluded.

The plea for debt forgiveness by the leadership in Nigeria at the recently concluded 76TH United Nations General Assembly has been described has questionable and laughable.

These views were expressed 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.

‘’How can a country that is yet to settle debts of over 33 Trillion Naira and which is still planning to borrow ask for debt forgiveness ? How has the unsettled loans been spent ? How shall the loans that shall be borrowed be spent ? The present administration has less than two years to stay in office. The request by Nigeria is questionable and laughable.This is tantamount to taking the international creditors for granted’’, Comrade Emelize concluded.

By the 18th century, iron and coal became examples of industries that were capitalist in peculiar ways.
From inception both industries were capitalist inclined,since they required heavy expenditure for the actual process of production.
The labor force comprised of wage earners working for a master and were not owners of the forge, iron ore or coalmine.
Similarly, as early as the 17th century, a sizable number of comparatively small industries emerged namely,soap,brewing, glass and salt-making industries.

However, during this period the interest in agriculture was still very strong,with the handicraft men more prominent than the industrial or commercial capitalist.

In the second half of the 18th century, the growth of the population prompting the increase in the demand for goods, improved transportation system, unprecedented mechanical inventions, new materials and improved chemical processes resulted in the industrial revolution.

Industries such as coal and hardware made use of increased quantities of coal, just as coal was also used as fuel.

After the repeal of the General Export Duty in 1834, coal and iron became foremost in the export market.

Birmingham, Sheffield and Glasgow known for cotton experienced economic growth between 1821 and 1831.

Sadly,in Nigeria today, despite the presence of all the factors that prompted the industrial revolution in Britain and the large deposits of coal,iron ore and several other mineral resources in different parts of the country, Nigeria is still largely import dependent for most of its needs. The poverty rate in Nigeria is now 50 per cent in 2021 as a result of misplaced priorities, mediocrity and incompetence.

Indeed,the colored race are the major investors in biscuits,sweets,detergents and furniture.

Exploitation of labor, austere wages, poor working conditions and other sharp practices, have all contributed to the survival of these investors.

Interestingly,the distribution of soft drinks produced in plastics, questionable alcoholic drinks in sachets among others are now the choice of business inclined Nigerians.

Those-in-Charge are now tinkering with the idea of vigorously promoting activities in the agricultural sector, despite years of neglect and in the middle of unabating killings(for ritual purposes inclusive), kidnappings and other forms of violence in 2021,while Britain ceased to be primarily agricultural in the second half of the 18th century.

The consensus among focused and development inclined leaders,is that the mindset of those that formulated policies to a great extent determines the economic fortunes and prosperity of countries of the world.

The 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.

The 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.

Interestingly, 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.

Persons in authority in Nigeria have hinted that the re-introduction of toll gates is imminent while at the same time facilitating the increase in the fees payable for vehicle plate numbers and the driver's license.
Before now, impoverished Nigerians have been contending with persistent darkness even though at present, electricity bills are strangulating.
Indeed, the high costs of foodstuff in the markets, the upward review of the Value Added Tax(VAT), PremiumMotor Spirit(PMS), and Kerosene are solid proofs that governance is on an unstable footing at all levels.

The ranking of Nigeria as fifth in the list of countries with high debt risk exposure only confirms that political office holders, both elected and appointed, have done almost nothing to reinvigorate the country's health system, eradicate hunger and poverty, create convincing and satisfactory employment, ensure the growth of businesses.
The Debt Management Office(DMO)has stated that Nigeriahasadebt of $11.5 billion to repay the World bank.
However, Nigerians wish to know if the policies, actions, and inactions of persons in authority are in tandem with the country's indebtedness.

Most communities in Oyo state among other states in Nigeria have been overwhelmed by criminals, a significant number of whom are residents.
These criminals take time to observe happenings in these communities from shops, beer parlors, hotels, and abandoned buildings in these communities after which they facilitate heinous and grievous crimes.
In Molusi, Solanke, Oeygbami, Oshodi, Olorunsogo, Barracks, Aluko, Felele, and several other communities in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, electricians, petty traders, barbers, commercial motorcycle operators, and mechanics and beer parlor operators secure accommodation for questionable characters, who no terrorize these communities.

Sadly, the Landlords and Tenants Associations in these communities know these criminals but overlook their criminal activities, perhaps because of the pecuniary benefits accruing to them. Although they ensure they facilitate the collection of night guards dues from residents with all vigor.
The outcome is the several unreported cases of crimes in these communities, while innocent residents continue to ponder over the constitutional roles of law enforcement agencies which seems to be non-existent

Civil and public servants in a sizable number of states in Nigeria have continued to grumble over the non-implementation of the 30,000 Naira new minimum wage.
Indeed, State Governors insist that dwindling allocations and revenues are stumbling blocks that have actively prevented the living wage from becoming a reality in the States.
This is just as a big chunk of the monthly allocations continue to drown in the pool of white elephant projects.
Most labor unions have maintained a worrisome silence on the issue, just as workers argued that self-centered interests have overwhelmed the mindset of an unspecified number of labor leaders. The workers are disappointed.

Some State Governors have now coopted the confused and disillusioned workers into revenue generation methods that are synonymous with crime, criminality, and sudden wealth.
The above mentioned among some other reasons have stimulated agitations by the workers in low tones since their acts of omission and commission are better imagined than exposed.
Sadly, mutual suspicion and distrust are the hallmarks of relationships in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
Furthermore, the questionable lifestyles of workers in the states have become subjects of debate among all and sundry in these times of excruciating economic hardships.
   

As the debate among Nigerians on the geo-political zone the next President of the country should come from in 2023, the Ezendigbo of Ibadan and Oyo state, who is also the Vice President, Ezendigbo in Diaspora(South) and the Chairman, Non-Indigenes Traditional Heads in Oyo State, Eze(Dr.) Anozie opines that the Igbos should be given the opportunity to produce the next President in 2023. Excerpts ;
Why do you think the next President of Nigeria should come from the South East?

In the interest of justice, fairness, the true unity of the country, peace, and tranquility, I suggest, I appeal, and I plead with Nigerians, all political parties in Nigeria to pick their presidential candidate from the South East. It would go a very long way to soothe frayed nerves and douse the tension in the country. I am not saying this because I am from the South East, even if I  am not from the South East, I would still say this. So what I am saying is in the interest of Nigeria, the peace of the country, the unity of the country and I believe that everybody that calls himself or herself a good Christian or Muslim should support the call for the next President to come from the South East and if such happens, all the agitations here and there shall by 50 percent fizzle out. And by so doing, Igbos would like to show their stuff and what they can do. They would like to set a pace in the governance of Nigeria.
And I know that some other people who are showing interests, other Nigerians showing interests from different parts of the country may also be good materials for the position, but we are pleading with them to be considerate and look at the Igbos and all their contributions in the whole country Nigeria and give us the opportunity to lead this country. My mind is telling me, my spirit within, my God is telling me that when such happens Nigeria would begin to breathe a brand new life.

I am one of those who believe that Nigeria is a beautiful country, if justice, fair play, equity, and the security of lives and property of every Nigerian is assured for everybody to have a sense of belonging for good leadership to be put in place. To this extent, everything should be done to ensure justice, equity, and fair play. These are the only things that would make all ethnic groups want to remain in Nigeria, so by the time the South Eats has finished its tenure in governance, power should move up to the North, a part of the North from where a President has never emerged and when they finish with their tenure, power should move down to the South again and that would be the South West and so on and so forth.
And Nigerians will not accept any military coup all this while. Everything should be done to ensure that there is no military coup because Nigerians will say no.

The consensus among Nigerians is that the arms build-up in different parts of the country has its background woven around the aspirations of actors in the socio-political scene in the land.

The arms build-up festers side by side with poverty, hunger, and brigandage, while the land has over time become fertile for trading in illegal arms with evil deeds as the major focus.

Indeed, state actors are familiar with the negative effects of injustice, inequality, nepotism, and favoritism, but are, sadly, handicapped by self-centered interests and incurable greed.

Interestingly, the competition for power and privilege has resulted in the loss of precious lives and the wanton destruction of the properties of innocent and harmless citizens. The debate among Nigerians now is on what constitutes the major functions of state actors.

The illegal influx of arms and ammunition has continued unabated through constitutional and unconstitutional channels with the active connivance of those who ought to be well-informed on security matters.

As violent crimes soar nationwide through the use of sophisticated weapons, Those-in-Charge have adopted the position of spectators to the amazement and chagrin of Nigerians.

The loyalty and commitment of the people are crucial to the success of any political system with a focused leadership.
However, the covert moral and financial support for criminals, would, without doubt, result in unabating insecurity and its attendant consequences on the political system and the economy.
The support is woven around self-centered and pecuniary interests.
The absence of cooperation on matters relating to the elimination of economic stagnation and political marginalization of the people is influenced by insensitive leadership.
This leadership seeks to tinker with the constitution and existing laws, in order to facilitate dictatorial acts of omission and commission in a bid to regulate the people's behavior while at the same time depriving them of a large volume of resources.Transfer Money with Wise

It is very glaring that a number of political blocs and ethnic persuasions have been deprived of participating in the decision-making process of the system, which has resulted in a clear case of oppression and overwhelming structural imbalance in the polity.
The issue now is the moral indignation by the people against obvious constitutional breaches, which has been misconstrued by the state actors to mean that the differences suggest that so much has changed.
The worrisome situation today is a product of the manipulation of the system, deliberate impoverishment of the people, and the negative influence of moneybags, who are now political office holders in this democracy.

The brazen and daring nature of terrorists who have now resorted to the abduction of terrorists has confirmed that state actors are being economical with the truth.
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, Comrade Andrew Emelieze.
''The brazen and daring nature of the terrorists has only confirmed that state actors are not telling Nigerians the whole truth on the present worrisome situation, wherein students are now targets for abduction. State actors should immediately tell Nigerians the truth'', Comrade Emelieze stated.Transfer Money with Wise

Sincerity 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.

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.

The 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. 

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.

Nigeria began to face the challenges of physiological needs since 1973 when the government of the day resorted to importing rice and cassava to make up for the production seeming lapses as it began to affect our Gross Domestic Product and exporting index with regards to agricultural proceed need will essentially spread to all spheres of human need.
Our neglect of the agriculture sector, particularly, forestry, livestock, and farm produce as we diversified with 80 percent focus on oil brought in the era of urbanization, but minus rural integration.
Unfortunately, the urban cities were not well managed and there was a mass drift of the people from the villages to overpopulate the yet-to-be-standard urban cities, thereby causing overcrowding for emerging diseases to surface.
Merit considerations and the dignity of labor no longer exists, rather nepotism is the trend.

In a general term, Maslow's hierarchy of needs becomes difficult to operationalize in rearing children, natural nurturing of adolescents, and self-desire realization for the society to benefit from the ripple effect on our growth and development profile which is presently poor, making Nigeria become a mere talk shop rather than a place where we walk the talk. The foundation of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is physiological needs spreading over food, clothing, and shelter. The country's hides and skin industry has gone into extinction, same goes for the paper industry. Presently, the country imports toothpicks.
The refineries are non-functional, that is why the subsidy challenge persists. The education sector remains underfunded when compared with the benchmark  OF 26 percent specified by UNESCO.
This is trailed by a high rate of unemployment and insecurity. The re is also the issue of obsolete and deteriorated facilities.
Let the government work for the society to imbibe the message of the focus of several opinion leaders.

By May 29, 2021, the number of Those-in-Charge at both the Federal and State levels of Government shall be six years on the saddle, while others shall clock two years in their seats.
Interestingly, it is evident that the ruling class is yet to take positive steps to build a country hinged on equity, justice, and the fear of God.
Indeed, common sights in major cities in Nigeria include students, pupils, and those in the out-of-school category, hawking ''pure water'', kerosene, pepper/tomatoes, soap/detergents, and several other edibles, while the song on the mouths of everyone is titled,'' future leaders''.
The places to impart knowledge-Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary-are now breeding grounds for cultists, armed robbers, rapists, ritualists among others in the school uniforms for those in the Primary and Secondary schools.
The limitless strength of the devalued Naira has ensured that cronies of the government at all levels control the decision-making bodies of most trade unions in a bid to allow their paymasters to have their ways.
Not surprisingly, the singular factor that counts, presently, in the country's political culture is CASH. 
The individuals who are opportune to have it in abundance treat others in the population with total contempt.
Those in-Charge, long before now spend their entire tenures, seeking to control the government and the political party structure, forgetting that the political party is not for a single individual.
However, the trend is for the party executive to run to a single individual whenever money is needed to run the party secretariat.
The implication that the dispensing point has the party in his pocket while the majority of the party members remain aggrieved and now grumble loudly for people to hear.
In Oyo State, Nigerians are not surprised that there are visible perforations of the walls of the St. Annes School fence that separates the Girls' school from the Olorunsogo, Molete community, and unregulated entry into the school through the perforations since Those-in-Charge prefer the reactionary approach to governance.
Similarly, hoodlums in the community have converted an abandoned building on the same street as the Redeemed Christian Church of God(RCCG) Potters House to a launchpad for crime and criminality, in connivance with the residents particularly those who reside in No. 5 and 8 Kehinde Aderibigbe street.
