SO UNFORTUNATE: WORLD BANK JOINS PRESIDENT BUHARI'S NEPOTISM IN NIGERIA

Finance Minister Danyliuk: World Bank president to visit Ukraine next month
It is most unfortunate that International Organizations could pander to a President’s nepotistic suggestions as was done by the President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim, who said on Thursday [October 12 2017] that the bank had concentrated on the northern region of Nigeria in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s request.
Kim said, “You know, in my very first meeting with President Buhari he said specifically that he would like us to shift our focus to the northern region of Nigeria and we’ve done that…”
Given that:
1) this is incontrovertible proof of unabashed ethno-regional bias of the President of Nigeria who himself comes from Northern Nigeria and subscribes to the ideology of “Northern Nigeria first” (and only), as it pertains to Nigerian affairs;
2) Nigeria’s tangible financial resources depends solely on Oil which comes entirely from Southern Nigeria;
3) Southern Nigeria alone (specifically, the South-south and Southeast bears all the brunt of irreversible environmental damage from Oil operations;
4) Nigeria’s national burden of foreign debt repayment falls disproportionately on Southern Nigeria;
5) the President of the World Bank, Kim, and the Managing Director of International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, acquiesced willingly to what they should have recognized as at least unethical, self-serving, nepotistic and unconscionably divisive directive—and carried it out as such.
The pattern emerges:
1. The only reason Nigeria exists is to protect and develop Northern Nigeria at all costs, at the full expense of Southern Nigeria (just like the British colonialists designed it originally);
2. World bodies and nations collude with Nigeria or watch in silence.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
