The statement read thus: “For myself and on behalf of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) caucus, House of Representatives, I bring our warm greetings, wishes and felicitations of the season to our Bosses, Nigerians.

“No doubt, the 2021 new year celebration is devoid of the usual pomp and glamour- no thanks to the numerous challenges that we have had to, and are still facing as a people.

“As we are all aware, new year celebration is observed globally to mark the beginning of every new year, offering us amongst other things, new belief, new hopes, new goals, new objectives and new aspirations.

“However, the 2021 New year celebrations appear less unique particularly because the outgone the year 2020 came with lots of challenges, especially when the entire world had to battle with the dreaded Corona Virus (Covid-19) pandemic which led to the death of millions of friends and loved ones across the globe, including in Nigeria.

“Our situation in Nigeria was further worsened by a poor and dwindling economy (now in the worst recession ever); several incidents of kidnappings, killings and general insecurity across the county occasioned by an inept, visionless, clueless and failed leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government.

“Nonetheless, as we mark the 2021 New year celebrations, we urge all Nigerians, as a people and as good citizens, that beyond the merriment and ecstasy that comes with it, we must remain resilient and patriotic and reflect deeply on the principles of humility, self-sacrifice, good neighbourliness, including love for one another and for our dear country, Nigeria.

“To our leaders and those in the position of authority, we urge us to be more dedicated, open-minded, and selfless in our dealings and/or relationship with, and service to our Bosses, the Nigerian people, as that is the true basis of servant- leadership or good leadership.

“As we celebrate, let us remember to stay safe, especially in the wake of a resurgence in the number of Covid-19 cases by doing our best to observe basic health tips such as social distancing, warring of face/nose masks, self-isolation, regular hand washing use of alcohol-based hand sanitisers as well as complying with all rules and regulations issued by Government at various levels and her regulatory agencies.

“We are very confident that God is on our side and that Nigerian people shall triumph in the end.

“Congratulations, once again and wishing us all a happy and prosperous New year (2021).”

How to Seduce Straight Guys   A map of Nigeria By Dr Omaghomi Ofioritse   Global competition for the earth’s scarce resources gets increasingly frenetic,with each passing day. This continuous struggle between available resources and yearning global needs, has resulted in a new approach to governance, that better guarantees continuous prosperity. We shall call this style of governance, executive capitalism, which is partly a win win symbiotic arrangement, where private capitalist companies are in close relationship with the Chief Executives / governments of their respective countries. The companies get unlimited government money, intelligence, and patronage; resulting in bigger, more profitable companies that are better able to employ more of the country’s nationals. The companies are also better able to pay proportionately larger taxes to the government. The resultant more buoyant governments are in turn more equipped to assist new sets of private companies, the ...

The book (his twelfth) “Why We Must Restructure Now,” is arguably the most authoritative piece of literature on the subject matter till date. Away from the mere verbal tribute to restructuring, General Momah in the book he sub-titled “Nigerian Green Book,” dealt extensively with the mileage of the subject and allayed fears of those who see it as synonymous with resource control. Momah died in Abuja on Wednesday afternoon after long battle with diabetes. Here are some of the things he said at historic event.   “ Restructuring is not resource control. It is instead a globally agreed win-win strategy of replacing fossil energy with renewable energy in order to c...
