THE ROT OF THE UPPER CLASS By: Abdulkabeer Ibn Tijaniy




According to Abraham Lincoln he defined democracy has the government of the people for the people and by the people. The case of Nigeria democracy is in the reverse order. The nation has been left in the hands of few self-centered leader believing that they are too powerful to be dealt with because they have both financial and political muscles.

They have turned this great country of ours to their family property,driving the country's resources overseas while the masses are left in darkness and they belief they can do anything unquestionable. All this amount to that devil called corruption in Nigeria.

The phenomenon has been in existence in Nigeria since the colonial foundation in the amalgamation that took place in 1914. However,corruption is not only stealing public or private establishment it is the use of position or title to pursue political gains at the expense of the public good in violation of established rules and ethical principles.

Before the inception of this present administration the major campaign promises was war against indiscipline and corruption not aware wholeheartedly that corruption cannot be easily legislated out of existence in Nigeria perhaps because this is due to the fact that corruption is not a primarily legal problem but a challenge that is peculiar to Nigeria political scene.
In addition,this administration has at least paid lip service to the urgency of the needs,to undermine corruption it is for this reason that various anti-corruption laws,policies,strategies and parastatals have been established. Though,I still imagine how this phenomenon tends to be fought completely  when we still have those political mosquitoes in power.

In conclusion,our fate is in our hands as a people we need to work together not as a divided people that we are now. we need to think,plan and act and not speaking in staccato voice.

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

Touching Story

     A cat was so faithful    that the woman    could leave her baby    with it & go out to    attend other matters.    She always returned    to find the child    soundly asleep with    the cat faithfully    watching over him.    One day something    tragic happened. The    woman as usual, left    the baby in the "hands"    of this faithful cat    and went out shopping.    When she returned,    she discovered rather    a nasty scene, there    was a total mess.    The baby's cot was    dismantled; his nappies    and clothes torn to    shreds with blood    stains all over the    bedroom where she    left the child & the cat.    Shocked, the woman    waile...

SEX-ESCAPADE

          Relationship goals to some is dating with fine sex, but some of us dont take our time to check our partners before going into "it".  Sexually transmitted diseases are flying around now and it’s like most of us don’t even pay attention to them. Sad, but had to be said. Tunde started dating Nina. She was beautiful, fair skinned and petite. "Portable babe", he called her whenever he boasts to his friends about her. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. He said she was so free with him, gave him anything he wanted. In his mind, he thought he was using her, but he noticed she kept coming back for more which fuelled his male ego.
