Nigerian entertainers are known to complain about the government and some of them have decided to be politicians to enable them do something about the country’s problems.

Popular musician, Banky W, is one of the few celebrities that have decided to join politics. He recently declared his intention to serve as a federal legislator, representing Eti-Osa local government area of Lagos state in the coming 2019 election.

In a bid to publicise his cause, he printed banners which were posted all over the state. However, the singer was left disappointed after he discovered that some of his banners have been defaced by hoodlums.

He took to his Instagram page to lament. The politician wrote: “It cost my team and I sooo much in money, time, and effort to put our posters up in the community. So you can imagine how demoralizing it feels to wake up today and find out that supporters of my opponents went around overnight, tearing my face out of some of them.

Just plain sad. Are y'all that scared or angry about what we represent, that you must descend to this level?

It is well. God dey. We keep pushing. At least they can't tear the poster from everyone who has helped put it up online (God bless you). And hey, at least they left the party name and logo.. that's kuku what I need people to remember.

The Modern Democratic party is not just a political party platform. MDP is a movement. No matter how they try to stop or silence us, the movement continues. We can do this if we do it together.

#StrongerTogether #MDP #Hope19 #etiosa #Houseofrepresentatives”

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
