THE NEED FOR A REVOLUTION

Flash back to some 20 years ago, i could see myself rising from the bed with a lovely smile on my face, mum in the kitchen preparing breakfast, dad already dressed up ready for the day work. Life was so much easier even though people were still complaining of how corrupt the government was, but life was still far much easier and peaceful. Having twenty naira for the day's pocket money in school was like having a big cash on you. Here we are, 20yrs after in the same country, state and street where 20naira could buy you a hand full of biscuits and sweets, same 20naira today can only get u 2 sachets of pure water or 2 little frustrating biscuits.

2015, we the people asked and voted for a change, a better government, that which have the interest of the people at heart, but what did we get instead? Pain, hunger, suffering, students dropping out of school, unemployment, inflation, devalued currency, missing president, paddling, same sorrowful and hopeless news daily, all hidden under the so called Recession.

Every single food commodities now goes for over 110% increase in price. parents can hardly feed their children, our ladies are turning into prostitutes, our little ones are roaming the streets begging arms to survive daily and all the government keeps saying is it will soon be over. The same old story we have been listening to for the past 25yrs.

We asked and Voted For a CHANGE, But Now We Say We NEED A REVOLUTION.

Help Stop An Execution

Nearly two years ago, the eyes of the world were on Oklahoma, where a man named Richard Glossip was facing execution for a 1997 murder many people say he was not involved in. I learned about Richard’s case when actress Susan Sarandon contacted me, expressing deep concern that the State of Oklahoma was just about to kill an innocent man. After reviewing the facts, I too became convinced of Richard’s innocence, and we decided to make a public plea for the governor to gra nt freedom On 30 September 2015, Richard came within minutes of execution by lethal injection, when officials suddenly stopped the proceedings. As it turned out, the state of Oklahoma had procured the wrong execution drug, risking another botched execution that would lead to a slow and painful death. At the last minute, Governor Mary Fallin, not exactly an opponent of the death penalty, issued a stay of Richard’s execution. Today, Richard’s situation is nowhere near being resolved. As the st...
