Against All Odds

Sean Dyche: Everton will play in the top flight of English football for a 71st consecutive season next August despite overcoming historical circumstances, with two separate points deductions and subsequent appeal processes. Manager Sean Dyche should rightly receive plaudits for keeping a relative calm at the club while many were losing their heads all around him, he has had challenges which no other Everton manager, at least in modern times, have had to endure. Everton confirmed their place in next season’s Premier League with a victory over Brentford at the previous weekend. His straight-talking, balanced and equable approach has been both a source of comfort and place of sanctuary for many. Of course, he has suffered some troubling periods, a run of 15 games without a win concerned the fans and understandable criticism came his way. But even then, he stuck to his principles!

Ironic Attempt To Corruption Suffocation

When you open yourself to disobedience to morality, you give yourself for the instructional measure's advantages; a wile of efforts to access the advantages without positive obedience always amounts to being far away from the advantages' betterment perhaps ghastly. Henceforward, any third party with any surreptitious efforts to reinforce the recurrent folly opens the party to glaring loss! Ironically, Tinubu has boosted the national earnings, no doubt - after he failed apparently to appoint the previously tendentious politician named El-Rufai as a minister - via the treacherous move to remove the subsidy. Due process is observed here to discern the ironic earnings made into the national coffers are not shared amidst some unnationalist goons clandestinely who just lost two amid them in the week: one in Ondo assassinated and other in Abia diabolically! The ironic earnings ought to be taken seriously by all Nigerians who possess the earnings - because of the harsh economy experiences they are all passing through now. According to Solzhenitsyn: 'Economy at the expense of our bellies.' That kind of 30-day work for 1-week spending. Tinubu should realize whence that not the greed generates fortune nevertheless faith and patriotism - for according to William Shakespeare: ' O fortune, fortune, all men call the fickle; if thou art fickle what dost thou with him that is renowned for faith?' Therefore he is at exigence of the two, faith and patriotism to acquire unerring esteem rather than the Inauguration collective disguised exclamations of this foiled end which were nothing than 'a funeral duty attended with embarrassing sadness' according to George Eliot, qua the monthly strictures, perhaps unceasingly! Thence, his presidential untruth is so unsustained by this virile stricture thawing his every lie and collaboration; in a relative reference to the quackish collaboration: geniuses do not adjust their interpretations to suit the taste of tyrants! Consequently, Nigeria needs its political culture - the transparent infrastructure-prone political system not negating socio-economic welfare though the immediate past dispensation could not only engineer the latter. Nigerians ought to embrace patience inasmuch as we can today collectively say no to the Tinubu's corruptionomics - tomorrow we all live without the el-rufaisms and the oyo-Itaisms: the three negativities are all in one desuetude in Nigeria. In summary, Nigerians are to realize that the ironic saving, via the earnings mentioned above of the subsidy removal, can now and soon be utilized for their unevasive liberty: Affordable education, consumer price reductions, bill price reductions, infrastructural development, and pragmatically, fuel price reductions.

Lagos Can Learn From Enugu

Gov Mbah Flags Off Another Round Of Palliatives Distribution: Governor of Enugu State Peter Mbah, on Thursday, flagged off another round of the distribution of palliatives in the state, warning against the politicisation of the exercise to ensure it gets to the independent and vulnerable people across the state. Mbah, however, said that the palliatives were a quick fix and efforts of the Federal Government and the state to cushion the effects of the economic hardship in the land while the positive results of the state’s economic policies and programmes crystalise. Performing the official flag-off after inspecting the foodstuffs, which were largely grains, the governor assured that the palliatives would be distributed from time. “We have done this before. So, it is an ongoing thing, as we will continue to intervene because we understand the economic challenges and hardship that our people face currently,” he said. “However, what we are witnessing here today is our short-term measure, what we refer to as a quick fix towards our promise to eradicate poverty and ensure zero hunger in our state. We have robust programmes in place, which will ultimately ensure that we eradicate poverty and kiss it goodbye in Enugu State. “We have instituted several programmes in place to eradicate poverty. Our community and social development programmes, our state’s small and medium enterprise programme, and our women programmes, among others, were designed to ensure that we empower our people economically. As the Chinese people would say, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish every day. “So, our plan is ultimately for our people to be able to generate wealth, generate employment, and create wealth for themselves.The ultimate thing is for our people to be able to create wealth, whether in the agricultural sector, the business sector, or those that are providing services. We are poised to upskill them. And very soon, you will see and also feel the impact of these programmes.
