Life Changing!

Unlike what most farmers cherish because of its good work on the soil and subsequent large production of crops,rainy season is dreaded by motorists because of the bad shape it gives our roads and the direct effect of the bad roads on their vehicles,due to poor maintainance or inexpert construction of these roads.Unfortunately,rain,an inexorable natural phenomenon and gift from God seems to be causing more harm than good to motorists,motorcyclists,passengers and pedestrians alike.It has suddenly turned to nightmare.Our roads are in dire need of serious attention in terms of repair and maintainance so as to ameliorate the worsening conditions of the users.

Almost everyone is attesting to the fact that a radical man has finally come to be the INEC chairman.Most newspapers,if not all,published the arrival of a radical in INEC.Suprisingly,even the president seemed to be unaware of the calibre of person he appointed to occupy the much unstable position. It would be recalled that,before announcing Jega's appointment after a meeting of the National Council of State,Jonathan had said his choice of Iwu's successor was an unfamiliar person.The president also restated his commitment to ensure that the 2011 general election is conducted in a credible manner.The Edo State Governor,Adams Oshiomole announced the choice of Jega after president Goodluck Jonathan got the nod of the National Council of the state at its meeting at the council chamber of the presidential villa,Abuja. Jega,a professor of political science,an activist and former president of Academic Staff Union Of Universities(ASUU)is regarded as a very principled person who relentle...
