CORRUPT POLITICIANS DESERVE NO LESS THAN THE FIRING SQUAD : TOGETHER WITH THEIR ACCOMPLICES IN FAMILY AND GOVERNMENT

Are We Building a Nation or Burying It ?

Until corruption is punished like treason, 


Nigeria will remain a playground for looters and a graveyard for the poor masses.

"Those who make peaceful change impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." -John F. Kennedy


Corruption is National Treason


Corruption remains the most devastating affliction consuming the soul of Nigeria. It is the virus that has robbed Nigerians of good governance, quality healthcare, sound education, national security, infrastructure, and ultimately, human dignity.


If President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Assembly, and all 36 Governors truly desire a rebirth of Nigeria, the first step is clear: legislate grand corruption as a capital offence.


Lessons from Other Nations


China executes high-level corrupt officials.


Vietnam and North Korea follow similar paths.


Singapore doesn’t hesitate to destroy the roots of corruption through unrelenting legal force.


Yet Nigeria still tiptoes around thieves in agbada. Trials drag for decades. Convictions are rare. Plea bargains mock justice. Looters retire rich while citizens drown in poverty, disease, and despair.


Enough Cosmetic Reforms


It is time for decisive, revolutionary legislation.

An Executive Bill that criminalizes corruption involving public resources in health, education, infrastructure, or security with capital punishment will send the strongest signal yet.


"Stealing from the people is stealing their future. Tolerating corruption is betraying the unborn." -Chief Olawale Ojoge-Daniel


"A nation that pampers corruption mortgages its destiny. Nigeria must choose: Justice or Decay." — Chief Olawale Ojoge-Daniel


Deterrence Through Justice


The fear of death is a powerful deterrent.

Public office holders must understand that looting from the people is not politics-it is mass murder in disguise.


If President Tinubu and the National Assembly fail to act, they will confirm the public fear: that this government, like many before it, is not ready to fight corruption.


The Moral Test for Leaders


Governors must also enact similar laws in their states. Those who oppose this moral imperative are not politicians—they are polithiefians, thieves masquerading as patriots.


History Beckons. Posterity Watches.


This is no time for silence.

This is no time for cowardice.

This is the moment Nigeria must decide: leadership or looting, nationhood or betrayal.

Crisis in Ikosi-Isheri: APC Youth Leader Seriki Muritala Accused of Bias as Aspirants Cry Foul*

Image
 * Ikosi-Isheri, Lagos — The political atmosphere in Ikosi-Isheri LCDA is on edge as fresh allegations surface against the Lagos State APC Youth Leader, Seriki Muritala, who has been accused of attempting to manipulate the forthcoming APC primaries to favor a widely unpopular incumbent. According to multiple credible sources within the party, Seriki Muritala has publicly endorsed the candidacy of the sitting chairman, a move that stakeholders say violates the APC Constitution and undermines the integrity of the democratic process. His actions have triggered outrage, especially as reports emerge that several aspirants’ nomination forms have mysteriously gone missing from the APC secretariat — a suspicious development that is being seen as a targeted effort to sideline credible contenders. “It’s shameful. You cannot tamper with the process and call it democracy,” said one aggrieved aspirant. “The people of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA deserve better.”  *A Tenure the People Want to Forget*...

  The Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa, has unequivocally admonished motorists to desist from making illicit payments to touts  for illegal parking on bridges and other open spaces across Lagos State. This directive comes in response to reports indicating that private vehicle owners have been engaging in transactions with street urchins for unauthorized parking privileges at various locations within the metropolis. Hon. Giwa underscored the imperative of strict adherence to government-installed road signage and urban furniture, which explicitly delineate designated “No Parking” zones. He emphasized that noncompliance contributes significantly to congestion and impedes the seamless flow of traffic.

--- The people of the Oki community in Alimosho Local Government have publicly rejected the candidature of Hon. Abiodun Ejigbadero as the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer for Agbado Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area (LCDA). This rejection was expressed through a peaceful protest staged at Iyana Ipaja, where community members voiced their concerns and dissatisfaction. The protesters made it clear that they do not wish to be represented by someone they described as a “land grabber.” Speaking to journalists, the Akinrogun of Oki Kingdom, Chief Olatunde Durosimi, explained that the protest was driven by ongoing issues within the community, specifically involving Mr. Ejigbadero. According to Chief Durosimi, the community has been embroiled in a land dispute with Mr. Ejigbadero, a matter that is currently being contested in court. “We are opposed to his candidature because of his conduct within the community.
