Fuel Subsidy: Can you deregulate and at the same time regulate?

"NIGERIA IS A NATION YOU MUST NEVER DISCUSS OR BOTHER ABOUT ."

How I wish my dad has told me the above truth instead of telling me about his love for Nigeria.

How I wish the parents of Gani Fawehinmi, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Dele Giwa, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Olisa Agbakoba and Fela Anikulapo have also told them the above truth.

You don't bother about a nation where the oppressed vehemently defend their oppressors always.

You don't bother about a nation where Suffering and Smiling,, Lack of History, Pretence, Double-Standard and Propaganda have been entrenched forever.

Soyinka @80: What Bishop Kukah Tells Him

        Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese,
Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah
Kukah, who argued Soyinka’s place is already assured among those in the pantheon of the great men and women of letters said, “One last word: Prof, had you listened to your mother, life would have been easier for you. Remember she warned you: ‘Wole, Itirayi ni gbobo nkan.’ Perhaps it is just as well that you did not believe in merely trying for them, you would not have had a Nobel Prize. For a failed trader, failed farmer, a soldier on AWOL, you did well by choosing Literature and Art.

Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah on Friday preached to Prof. Wole Soyinka to “return to the Lord,” as he walks toward the sunset.

Speaking in Abeokuta, Ogun State, during the 17th Wole Soyinka Annual Lecture Series, to coincide with the 80th birthday celebration of the Nobel Laureate, it was an event organized by the National Association of Seadogs.
