THE TRUTH & THE PEACE OF THE GRAVE YARD.
Nigeria is a country of over 150 million people and the ruling class constitutes an infinitesimal number. How can a multitude be made so submissive by so few as to accept silence as the answer to our problems. Silence is a lie when a situation is as dire as we are currently experiencing in our nation Nigeria. The Presidency has been intimidated by the actions and comments of the Governors Forum, the PDP national executives, the recent action of the Brigade of Guard and the utterances of the Speaker of the House of Rep. Demeji Bankole about coup plot.

PRAYERS, SPIRITUALITY, RELIGION AND SCIENCE
In the last few weeks there have been many articles posted on this forum to prove that prayers, religion and spirituality are of no effect. That science is all, that is the beginning and the end. That is obviously a view from one sector. We agree that there are many perspectives to view from. It may be possible to show in the course of this discuss that there is a strong relationship between prayers, religion, spirituality and science.

ALLEGIANCE SHOULD BE TO THE NIGERIAN NATION AND NOT TO SELF OR POLITICAL PARTY
I have been moved to write this article due to the threat of the supporters of Chief Olabode George to decamp from the PDP after the pronouncement of his guilty judgement at the High Court of Lagos State, Criminal Division of Ikeja Judicial Division Lagos on the 26th October 2009.

GENERAL OLUSEGUN OBASANJO DESERVES RESPECT FROM NIGERIANS
There are always two sides to a coin. There are those who believe Obasanjo has done a lot for our nation and God seems to have used him to keep Nigeria together at two critical points in the nation's history.

Therefore to remove this PDP government in Edo State is a task that all Edo State political parties must achieve by working together as one as working separately, that desired goal will be elusive.
