How can you inflict economic pains to those you intend to liberate. You tried violence in the past and it failed. Go learn about non violent method from Mahatma Ghadi, Martin Luther ( JR) which worked very well for them.

The main thrust of the argument of Fashola is that we are demanding too much from Mr President. Let me quote the relevant portion of the interview: “Those of you who manage public communication must bring back home where the real issues are.

We are conflicting his duties with his powers… He has powers to confirm, to appoint... that but he is not that powerful. Somebody who can’t pass his budget of his own….

ATTENTION: PHASE TWO OF THE 100 YEARS CELEBRATION. The Phase two of the centenary celebration of the iconic school, (for the benefit of the elder alumni), the former Elementary School,  the Middle School, the Provincial Secondary School, PSS Yola, then the Government Secondary School, GSS Yola and now General Murtala Muhammad College, GMMC Yola, which will be the crowning series of activities to mark the 100 years of the great school, is scheduled to be held in the last week of December, 2021.
