"I just Found out my Dad is Gay"-- Boy Cries out..

Good evening Jtownonline Media..
Good evening blog readers my name is Clem and I am writing from Kaduna State.
I have an issue  that I have been battling with since the day I found out.
When it comes to Issues of homosexuality, I am always at the forefront of criticizing and condemning lesbians and most especially gays. I once spoke at an event against homosexuality in my school. This is to tell you how much I detest Lesbianism and gay-ism. This practice is alien to us as Africans and especially as a Nigerians. It also goes against Gods plan for the human race.

This administration has a clear Northern agenda

Op–ed pieces and contributions are the opinions of the writers only and do not represent the opinions of Jtownonline

 A new pipeline is in the offing, from Port Harcourt to Kano. Then three new power plants. One in Kano, one in Kaduna, one in Abuja. This comes as more resources are being devoted to the search for oil in the North-East, then there’s that 3% of VAT thing, that somehow Kano got itself involved in, despite a) not being in the North-East, and b) not exactly being victims of Boko Haram’s festivities.

There’s no hiding it. This administration has a clear agenda, and the North is front and centre of that agenda. Many of my southern compatriots have complained, bitterly in some cases, about how we are constantly “shafted” by the North. I think different. To be honest, I can’t help but envy the almost laser sharp focus of the northern elite in cornering the resources of this ‘ere country for their purpose. Whether those resources are used properly is another matter. What matters here is the lessons to be learned.

First, it is true that the northern elite is ahead, only just, of the various factions in the South as the most hedonistic and self-obsessed group of people in this country, and those guys have managed to abuse noble concepts like Zakat for their own selfish purposes. But I’m a firm believer in the theory of enlightened self-interest, and as the resources available to share dwindle, and the population, especially in the North, grows, I believe that a leader will eventually emerge in the North, who will go beyond
