Some are yet to finish giving each other the traditional happy New Year greetings. Others are yet to come from the villages where they went to celebrate the new year.

Some others are yet to resume duties after the holidays. This goes especially to the self employed cadre.

But then, the ultimate harvester has started working in Nigeria.

There waa this air craft crash where some officers of the Nigerian Air Force were killed. While all the deaths are painful, one could say the death of Flight Lieutenant Pereowei Jacob is extra painful.

The gallant officer got married on December 8, 2018 and died on January 2, 2019.

As if that wasn’t enough, a popular Lagos disc jockey, Seun Omogaji a.k.a. DJ XGee, committed suicide a couple of days ago. To those who knew him he had no business with the undertaker since he was very lively.

According to some sources, it was as a result of depression.

Well, in the case of the plane crash, I thought Mr Buhari promised that he would end the Boko Haram nonsense as soon as he got into power.

Why must our very best be murdered because we have failed to do the right things? The country itself is not safe.

If one is not attacked by herdsmen, they could be kidnapped. They could even encounter robbers.

I believe all these should influence our votes. Unfortunately, the average Nigerian has sold out.

The rulers are using hunger and sectionalism to whip them into line!
