*DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND AYADE??* FBI


Governor Ayade is a very complex and self contradictory governor. I don't understand him.

I have always maintained that he is an intelligent man. I love his ideas. Who wouldn't love ideas like the Garment Factory, Superhighway, Deep Seaport, etc. Apart from this beautiful ideas, he also mouth a lot about his empathy and ethics. 

Now, comes the confusion and self contradictions:

1. The Governor claims he is industrialising Cross River State by building factories and industries but he does not have a single program to channel the vibrant youthful energy in Cross River State into these industries. Rather, the Governor is channeling this vibrant youthful energy into politics. He has over 7000 appointees, mostly young people.

The conversation on the streets of Cross River State among young people is how to get a political appointment not how to man the industries the Governor claims he is building across the state. Young Cross Riverians have perfected the skills of hunting for appointments but no one is talking about business plans and business models. What a contradiction.

Young Cross Riverians are political entrepreneurs. Even their use of and engagement on social media is tailored to curry political appointments. I thought a governor who is building industries is supposed to rev up our industrial consciousness rather than political appointment consciousness. I don't understand. Or is the Governor lying about being an industrialist?

2. The Governor tells anyone who cares to listen about his "humanity" and empathy. I mean, he even finds the time out of his busy schedule to cry on TV to buttress his humanity; but the same Governor will not not pay pensioners, he will not promote workers and he will not pay road sweepers, old poor women, N5000 monthly salary. I don't understand. 

3. Ok. I know the usual defence of there is no money. The state is poor. Why not prove this by cutting down your political appointments. Why pay thousands of jobless appointees when you can't pay real workers and pensioners? I don't understand.

Does anyone understand? Please help me?

2023: Catholics Berate Lalong Over Attempt To Drag Pope Into Politics

August 11, 2022  Concerned Catholics in Nigeria have called for the suspension of Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong for dragging the name of Pope into local politics that has nothing to do with the Church. According to the group, Lalong should be punished for bringing the name of Pope and the Catholic Church to disrepute while giving his reasons for accepting to serve as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Speaking as a press conference in Abuja addressed by National Convener/President, Dr Ben Amodu, said the concerned Catholics in Nigeria are alarmed that Lalong would elect to throw caution into the wind by dragging the revered Catholic Church into local politics in Nigeria for whatever it is worth. “The reference to the Pope in his statement for accepting to serve as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council was made in poor taste and a puerile attempt to drag the Catholic Church into a matter that has no bearing with the
