A Savant's Muse on Religion And Power

by The Advocacy Project Nigeria has been plagued by a sort of an abandonment - national carelessness which far exceeds that of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway - a form of national paralysis, triggered by the un-seriousness of a quasi government plagued with corruptionists of leadership gangs. Gangs? Yes. Gangs! Here I mean a set of tricky, sorry for that charitable phrase, rather slimy politicians who turned national wealth into personal wealth and put the people in monumental dearth and the nation in international debt. This is Provable by the resultant moral and social decay in the country - a litmus test signifying a distortion in the nation's moral spinal nerves. This has led the entire nation into a belated pandemonium which renders the children, adults, aged and perhaps the dead into a situation best described as 'bo' lo o'ya mi' For those of African descent or perhaps those scholars versed in African proverbs, you will recall that an old african proverb says, &#

These will typically be passwords for computers, reconciliations of various numerical processes and supervision of financial and other business activities.

Top talents are always in demand, and recruiting and retaining such talent takes more than an attractive pay out.
