who is exploiting these Nigerians?
WHO IS
EXPLOITING THESE NIGERIANS?
Sir, I write
this letter with great anguish of the soul. But very unfortunately, I do not
have the literary prowess of Sam Omoseyi of the Nation Newspaper so as to
actually and vividly x-ray how disgusted I am right now of this country. I wish
I got the English language at my finger tip like Wole Soyinka, I would have
painted most gory an imagery of how, only God knows who, has turned fellow
Nigerians into preys and prisoners of fortunes. But however, I would do as I
could to explain what evil is being done to these our hardworking fellow
countrymen, the tricycles operators popularly referred to as Keke Marya’s
operators.
Very recently, I got to know what Keke
Marwa’s operators spend on daily bases to keep their keke on the Lagos road.
Right now, keke sells for about N600, 000. That in the first place is a prize I
cannot rationalize. How possible it is to sell something one cannot proudly
drive to one’s in-laws’ house for that amount? I am suspecting that the hands
of government officials, politicians, or importers are involved in this treachery.
As if that is not enough, to register a new
keke in any of the Lagos’ parks, each operator is made to pay N30, 000. After
collecting the N30, 000 as registration, they also pay between N850 and N1, 200
daily depending on the area. Interestingly, I gathered that Lagos council
ticket bares just N100 or a little more.
Now sir, avail me the privilege to simplify
my point with this simple calculation. Let’s tag keke’s life span of keke at
4years. That means the cost of a keke Marwa for four years in a state like
Lagos would be as follows:
Cost of
purchase---------N600, 000
Registration---------------N30,
000
Daily
ticketing------------N1, 460,000 (100x4year average)
Fuel-------------------N876,
000 (600x4years average)
Maintenance-----------N
0
TOTAL----------------------N2,
966,000.
This simply implies that minus the cost of
maintenance, every keke on the street of Lagos has an average cost per four
years of N2, 966,000. That also means that every keke is supposed to make
consecutively, on daily bases, at least N2, 966,000/1460 days, which is above
N2000 daily to first and foremost recoup the expenses for four years. This is
when the keke is being used by the owner. But where it is being used by someone
else, the operator must make N4000 daily.
Now how much would they make, I mean the keke
operators, if they must remain in business? That means they must make the
average of N6, 000 daily to have a take-home at all. I think this is purely unrighteousness
in its highest degree; it is man inhumanity to man. Let’s somebody halt this
exploitation.

FOR SALE
KETU, ADALOKO COMMUNITIES GROAN UNDER AMBODE'S FAILED ROAD
ADALOKO- KETU ROAD
Few month ago, precisely, 23rd Sep. 2016, Ketu-Adaloko road was commissioned by the Lagos state government as one of its 114 new constructed roads contrary to the expectation of dwellers of Ketu and Adaloko communities. According to them, the road was only done half way, there was no outlet created for the erosion water. Their belief was that once serious rainfall set in, the condition of the road would get worse, and thereby rendering every labour on the road useless.
Very true to their speculations, right now, just two months after commissioning, the road is completely impassable by both pedestrians, motorists and the keke users.
According one of the pedestrians who complained to this reporter, ''before now we used to trek this road from Ketu to Adaloko if we do not feel like boarding keke. But now look at the road. They have spoiled everything for us.''
Pastor Mike, a pastor of one one the churches whose building is presently being endangered by the failed road appealed to the Lagos state governor to please come to their aid. According to him, ''since this road was like this many people have not been coming to church. Is this not a danger? (pointing to a gully in front of his church). Let the governor please return to finish the road because our lives are been endangered by it. We are begging him.''

DON'T PLACE YOUR CHURCH UNDER A CURSE
DON'T PLACE YOUR CHURCH UNDER A CURSE
The church is a spiritual house where spiritual laws operate. These spiritual laws must be taken seriously. One of such law is found in Hebrew 7:7. There, Apostle wanting to proof that Melchizedek was greater than Abraham refers to how the former bless the later. And Paul went on to say, ''without controversy, the less is blessed of the greater.
This is a strong spiritual law church founders who want their children or wives to succeed the must be wary of. Don't make your child who was born while some elders in the church were already pastors to become their head. it is confusion. Elders are those who must be appointed to head the church. How do you know elders since it is not by age or how long? You know those to give leadership positions through these three ways:
1) By casting a die. The Apostles in Acts 6 used this method. Although traditional, it is more reliable than hand-peaking. Casting of die could mean, in our present time, secret or open balloting.
2) Asking from God. Since we all assume to hear God, this method is more reliable. This process was used in the choice of David. Remember that despite the anointing upon Samuel, he made a wrong choice (cons. 1Sam. 16:4-13).
3) Using those who grow through the ranks. This was the method used in Acts 6 by the Apostles in the appointment of deacons. Use those who have served over the years, the experienced ones.
These are the three biblical methods of appointing Christian elders. Never you place your child or wife over there superior. It is spiritually unhealthy. Their academic attainment or eloquence does not matter. This is a spiritual matter, and ‘no one takes the honour upon himself.’ (Heb. 5:4).
