''Nigeria Must Be Born Again'

''Nigeria Must Be Born Again' - Tunde Bakare

Pastor Tunde Bakare, the founder of the
Latter Rain Assembly, has urged the government to embark on institutional reforms and constitutional amendments.

Bakare said for Nigeria to move forward, a Presidential Commission for National Reconciliation, Reintegration and Restructuring should be set up to address the numerous challenges plaguing the nation.

According to reports, he said “This commission should be mandated to work closely with the stakeholders and power-plugs, as well as legislative houses to create a new national identity for the Nigerian people and facilitate the creation of an acceptable functional governmental structure for Nigeria.”

Bakare also added that “Integrity is not enough to run a nation, Nigeria must be born again.”

The clergy man also asked the federal government to hold a referendum where the people can put together a new constitution.

Bakare added that Nigeria’s problems are caused by what he termed “consequence of counterproductive national standards and self-limiting frameworks.”

He also said the federal government should have consulted widely before increasing the pump price of fuel.

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie. This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...
