SANWO-OLU GIVES HOPE, OFFERS LIFELINE FOR TWO OUT-OF-SCHOOL GIRLS     …Gov: “These two girls will be under my care and that of the First Lady”   On his way to an official function on Thursday, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu momentarily halted his convoy to attend to a disturbing situation. It was a sight of two underage girls on an errand for a bean cake vendor during school hours.    Time was 11am; the girls were expected to be in school. But, both Amarachi Chinedu, 9, and Suwebat Husseini, 12, were forced to skip school by their parents in order to serve some domestic assistance.    The girls were going to deliver buckets of peeled beans and pepper to a grinder when the Governor sighted them at Anthony Village area.

"I was abandoned by my mother at the age of seven months (7 months) with my father and step-mother. My step-mother was mean. I endured all manner of maltreatment she meted at me. Sometimes I went hungry for days. She would so starve me that I would be seeing death. On one occasion, I was very hungry that I had to eat our dog's leftover food but boy caught me eating the dog's leftover food (eba and egusi) and he told his mother who later that evening invited me to her house and asked me if what her son said was true. I was so terrified that I begged her not to tell my step-mother, because she will kill me if she knew that I ate the dog's leftover instead of throwing it away. The woman wept and promised to give me food everyday without my step-mother knowing, a promise she kept till we left the compound. As if starving me was enough punishment, my step-mother flogged me merciless until I would faint at times. She would also apply pepper on my vagina, eyes, ar...

THE SECOND COMING OF THE MAN  FROM 'OKLA- HOMA'...... BY KEHINDE DARE.. One thing that distinguishes a Perfomer from a chronic failure is the legacies of both. A Perfomer does not wait for anyone to goad him into action, he starts off and hits the ground running  on assuming office. He is a man with ideas who always meets his target, a kind of magician who can squeeze water out of stone. On the other hand, a failure is a person who finds himself in the position of Authority  by providence rather that competence.He is a non Perfomer, he is intellectually deficient, lacks ideas and a passive member in any group. Honourable Sanni Ganiyu Okanlawon belongs to the former group of active performer. Okla for short is not from Oklahoma, a state in the United States of America , but a Nigerian, lawmaker of  whom there is no guile,   but a craft of   promoting legacy of  developmental politics.
