I don't think the problem is with these two woooo! It's to those of us followers!

As we go to the polls tomorrow kindly vote peacefully, shun any form of violence and exhibit high sense of patriotism! Gracias!

Football Palaver CHELSEA's NIGHT

Football Palaver : Well The Blues the night is here in UCL against PSG! Wishing JM and the team the best of luck. Also asking for fair play and fair officiating by The Referee and the numerous assistants UEFA introduced recently cos most times those ones standing behind the goalposts seem to be doing absolutely nothing!

Unscrupulous elements to deforest on the Mambilla Platea

In recent times Govt agents connived with some unscrupulous elements to deforest the once Beautiful Govt Reserved Forests on The Mambilla Plateau. The exercise was carried out in such a reckless and ferocious manner without minding the consequences of the quantum of damages done to the environment. Today apart from the Eucalyptus farms owned by individuals, that of Govt has become a shadow of it former self. What a pity! Now the little one that adorned The Govt Lodge within Gembu Metropolis is being hewed with such a recklessness one wonders if there is any Govt organ to check n stop all these nonsense? That's not just my concern. What about the dirtiness,filts we have created for the town? Its a big shame us as a people to have abandon the multi-million naira Gembu New Market to lay in waste only for us to go for the open,conjested,narrow one near Pege? Or more still to have the Old Motorpark junction so so conjested with big lorries offloading goods there instead of the new Motorpark? Worst still the Catholic Church junction has turned into a Motorpark? Even more pathetic is the obstruction of the new tarred road with goods and wares thereby posing grave dangers to those plying that road. Why can't the LGC direct those doing their personal constructions along that highway remove and decongest the roads? Now the Big One;where is the Gembu Master plan? I can see Gembu developing and expanding both east and westward so what happens now that no one is paying any attention to the provision of schools,clinics or recreation centres? I'm deeply embarrassed that a big town such as ours no portable drinking water for the teeming populace? Electricity? Proper drainage systems? The reckless way and manner refuse is dumped without any plans whatsoever to remove such? Haba

As civil servants

MY RANDOM THOUGHTS: we toil day and night so as to contribute our quota to National Development. In other words without civil servants no meaningful development shall take place. It is in the light of this that majority of the categories of civil servants retire by a continuous 35 years(for my category as a teacher)or at the attainment of 60 years.In our country and my state Taraba it is expected that having put these many years in the service of our dear state and country retirement should expectedly be a period of enjoying life after but greatly alarming is the total negligence of this categories of our senior citizens! Many have died without enjoying a single kobo! THE CASE IN TARABA STATE IS TERRIBLE!What is happening in Taraba State? Some STATE GOVT RETIRED CIVIL SERVANTS have gone for several years without getting their benefits paid. THAT OF RETIRED LOCAL GOVT STAFF? They are worst off with some retiring since 2013 without having their names even on the monthly pension! ANY surprise therefore in seeing these categories of our citizens dying penury,poverty and disease? I write this appealing to The AG GOVERNOR OF TARABA STATE,ALH ABUBAKAR SANI DANLADI to please pay. The Labour Movement in the state had gone deaf and dumb. So your EXCELLENCY KINDLY RESCUE!

Football Palaver :

Football Palaver : Congratulations to The Gunners for gunning down The Red Devils of Manchester! Ordinarilly I would have kept mute but for Gee Tee Kataps, Charles and Tim Juyoh who all would have accuse me of not showing any form of sportsmanship despite the fact that Chelsea were knocked out of the FA Cup earlier by Watford! And on the other hand an unrepentant Man U fan Hamza Abubakar will obviously feel I was getting my pound of flesh over Man Utd's elimination at OT by Arsenal! I told a few friends that by selling off Welbeck to Arsenal Man Utd were gonna regret one day and that one day came tonight with that brilliant 2nd goal he scored. Well it isn't uhuru yet cos the semi-final draws was done immediately and Arsenal will meet the winner between Watford /Reading.
