Corruption is the major factor impeding development in Nigeria.

This assertion was made by Prophet Timothy Arabambi of the Christ Apostolic Church(CAC) Ile-Atunse, Olunloyo-Akanran road, Ibadan, Nigeria.

''God blessed us with men and women of intellect and integrity. This country is blessed with natural resources that can lift our economy, but the greatest problem we have in the country is corruption.''

''Corruption is the elder brother of Nigeria and Nigeria is dancing the tune of her elder brother. I can say that the people in government are trying, but they don't have good people to implement government policies. If Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria,'' Prophet Arabambi warned.

The 14-day ultimatum issued by the Nigeria Labor Congress(NLC) and the Trade Union Congress(TUC) is a ploy to distract Nigerians from the deteriorating situation in the country.

This assertion was made by the Oyo state council of the TUC, Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

''The 14-day ultimatum issued by the NLC and TUC is the result of a conspiracy between the unions and the government to hoodwink workers and Nigerians. Nigerians are not expecting anything from the ultimatum. The leadership of both the NLC and TUC can no longer be trusted. The ultimatum is only a distraction''.

''The prayer point in the mouths of millions of Nigerians is for God to intervene in the present situation which is deteriorating on a daily basis,'' Comrade Emelieze stated.

Human Rights Activist and Lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana(SAN) has described the decision of the Federal Government to order International Money Transfer Operators and money deposit banks to pay Dollar remittances in Naira as an ongoing manipulation by the government.

Mr. Falana(SAN) made this assertion on Saturday on a Radio program monitored in the South West Geo-Political zone of Nigeria.

The Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) had issued a circular dated January 31, stipulating that all in-bound money transfers to Nigeria will only be paid in Naira through a bank account or in cash at the prevailing rate on the Nigeria Foreign Exchange Market.

''The government is not looking at the records. I wrote a petition in 2017, someone sent me money from America, and at the bank where I collected the money, which was not complete, I asked for the shortfall. The banks in foreign countries are benefiting from these monies. Go on the market, the Dollar goes for N1,500, by the next day the price will change. If Diaspora remittances are put at $25 Billion, where does the money go to and recipients are paid in Naira?  We have passed through this part before. It is part of the manipulation that is going on,'' Mr. Falana stated.

He maintained that food security could only be guaranteed when Nigerians, '' mount pressure on the government to invest in mechanized farming, it is no longer feasible to feed our people with cutlasses and hoes. Nigeria has arable land. It is wasting. The government must provide security for farmers.''

The Government at all levels can only succeed when competent hands are Appointed into Public Office.

This assertion was made by the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke, in his lecture titled ''NIGERIA DEVELOPMENT REVIVAL NEED: THE WAY OUT, at the Shafudeen Annual Ishrat Grand Finale:Shafaudeen@41'', in Ibadan, Nigeria.

''No government can succeed unless it identifies the professionals and accepts their advice.

The ruling class feed fat while the people suffer from kwashiorkor. Appointments even at the Federal level under this government attract international ridicule for the country where corruption has become endemic because of no control and deterrence! While the whole world is moving towards the total achievement of an inclusive society, we are experiencing in Nigeria poor and faulty appointments without due process! And less than a year in office too!

The policies of the government at all levels are suffocating Nigerians.

This assertion was made by the Chief Executive Officer of Hand of God Nigeria Limited, Idi-Arere, Ibadan, Nigeria, Mr. Emmanuel Okechukwu. ''Government is not allowing poor Nigerians to breathe. Let the poor breathe. The government has to address corruption, considering the fact that our leaders are self-centered. When the head is faulty, this will affect the whole body. When God has given us all we need to prosper, Nigerians suffer. The government is not doing enough,'' Mr. Okechukwu stated.
