Title: Behind the Scenes

I believe in politics, behind every corrupt practice, there is an unseen scene.. behind every bribe, there is an unseen scene... The scenes of a selfish act.. In the above scene, MONEY seems POWER, SELF INTEREST overrides INTEREST OF THE COMMON GOOD, where integrity is compromised.
Here is a scenario - VOTE BUYING
The despicable practice of vote buying in which voters cunningly allows party agents to know which parties they voted for is so rampant such that the outcome of the entire process does not necessarily reflect the true genuine democratic choices of the people. Indeed, the level of electoral manipulation is so brazen, the desperation to win so palpable, that voters go behind voting venues, in some cases to buildings outside the voting area, to collect bribe from party agents. Also, there are usually sporadic shootings, ballot box snatching, driving away of some party agents, together with oppression, intimidation, and undue influence on voters while voting is going on.
SAY NO TO CORRUPTION,
SAY NO TO BRIBERY,
SAY NO TO VIOLENCE,
SAY NO TO SELFISH LEADERS,
STAND FOR GOOD LEADERSHIP,

Makoko in Lagos is a slum neighborhood above the Lagos Lagoon. It has been around for along time dating back to the 18th century, and at that time it was a fishing village. Makoko is really one of the many sad stories of Lagos, it is seen and not seen all in one glance, an invisible community that many are actually unaware of. It is an extremely poor area, and as can be expected with poverty comes a whole range of social issues, making Makoko a no go area in the mind of the average

Title: "The Sync Factor" Medium: Graphite pencils and charcoal pencils on paper Partnership involves two or more individuals, investors, shareholders, or suppliers who agreed to share the responsibilities, gains, funding and liability of a business. Most Nigeria business men and women are having hard times creating collaborative engagements that can strengthen the future of their businesses. Why? This is because most business partnerships are negotiated through third-party involvements, legal business structuring and formatted partnership agreements that entrepreneurs ordinarily find difficult to understand and implement. Having and working with investment partners that will not take advantage of you and your business can go a long way to boost the business, minimize cost and procedures..
