See what Donald Trump just signed an order on, in less than 24 hours to US Presidential Election.

In fact, President Donald John Trump wasn't a politician before now. He was a businessman who was doing well for himself before joining politics. As funny as this may sound, he has done outstandingly well in leadership more than some self exclaimed full time politician. America has since he became President experienced dramatic economic growth.

More so, in the global Pandemic that struck some months ago, he was able to try his best to take full control of the virus, even though his haters have been accusing him of the deaths that were recorded during the outbreak of Covid-19 as if he was the one that produced and spread the virus. Some Americans still even blame him for the increase in the cases of Covid-19 in the US. How laughable!

Worthy of note is the fact that, Donald Trump is loved as much as he is hated. This has been evidential in most tweets he has made a fortnight ago. It has been a "fight to the finish" on Twitter between him and his opponent, Joe Biden.

Recall that the Presidential Election is less than 24 hours from now. The US Presidential Election will kickstart Tuesday 3rd November, 2020.

Just like the normal presentation of points and agendas between him and Joe Biden with the aim of convincing the electorates on why they want the electorate to vote for them, Donald Trump disclosed one of his plans in a tweet few hours ago. He disclosed that he has just singed an order to establish the 1176 Commission.

He added that, with that, his administration will be able to stop the radical indoctrination of the students of the United States of America and consequently restore patriotic education to the American schools. In his words, he tweeted thus, "Just signed an order to establish the 1776 Commission. We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students, and restore PATRIOTIC EDUCATION to our schools!"

The 1776 Commission is an education commission that is originally proposed by President Donald Trump with the primary aim of supporting patriotic education as well as to make preparation foe the celebration of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States 6 years from now (2026) - Wikipedia

What do you think about this? I wish our Nigerian leaders can invest more in the Educational Sector the way the United States do.

PunchngNov 28, 2020Read original

Many Nigerians have been paying tribute to the late editor of Sunday Times and celebrated columnist, Gbolabo Ogunsanwo, who died at 75.

Ogunsanwo died on Friday in Lagos after a brief illness. Some of those who have paid tribute to the lateSunday Timeseditor were Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, and leading lights in Nigerian journalism, namely former Ogun State Governor, Chief Olusegun Osoba; ex-Minister of Transportation, Chief Ebenezer Babatope; a former manager of training at theDaily Times, Chief Tola Adeniyi; and another veteran journalist, Mr Eric Teniola.

A statement by Kunle Somorin, Chief Press Secretary to Abiodun, on Friday, said Ogunsanwo rose to the peak of his career as the “first editor to hit one million copies in sales per edition.”

Abiodun also described the late journalist as a witty columnist, urging current media practitioners to find comfort in the good works of the deceased.

“He really exemplified excellence, courage and forthrightness, which our state is known for. Indeed, he was a role model that nurtured many reporters who have also become legends in pen-pushing and leaders in other spheres,” the statement quoted the governor as saying.

Abiodun said Ogunsanwo would be sorely missed and prayed that God should receive his soul and comfort his family.

Adeniyi described the late journalist as brilliant and intellectually sound, adding that his death was a shock to him and that the media industry would miss him.

He also noted that the late editor was a creative writer, who coined words “out of ordinary things” in his writings.

Adeniyi, who said he had spoken to the family members of the deceased, stated that the Nigerian media would greatly miss the late journalist.

He said, “He was a humourist. His writings were both intellectually and scholarly sound. He died on Friday in Lagos on his way to the hospital. He was the editor of theSunday Timesand also acting editor ofThe Daily Timesin 1974.

“During his time as the editor, the paper was selling between 950,000 and one million copies in a day. It was unprecedented.

“We would miss him. The media industry has lost a colossus.”

Osoba toldNewsmakersNGin a telephone conversation that Ogunsanwo’s death was “most unfortunate.”

“He was a dynamic and go-getter journalist; one of the greatest writers of his time. May his soul rest in perfect peace,” he added.

Babatope said he was shocked by the news of Ogunsanwo’s death, adding, “He was a true friend of mine. It’s a bad day for me. I’ve been down since I heard about the death of Gbolabo. It’s terrible. May his soul rest in peace!

“He made a tremendous contribution to the progress and development of Nigeria. Gbolabo was a true Nigerian. He loved his country. He wrote very well. He had a beautiful column in theSunday Timesof old, called ‘Life with Gbolabo Ogunsanwo’. It was a very beautiful column he was writing at that time. Nobody can fault everything that Gbolabo Ogunsanwo did to aid the progress and development of Nigeria. We are all going to die; we are all getting old, but we should pray for the repose of the soul of Gbolabo Ogunsanwo. We pray that God should bless his soul and bless his memories.”

Teniola toldSaturday PUNCHthat the late Ogunsanwo was a versatile journalist and columnist.

He said, “He featured prominently during the Yakubu Gowon era. He operated mostly between 1972 and 1976. He wrote mostly on political views and was against corruption. He had a powerful column in theSunday Times, though he was also the editor of the paper. At that time, there were very powerful columnists inSunday Timesbut his writings were unique because they were punchy.

“But he devoted the last five years of his life to working for God; he was into church activities. He was a nice gentleman and had a lot of powerful friends. He kept his friends till he died. He was an incorruptible man; I remember he was asked to become the publicity secretary of a political party and after spending about a week, he left. He said he could not operate in that environment. So, he was a very principled man. He was a dogged writer and was a very powerful one. He became an editor at a very young age, shortly after he left university.

“Most of the writings that we remember now were written about 45 years ago. He didn’t like violence, though he was a radical writer. Having a column at that time was a powerful thing, so you can imagine what he was writing at that time to have been made an editor and have had a powerful column at a young age. He had a mastery of the English language.”

The late Ogunsanwo was generally described as takingSunday Timesto a height never reached thereafter by any weekly paper in Nigeria. He was said to have belonged to a small circle of ethical journalists whose style of writing ruffled bad leaders and earned him the respect of the public. After a visit to Tanzania, while Julius Nyerere was the president of the East African country, Ogunsanwo reportedly returned home and berated Nigerian leaders. He faulted their flamboyant lifestyles, condemning how some Nigerian politicians looted public funds to build private empires, in comparison to the moderate lifestyle of Nyerere.
