Posterity will judge members of CRSHA - Joseph Odok


CRSHA una na baba, I know you guys will approve the budget of Kinetic Crystallization of geometric retrogression of CRS

I also know you guys will approve the USD 400 million dollars loan just sent to Assembly by the Governor to finally bury Cross River State with infested debt 

We are aware your pockets were watered for the final burial of Cross River State with 10 million naira each totally 250 billion naira. This sum will surely be like the biblical portage Esau took to sell his birthright

We gave you our votes to sell Cross River State. Cross River State is debt infested with shortfall on revenue because of previous loans but financial inducement will lead the CRSHA to approve more loans for the increasing geometric retrogression of the state.  I know our criticism will stop you guys from both passing the budget of 1.3 trillion naira nor will it stop you from approving the loan of USD 400 million despite huge debt

I know  you guys were previously impoverished only for peanuts to be given to you now for the final burial of CRS. We know some more monies will be given to John Gaul and his cabal to facilitate the passage of the budget and  the approval of USD 400 million or about 17 billion loan for the construction of low Tech and 3D center. If this item is taking so much fund, I wonder how much we will borrow for the Super High Way and Deep Seaport. How much will be borrowed to execute over 40 MoUs with different acronyms?

We are aware of the fact that the combined effect of 2016 and 2017 budget which was passed by your Assembly is still not seen by citizens of the state except spirits in the Assembly and cabal of the Speaker John Gaul Lebo. We are aware that the combination of the two budget amounts to more than 650 billion. We were told that these budgets were implemented about 80% yet no single road has been asphalted in Cross River State, no single culvert constructed, our education is in total collapse, our water system is dysfunctional though CRS once had the best water system in Nigeria during the Donald Duke days. 

We cry that with previous budgets, none of our many investments is in functional capacity; be it Tinapa, Obudu Mountain Resort, Marina Resort, International Conference Center, Monorail, our private jet, etc that previous administrations took the debt that infested Cross River State in poverty.

We truly know that despite three release of three trenches of Paris Club Refunds, a greater percentage of our Cross River State civil Servants and pensioners are yet to be paid despite huge revenue release

I know our stakeholders and elders are quiet, only few youths are talking. Our elite class are constantly pursuing contracts and and picking appointments for themselves or their wards in the journey of the total sale of CRS

Which way Cross River State? Who brought this embarrassment to us?

Apple fighting against its government

The United States government has demanded that Apple take an unprecedented step which threatens the security of our customers. We oppose this order, which has implications far beyond the legal case at hand.  This moment calls for public discussion, and we want our customers and people around the country to understand what is at stake. The Need for Encryption Smartphones, led by iPhone, have become an essential part of our lives. People use them to store an incredible amount of personal information, from our private conversations to our photos, our music, our notes, our calendars and contacts, our financial information and health data, even where we have been and where we are going. All that information needs to be protected from hackers and criminals who want to access it, steal it, and use it without our knowledge or permission.
