A former Minister of Communication and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Audu Ogbeh, has said Nigeria is fast becoming a laughing stock among other nations in the world because of the state of insecurity in the country.

Ogbeh therefore asked President Goodluck Jonathan to take drastic actions in the fight against the Boko Haram sect, noting that the country was already in grave danger.

The former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, who spoke with journalists in Abuja on Monday night, wondered why the Federal Government and the military could deploy soldiers to man streets without adequate equipment.

He said a situation where invaders would arrive and kill 100 in Katsina, 215 in Birnin Kebbi, kill in Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa states without being challenged was not acceptable.

He alleged that some of the the mercenaries were hired from neighbouring counties, saying that when they were caught, it was realised that they were of Arabian nationalities.

He said, Nigeria is fast becoming a laughing stock in the world. I think it is reaching a state where not only foreigners but Nigerians will begin to lose confidence in their country.

Again what of our neighbours, how much respect does Cameroon, Niger or Chad have for Nigeria? And what level of diplomacy are we deploying to talk to these people to make sure that bandits dont take refuge in their territory? If they had respect for Nigeria they wont try it.

I remember 1983 when some Chadian troublemakers invaded Nigeria and killed some soldiers, Gen. Buhari pursued them on the orders of President Shehu Shagari until the United States started panicking that we were implementing a Gaddafi agenda.

Recently I was discoursing with Buhari on this issue and he said he wanted to give them a bloody nose because he wanted to show them that they had no business entering Nigeria to cause trouble.

So when are we going to get tough. We are not a small country. And why should small neighbors do this to us or pretend not to know what is going on? When are we going to take tough measures against them?

Former Ekiti State Governor, Chief Segun Oni has defected to the All Progressives Congress.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Oni of the Peoples Democratic Party was removed as governor of Ekiti State by the Court of Appeal in 2011.

He later became the PDP Deputy National Chairman, South West, before joining Abubakar Baraje faction of the party.

Oni, who announced the defection on Monday at Ifaki-Ekiti, said he dumped the PDP to help current the Governor, Kayode Fayemi to win a second term.

According to him, Fayemi is the best option for the state in the June 21 governorship election.

Today, we are erecting a new platform to build the future of Ekiti, the future is paramount in our hearts and what our children will say about us.

Though, we might have had a past that was rough together, we must think of who can take the right decisions for us to build a prosperous future for Ekiti.

I am not talking of perfection here but something that is better and who can give us a better tomorrow.

Gov. Fayemi who was present at the occasion, described Onis defection as a home coming.

He assured the former governor that he would be accorded all the rights and privileges in his new party.

In recent years, religious progressives have been the neglected stepsister compared to her big brother, the religious right. Big brother gets all the attention from the media, while little sister is ignored. She also goes around with a tin cup begging for nickels and dimes while big brother has lots of money to spend.

Does little sister have future?

Yes, argues William A. Galston, E.J. Dionne Jr., Korin Davis, and Ross Tilchin in Faith In Equality: Economic Justice and the Future of Religious Progressives, a report from the Brookings Institution.

For one thing, age is on the side of religious progressives. Only 36 percent of religious conservatives are under 49 years of age, as opposed to 66 percent of religious progressives. Most of religious conservatives (62 percent) are baby boomers or older. "What's clear is that the religious right is not the wave of the future," the authors write.

But they also admit that "large-scale religious disaffiliation among the young means that religious progressives do not have a foothold in the new generation comparable to the powerful sentiments in favor of religious conservatism among older Americans."

"The National Catholic Reporter is an honest place, filled with honest people. I read it regularly, especially now that we Protestants find that we love the new Pope." - Donna Schaper, contributor

Or as David E. Campbell and Robert D. Putnam explain in "God and Caesar in America," for young adults " 'religion' means 'Republican,' 'intolerant,' and 'homophobic.' Since those traits do not represent their views, they do not see themselves -- or wish to be seen by their peers -- as religious."

The report does not soft-pedal other challenges religious progressives face.

There is need to overcome the identification of "religious" with "conservative" by the media and much of the public.

There are also tensions over religion in the Democratic Party. Democrats are "often tongue-tied about faith and uneasy about discussing it in public," the Faith in Equality authors write. Some secular Democrats oppose any use of religious language.
