Obinna Akukwe: Abuja-Lokoja highway and the blood-sucking witches in Aso Rock

Obinna Akukwe — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:17:09 +0000

Abuja-Lokoja road has become the most dangerous highway in Nigeria due to the numerous death from accident and blood spillage of Nigerians. It is obvious to spiritually discernible persons that the constant death on Abuja-Lokoja road is a deliberate conspiracy between the local witches and the politicians in Aso Rock, National Assembly and Federal Ministry [...]

‘Ifreke Inyang: WANTED: Strikers for the Super Eagles

Ifreke Inyang — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:00:49 +0000

It’s not time to press the panic button, but we certainly should be worried. Forget the 6-1 scoreline from Monday night. Nigeria desperately need players, who can simply tuck the ball into the net. The days when we used to have powerful, hungry and clinical forwards like Rashidi Yekini, Samson Siasia, Daniel Amokachi, etc. are [...]

Kehinde Ajose — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:53:55 +0000

In the entertainment industry, entertainers come and go like revolving doors. One minute they have a hit, a blockbuster, a bestselling book and before your coffee gets cold; they join the rat race to stay relevant. Like in every other industry, entertainers cannot afford to rest on their laurels. Your hit single can make the [...]

Jerry Adesewo — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:20:39 +0000

Though I am not a financial expert. Neither did my recent trip to Stockolm, the capital of Sweden have anything to do with economy or finance. It was an International Media Tour on Child’s Rights and Exclusion. My experience in Sweden is too significant to ignore. Hence, my decision to write this piece. Armed with [...]

Theophilus Ilevbare: Okada ban and the insensitivity of State Governors

Theophilus Ilevbare — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:39:40 +0000

“We have okada too in Rwanda. It is a lucrative business. A good number of people are doing okada business in Rwanda. But their activities are well-regulated. There are rules and regulations that define the limit of their operation.” “We also organise them into groups, such as association of owners and association of operators. The [...]

Ibrahim Dallah: Our absent comrades: Tribute to NANS Senate President and 4 others

Ibrahim Dallah — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 06:44:38 +0000

Kolade Olaoluwa (The immediate past Senate President) said once, “One man with courage can make a majority.” Atala Yusuf went on to say, “You will be remembered for two things: the problem you solve or the ones you create.” Both statements remind me of my NANS Senate President and Nigeria’s patriotic son, the late Donald [...]

Ugochukwu Ugwuanyi: A case in point for us to echo

Ugochukwu Ugwuanyi — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 19:43:40 +0000

There are certain points of convergence between Nigeria and Kenya. They are the East Africa’s largest economy, ditto for us in West Africa. Only one in every four Kenyans have access to electricity just like it obtains here in Nigeria. Our poverty levels are almost on a par, with ours pegged at 46 per cent [...]

Gimba Kakanda: Zaria: An encounter with depression

Gimba Kakanda — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 19:39:03 +0000

Last weekend was not only the date of the setting out of a political firework that stressed the pulse of the nation, it’s my moment of emotional solidarity with the state of Nigeria, with the ongoing cluelessness adopted as policy in checking its monsters—ethnic bigotries, regional advocacies, religious intolerances and, the deadliest, variegated opinions of [...]

Wale Odunsi: Nigerian celebrities: Killing themselves, by themselves

Wale Odunsi — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:39:28 +0000

Apparently basking in the euphoria of a new status, many Nigerians in showbiz throw caution in the wind in the process of “living it up”. These days, hardly does a month ends without news of someone in Nollywood or the Music industry, getting involved in car accident or public brawl. This comes as no surprise, [...]

Simon Kolawole: 2015 is knocking on the door

Simon Kolawole — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:13:43 +0000

I woke up Friday morning to some good news: the Federal Government has decided to offer free treatment to diabetic children. It may not make much sense to you – especially if you are one of those preoccupied with the latest gossip from the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF). In real life, however, a large population [...]

Femi Aribisala: Apostle Paul was a lying hypocritical Pharisee

Femi Aribisala — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 06:42:20 +0000

Jesus warns his disciples: “Beware of these Pharisees and the way they pretend to be good when they aren’t. But such hypocrisy cannot be hidden forever.” (Luke 12:1). This warning certainly applies to Paul. Paul declares: “I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee.” (Acts 23:6). Moreover, his hypocrisy, hidden in his days, is [...]

Uche Igwe: Where are the founding fathers of PDP?

Uche Igwe — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 05:41:40 +0000

If care is not taken, the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) may be approaching an implosion. Some may ask “I do not belong to any political party and so why should that border me. But for a single political party that is control of the central government and a majority of the states, why shouldn’t [...]

It will be exactly 20years on June 12, 2013 that Gen. Ibrahim Babangida promised to return the country to civilian rule in 1993. In the course of fulfilling the promise a constituent assembly completed a constitution and political activities were again started.
