She also examines critically the threat posed on the continuity of the human race.
Hear her:
One has seen, over the years, many unpopular government decisions/their fall-outs in this country, but the recent fuel subsidy removal, effective on the first day of the new year, takes the biscuit for being the most baffling, insensitive and reckless, so far.
When in November 2011 the Senate passed a bill prohibiting same sex marriage, slamming it with a 14-year jail term as punishment, international communities who considered the law an abuse on the emotional rights of homosexuals, threatened to put an end to all grants and aids given to Nigeria unless the law was abolished. Here, acclaimed singles and married counselor, Pastor(Mrs.)Ruth Nick-Essien, Founder/Presiding Pastor of Exodus Evangelical Ministry in Lagos, reveals her views on the issue.
Her passion is to see every child surmount autism just the way she was able to help her son who was diagnosed with the developmental disability at age 2 overcome it and move on to mainstream society. Autism is a complex neuro-developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life as a result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain.
It is very encouraging to know that our citizens are becoming more and more health-conscious, and the days of accusing our ‘enemies’ of being responsible for any ailment we or members of our families suffer from, are fast running out.
A piece appeared the other day on the Aviation pages of a national daily about how extortion, harassment, stealing, etc., are still being carried on openly on passengers at the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos. It was well-written and it must have been an eye witness account because it aptly described all the shenanigans that go on at our nation’s busiest airport.

Research has shown that women constitute about one-half of Nigeria’s total population of 158 million. However, a good number of them find it difficult to get to the top due to various challenges. Mrs. Amina Oyagbola (nee Attah, ) has discovered the growing need to assist some of these women and give them the right focus in life.
This year’s Christmas celebration is among the unique ones in that it falls on a Sunday, so we’re celebrating the gift of a Saviour and also observing a day ordained by God for rest and reflection.

She is a woman with a heart of gold. Most admirable about Mrs.Regina Ezenwa, the Chief Executive Officer/Director of Rozec Pharmacy, is the quiet dedication with which she caters for widows and vulnerable youths and children through the Roses Ministry, a faith-based organisation she pioneered in 2007. Her words:
I know that times are hard financially for most companies and people, and many of us can do with more money than we have at present, but it is important that when seeking ways of boosting our revenue, we should do so with some integrity and fair play.
Recent administrations in the country have proved beyond doubts that if women are given the opportunity to hold offices in the public sector, they can indeed out-shine their male counterparts. It is no gainsaying then that several women are holding sway in different sectors of the Nigerian economy.
Woman EditorQueuing up is infectious. Ever since the Buhari/Idiagbon regime introduced it into our lives many years ago, it has stuck and become a way of life all over the country.
