For the average Nigerian women who are engrossed with western cultures, there is the need for them to go back to their roots as there are a lot of values in African culture especially their hairstyles. This is the central message in the ongoing exhibition at the Omenka gallery Ikoyi.

Nigeria of today is a place where buildings collapse. Chief Omo Aisagbonhi, a real estate developer, in this interview, explains why buildings go down and proffers solution.

In 2008, I wrote two articles titled “WHEN GENIUS FAILS”. The first was about the former Director-General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Dr Ndidi Onyuike warning about the imminent collapse of the Stock Exchange that year. It happened as predicted. The second was related to the crisis in the banking sector even as Professor Soludo was pretending that all was well with the banks. Today, everybody knows better. Where are OCEANIC, INTERCONTINENTAL, BANK PHB etc today? This article also might have been titled “WHEN GENIUS FAILS -3” and it would have been appropriate because the Federal Minister of Finance is no longer the highly respected figure she was in 2003-2005. Her return is shaping out to be some sort of personal disaster for her for many reasons – mostly political.

I want to say that Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi is neither my friend nor my enemy. My only relationship with him is that we were former Bendalites before the military separated us into Edo and Delta States. He being from Illah fell into Delta while me from a little village called Ekpon in Igueben local government fell into Edo.

Balewa’s control of the national government placed the Northern region at an advantage over the other two regions because NPC, the party representing its interests, had power over federal revenue and other important national institutions. Expectedly, the NPC used its dominant influence to determine, in favour of the North, developmental projects to implement, where to site such projects and contractors that would execute them. Northern political leaders wanted power at the centre desperately out of conviction that the NCNC and AG, if allowed to control the federal government, would likely allocate more resources to the Eastern and Western regions at the expense of the underdeveloped Northern region.

The Federal Government has promised to continue to harness peoples’ cultural heritage and creativity to rejuvenate the country’s economy.
