INTERNATIONAL gospel musician, Don Moen was among gospel artistes of global repute, who gathered in Lagos at the 2014 edition of the annual music concert of the House on The Rock Church to seek for divine intervention in Nigeria.

Seun Oni known as Saeon by music fans has a thing going for her as a singer. Her hit single ‘Boogle Down’ is a good proof of what she can do. But it seems the beautiful lady has the mischievous streak in her genetic make-up.

It does seem clear to many of us who still have, and are guided by a sense of history that Nigeria derailed from its historical course, and drifts, when it abandoned Zikist ideology as its foundational myth. Much of Nigeria’s history, particularly since the civil war, has been shaped by a cynical disregard and disinterest in nation-building.

“Senate President David Mark is scared”. That was the title of a media report that caught my attention the other day. I could not immediately fathom what could scare the nation’s 3rd most powerful citizen until I read the story. It was only then I realized that despite the immense power of his office characterized by his retinue of aides as well as his background as a former military commander, there is not much difference between Senator Mark and my defenceless self who can shiver merely because the end of the year’s harmattan season when everywhere is cold has set in.

Black Stars coach Avram Grant has said he will consider an international return for Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng who were sent home in disgrace from the World Cup in Brazil.

In the last series of articles of this column, I tried, albeit briefly, to determine the electability of two major frontrunners in next year’s presidential elections, namely, President Goodluck E. Jonathan and former military head of state, Muhammadu Buhari. From the analysis, I concluded that despite the egregious failings of the incumbent President and the anti-corruption reputation of Buhari, Jonathan who has been chosen by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as its presidential candidate will defeat Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015 if the latter emerges as APC’s presidential flag bearer. That conclusion flows from two undeniable facts.
