Greetings. Are you aware that your topic, “How Nigeria broke the back of Apartheid”, may not make sense to a Nigerian educated, a freshly graduated university graduate, or part of the crop of Nigerian undergraduates? What apartheid did to the black majority in South Africa, and Nigeria’s role in bringing apartheid to an end is largely unknown to our young ones of today. WHY?

Our young ones are proceeding into the future without that special wisdom which arises from a good sense of our own and other people’s history”. (…Martin Okpaleke)

My Easter Thoughts

My Easter Thoughts

Easter, a very important day in the Christian calendar, means different things to different people depending on age, religion and location. For the young, it is a time of revelry. First, it marks a break from the monotony and drudgery of school. It is also a time to connect with friends irrespective of their religious persuasions. For the average child, it is a time to have a new set of church clothes and participate in at least a couple of the many activities around Easter. For the deeply religious, Easter is a time to re-affirm their faith in loving God who died for the sins of the world and rose to intercede for His beloved.

Unbundling NNPC, unsettling Nigeria

Unbundling NNPC, unsettling Nigeria

Epileptic flow of imported petroleum products continually kept Nigerians at the benevolence of the national oil company in fuel queues.

The Change President and his slumberous Police Force

The Change President and his slumberous Police Force

Bail is now free. Isn’t it? One thing the APC does fairly well is appropriating moral high grounds. Intolerable hypocrisy happens in politics. Delusion is worse but excusable. A troublemaker can insist on being renamed ‘Papa peace’. We have humored many of them. The society is better if morons marched around with the self esteem of geniuses.

Dr. Shettima Bukar-Abba is the Acting Chairman of the Federal Character Commission who bears the burden of ensuring that all ethnic groups in the country are fairly represented in federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies.

The Osijos: Power pass power!

The Osijos: Power pass power!

I am not usually swayed so easily by stories I come across on the social media platforms, especially the ones with political twists and undertones that get most people in a frenzy for nothing. The same goes for stories with S.O.S. messages. However, the last couple of weeks have witnessed some very interesting developments that one cannot ignore or even wish away after reading. First, it was the Ese Oruru story that got everyone commenting.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter

Since Ash Wednesday on February 10, 2016, many Christians have undergone one Lenten observance or the other. Lent is over and tomorrow is Easter. In the euphoria of Easter, we should not sweep under the carpet the lessons we learnt in the last 40 days. They are meant to strengthen and make us better human beings?

Realities of Resurrection power

Realities of Resurrection power

There was no evil, corruption, sickness, famine, death, etc. Everything was beautiful and in abundance. Man reigned on earth as lord because he was given dominion and authority by God. However, man lost this position when he surrendered his authority to the devil by obeying the lies of the devil and sinning against God. Thus the devil became the god of this world.
