CAN opposes Grazing Reserve Bill
FOLLOWING recent escalating spate of violent activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, on Wednesday submitted a memorandum to House of Representatives Committee on Agricultural Production and Services on the incessant clashes between Fulani herdsmen and pastoralists, farmers and farming communities across the country voicing its opposition for the National Grazing Reserve Bill which is said to have passed its second reading in the National Assembly.
UNTH as a metaphor of a failed state
I apologise to my teeming readers for this three-week absence. The reason is encapsulated in my choice of this title which has also become my reflection on the 53rd anniversary of Nigeria’s independence which we celebrate tomorrow.

When my brother died in LUTH!
Death never crossed my mind. The worst I expected was his long stay in the hospital. He had been referred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, from a private hospital in Amuwo Odofin in Lagos.

On many occasions, I turned down my husband and he doesn’t feel good about this. Does this mean that something is wrong?
