The Door Must Stay Open: What women in Nigerian universities have learned to fear, by Stephanie Shaakaa
Lecturer made her uncomfortable; supervisor asking to see her after hours, a hint that her academic future depends on becoming more accommodating
Unwise Daniels have come to judgment (1)
Several notable jurists and lawyers have spoken loud and clear about the virus of corruption spreading like HIV among judicial officers. For example, Kayode Eso, formerly of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, has expressed frustration at the elephantine level of corruption by judicial officers, and the manner judges and lawyers of big men and thick madams abuse legal minutiae and technicalities to delay and subvert the course of justice.
Jonathan’s record so far (2)
That is their kind of leadership. In June, without a budget for the year, our President was in South Africa waving flag in a stadium. That is our kind of leadership. From South Africa he went to Delta and will soon run off to the G-8 Summit and who knows it will be Akwa Ibom next. Still, there is no 2010 budget. And this is the nation the dreamers, including Jonathan, expect will be top 20 in 2020!!! He got a No1 shirt in Toronto fit for jesters.
Re: Worldcup and preparedness
Dear Madam Helen, I felt so sad and sorry for our dear country after reading through your View-Point on ‘World Cup, weight loss and preparedness’. How I wish every Nigerian, especially those in the public offices and government, could read your expose. – Emeka in Enugu.’
Apostles of grace
When I think of the three sages, I think grace; people who live as apostles of grace, seeking enlightenment and knowledge. Is it possible that disillusionment and disappointment in the world that we live in is causing us to vent our frustration on each other under the guise of religious fervour? Could it be that we are all buying in to sentiments of hate that cause fear and division? Whatever the case maybe, I would strongly suggest that we all consider being apostles of grace no matter our different religious disposition! To live under God’s grace while being graceful one to the other!!
where our laws are made
There should be a law against any form of physical argument or contention within the walls of the hallowed chambers where the laws of this nation are made. We should no longer tolerate or accommodate such reprehensible behaviour as recently wantonly displayed among citizens who smugly answer to the name of “honourable” people.
