WAR mongers and leading candidates for the International War Crimes Tribunal, Tony Blair and George W. Bush were in Nigeria on February 20. The twosome have made our contemporary world far more insecure and turbulent than they met it.

WILLY Bazuaye epitomises the best and worst of the fate of Nigerian athletes. A former international, a coach with the Eagles, especially the U-20 team that won at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, he has been down with stroke since 2003.

I HAVE never fully understood why so many Nigerian politicians insist on bitterly informing anyone who will listen to their tedious tales of woe that they were forced to comply when Obasanjo (aka OBJ), our former President, “foisted” Yar’Adua on the PDP and the nation.

ACTUALLY, Health Minister Professor Babatunde Oshotimehin has a lot more to worry about than the President’s health.

Some who eagerly rush into it, do so because they have the assurance that their wives or their wives families can conveniently pick the bills, and they will not be affected in any way. This is the major reason why a lot of men commit all sorts of things in order to get money to buy cars, build houses and acquire other properties of their choice before even thinking of getting married.
