Game Changers, by Patrick Omorodion

Game Changers, by Patrick Omorodion

The Bible in Isaiah 43:19 tells us that God is the ul- timate Game Changer because He tells us that He is the game changer in our life. “For I am about to do something new”.. Apart from Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the Bible also mentioned certain biblical figures, who God used significantly […]

The vengance of Omo-Agege’s former houseboys, by Emmanuel Aziken

The vengance of Omo-Agege’s former houseboys, by Emmanuel Aziken

It is difficult to pinpoint when the political gusts turned against the one time political impresario of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Delta State, Senator Victor Omo-Agege. The contradiction in the circumstances facing Omo-Agege is the fact that he is being subjected to a social media trial in the hands of those he not too long […]

Is Nigeria now a Yoruba Republic? By Ugoji Egbujo

Is Nigeria now a Yoruba Republic? By Ugoji Egbujo

The last time I wrote about this tragedy which I now call Tinubu’s Terrible Tribalism, I had asked: Is Tinubu settling scores? Because the president’s naked embrace of Yorubacentricism after a lifetime of railing with his kinsmen against Hausa-Fulani hegemony could only have been inspired by vengeance.  But such undisguised and unbridled vengeance in his first term […]

Ojukwu so loved Nigeria, by Emeka Obasi

Thanks to Chief Kanayo Esinulo’s book, ‘Ojukwu : Exile, Diplomacy and Survival’, the truth about the one commonly referred to as Biafran rebel leader, is emerging. General Ibrahim Babangida’s revelation may just be what Nigerians need, to turn a new leaf. Indeed, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu – Ojukwu believed so much in Nigeria that all through his twelve […]

Another year rolls by for the President and the country, by Muyiwa Adetiba

Another year rolls by for the President and the country, by Muyiwa Adetiba

Thedance between General Obasanjo and Admiral Adelanwa which took place recently had its generous share of the social media space with many wondering if it was not one of those TikTok gimmicks. I can confirm that it was not AI generated. It actually took place at the 90th birthday celebration of Admiral Michael Adelanwa, a former Chief […]

NYSC Extension: Not so fast, Hon. Minister, by Francis Ewherido

The Minister of Education, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, has proposed extending the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) service year from one year to two years. This proposed extension has enormous implications in terms of additional funding by the federal government, impact on the corps members and their families, etc. Consequently, the proposal needs to be vigorously scrutinized.

Trillion-dollar economy impossible without education, by Adekunle Adekoya

Trillion-dollar economy impossible without education, by Adekunle Adekoya

Senator Musa, among other things, also said: “And when you look at advanced economies, Mr. President has […]

New technologies, shifting perspectives on knowledge sharing, and changing funding structures are revolutionising how research is published and accessed. This transformation is primarily driven by open access publishing and the rise of digital platforms. In this article, I explore these developments, what they mean for researchers, […]

“Hunters” of Uromiland, by Ochereome Nnanna

“Hunters” of Uromiland, by Ochereome Nnanna

Jungle justice is ugly. It is not only a sickening sight to behold, it is also wrong because the victim, who most of the time is innocent, misunderstood or framed up by his enemies, is denied justice under the law. That said, I must express my utter disgust at the kneejerk reactions of some highly-placed individuals […]

From Irrua to Abuja, a telecom user’s experience, by Okoh Aihe

From Irrua to Abuja, a telecom user’s experience, by Okoh Aihe

It is certainly very refreshing to step out of your little bubble of comfort and visit some other parts of the country, especially for a good cause – the Reunion of ACCIOBA ‘79 Set, the Annunciation Catholic College Old Boys who left school in 1979. Please, don’t add 46 years ago so that you don’t make […]
