Who would blame those Nigerians who are fed up with governance in this nation and have lost hope that any change of batons can bring about the sort of governance which will impact positively on the lives of Nigerians?

They say you cannot eat your cake and have it. This is what some people up North are trying to do, and I warn Acting President Goodluck Jonathan not to be trapped into a scapegoat position. He must stand his ground that our President is ill and that as Acting President, he calls the shots, brooking no instructions or intrusions from anyone or quarters.

“Politics is the madness of the many for the benefit of the few”.
As this lengthy series progresses, we shall read here the responses of the fanatical supporters of one candidate or another. The greatest sin a columnist can commit is to point out that Babangida, Buhari, Atiku, Shekarau or whoever is not perfect.

Iwu’s job is on the line. In the month or so, the I.N.E.C boss should be looking for a new job. The man, who has the final say, the acting president, has said so. The regulation has said so.

The best one can infer is a consortium of designers whose works were constrained by the materials available to them. The theory of evolution offers a superior explanation of biological complexity by spelling out in verifiable details how the mechanism of natural selection functions to eliminate organisms that could not adapt to the changing environment. What creationists see as products of design, therefore, are really the end results of evolutionary processes that have been occurring on earth relentlessly for about 3.5 billion years.

I traveled from St. Louis, to Detroit, to Amsterdam the previous Wednesday on my way to Liverpool. I did not arrive Liverpool. The Delta/KLM flight just managed to complete the first leg of the journey. I arrived at the Schipol Airport in Amsterdam on Thursday morning preparatory to taking the morning hop to Liverpool.

Today, I really need to give all women a wake up call. Everyone is so busy doing everything, that they just do not have time for the most important things. Women work so hard these days, they do not care about their relationships and their marriages. What could be so important that a woman would get to her house everyday at 10pm or 11pm.

There is yet former military Head of State, Buhari, still very articulate and purposeful, but at the moment in dire need of a firm political base. Then there are several state governors whose appeal suffers from the limitations of an overwhelmingly parochial spread, and requires more exposure for acceptance on the national scene.

For the understanding of the chaos in the downstream sector of the oil industry, I would quote relevant paragraphs on ‘pricing of refined petroleum products‘ from my book, The ‘Thunderbolt‘ published in 2002. ‘The present problems of instability in the prices of white oils – gasoline (PMS) diesoline (AGO) and dual purpose kerosene (DPK) could be traced back to the late 1960s when the Northern elites started to clamour for uniform prices for all petroleum products and electricity tariffs.

MOST Kenyans like many Africans might not know about Iceland or where to locate it on the map. I do not know if there would be a handful of Kenyans who would have heard of the jaw breaking name, Eyjafjalljokull volcano.

I CANNOT claim to know what informed the decision of Sports Minister Ibrahim Bio to convene a sports summit. What we cannot deny however, is that if the man has chosen that line of action in the little time that he would spend around sports to let us talk, we should permit him.

NIGERIA is fortunate that Babangida has chosen this moment in our history to grant an interview to the BBC saying the young generation lack the education and experience to lead Nigeria.

ONE of the institutions most devastated under Babangida, was the judiciary. As usual, he presented himself as a champion of what he hoped to destroy.

I FEELa sense of urgency in writing this letter to you, Alhaji Bala, regarding your recent appointment and confirmation as Minister of Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory.

The Caribbean may not be too schooled on who is in power in Abuja but surely households here and all over the Caribbean are plastered with wall to wall posters of the electrifying Genevieve Nnaji, diamond and multi talented sister Damascus, neck bender nollywood super stars, whose mouthwatering poises like those sisters from the Niger bend, continue to gasp their audience and cause civil wars among men.
