Last week on National Assembly elections, Jega proved that he can be trusted by Nigerians and to all who prayed for a successful election. It is worthy now to say he is a man of his words and not a liar like many have thought and feared.

I was listening to a radio interview with the on- air guest, Mr. Jude Abaga aka MI currently Nigeria’s top rapper as rated by his colleagues. He talked about the song that launched him to stardom “Crowd mentality”. Little did he know he was being a poetic prophet, a few years later … ‘every body in Nigeria wants to sing!”

When I heard of the death of 20-year-old British born Claudia Aderotimi and the circumstances surrounding her death, nothing bit me more than the rationale that walked her into death

We’ve heard it said that if the present is well taken care of, the future will take care of itself.
