His command that Nigerians should pray continuously for nine days for the health of the President is the latest in the ridiculous ways that are becoming Nigerian life. Where did he draw the authority […]

VENEZUELAN Ambassador to Nigeria, Enerique Fernando Arrundell, could not have offered his advice on Nigeria’s management of its petroleum resources at a better time.
