Since 2009, there have been bloodletting in the North on the grounds of Islamizing the country by Jama-‘a Ahl al-sunnah li-da’wa wa al-jiha-d, also known as Boko Haram. In this interview, the Bishop, Diocese of Kubwa, Anglican Communion, and National Treasurer of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, the Right Reverend Duke Akamisoko, speaks on the national insecurity created by the activities of the group and other pertinent issues that need to be addressed if Nigeria is to move forward. Excerpts:

Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing in the General Yakubu Gowon regime, 1966-1975, Alhaji Lateef Olufemi Okunnu, SAN, 80, remains a major name in the building of modern Nigeria. He oversaw the programme for the change-over of traffic from left to right-hand which started in 1969 but became effective on 2 April, 1972 following the recommendations of the Alhaji Babatunde Jose Panel. The octogenarian explains, in this interview, why Nigeria should not celebrate slavery in the name of centenary. Excerpts:

Professor Ango Abdullahi is the face of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF. In this interview, he warns of the consequences of some unguarded staements of a few individuals close to the presidency and insists that President Goodluck Jonathan would not be president in 2015

As we approach the peak of rainy season, the North Central zonal office of the National Emergency Agency (NEMA) has embarked on disaster risk management campaign in order to mitigate the negative effect of the impending flood predicted by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) in 2013.

I called this briefing because of events that are unfolding in the polity. Recently, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Mr. Kingsely Kuku, made a statement in the United States of America, that the peace being enjoyed in the Niger Delta will not be guaranteed if President Goodluck Jonathan is not returned as President of Nigeria in 2015. This statement has been supported by several groups from the region.
