The whole things buoys down to politics as far as I am concerned and what is happening is that they are playing over the sensibilities of Nigerians. So, it is high time we as a people be vigilant, remain focused and insist that the right thing must be done.

It was a slap on the face of decorum. The official broke loose from the crowd and grabbed the cameraman recording the scene. The official, identified as Benin-City Airport Manager, took the camera and smashed it. Many in the crowd were aghast. The crowd had gathered following a row between officials of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and those of the Edo State Board of Internal Revenue over alleged tax default and scene was the Benin-City Airport last Tuesday.

After intrigues, controversies,accusations and counter accusations, the Independent National electoral Commission, INEC, on Wednesday, announced the registration of the All Progressive Congress, APC, as one of the political parties in the country.

He was born Lawrence Nomanyagbon Anini; but he re-christened himself ANINI THE LAW. He sent fears and chills down the spine of many a Nigerian – particularly residents of Benin city in the old Bendel State!

For Prince Amen Oyakhire, a former military administrator of Taraba and Oyo states, joining partisan politics after retiring as an Assistant Inspector General of Police was not an option. He speaks, in this interview, on the reasons he chose not to join politics, his views about military and civilian governors, the state of the nation, the roles he played in the arrest of notorious armed robber, Lawrence Anini, and his gang, among other issues

The power situation in Ogun State is not looking up,as businesses continue to collapse by the day. The few that manage to thrive virtualy feed on generators which increase production costs.

There is no doubt that achieving a robust energy mix in Nigeria is in concert with President Goodluck Jonathan’s vision of providing power to all within the country. This vision is an integral part of the long-term targets of the Road Map for the Power Sector launched by the President in August, 2010

Public power supply in Imo State can be described as anything but stable. So the reality is that a good number of consumers no longer rely on the services of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, to meet their electricity needs.

In the heat of the power sector reform back in 2010, the masses thought their prayers for stable power supply had been answered. Their elation knew no bounds because, over the years, they had been used to a culture of darkeness for weeks and sometimes months – with astronomical bills coming their way by the dozen.

FOR quite sometime, the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) has not been living up to the expectations of Yobe State residents in particular and the nation in general.

INVESTORS who missed out on the telecoms licence regime in Nigeria now have another golden opportunity to invest in the next big sector on the African continent – the Nigerian Power Sector – with huge returns to make from generating electricity to a population in excess of 160 million people!

The Nigerian state is aggressively in search for peace, particularly in the North as peace has eroded most parts of the region. People and government appear inestimably confused on how to reassert sanity/ order in that milieu. Hence, protractions of violence especially in the last 13 years of civil rule. 

In the run up to the November 16, 2013 governorship election in Anambra State, virtually all the political parties and aspirants seem yet to find their rhythm. The election holds barely 90 days away to elect Gov Peter Obi’s successor.

It’s a bump that nobody expected to erupt so soon. But it descended like a volcano on the landscape all the same. The torrents flowing from the ill-feelings of the men have tended to disfigure the political landscape, which has been under the firm grip of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP., for the past 14 years.

So, what do Nigerians think of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and its message to day? Ask its leader, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan! He can speak for the party. Or, better still, ask the owners of the party!
