PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari, like every other leader, has a style of governance that is peculiar, and this style is admired by some, while others loathed it. It is the style of talking to Nigerians about national burning issues, more when he travels out of the country than when he is in the country.

SINCE the eruption of the murderous attacks of the terrorist Boko Haram insurgents in North East Nigeria in 2009, internal security has become a major challenge in the most populous African nation, Nigeria.

Abaddon, the prince of destruction hovers over our nation. Magog, the prince of war marches towards our shores. Asmodeus, the prince of suffering and death beats his drums over our country.

IT is said that the biggest challenge confronting mankind is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of everything including the fear of not making heaven. So, we stay stuck to our comfort zones, while countries that have dared the unknown are in the Moon, Mars and other galaxies. In this age of information, Nigeria cannot afford a home made mechanised farming equipment despite the over abundance of professors and variegated learned men.

Not too long ago, on March 17, 2009, to be precise, Nigerians were roused to a blistering campaign on attitudinal change. Its passcode was: Nigeria, Good People, Great Nation. And it was from the fertile ideas factory of the then Minister of Information and Communications, the late Prof Dora Akunyili. May God rest her beautiful soul.

Suddenly sentiments are riotous in the Niger Delta: deploy the military and don’t deploy the military; declare a republic and don’t you dare deploy the military; we are the authentic mediator and you are not the authentic mediator. Since the Niger Delta Avengers and a handful other militants groups emerged to ‘make the country ungovernable’ for President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, the region seems to be in more confusion

HIS Royal Majesty, Major Lucky Meshack Erebulu (Rtd.) JP, Pere of Kabowei Kingdom Aduo II, in Delta and Bayelsa States, was born July 21, 1941, in Okruware Community in Patani in the present Patani LGA, of Delta State, to the families of Douglas Erebulu of Okruware Community in Patani town and Madam Okozumonu Erebulu (nee Pighi of Abazi inTrofani Quarters in the present day Sagbama Local Government area of Bayelsa State.)

RECENTLY, I listened to a radio commentary on the relevance or otherwise of the intention of the Federal Government to bring back the no-nonsense security apparatus known as the War Against Indiscipline,WAI. Since the announcement of the re-introduction was made, many Nigerians have been reacting to the moves either positively or otherwise. But the question is : Do we really need the WAI Brigade?

This a true story of the power of Technology to discover and improve life. Sounds like Tale of the unexpected but it’s a true life story. An incredible story of pain, tears, joy and rewarding smile! It seems to replicate the philosophy of life as a W/hole – out of which we all emerged running, as the door opens into the world of light, from the dark side of life with a loud cry, followed by a precious smile – some nanoseconds after! After 33 Years of disconnected family roots Information adventure and mental tortu Douweny was finally connected by Google and united with his ancestral roots – an investment of about 5-7 years of painstakingly probing of the global Internet Search Engine – Google, changing his life forever!

Security of data is better integrated into your system than just being a routine carried out by a personnel; this point is usually ingrained with this analogy “endpoint security is like butter and bread, its better baked in and not just brushed on”.

In ancient biblical times, the populace of the City of Babel decided they were invincible, indestructible, immortal and omnipotent… all culminating into masochist ego and arrogance at its peak! So they decided to build a monument to themselves that would reach the heavens, to let God know there was competition! What gumption! What audacity? And God responded by sowing confusion in their midst.

The sterling performance of outgoing Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko in the last seven and a half years remains a cynosure of all eyes. This political enigma painstakingly put his feat on the strength that the state must be compassionate to the poorest and weakest in the society and must provide the highest quality of […]

The time has come for all true ministers of the gospel and pious Christians of all denominations to rise up and express displeasure over the contempt and public ridicule one Femi Aribisala has subjected Apostle Paul and the scriptures to, on pages of newspapers. It should be pointed out to Aribisala and any other Christian that our call to enlist into the Lord’s armies does not include a mandate to vet the Bible. To assume such responsibility is to play God. This is mischievous, condemnable and unacceptable.

The other day I posted a copy of the now famous picture of President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart President Vladimir Putin where they both coldly looked into one another’s eyes without the trace of a smile.

There have been interesting arguments over Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun’s observation that “recession is just a word”, and NAN MD, Bayo Onanuga claiming that reports of hardship in the land is exaggerated propaganda. I think we need to break down the subject further from a layman’s perspective. Recession is a word, no doubt, but it is more than a word, it is an experience: the experience that the majority of Nigerians is going through. If you are at a significant remove from that experience, it may be difficult to know how it feels, and if you are an economist, you are likely to be conveniently obsessed with textbook ideas.
