How noise is becoming an environmental threat in Lagos

By Divine grace Onosetale  Lagos was never quiet. But there is a difference between the sound of a city and noise that begins to interfere with everyday life. From the blast of horns in Oshodi to the endless hum of generators in different parts of the state; from loudspeakers at markets and religious centres to […]

The power of google: Connecting and changing  lives

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!

Improving your organisation’s network security

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”.

PDP: A Tower of Babel?

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.

Sustaining Mimiko’s giant strides

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 […]

Femi Aribisala, you can’t rewrite the Bible

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.

Face-off in China

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.

The true meaning of recession – Reuben Abati

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.

Recession is not Armageddon – Femi Adesina

Leading countries of the world had fallen into economic recession at one time or the other, and they came out of it, to become strong and sturdy again. Why not Nigeria? The projection is that by the end of the fourth quarter, we would be on our way out of recession. I believe it. I do not spend my days expecting a thunderstorm, and render myself unable to enjoy the rain. “After ye have suffered a while…” Better days will come again, and under this Buhari administration.

In defence of the AGF Abubakar Malami

THE common saying that “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown” seems to be the lot of Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami. A man with genteel disposition and one that is not enamoured by the attractions of high office, Mr. Malami, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria has been in the saddle for less than two years, but his fight against graft in public offices is already having a backlash on his person and reputation.

Between Speaker Dogara, Governor Abubakar and Bauchi people

I RECENTLY read comments credited to the Governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar, that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara is leading other federal lawmakers to wage a political battle against him because he was not in support of the latter’s emergence as Speaker.

Oshiomhole’s allegations against Iredia

Right of reply DURING  the campaigns for the 2015 presidential elections in Nigeria, the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, used state institutions, especially the media, to carry out extensive campaign of calumny against its opponents of the All Progressive Congress,APC. This shifted public sympathies to the latter. In the last few weeks  of  electioneering […]

APC as a mistake Edo State must not make

September 10, 2016, is epochal in the history of the great Edo State. It is a date when life beckons on the people to embark on a game-changing and life-amending venture; a time when the people are called out by the Benevolent, the God of second chance, to right the wrong they elevated to a position of authority and immense responsibility eight years ago.
