Largely regarded as the first in the line of “ember” months, September ushers in the last quarter of the year. Despite the heavy downpours and waterlogged thoroughfares, we at Jumia Travel are super excited to welcome the month as it not only heralds a chain of festivals, shows and celebrations as well as offer a prime opportunity to pack up and plan a getaway, but it is also the perfect time to opt for a life-changing experience.

ON Monday, August 8, 2016, we were told that the Federal Government had revived the War Against Indiscipline, WAI, a priority programme of Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s 1984/85 military regime. It was under the control of the late Major General Tunde Idiagbon, his Deputy (Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters).

IF the truth must be told, Nigeria today is on the edge of a precipice – with its economy hanging perilously on the balance. The situation is so precarious that President Muhammadu Buhari will be seeking Emergency Powers to tackle the economy as soon as the National Assembly resumes from its vacation on September 12, 2016.

THERE is indeed no doubt that the way the nation’s electoral agency, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is handling the Rivers State rerun poll gives cause to worry. Many Nigerians and commentators have condemned the umpire’s attitude towards the poll, especially its continued postponement when the State is peaceful. It will be recalled that […]

Nigeria’s pioneering millionaire, Candido Da Rocha of Water House, Kakawa Street, Lagos is a prime example. He made his money from selling “clean, clear” water from his borehole and the first water fountain on Lagos Island.

One major nagging headache besetting the people of Okwagbe community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State is the deplorable state of the roads there.

Edo State is reputed to be the heart beat of the nation and very influential in national politics. I do not know how to categorise it now, but after the Ogbemudia administrative era, successive military administrations so messed up the place that criminal elements, including the Aninis of this world, held sway for some time.

Last year, when you assumed office, the chant of “Change,” your campaign slogan, ushered you into the Presidential Villa. Today, cries of “hunger” could be heard across the length and breadth of our vast country.

Let me start this piece by asking my readers to perform an exercise that may give an explanation for why our economy is the way it is today.

THE submission of the former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, GCON on the restructuring of the Nigerian Political system is very instructive.

Last year, when you assumed office, the chant of “Change”, your campaign slogan, ushered you into the Presidential Villa. Today, cries of “hunger” could be heard across the length and breadth of our vast country. Nigerians hunger, not only for food, but also for good leadership, for peace, security and justice. This letter is to appeal to you to do something fast, and, if you are already doing something, to redouble your effort.

It is a season of the absurd. Nigeria is hemorrhaging uncontrollably, left for too long to bleed and now in near-comatose situation. Truly, she is in dire need of urgent attention as she suffers from economic asphyxiation on the treatment table while she is abandoned to writhe in avoidable pain. Suddenly, it seems her doctors are just realizing exactly how bad the situation is and they are now very desperate to do everything to save her, or so it seems, from total shut-down.

The butchers from the north are better known as the Fulani militants and herdsmen. They have unleashed horror and levied war against the people of Nigeria over the last one year.

On the 27th of August, Delta State would be celebrating her 25th Anniversary. The attainment of self-governance within the federation of Nigeria by Deltans did not come cheaply. Traditional rulers, intelligentsia, community and religious leaders both at home and abroad among others were at the forefront of the vanguard for the realization of the age long dream.
