The problems facing Nigeria today are basically caused by square pegs being placed in round holes

I REMEMBER vividly the ugly  experiences I had in the early 1980s at Ninth Mile Corner as a growing child travelling and returning from Enugu, where I usually spent my holidays at my uncle’s house. I usually would encounter heavy traffic snarl within the Ninth Mile axis of the Ninth Mile-Oturkpo road that linked Enugu and Benue states. For this reason, my parents had always warned me not to travel or return from Enugu late in the evening, if I don’t want to sleep at Ninth Mile.

Have you ever bought oranges, mangoes, bananas, plantain and some other agricultural produce and wondered about their taste? Were they plucked before maturity?

THE choice of former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, as the vice- presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has been greeted with widespread optimism among Nigerians of various standings.

I ceased taking Pastor Tunde Bakare seriously ever since he lied against the Holy Ghost by prophesying (wrongly) that “Let me tell you the truth by the spirit of God, neither OBJ, Atiku, IBB and this tall one, Buhari are part of the new. They are part of the old that is decaying. That old one is passing away. The new is emerging and these ones are not part of that new.”
