Niger Delta discourse: Dialogue without threat

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.

Dambazau and the challenges of internal security

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.

Where are the watchers?

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.

State govts and IGR challenge

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.

The change mantra

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.

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.

Should WAI be re-introduced?

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?

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!
