OVER the years, human society has transformed both in civilization, information and physical development. To that extent, it has become incumbent on the people to evolve a system of government and administration that could tap the various opportunities offered by the transformation of the society to enhance growth, peace and progress.

Over the last eight months, I have watched with keen interest how opposition political parties and some notable Nigerians have criticised President Goodluck Jonathan and his administration.

AS an indigene of Kebbi State, I feel thoroughly embarrassed by the current needless and ridiculous controversy over the nomination of retired Brigadier-General Bitrus Boka Ushe for a ministerial appointment by President Goodluck Jonathan.

HAVING defined the brand Jonathan that he desires,he should go ahead and make it happen because neither the media nor the opposition will do it for him.

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan has publicly declared that he is the most criticized president in the world. Presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati, followed up with the well-circulated attack on the critics of his principal, especially the ones using the social media such as Facebook and Twitter.

Even before the recent announcement by the Abia State governor, Chief Theodore Orji that 1,800 houses built on sewer lanes in Aba would be demolished to pave way for easy de-flooding and proper drainage in the commercial city, residents of the city and visitors had clamoured that such action be taken.

BEFORE this year, the road block was the main plank of police response to security enforcement challenges in this nation.

REUBEN ABATI, President Goodluck Jonathan’s spokesman’s piece titled, “The Jonathan They don’t Know” syndicated in both national and online media platforms last week made incisive and interesting reading.

Some sections of the Nigerian public in recent times have shown intense interest in the structure and personnel composition of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and on-going effort by the Commission to shape up for optimum discharge of its mandate.

THE Comrade-Governor was, several weeks ago, returned for a second term by the good, united people of Edo State.

Sixty years ago Frantz Fanon (1925 – 1961) made a profound statement with the publication of Black Skin, White Masks.

CONTROVERSY has continued to trail the ruling of an Abuja High Court, over whether the Federal Capital Territory Authority, FCTA, has the right to demolish illegal structures in the Mpape district of Abuja. While the FCT insists that the court upheld its right, the residents claim that the court did not.

The phenomenal transformation of Ohiya, the sleepy community spangled in a hill and valley got me dusting my history books to see if I could find such growth equivalent.

THERE is no gainsaying that 2015 could be a defining moment in Nigeria’s political history going by prevailing political events in the country.

THE Civil Service may not be paying a fantastic and competitive remuneration, however, job security, retirement benefits, as well as access to power and pecks of office for top-echelons during the peak of their careers are perhaps some of the incentives that have made it a preferred career path for many above employment in the organised private sector.
