A recent essay that appeared in some online news media titled “Femi Fani-Kayode and the Laughter of Biafra” purportedly written by one Emmanuel Uchenna Ugwu, was obviously written before the brain was engaged as it generously manifested the uncontrolled masturbatory ejaculation of a writer who gave himself away as one of the famed dogs and baboons of Buhari and Tinubu.

Every well-informed Nigerian living in the country since the second coming of the military in December 1983 knows that very little investment was made in the power sector until the Olusegun Obasanjo administration came on board on May 29, 1999. For many, this is a misconception. Another misconception was the one peddled by the late political orator and former Minister of Power, and later Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, that the sector could be fixed within six months.

Do not be deceived, every Igbo man is a Biafran, irrespective of where he was born and grew up on this earth, whether he fought and witnessed the Nigerian civil war or not.

IN an era that is witnessing the resurgence of Ebola and other contagious haemorrhagic viral diseases, having access to running water may well be considered a national security issue. Adequate water supply is a problem that faces most of us daily, almost regardless of income bracket. If you live in a rural area, you probably have to go and fetch water from a well, stream or river.

It was Albert Einstein that said “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it”.

I am saddened that the former Governor of Kano state, Senator Rabiu Kwakwanso, a man whom I have always considered a friend and one whom I have always respected could insult our revered Yoruba elders.
