By Dennis Agbo Governor Martin Elechi of Ebonyi  State is  not sleeping well. His sleep is murdered by his ambition to stay in office beyond 2011  when he hopes to be re-elected for a second term in office. Ordinarily, the governor  should be having a  good sleep, given the fact that, as one of the […]

Sometimes around 2006 and 2007,1 was browsing the Internet when I came across a document suggesting that the think-tank in Europe were planning on how they can build and supply small nuclear reactors for the generation of electricity to developing countries. They will also be supplying the nuclear fuel (some kind of processed Uranium used (bed the nuclear reactors) to those developing countries.

In one breadth, it was discovered that part of the reason why students and some lecturers called for the removal of the institution’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Lateef Akanni Hussain, was to cover up heaps of shady acts perpetrated before the VC took over the mantle of leadership at LASU.

Going through the Vanguard publication of Friday the 18th of December I came across a piece credited to one Jimmy Elekuku dedicated to Chief Tom Ikimi.

The key to fighting graft in Africa does not lie in fresh legislation or new institutions … Most African states already have the gamut of tools required to do the job

“ The Bible says we should pray for all those in authority. This is so that they will guide us aright. If out of grudge and malice we refuse to pray for them, a good sense of judgement will elude them, and they will begin to fumble and stagger in the dark, and their mis-rule will plunge the entire country into darkness.

She immediately took charge and told the world that Abdulmatallab’s father had as a matter of fact reported the uncomfortable behaviour of his son to the US Embassy in Abuja as well as to the Nigerian security agencies.
