In defence of absurdities

By  Richard Tosanwumi NIGERIA, our country was frontally assaulted by two major events at the close of the year 2009, which have greatly dented the collective hegemony of the Nigerian people, and bruised their international ego and reckoning among the comity of nations. These events were the serious down-turn in the health of President Umaru […]

Nigeria- Quo Vadis

SEVERAL years ago, the Japanese government sent some bright students to Harvard not to acquire new knowledge but to associate with future political and business leaders of the United States. They could not be lured to stay on because all facilities in America were available to them in Japan.

Buying into Ngige’s argument

Purging LASU of perdition

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.
