Making better money decisions in 2027 (1)
This year is almost gone. By the time you read this article, there will be 51 days to the end of 2026 and the beginning of 2027.
Among other things, a new year, just like a new day, offers new opportunities to achieve something new and make progress.
Imperative of Jonathan’s presidency
IN a recent discussion, a concerned Nigerian harped on the results of the concluded National Assembly (NASS) elections, expressing confidence in the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) and stating that Nigeria can restore her values and preserve her unity if the voting pattern is sustained.
Goodluck and the Nigerian Capital Market
NEITHER in the NN24 debate attended by the three closest challengers to President Goodluck Jonathan in Saturday’s presidential elections, nor in the other debate attended solely by President Jonathan, was a serious issue with perhaps far greater capacity to affect the fortunes of the economy and hence the citizen’s well-being, ever raised.

The ACN controls four states via judicial activism and a large chunk of the membership of the National and state assemblies. It also controls a fair share of the local governments in the country.

Voting a truly democratic govt
IN a true democratic society, it is essential to ensure a government that follows the will of the people and not the one that force the people to follow it, that is, a “government of the people, by the people, and for the people” as said by Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg address which lasted a little over two minutes on November, 19, 1863.
