Deji No More The Sole Amanyanabo Of Akure

They have figured it out that it is better to safely divide up Akure at a time the preeminent Amanyanabo and owner of Akure, the Deji's throne is vacant, and the Regent and the Akure Council of Chiefs don't see eye-to-eye...

The Nigerian National Anthem And Flag

As long as the basic problems in Nigeria are not addressed, I see no compelling reason for any rational and well-meaning Nigerian leader to be taking our people on a wild goose chase to Space. What of simple things like educating our people and children to appreciate the symbolism of our National Anthem and National Flag?

The Samuel Ajayi Crowther of Akure and Isarun

Okonjo-Iweala For President In 2007

Obasanjo is clearly an enigmatic leader. If you are judging him by his persona or sheer lack of Charisma, you could easily write him off as an imbecile of sorts, but behind that demeanor, is a very solid achiever with the proverbial belly as deep as the borehole. Obasanjo is a master planner and tactician who knows his goal and how to always get there. He may well have seen Mrs. Okonjo Iweala as a potential presidential material...

Identical words with totally different meanings and effect in dialectics or languages around the world may be telling us something about our common heritage…

Buying a House in America: When Lenders Compete, Home Buyers Win?
