The argument over the young trainee who addressed UBA chairman Tony Elumelu by his first name has become a surprisingly revealing debate...
The concept of aging has long been considered a biological certainty, as though an unavoidable countdown is inscribed within our very DNA. Yet, mounting...
So what have I discovered since I bought my house in Blogville? Nothing that I did not know already. I'm still heterosexual, I'm still sweet, I'm still not attracted to metrosexuals, I'm still a little bit of a clean freak, I'm still trying to experience romantic love in a romantic way...
"I get all carried away, let me tell you a little about myself. I'm pretty sure you have met my friends, and they have all described me as bubbly. Indeed, I am bubbly, but most times, I only appear to be bubbly. Austin proposed to me after we found out I was pregnant with our daughter, Ekanem. He claims that he would have proposed even if I wasn't pregnant; I know I only accepted his proposal because I was pregnant..."
Our world is a world of visible ambivalence, paradoxes and contradictions. Things don't always go smooth and rosy like we'd always expect them to...Yet, wise men of old knew that a world without opposites would be flavourless...

In Nigeria, the educational sector is similar to the flat wheel on which were sequential images of students going to school, studying for JAMB, NECO, WAEC and degree exams. When examinations were conducted, the students were “seen” to pass their exams. But in reality, the students do not pass...
Is it not bad enough that we have an apathetic government that is insensitive to our plights, why do we not learn to make life easy for ourselves? What we do to ourselves, as Nigerians, is disheartening. Why do we torture ourselves?
The “of the decade” idea in the whole show did not do the awards any good. Hence, right from the start the 2007 NMA had a peculiar line of criticism to contend with...
I was military president. I ruled as a dictator and what you must understand then was that I was accountable to myself and not to any House of Representatives or Senate. When you rule as a dictator, the wealth of a nation is considered spoils of war. Bob, what do you do with spoils of war?
The transport of dangerous goods within communities is increasing. The demands for improved efficiency and increased capacity often require use of dangerous processes and substances to boost production...
A Nigeria run by its least visionary and enlightened elements – men and women whose imagination is fixed on the size of their bank accounts – is in no shape to achieve the Millennium Development Goals...
