At the risk of sounding pessimistic, one could argue profoundly that Nigeria’s contemporary political atmosphere carries a systemic, tragic potential. This vulnerability is directly...
In the race to build a secure, efficient and inclusive financial ecosystem for Nigerians globally, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in collaboration with...
There are no known studies or data set to enable one make a definite pronouncement on the issue of Nigerians who go abroad to give birth or those who go overseas to seek medical care - only to die in transit or die in foreign hospitals...
A woman who cannot buy even a pant and a bra on her own back home in Nigeria has been brought to America. She don open eye as my Warri people will say. She has now moved from one extreme state to another – a once innocent lady has now grown wings all of a sudden. A lipstick has now been put on a pig...
What I am about to say here, I know, will annoy so many of our women. Some will like me but some will hate me. Nevertheless, I love our women and therefore, my only intention here is to inform and educate, period...
The Nigerian brilliant Quadruplets, Tayo, Tobi, Tosin, Tolu and their extra-ordinary Mother, Julianah Balogun-Oke, played host to Champions for Nigeria on the 20th September, 2008...
Everything the mouth nibbles here turns to bread, every meal, snack, or bite has an element of bread. My sad verdict is that man should not live by bread alone even though when I see so many students carrying around sandwiches...
Many Nigerians have criticized the modus operandi of the WIC, and justifiably so, branding it a jamboree and calling for an end to it. I make haste to associate myself with them...
A prince, who left home and settled elsewhere. Funny how so many princes always leave home to settle elsewhere. Too much infighting maybe? Or possibly shrinking resources faced with escalating demand - something has to give, and more often than not, it has to be a mortal. Since no one can be immortal except in loving memory...
Seventeen UK newspapers and five television stations carried the news of one Mrs Julianah Balogun-Oke, a Nigerian single mother in London whose quadruplets had all been admitted to various Ivy League universities in the UK…
Nigeria and the rest of Africa should quit begging for crumbs from the West and begin to canvass for a change in the WTO agreements that leave the continent vulnerable to poachers of its indigenous knowledge. Clearly the drum beat must change so that the dance steps would change with it...
I had the rare honor and luck of being close to the revered Achebe for some thirty years. In that time, he was an inspiration, model, beacon of moral clarity and intellectual integrity as well as my teacher in the best, broadest sense of that word...
Some of our Nigerian politicians and leaders are so mad that that they keep their loot in their houses; some of them even bury cash in graves; while some of them just go on buying every property and business in sight, despite the fact that they can only sleep in one room at a time...
Last week, our conclusion as citizens and students of politics was that the most fascinating political formation in the country at the moment is the newly formed All Peoples Congress...
Obasanjo and Babangida are birds of the same bloody feathers. They are both rogues in power, or as the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti sang, Vagabonds In Power, and I am not mincing my words, though I know, according to our traditions and culture, we should respect our elders/leaders. But elders must also respect their juniors too. Leaders must learn to follow too...
I saw energetic young immigration officers looking smart and sharp in their starched khaki uniforms. It was almost as if they were on a mission to restore the pride and glory of uniformed men in Nigeria...
It can be somewhat of a challenge living in western societies as an African. The media is often filled with stories that stereotype our continent as one filled with corruption, ethnic strife and violence. The occasional flicker of good governance is celebrated as a rare outlier of hope from an otherwise hopeless continent... - By Chikwe Ihekweazu and Ike Anya
Just when you thought it is safe to come out of the woods and support our politicians, especially after a very flawed election full of massive riggings, mayhem and death, there comes our daft, clueless, insensitive political class who called themselves Senators, electing a dubious, to put it mildly, Senate President...
What Winterbottom and the ignorant Europeans in Arrow of God do to Ezeulu is exactly what some of Soyinka’s Igbo admirers online are doing to him! What part of Arrow of God have they not read? What on earth do they imagine Achebe is saying about the production of otherness?
