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...
A good many thoroughbred professionals who have carved aniche for themselves in the US have become nostalgic and are actually considering coming back home to Nigeria permanently to carve another niche for themselves. They have been brainwashed that Nigeria is an Eldorado and that we are now an investor's delight...
For some of us that didn't witness the real African beauty in our women long before Fashion Fair and Mac Cosmetics took over, we are comforted by the stories and pictures of our women praised in songs...
My friend would love to go live in the US too. He has played visa lottery since inception, has attempted serendipity, has made SOS calls, and now all he has in the American dream from his brothers are mere promises, promises and nothing but promises…
After nearly 50 years in relative isolation from the family, I am now forced by the death of a second parent to revisit the people defined as my family by blood ties...

Nigeria has 4 fully functional refineries as at 1988 built by the Military regimes with a total capacity of 450,000 barrels per day production. Bearing in mind that our daily local consumption is estimated at 300,000 bpd. If the refineries were to be fully or 70-80% functional, there should be no problem with fuel availability or pricing in Nigeria...
Today, Nigeria is in a hell of crisis. It's on a debt-based life-support. Over half of its employable workforce is unemployed. The accompanying social dislocations are increasingly beyond its carrying capacity...
Economists are often, occasionally unfairly, ridiculed as people who are good at theory but struggle when faced with the challenges of the real world as currently being witnessed globally. In times of economic prosperity, this isn’t a major problem, but when times are as bad as they are now, policy makers and politicians have to sit up and listen...
It is such a pity when one reads about blatant betrayals of Nigerians by the members of the political class and their supporters. You hear of huge monies stolen, ballot boxes hijacked, billions of unremitted funds, and then no one is held accountable or made to feel guilty for the obnoxious acts...
I knew this powerful woman through e-mail correspondence and later, we connected on Facebook. She is a woman of substance, and a Christian who attends church...
