The Nigerian government, in 2008, spent about 500 billion naira on security in the Niger Delta region. So far, in 2009, about the same amount has been spent – excluding the 300 billion that has been spent to bribe and pacify power-brokers and some sections of the Militant groups. What a dumb strategy!
The Nigerian health system, no thanks to the unfair advantage given to physicians by various governments and express access to press that doctors have more than other health professionals, majorly recognize and fraternize with doctors while pushing other playmakers to the background...
It is important to reproduce here that the great historian, Prof J F Ade Ajayi, debunked the theory and the belief that the British bombarded Lagos because it was a notorious “slave depot” in 1851 or annexed it in 1861 because “the permanent occupation of this important point in the Bight of Benin is indispensable to the complete suppression of the slave trade..."
I believe that the influence and discipline in the advanced democracy we live in, coupled with education, enlightenment and interactions with far sighted positive thinkers, should be enough to help bleach away the attitude problems of our people...
Some diplomatic observers informed me that when the Nigerian Foreign Minister, Chief Ojo Maduekwe, visited Washington, sometime ago, he was not received by the US Secretary of State, but by a lesser official.

I was working when the newsflash came announcing that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had declared in favor of Vice President Atiku Abubakar over his decampment to another party and his clinging to his position as VP. Unconsciously, I jumped up with joy...
What has Africa given to the world in terms of science and technology? What contribution have we made in the areas of philosophy, economics, political theory and political thought? And if the African continent was to disappear from the face of the earth, would the world miss us? Would the world notice our absence?
There is a broad alliance between culture, scholarship and imperial physics.Before the West begins their slave merchandise or colonial robbery, or invasion, they start with scholarly misrepresentation of the natives...
Are there similarities between Osoba and William the Conqueror, the King of England and Duke of Normandy? Is it the reputation of their tenacity or brutality...
In 2011, all Nigerians of goodwill with honest and upright intentions, regardless of their political affiliations or the candidate they support should seek the Lagos model and clamour for public debates with incumbents fully involved...
Hope rises out of Africa like fresh steam out of a piping hot bowl
of rice and stew. I rise to salute the courageous men and women that
toil in the private sector and actually flourish under conditions
that would be unacceptable in the West...
The prevailing cliché at the moment is the silly projection that Yar’ Adua will still rule this country for another 5 years. I have been tempted to see that dream as a dreadful, fabulous, sweeping illusion...
