October 5 is set aside to celebrate teachers across the world. World Teachers’ Day is iconic. It cuts national and regional boundaries. Unfortunately, for...
It has been more than 80 days after terrorists in the guise of Islamists kidnapped over 200 school girls in Chibok Nigeria. And it goes without saying that the unprecedented outcry from the rest of the world over the incident has also put tremendous pressure on the Nigerian government to rescue the girls...
One of the things that I cannot do as a discourse analyst involved with public issues and policies is to focus unnecessarily on personalities or personal attributes of prominent people or their failings...
I once bought fish in Portharcourt with distended stomach filled with crude oil. My friend, Green Douglas, who had a thriving farm of cassava, yams and other agricultural products, now queues up to be given contracts to clear weeds!
For me, one of the most disconcerting facts about public discourse in Nigeria—including intellectual exchanges—is the rampant, if not default, deployment of ethnic or religious sentiments...
The sad events of the past couple of days - which were reportedly orchestrated by some disgruntled members of the Edo State House Of Assembly - paint a horrible spectacle of the miserable depths to which some politicians are willing to descend...
My impromptu trip to Nigeria was an experience that will continue to linger in my mind. The news of my mom in comatose made me very unsettled and agitated...

He was to give me N15 million of that every month. He reneged. Later it was reduced to N10 million, yet he did not give me..."
Each time I ruminate about happenings in both Nigeria and Kenya, as representatives of the continent of Africa, I become confoundedly worried. Situate the current political logjam in both countries and you begin to appreciate my standpoint...
Air crashes in Nigeria are like coming of age ceremonies, where the attendees air their closets, stride their wares, get immolated and conclude the lessons of the day by wrapping up and behaving like it never happened.

Sam Omatseye’s recent commentary on the Awolowo family - “Awo Family Without An Awo” - has generated quite a furor. Scores of Yoruba people have written letters to the Tribune editors and to online media outlets, castigating Omatseye for the supposed disrespect of the Awolowo family...
The Igbo have come out to state their support for Jonathan. The apex Igbo organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has officially endorsed Jonathan. They don’t have much option anyway. The other candidates have not endeared themselves to the Igbo...
