October 5 is set aside to celebrate teachers across the world. World Teachers’ Day is iconic. It cuts national and regional boundaries. Unfortunately, for...
At the age of twelve, Achebe moved away from his family to the village of Nekede, four kilometres from Owerri. He enrolled as a student at the Central School, where his older brother John taught. In Nekede, Achebe gained an appreciation for Mbari, a traditional art form...
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...
As one of my friends will say, the greatest affliction is a self-chosen blindness just because it cannot be cured unless the person so afflicted decides to free himself from the type of self denial that visited him with such affliction...
Imo PDP, that rustic club of free loaders, is angry. The members are weeping and gnashing their teeth. They are swearing and cursing. Chei, they want the good old days badly. They want a recreation of the free meal era and they will pay anything to have that era back...

I think that the moment we move away from discussing our social, economic and political issues and get into attacking personalities, that we will no longer be any different from those we have so conveniently blamed for our problems in Nigeria...
Some of Nigeria's opposition political parties are just jokers. They are simply playing a game of the-more-you-look-the-less-you-see with Nigerians. The whole equation and logic behind their choice of presidential candidates and running mates just doesn't make sense...
The docility of Nigerians to the affairs of this country and the President continued absence explains why information managers in Abuja can continue to spin webs upon webs of lies to cover up what should be in the public domain...
Before the rapture, there is a way believers should live! Faith of our fathers is living still, no matter how men and ‘ministers’ wrest the scriptures. Jesus is coming very soon for His Church...
