October 5 is set aside to celebrate teachers across the world. World Teachers’ Day is iconic. It cuts national and regional boundaries. Unfortunately, for...
If your quest and journey is to know the real problems with Nigeria, then this post is for you. And if, on the other hand, you are truly concerned about Nigeria, then this post is also for you...
Give a Nigerian an inch, and they will take a foot; give them a foot and they will take a yard…that is us. Your mechanic will always try to take advantage of you, as would your carpenter, tailor, painter, bus-driver, taxi driver, vulcaniser, bricklayer and plumber, butcher, petrol attendant, not to talk of the market-woman. Even your lecturer in the university.
It was in the days of our fathers that love of a brother was supreme. Hardly these days, because the bond that once held families together has been pierced by the unknown enemy...
The eyes with which I see the world, which makes me approachable or amiable or dignified or capable is not Nigerian. I get that from my vicinity. From that view, we can be better friends than we currently are...
Truly, the counsel of Scripture meets with the witness of history to reveal the deadly satanic worship of Easter that Romanism has, with a mask, foisted on the unsuspecting and or seduced segment of the 'church' over these many centuries...
It was sad to note that gunmen attacked Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu recently, at his hometown of Igbere, Abia State. They showed their shameful act by shooting sporadically at a bus being piloted by one of his aides. Did they think that Kalu was on the bus?
In Igbo, we say that a child erroneously calls a male friend of his or her mother the concubine, forgetting that not all male friends to a woman are her concubine, and not all female friends to a man are his mistress...
Perhaps, the most strategic, visionary and fore-sighted political move from the South East in recent times is the decision of the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, to join forces with other progressive Nigerians to form the All Progressives Congress...
I am baffled by the constant dialogue among Nigerians in America about “foreign women” who reject Nigeria. Many Nigerian-American men and their families have cast American women as snobbish of third-world living and disdainful of Nigeria...
Is it not safe therefore, gentlemen and ladies, for one to consciously conclude that the whites are indeed more superior than blacks in terms of reasoning power and general comportment?
Unless a powerful cartel in the top echelon of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria is retrenched, the perennial power crisis facing the country will persist...
With the unsettling, rife social tensions resulting from biting poverty, youth unemployment, hunger, inflation, power failure, insecurity of lives and property and social dislocations across the land, the Federal Government urgently needs to dialogue with the ASUU leadership...
"Rosie, my dear, I just want you to settle down. All your younger cousins are married; your little sister Patricia just did her igba-nkwu. What worries me is that you don't even seem to be trying..."
It was Carl Sagan who said that we have arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces...
Bankole appears to be an expert in matters of pugilism. Last June, he presided over a session of the House that degenerated into an all-out brawl. That shoving, clawing, knuckle-throwing and clothe-tearing spectacle has since become a top draw on youtube...
Last week, some contenders for the 2011 Presidential Elections took various bold steps toward the actualization of their closet desires. These steps were characterized with strong underlying political indications, thoughtful strategies, and technically sound counterstrikes...
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..."
