October 5 is set aside to celebrate teachers across the world. World Teachers’ Day is iconic. It cuts national and regional boundaries. Unfortunately, for...
Mbu told me that the then Lieutenant-Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu informed him that the military officers had investigated the bank accounts of the members of the Balewa government and only he was given a ‘clean bill of health’ i.e. he was free from the corruption virus...
It was as if Nigeria could not quite make up its mind about the significance of the life and politics of this complex, infuriatingly confounding figure called Ojukwu – until the man breathed his last...
Ohakim did not do any better during his reign in Imo State. This was not caused by Kalu, but by his gluttonous and ill-fated perceived approach to politics and governance...
Ibori's ordeal looks like a replay of the Bayelsa story told above. But it's more shameful since he successfully evaded the Nigerian legal system, slipped off EFCC, and was bold enough to seek his party's presidential ticket...
What exactly did the great Chief Obafemi Awolowo do to have gained such status even after death? Like any good administrator, he simply managed what he had and used it to provide the very much needed infrastructure for his western region of Nigeria...
Over the decades - and these are many decades - opportunities to progress, develop and turn Nigeria into one of the world’s most developed countries were, and are still being, frittered away and lost by clueless, insensitive, greedy, selfish, insidious, invidious, conscienceless and murderous rulers...
There is, indeed, no gainsaying the fact that the age-long aphorism, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail” becomes much relevant considering the observably untoward socio-economic realities cum apparent confusion in the workings of the leadership in Nigeria as of now...
I don’t know how many people see through the present effort by the PDP to finish off what is left of the judiciary after the scandalous manipulation that saw to the suspension of Justice Ayo Salami, in a desperate effort to stave off an impending inquest into the more-you-look-the-less you see electoral heist of April 2011...
The American Presidency to the extent that it represents the whole world ought not to be for sale in the interest of mankind because we all have a stake in America just as much as America has a stake in the rest of the world...
As I write this, just a few days to Christmas, Nigeria, the largest black nation on earth and the assumed African Giant is locked down by a conclave of crises, which to all intents and purposes, may take eon years to solve...
At a time when the suspicions and rumors are rife that the constitutional review process is part of a hidden agenda to ensure President Obasanjo remains in power after 2007, one would have thought the average rioter might want to be a part of public hearings or at least make keeping tabs on a process taking place right in Maiduguri city a priority...
The debt buyback gives Nigeria the deserved permanent sovereignty over its resources. Nigerians are now have more reasons not to tolerate excuses from the various tiers of government over the poor nature of the infrastructures in their various domains...
A simplistic view of America’s global policy is one which is driven primarily by national interest. A far less explored fact, however, is that a preoccupation with war occupies a rather subtle grey zone. Wars, while generally initiated in professed national interest, often get concluded or are directed at the behest of the commander-in-chief’s ego...
I couldn't think of any reason why Her Majesty the Queen would remember me, I made sure I paid my income and council taxes, I hadn't been in any fight with my neighbours, at least lately, neither have I been indicted by any UK or Nigerian constituted body for corruption or money laundering...
As we mark yet another June 12, there are some simple but important considerations that we, the people of Nigeria within and beyond the borders of the country need to continue to seriously make. Ordinarily, considerations and discussions about a Nigerian June 12 should be general and amongst citizens and scholars on civics and sovereignty of nations...
