October 5 is set aside to celebrate teachers across the world. World Teachers’ Day is iconic. It cuts national and regional boundaries. Unfortunately, for...
Last Saturday, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan addressed Nigerians for the second time in as many weeks. This time, he attempted a multi-pronged defense of his decision to remove fuel subsidy. It was a woeful failure...
Over the last few days, Nigeria has found herself in a very unique conundrum, a situation that calls for reflections especially on the part of the Nigerian leadership...
As an outsider, I do not know when the subsidy began but my own understanding of the issue takes off from the Babangida/Abacha regimes. I think things took a decidedly murkier turn during Abacha’s upside-down rule when, the refineries – by omission and by commission – fell into a state of severe neglect and under-performance...
The presentation by Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala as statistically, graphically impressive and persuasive, as it was, seemed unauthentic. At the risk of stating that her position of now championing removal of subsidy comes across as dubious, is it improper to ask why she did not trumpet a need to remove subsidies when she occupied the same office under Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo?
It is becoming increasingly and unbearably painful to read now on a regular basis, the bombings taking place in Nigeria and the attendant wanton and unnecessary loss of life. It is even more painful when these bombings appear completely unchecked in anyway...

Aba is a phenomenal city, one of the most popular in contemporary Nigeria. But the quality of life the average Aba resident is subjected to due to the crass dereliction of duty exemplified by the present government of Governor Orji Uzor Kalu is worrisome...
Not all lessons of life are transmitted within the walls of a classroom. The lessons that so much matter are those that are learnt in classrooms without walls...
The moment of my departure to America, "land of milk and honey" was at hand. Instead of basking in the sun of jubilation, my grandmother was wallowing in tears. She shook her head with regret and announced, "You will never see me again..."
We concede that there is need for urgent reform activity to restore the waning public confidence in the administration of justice as well as address new vistas of challenges, change and opportunities for the judiciary in the new democratic order...
Any agitation by South Easterners about the elevation of Okiro will be tantamount to the Igbos of the South South, and particularly Egbema folks of both divide crying foul of Ohaneze Ndigbo...
President Jonathan made an audacious move with the reconstitution of National Economic Management Team, essentially to engage in finding solutions to economic mishaps in the country...
Christmas is celebrated on December 25th each year. It has been taken as a consecrated fiesta of Christians, no matter that history shows the celebration as archetypical of the ancient traditions of the worshippers of Sun God...
