October 5 is set aside to celebrate teachers across the world. World Teachers’ Day is iconic. It cuts national and regional boundaries. Unfortunately, for...
In Port Harcourt, as I’m writing this piece, the nightmarish traffic congestion is no more. In almost all parts of the city, there is no more regular load shedding, loss of underground water level, severe environmental pollution, over-flooding of storm drainage, no more lack of adequate open space and play areas...
We just want to bring to your attention something much worse than the Lagos-Shagamu-Ore-Benin road or the Serengeti. You won’t believe it but the place I am talking about is nowhere else than Nigeria’s so-called capital city, Abuja...
A government that entertains directives, unsolicited advice from foreign governments and individuals creates the impression that it is weak and compromising. Nigerians do not go out of their way to meddle in the internal political affairs of other states...

By the judgment of the Court of Appeal, sitting in Benin City, in respect of the appeal from the Edo State election petition tribunal judgment that lied with it, the Judiciary has once again demonstrated that it is the custodian of the nation’s nascent democracy and the last bastion of the people’s rights...

Nigeria was last week gripped with the confusing puzzle over the state of health of President Umaru Musa Yar' Adua. The palpable confusion over the Mr. President's health was widely reported by the media...
