Irrespective of what you think of the man Jonathan, one has to admit that he is indeed a lucky man. Who gets to be Governor, Vice President and now President by an unquestionable streak of luck?
Last Saturday, voters in Anambra State came out in impressive numbers to elect a governor. The stakes were extremely high, and the obstacles formidable, but the people of Anambra did themselves great credit...
Power is everything. Without it, we revert to living like the Neolithic and the Neanderthal, stone age people who eked a living hitting rocks against each other to produce weak fires to roast a cob of maize for dinner...
Damn our "leaders" if they like it, damn them if they don't. The people have spoken. Enough of power vacuum, near constitutional crisis and over heating of the polity all due to the fact that the ruling party does not trust the Vice President...
For weeks now, the Nigerian media has been agog with vexatious outburst by some of those who brought Nigeria to where we are. Political malcontents of all hues and colours have made insipid statements about the state of the nation they ran aground...

What is really going on in Nigeria for God's sake?! Is this the useless giant of Africa that we all make noise or brag about? A giant of Africa that has zero influence and whose president is not even capable of doing very simple things like inviting his colleagues from neighbouring countries to Abuja, the capital of his country...
The government of the United States took over the mantle of oppression and subjugation of Haitians from where the French stopped. The plight of Haitians has followed a pattern ever since...
My friend would love to go live in the US too. He has played visa lottery since inception, has attempted serendipity, has made SOS calls, and now all he has in the American dream from his brothers are mere promises, promises and nothing but promises…
