In spite of the nation’s vast pool of human resources both at home and abroad, all we could come up with for President was a nice, smooth gentleman who, unfortunately, happened to be very sickly and psychologically overwhelmed by the tasks at hand...
It is really ironic that a government that has the vision of making Nigeria one of the 20 biggest economies in the world by the year 2020 has adamantly refused to fuel the engine of rapid economic development - education.
Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev, the twosome who rule two of the formerly greatest nations on the face of this planet are two of a kind. Both are lawyers, both are in their early forties, and both have told the world that they are unwilling to re-open the old wounds that capitalism and communism unleashed on post World War II affairs...
Let us call a spade a spade and hit the nail on the head: Islam or Sharia is not the cause of this militancy in the north, or for that matter in the Niger delta or anywhere else it may happen in Nigeria; the fundamental causative agents are failure of political leadership and corruption and underlying issues of poverty, unemployment and education...
No government past and present has surpassed the administration of LKJ in the provision of the mass housing that has accommodated Nigerians from different parts of the country. However, the enduring legacy of the popular “Jakande Estates” has become a sorry state...
In conspiracy rife Nigeria, all manner of rumours and apocryphal stories have alleged that Nzeogwu was murdered in a Machiavellian plot engineered by Ojukwu to eliminate him or perhaps that he was killed while trying to defect to join the federal army. As always, the truth is much more mundane...

At the bottom of the crisis in Darfur is famine and devastation. The sooner the region is placed on the path of sustained development, the sooner the parties would see the good in peace...
With due respect sir, you do not have to be in Aso Rock to make a difference that you failed to make after eight solid years in power. If anything, your conformation of interest to rule the country again is heating up the polity...
One of the things that I cannot do as a discourse analyst involved with public issues and policies is to focus unnecessarily on personalities or personal attributes of prominent people or their failings...
Nigeria is in a delicate trajectory point but has not reached what physicist calls an "Escape velocity" which literally means a point of no return. Not yet! Nigeria can be salvaged, even made whole again when patriots and lovers of stability vow to restore the country to her lost glory of 1970s and early 80s...
Sierra Leoneans are satisfied that their number one enemy has been arrested and like all those they consider to be the major actors behind the war and its barbarism, he would be tried and if found guilty he would be punished...
For too long, Africa had represented itself as a sick child needing medication, help and aid. While that may be some fish, we need to learn some fishing skills that may be more helpful to all concerned...
It's been said that it takes a drug to cure a disease, it takes failure to appreciate success, and as shown recently, it takes an ailing president, overambitious first lady and a helplessly weak vice president to invoke the anger of Nigerian youths...
