If concerted efforts are not taken by the government to painstakingly plan and systematically build decent and affordable houses for the working class, the developing satellite towns would eventually become Abuja's main albatross in the nearest future...
It is common sense fact that the problem with our electoral or voting systems is squarely about transparent conduct of the actual voting process and that all that is needed is how to eliminate all forms of rigging and manipulations...
The new season we are approaching is one that gives us the opportunity to review and renew things. It is a season where technology — mainly the Internet, GSM telephones and digital and satellite TV — has made the world a smaller place. We can now, in real time, see in examples from around of how to deal with tyrants, incompetent and illegitimate rulers...
