The Mandela Model And Vision Of Leadership

I cannot help but laugh when I hear Obasanjo and some of our leaders complain that our system of Justice is rather slow, and there is nothing they can do about it. Can you imagine President Bush giving Americans such excuses as his reasons not to immediately declare war on Al Qaeda, following the traumatic event of 9/11?

Of Debts, Disintegration and Friendships with Enemies?

Nigeria is not among the announced countries slated for debt relief or cancellations, and in large measure, this is what I accuse President Bush of, he did not want Nigerian debt forgiven, and his agencies were busily proclaiming the scheduling of Nigeria's disintegration!

Some June 12, For Sure!

June 12, 1993 was that almost impossible day in the horizon of a country that had been written off as a colonially-induced tragedy of the worst kind; a date that happened, as they say in football, against the run of play...

Ovie Kpor – The King is dead

Is Gen. Obasanjo An Extortioner?

Obasanjo Unfit To Lead The War Against Corruption

At the end of the day, the War against Corruption is going nowhere under this President. If future Nigerian leaders make the Obasanjo model the gold standard in selfless leadership, I guarantee you, that the nation will never truly prosper...

The Fury Of First Ladies

I would certainly not be bothered one bit if I never got to see the wife or concubines of any ruler until the expiration his tenure. We are almost forgetting that the Constitution has no provisions for the so-called office of the First Lady...

As We Observe, NOT Celebrate, Our 53rd Independence Anniversary

For me, our problems started with the military’s insidious and invidious incursion into governance in Nigeria. They caused the majority of our problems today. They divided us; they misruled us; they stole from us...
