The man-made ugly events in Nigeria in the last few weeks are strong signals that all is not well with the country. Concisely, the situations in the country needs urgent surgical care but unfortunately, the country’s history is very repetitious and sooner or later, it will be business as usual…
The slowing down of the economy may be partially attributed to lack of structural reforms as was enunciated by Sanusi. But the crust of the matter was the partial removal of the fuel subsidy that brought about the increase of cost of living and production…
The EFCC is bloated everyday with the hard earned name of Kalu brought to disrepute. The EFCC always uses wide coverage by the media to impress Nigerians while molesting Kalu. Today, many Nigerians are not impressed…
I have always been fascinated with the aeroplane. I always go to the airports and go to the viewing areas just to see planes land and take off. It is exhilarating for me and makes me appreciate technology. Unfortunately, it is not an invention of the black man. I have always wondered at the brains that came up with the idea of throwing such a huge metallic weight into the air, with people and goods inside…
Thankfully, things are a lot calmer; let us look again at the re-christening of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) a bit more dispassionately. President Jonathan, in a recent broadcast, directed that UNILAG would henceforth be known as Moshood Abiola University…
Air crashes in Nigeria are like coming of age ceremonies, where the attendees air their closets, stride their wares, get immolated and conclude the lessons of the day by wrapping up and behaving like it never happened. After the Dana disaster that has claimed the lives of tens of our fellow citizens, if history were to repeat itself we can guarantee nothing will come of it…

Though he belonged to the past when keeping to tradition and culture of our people was sacrosanct and binding on almost everybody living in Igboland he may have not done so if he were born in this new millenium, this new sophisticated IT age…
The very first time I came across the word “leukemia” the patient was a Medical Doctor, now I am amazed at how derisive I was with my unspoken reaction. “Is he not supposed to be a physician? Knowing the symptoms and dealing with them before he becomes ill?” Reality of life most often do not follow logic, the advantage of medical training and pragmatic views aided by the experience of practice all succumb to any kind of illness if and when they come calling…
The smoldering smoke from the ill fated Dana Airline crash in Iju Ishaga, a suburb of Lagos, has gradually died down and with it, a nation tottering on the brinks of security maelstrom has gone back to its troubled sleep. Life, as in the greatly unsecured and un-assured form we have known it as Nigerians, has assumed its normal style…
