I met the Elder personally only once, and that meeting was brief. However, I came away from that encounter with advice that left an indelible impact upon me and gave me courage to face my personal devils at the time and prevail.

Naturally, many have remained sceptical about the possibility of a blackman becoming the president of a predominantly white America. Endless scenarios of how white America would gang up against a black candidate once Obama is the democratic nominee has continued to be concocted. Even the Clinton campaign has sought to play the race card by advancing the same arguments. But Obama has so far continued to confound the sceptics by his yet unstoppable appeal to both black and white America.

The creation of Ijebu state should illustrate
a political and economic combination of unique and hard working human frontiers
which, with all intents and purposes, is capable of uplifting the uncommon
relevance of dynamism in the Nigerian federal system. The abiding concern and
responsibility of those directly planning and executing the statutory petition
for the new state is to follow meticulously the details of constitutional
requirement as specified in our basic law in order to succeed.

1) is the current electoral process acceptable enough and can we safely assume that subsequent elections will be more acceptable? (2) Is the Independent National Electoral Commission properly organised to conduct acceptable elections in the near future to which all Nigerians and the International community aspire for?

The Guardian of April 23, 2008 named Mr. Akin
Oshuntokun as one of the buyers of guesthouses
formerly reserved for the use of Vice President Atiku
Abubakar. As a columnist, Oshuntokun made
it his business to pry into the affairs of public
officials. Now it is time he made a public statement
explaining how he got the guesthouse and how he was
able to put together the money to buy it. Over to you, Mr.
Oshuntokun.

In one week, Hillary Clinton achieved the spectacular feat of becoming a testicularly fortified alpha male, who puts Rocky Balboa to shame, and is capable of upgrading the deficient, single-testiculed Obama into a real man by loaning him one of her three balls! She achieved this feat in the phallophilic diction and the subconscious of her male supporters. These incidents of male epistemic violence have not happened by accident.

While Nigeria currently generates less than 1,000 mw, Iran with a population of 70 million already generates 42,000mw. South Africa generates 36,000mw for a population of 40 million which translates to 800 watts per capita. At current capacity, Nigeria is less than a miserable 10 watts per capita. To match South Africa’s 800 watts per person, Nigeria needs to generate 104,000mw of electricity in a hurry.

Nigerians have always narrowly defined leadership by allowing individual’s abilities to obscure larger societal needs which is likely to prove more important in the larger context. Leadership is by no means for the swift or for the strong but meant for those human beings that know their limitations, have the ability to listen and surround themselves with men who can tell them the truth and guide the right way. We are in a polity where issues are never discussed and if they are discussed they are with respect to how a leading party can better loot.

Racism. Sexism. Ethnocentrism. Religious fundamentalism.
Ageism. Heightism. Weightism. Fashionism. Classism. Wealthism. Careerism.
Sportism. Ismism. I could go on and on, listing the ways in which we as human
beings tend to divide ourselves up and treat people in the various division
differently. But I'm more interested today in examining this tendency for us to
divide ourselves in these various ways.

In the 80s, the late Professor
Lambo as the Vice-President of WHO visited the University of Athens medical
school where he was asked by a student what field he should specialise in when he graduated. The professor told him "I would have
suggested psychiatry because that is my field, but today’s Nigeria will require
many cardiologists." Nigerians, he said, are now dying in large numbers from
heart-related diseases. But because the average Nigerian is paranoid, they
attribute those deaths to witch-craft and other customary-beliefs.

Why is Utomi in a hurry to cut Soludo slack? Why the curious willingness to clear exculpatory space for Soludo even though he is reported to have told members of the probe panel behind closed doors that he made a mistake and that they should, as young people, understand and forgive his youthful exuberance? Why the exceptionalism?

Even as their cup runnth over in ways that would make their biblical cousins green with envy, the Kalabaris have failed to transform their good fortunes into political capital in Rivers State and one often wonders why this tribe of overachievers cannot navigate its way to the pinnacle of the political mountain in the last four decades. With the antecedent on the ground at the moment, it would be easier for the Biblical camel to pass through the eye of a needle before a kalabari man would be governor of Rivers State.

His domestic quality must stretch beyond the kitchen to the bedroom. Ah ha! This is where this starts.
If the man does not understand what a bedroom means, he should not bother. The traditional place for proving his manhood is here, where God commanded him to handle the task of procreation.
This guy I should marry must be a wizard in bed. He should be a natural lover of sex. His creative genius should be brought to bear upon our bed and me on it. He should be a willing and ABLE player. He must be ready to play at all times.

The position of the Igbo
in the new dispensation is, in my judgment, more fundamental. It should be
regarded as vital and should go beyond historical disputations. I
am prepared to engage in animated dialogue with “ Ndi Ogom,” so that they can
re-focus their attention from money-making to Nigeria’s real-politik.

Motherhood is a journey, although not the easiest of all of life's
journeys but, the only one with several pit stops that you emerge from
happy and refreshed.
Motherhood is an investment. It is highly recommended that you invest
wisely because the dividends will surely come....you would want to
proudly show them off.
Happy Mothers Day!

Calus Enoma's widow looks like she needs help right now. We must stand by her to stand up to her in-laws and insist on the inviolability of the UN Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) which Nigeria ratified in 1985, and Sections 33 to 44 of the 1999 Constitution. But she herself must be willing to assert herself. All too often, women in difficult circumstances are too willing to acquiesce, and play the victim; ironically the chief promoters of obnoxious traditional practices are women.
