Introducing Nigeria: A-Z [Book Review] PDF Print E-mail

Saturday, 04 July 2009

When I saw a copy of Introducing Nigeria: A-Z I remembered the recent times I had gone to the library in England and could hardly find any full colour and beautifully illustrated book on Nigeria. The trio of Bakare, Belgore and Harrison had already done that and from first impressions, they had done a good job.

Written by Uyi Lawani   
Saturday, 04 July 2009

In the recent past, we have seen or read several cases of stealing from within the public sphere but unknown to many, privately employed citizens are almost equally involved in this thieving business. But they – these privately employed – have largely evaded scrutiny because unlike the treatment meted out to their public counterparts, their own linens are washed in private.

Time shall tell whether Mr. governor will fall by the wayside wanting as a onetime social crusader who failed woefully as a governor of people. But unlike, most people who moved the crowd to attain social justice - I dare say that Oshiomhole is having problem defining himself.

On 14 June, 2009 THE NATION newspaper carried an interview with one Sadiq Yar’Adua. Because of my deep knowledge of Sadiq, from his career to his family background, I found it absolutely necessary to respond to the blatant lies he had spewed out in his interview.

Three Paralyzed Arms Of A Terminally Ill Democracy. PDF Print E-mail
Guest Articles
Written by Chu'Emeka Makata, MD

He offered sacrifices to his ancestors. He gave us aboniki, shear butter and alovera to apply on his wounds. He said that, that will restore his arms. He also said he was going to bind the vigilante with the spirit of our ancestors so that they will never come to attack our Democracy or any other person in our community again. However each time Democracy appears to be recovering, they came to attack him . We have discovered that each time they attacked him; they gave him an injection in his arms. These are the containers of the injection and the label on it reads corruption. That is what they keep injecting into his arms and it is almost paralysing him because he can hardly use the arms again.

Obama’s Stockholm Syndrome (Part 1) PDF Print E-mail

As the supposed leader of the free world, Obama’s reluctance to support the Iranian people in their current revolt against the quasi-religious Mullah tyranny is particularly disappointing, and speaks volumes of his Islamist appeasement mindset.

Perhaps, his most appalling display of servile capitulation to Jihadists was his recent hyped Cairo speech. The major thrust of his drivel was bending over backwards to appease Muslims and play into their false sense of victim-hood with profuse apologies for alleged historic transgressions by the West.

"What kind of country is this where Senior Advocates of Nigeria are used to mess up the judiciary? We will not allow this kind of practice. This is wrong. The appellant has been shuttling from one court to another on a matter that the Supreme Court had already delivered judgment."

I might not be the Local Governments auditor general but from my squalor I am seeing that with the manner the chairmen run the local governments, some of them living outside the local governments, the presence of unaccountable military rule might have never gone on errand.
