That was the message, in my estimation, that insurgents rudely passed to Nigeria last Tuesday with the invasion of Nigeria’s apex military institution, the Nigerian Defence Academy.

But an average trader from the South Eastern part in the same market setting will display a direct opposite attitude.
Construction of roads of such inferior and substandard quality has cast Nigeria in bad light in the eyes of the world as a country of anything goes.
In nine days, of the 14 districts in Rome, it totally destroyed three, severely destroying additional seven later.
If you wake up today and decide you are not happy, nothing will excite you for the rest of that day because almost everything we do is influenced by the way we feel, and the way we feel is determined by our thoughts.
Both perceptually and in reality, it was a sustained agitation against injustice meted to a people (Wawa) who were honest, patient, intelligent and hardworking.
The news headlines, the slant of the stories, the analyses and discussions, all tended to paint a narrative of the humiliation of our military, the failure of government, and the fact that anarchy had been unleashed on the land. Watching, listening to and reading all the deliberate obfuscation of the matter reinforces the conviction once again that our country is filled with haters of government, of humanity, of good, and even of God. They deliberately muddy the waters, rejoice at evil and all forms of iniquity.
Thinking deeply, ‘orun n ya bo, kii se oro enikan’ (The sky is falling, is not a matter limited to a person). Already, the situation is getting out of hand, with the destructive stage for personal enmity being set. In the theory of warfare, the most difficult war to bring to an end is that which is among brothers; in this case, products of the same political womb. July 16, 2022 is just some hours away and the enemy is already waiting at the door, praying earnestly and waiting patiently for the wall to open up. If APC falls, it will consume everybody, irrespective of where the antagonists or protagonists may have pitched their tent.
The on-going case of Chidinma Ojukwu has gripped – and shocked – the nation and the one question everybody is asking is why did a young lady like her kill a grown man.
The leader of the Shua Arab in Edo, Idris Adanno, in a curious, latter-day rediscovery of his linguistic and cultural identity, arranged for his own coronation as the “Sultan” of the Shua Arab in Edo. It was a sign of displeasure, if not rebellion, against the current practice of lumping together all leaders of Hausa communities as “Sarkin.”
This is why my attendance at this summit is important to me and the organization I represent.
Soon after, the police arrived at the accident scene and asked the farmer to recount what had happened.
It is really startling to see well-certificated Nigerians gobbling and vectoring fallacies because they suit their bias. These ones advertise ‘’certificated ignorance’’ with vanity titles on their bios. How can anyone who has gone through the tedious mill of pedagogy and who makes pretensions to high academic qualifications resolve without a scintilla of proof that the nation’s military is absorbing terrorists? Is it a case of ‘’certificated ignorance’’ or deliberate mischief?
In my usual curious nature, I requested to see Sister Rose’s CV (not her real name). When I sighted it, it was in a shambles. The length of her name occupied virtually the entire length of the page; her work experiences over the years were grossly inconsistent; the format was poor; and typos littered the CV.
By 2015, the forces of elite conspiracy and ethno-religious myopism, organised an acidic campaign against the Jonathan Presidency and got him out of office.
The occupant of that office is the immediate recipient of blame for an economy gone wrong; and with the current economic challenges, the seat must be hot enough to leave traces on her.
It is hard to write this heartfelt eulogy for a good friend without it bringing a tear to one’s eyes, knowing that we have lost one of the most courageous and profoundly noble human beings that any of us will share time with on earth. The demise of Capi as I used to call him, has left a huge gap nobody can fill because he was unique and wired differently. His fierce dignity, compassion, and unbending will to sacrifice for the greater good, in the interest of the larger society, speaks volumes of his uncommon personality.
Sea robbery in Nigerian territorial waters and piracy in adjoining seas in the GoG constitute a menace to international shipping. These include the hijack of merchant oil tankers and fishing vessels, ship robbery and the kidnap of mariners.
A sculptor, painter, architect, poet and engineer, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, is the 38-letter name a little wizard was given at birth. But the world picked Michelangelo from the names and stuck it to his forehead.
The Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending was launched in 2011 and incorporated in 2013 wholly by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN. And it has been discharging its mandate with clear-headed reforms for the rebirth of agriculture as of old.
