True. He was loyal to the end. There were some people, who had tried to drive a wedge between President Buhari and the renowned virologist, through snide comments
Thankfully though, our visionary President, Muhammadu Buhari, has gone one step towards convergence by renaming the Communications Ministry as the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, a development that is quite commendable and apt
To Abacha, the obdurate, thick, crabby, crackbrained and maximum leader, the tools of contest was not reason, consensus and compromise but oil, money, position and brute force. The theatre of his catfight with Wiwa was the Niger creeks, a terrain rich in the black gold but blighted by environmental degradation and malnourished in civilizational infrastructure
It would have been heart-warming if Ms Genevieve Nnaji had kept sealed lips. It would have been gracious if frazzled selectors had promptly apologized, and speedily assumed responsibility, and offered to resign (or feigned it). It would have been a shocking binge of fresh air if our social media influencers and critics had done a little research before crashing into the current controversy surrounding America’s Oscar Awards’ treatment or maltreatment of our dear lovely Lionheart. It would have been great to see how the supposed second-placed work which is predominantly rendered in an indigenous language would have fared. It would have been uplifting if after five years of “searching” for the right movie to represent Nigeria at the Oscars, we didn’t bungle it.
f anything, Femi Adesina gave a literary expression to how jolted to the hilt people at the Aso Rock Villa were about the inevitability of a win at the polls by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party and Atiku Abubakar during the February 23 presidential election.
The former president was the one that ruined Abubakar most, when they fought a bitter battle as they served together in government. Obasanjo wrote books, granted interviews, where he poured vitriol on his former deputy. He described him in words that won’t make you buy Atiku for 10 kobo
At a discourse of this nature, one would have expected an expert in the field of Environmental Science and related fields as the Guest Speaker. However, the decision to engage somebody like me (a generalist) by the Faculty is, probably to allow all of us in this hall to interact and collectively navigate through the waters of general knowledge and berth at a safe harbour together using traditional approach as our paddle. It is therefore important for me to state that, you should not expect the kind of presentation which a professional would deliver. Nonetheless, from the general knowledge, we will be able to generate further studies which would make us richer in scope and perception.
It appears therefore that ICPC is merely pursuing Momoh solely on the basis that she is the wife of the ex-managing director of PPMC. They have not been able to present any evidence of her guilt to the court beside mere suspicious. Unfortunately the court deals with evidence not suspicion
There’s no need to wonder. The question mark is off. The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, is, without a doubt, still Nigeria’s most dangerous man and the government does not appear to be in any hurry to change Magu’s status.
But if Atiku and his supporters had hoped that they will secure victory at the Supreme Court, they were grossly disappointed. In just a sentence, the Supreme Court dismissed their appeal on October 30.
The desire to drive 2019 Model Jeep like the semi-literate Chairman of their local council is turning them into snarling and untameable dogs, who will, as readily, tear the throat of their innocent friends, girlfriends and strangers for their body parts to feed a new, devilish and cancerous desire to get rich
There is this common joke I share with people when asked what the day’s date is. In responding, I will say: “The day’s date is so, so and so, if Nigeria doesn’t change it.” Of course, this elicits some laughter because it is believed no one can change the date, so with time, I want to believe. For Nigeria, nothing is impossible!
The President’s meetings with the two prominent rulers marked an important upswing in relations between Nigeria and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
We are all too familiar with the term “corruption” that there is at least a consensus that it is one of the obstacles to nation-building in Nigeria. Most Nigerians experience this malaise on a daily basis and indeed, our educational institutions are not immune to the virus.
Penultimate Sunday was wet as the shower of blessings, which started the previous day, kept dropping with almost no end…
And now, she’s nursing a fresh one. Former Chadian Prime Minister and current Chair of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, inflicted the latest scar on Arikana in a letter on October 7, terminating her appointment as the AU ambassador to the US.
For instance, our Holy Prophet Mohammed (Peace and Blessings of Allah Be Upon Him) is reported to have said, “Love of your country (patriotism) is part of your faith.” Nothing better underscores that position than the above quote.
Forget the grinding traffic jam, the ever-bustling bus stops, the noisy markets and all those discourteous motorcyclists, who are a big pain in the neck. And the street urchins. Forget them all for a while.
It identified Babatunde Fowler who, as Chairman of the Lagos State Inland Revenue Service, had driven the process that saw the state internally generated revenue jump from a monthly average of N3.6 billion in 2006 to N25 billion in 2015.
