Last year, Attahiru was four months into his tenure when he died, alongside 10 other officers, in an aircraft crash in Kaduna.

The Publisher, Journalist and Public Relations expert marked his 50th birthday with a book, titled: “The Law is an Ass.”

My task is simple” to interrogate this collection of nine short stories and either convince you to buy it or use your hard-earned naira….

Last week, three weeks into the deployment of the app, which is expected to take over the movement, scheduling, entry and exit of trucks into the ports, there were countless reports of trucks returning back unto the streets like the times of old. From the two possible access points into Apapa, the terrorism of trucks and their drivers returned to the frustration of those stakeholders who were convinced that the introduction of Etó would end truck congestion

Well, turns out the book is a collection of articles and newspaper publications written by the author and published under different media houses. Some as far back as 2012 and others as recent as 2018.

The firm made the announcement in a statement on Wednesday.

Entertainment reporting in Nigeria is set for a redefinition from February 20, 2019 with the entrance of eelive.ng, an all-entertainment online platform.

The Screeners Committee of the Best of Nollywood Awards has released the list of nominees for this year’s awards.

The organisers said the event will drive conversations around the huge role women play in in the development of filmmaking in Nigeria and seek to mentor younger ladies who might have inclinations’ towards directing

The book was launched last week Monday

The event will hold at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Kofo Abayomi, Victoria Island, under the chairmanship of former Governor of Ogun State, Aremo Olusegun Osoba

Here is a country with a president who has visited churches in the first two years of his tenure than possibly all former presidents put together. On each of his visits, he is accompanied by a large number of his cabinet members who belong to his faith. So one can say that every Christian on the Federal Executive Council has been part of the President’s itinerant Christianity

I could not but agree with them. These were ladies who had never lacked anything in their lives. They came from what you would call privileged backgrounds

According to Adedokun, who signed the statement, the website has two principal areas of focus, namely, Brand Hub, which focuses on the marketing, advertising, public relations, events, sponsorships, branding, media and related sub-sectors, and Entertainment Dialogue, a platform that celebrates personalities in the entertainment industry in Nigeria

As much as I was happy that government had noticed the now rampant loss of lives, especially people in their 40s and 50s, I did not understand how indigent Nigerians, (on whose behalf Chukwu claimed government was spending a N40, 000 subsidy) would access this seemingly laudable idea

Vision 2020 was launched in 2009 as an economic plan aimed at positioning Nigeria to become one of the top 20 economies in the world by the year 2020

We began to see some very unlikely activists stand up for the right of the child. People recorded videos of hate, posting same on Youtube and any other possible medium. Media interviews were granted, some hundreds of thousands of signatures were collected and then a bold group of men and women under the aegis of the Gender & Constitutional Reform Network, marched on the Senate, confronted the Senate President, David Mark, with a bill of rights

The truth is that some of the challenges, which Nigeria currently faces, are as old as the nation and it is impossible to wipe out these problems within just a few years of anyone’s administration, especially with the various security challenges that the government has had to deal with. For example, the problem of out-of-school children from which the country currently suffers dire consequences as evident in the Boko Haram challenge, started before Nigeria’s independence when the Northern region did not encourage parents to send their children to school. The level of poverty in Nigeria, as it is currently, is founded in the discovery of oil in 1956 and the boom that followed in the years after the civil war. The oil boom was followed by a streak of reckless expenditure by the Federal Government and the gradual abandonment of every creative way of revenue generation by state governments

I do not understand why in 2013, Nigeria has two sets of laws, which are colonial relics, governing our criminal justice system. This is the reason why the penalty for the man who steals billions of tax payers’ money is the same as with the man who steals a goat

Recently, I was wondering how these insurgents got this far in the execution of their evil plan, especially in the lifetime of so many respected traditional, religious and political leaders in the region. Now, I know how. How would a society with the Yerimas of this world join the fight against Boko Haram when its defeat would most likely compel parents to educate their children, including girl-children, which would deny them the opportunity to defile as many teenage girls as would last their entire lifetime? Now, I see the tacit approval, albeit through silence, of the need to stop children from getting educated, since the education of girls remains the greatest threat to their paedophiliac perversions. Now, I see why they cannot speak against the evils in the North. The complicity of Senator Sani Yeri
