By Arnold A. Alalibo | November 3, 2017 | NNP | The hue and cry in opposition to the eradication of History Studies from our primary and secondary schools has eventually paid off. Its notional existence for about three decades has proved catastrophic to a nation and generations interred in ignorance or incapacity. A proclamation […]

Re: IPOB is an insurgency, not a terrorist organization

By Jideofor Adibe | Nasarawa, Nigeria | October 15, 2017 –My last week’s column, ‘IPOB is an insurgency, not a terrorist organization’, elicited a remarkable number of comments – kudos and criticisms as one would expect when one throws one’s hat onto the public space.

A Democracy in the Clutch of an Evil Oligarchy- By Tochukwu Ezukanma

By Tochukwu Ezukanma  | Lagos, Nigeria | October 15, 2017 – In one of his mournful songs, Sorrow, Tears and Blood, that tireless nonconformist, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, sang: everybody run, run, run; everybody scatter, scatter; police de come, army de come; confusion everywhere; somebody nearly died, somebody just died; ten minutes later, police don go away, […]

Texas Not A Mere Geographical Space – By Chinedu Ogoke

By Chinedu Ogoke | NNP | October 8, 2017 –  [Texas] “is no longer a mere geographical space”— John O’Sullivan, 1845 ‘[I]n my early youth,’ as a kid, two books I won in a competition brought some locations in America so close that I could physically touch those places.

Independence: Another Look at Nigeria – By Arnold A. Alalibo

By Arnold A. Alalibo | NNP | October 8, 2017 – I am not surprised at the current widespread agitations for secession across the country.

Why Nigeria Must Be Restructured – By Lloyd F. Ukwu, Esquire

By Lloyd F. Ukwu, Esquire | Washington DC, USA | Sept. 16, 2017 – Nigeria must embrace restructuring now! If it resists, growing chaos and strife will ensue. The status quo is indefensible.
