Space will not permit me to reproduce some of the […]

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, […]

By Arnold A. Alalibo | NNP | October 8, 2017 – I am not surprised at the current widespread agitations for secession across the country. The gestures have always loomed in the horizon of the country long ago.

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.
