TO SADIQ ABACHA — ON BEHALF OF WOLE SOYINKA | BY AYO SOGUNRO

Dear Sadiq Abacha, I do not know you personally, but I admire your filial bravery—however misguided—in  defending the honour of your father , the late General Sani Abacha. This in itself is not a problem; it is an obligation—in this cultural construct of ours—for children to rise to the defence of their parents, no matter what infamy or perfidy the said parent might have dabbled in.  Read more here...  http://ayosogunro.com/2014/03/05/to-sadiq-abacha-on-behalf-of-soyinka-by-ayo-sogunro/

Nigeria cannot survive without the Igbos. By Femi Aribisala

Image
Even the bitterest adversaries of the Igbo cannot but admit that, as a people, they are very resourceful and ingenious.  Indeed, this has often been the cause of their envy and dislike by others.  However, more enlightened non-Igbo Nigerians see this as a cause for celebration. AMONG the different ethnic groups in Nigeria, the Igbo are without a doubt, one of the most remarkable.  So remarkable, indeed, that some have even traced their ancestry to biblical Israel, as the far-flung descendants of Jacob, the Jewish patriarch.  Gad, Jacob’s seventh son, is said to have had three sons who settled in South-eastern Nigeria. These sons; Eri, Arodi and Areli, are believed to have fathered clans in Igbo-land and to have founded such Igbo towns as Aguleri, Arochukwu, Owerri and Umuleri.

Nigeria Stinking, Sinking Under Corruption- Ugly Situation Surely Out of Okonjo–Iweala’s Management Capability-Olapadade Agoro

Image
From facts and figures obtained from International dependable source of economic information data bank, there can be no disputing the fact that the nation’s economy is currently anti -utopia, wobbly and unpredictably a loose horse that has ran widely out of control, leaving its rider Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala the Finance Minister flatly a bum, wet, rough and dirty. The Foreign Exchange Reserves cumulative with the disputatious Excess Crude oil Account encouragingly rising by US$ 11.34 in 2012 from US$ 32.94 its base level at the end of 2011 to end up standing as US$ 44.93 as at January 2, 2012 but however according to the Central Bank of Nigeria without good reasons adduced to its drawn down effects surprisingly plummeted to US$ to US$ 43. 932 billion as at December 23 2013. This ran contrary to the promise made July 2011 by Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Okojo- Iweala the Minister for Finance and who incidentally doubles up as Coordinating Minister of the economy at a gathering with Organiz...

The Wickedest Man in Nigeria By Jason Abaga

           Since I was a little lad pulling little girls’ braids in Sunday School and making them cry, I’ve always wanted one thing, and one thing only: to be the wickedest man in Nigeria. Other children wanted to be doctors and pilots and teachers. Not I. I wanted to burn things down and deface posters. I wanted people to curse and revile me as I passed by. I wanted them to spit at the mention of my name. It has always been my purpose to be wicked, as I’ve said. So as soon as I was done with school and finished my NYSC, I set about looking for the most nefarious things and person to be. This was not easy, I assure you. All around me, the competition was stiff. There were more wicked people than I had imagined, all living in one country. I realized that in order to set myself out as truly wicked, truly mind horrifyingly ghastly, I would have to excel above my peers in a manner never before seen. I immediately set about my plan. At the ba...

Open Letter To My Fellow Nigerian Youths By Dotun Nelson

Dear Proudly Nigerians, NOW THAT THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO STRIKE US HARD, NECESSITY LEFT US NO CHOICE THAN TO STRIKE BACK COME 2015. Do we need a soothsayer to tell us that the governing bodies so-called government are our future barricades? Having series of conference to make sure our tomorrow is a blatant blackout. It’s now obvious to all and sundry, old and young, tribes and individual that they really don’t give a damn about the lives to come of Nigerian youths. What we’ve so far experience is an expectancy of when the selfish, self-centred reigns. I’m glad they save us the need for group-thinking and campaign on our stance as they have characteristically offer us the choice to choose for ourselves and generations yet unborn but reluctantly, which are to come. Obviously, they are telling us that ‘’Look Youths, if truly you yearn for true and fair-share of democracy and leadership, the path you’ve been turning away from, the hard choices you’ve been shunning all years long,...

ON CORRUPTION, LET’S COPY AND PASTE THE GEORGIAN MODEL BY CHINEDU EKEKE

Image
Anti-corruption crusaders believe, and perhaps justifiably so, that corruption is an official language in Nigeria. The frequency of financial scandals as well as their dimensions in government circles, baffle even the most sanguine of citizens. Every sector of the economy reeks of stench from the rot that is official sleaze, and as it persists, it manifests itself in acute underdevelopment of the state, decayed infrastructure and avoidable loss of lives. The current administration, at inception, vowed to wage a war against the societal cancer, just like the administration before it and others before them. From the first military coup in 1966, every successive government had identified corruption as, not just an issue, but the major issue in Nigeria. And with such identification came with a few times serious, but most often feeble – attempts to curb the monster. Fifty three years after independence, ours has emerged a country overran by official corruption, so much so that many ...
