This is not only unsafe and dangerous but reckless and irresponsible. I asked one of the FRSC officials that came to me when I was stopped along Benin expressway why they were engaging in such reckless and dangerous behavior considering the fact that a vehicle on high speed could ram...

A good leader will naturally inspire the people

Until Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion feel safe and proud enough to claim Nigeria as their nation and refer to the president as our leader we cannot say we have had a good leader in Nigeria. I heard from people from India, Egypt and Pakistan that relocated to Dubai several years ago saying our leader did this, our leader will do that etc and they weren't talking about the leaders in their respective countries, they...

Only the foolish starve just to export food to wealthy nations

Why export yams (never mind that they got spoilt and were thrown away as waste) to other countries when even the middle class cannot comfortably afford to buy yams let alone the poor? Why do we do things like we don't have brains or we have but don't use them? Zero revenue for the exported yams along with negative and embarrassing publicity yet yams are very expensive in Nigeria right now. Wouldn't the exporters have made...

My first and last involvement in politics

Can honest people go into politics and keep their integrity intact? In my 4th year in the university I was approached by a politician that wanted to be councillor and he wanted me to contest as a delegate because the delegates would in turn vote and elect the councillor. It was the Option A4 system under late Gen Abacha and on the day of the election of the delegates I found myself contesting against much older...
