Germany's Merkel Wins Fourth Term

One of the major problems in Nigeria is in the area of inferiority complex and the constant need for some Nigerians to validate themselves using Western standards. Not too long ago, a serving US president died in office while doing his 4th term in office. The Head of State and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces in Britain is a life time position and Queen Elizabeth has held this position for well over 60 years....

The burden of leadership well handled by Nnia Nwodo but...

Why is it that people that will always try to operate within the law and avoid breaking the law will have the mind to mislead others and urge them to break the law even when they know the consequences of breaking the law? Some of us correctly and rightly cautioned against the way the bail conditions were being made nonsense of and all some of the vocal guys out there could say was that we were...

Electricity distribution companies are the most corrupt and arrogant entities out there

Nigerians are being exploited, cheated and robbed by the discos out there and what should be rightly seen as the most irresponsible and annoying style of stealing from law abiding citizens is being ignored by many when the likes of the Nigeria Police and EFCC should be working day and night trying to put an end to this shameful practice of providing Nigerians with estimated bills irrespective of the amount of electriciy they consume per month....

Post civil war Igbos will not endure the unfair treatment longer than necessary

The deliberate policies the FG put in place to punish and frustrate the Igbo man ended up working in favor of the Igbo man and Igboland even though the Igbo man has been slowed down and economic potential of Igboland not anywhere it should have been. A people that can write national exams and come out tops, have the highest standard of living and are the most hardworking and innovative Nigerians due to obstacles set before...

Making sense of Diezani's response and I am inclined to believe her version

Pretty long though. Diezani is not and cannot be a saint for sure but I believe her version and will not take the EFCC serious until they prosecute alleged corrupt Nigerians in the law courts and not on the pages of newspapers. Diezani was born into wealth as her parents are royalty, she was a former director in Shell, a 2 time minister, first female president of OPEC and the wife of a 2 time military...

When will we start questioning and ostracizing criminals instead of celebrating them?

No big deal in the police voicing out the reason for the Ozubulu attacks so early because in every society the bad people and criminals are known by the police and the people. That is why anything a policeman loses his life in any armed robbery attack the armed robbers are always arrested and almost always killed in return. That is why societies that engage in self cleansing like Boys Oye don't usually have criminals living...

Senate rejected restructuring abi? Were you expecting the elites to give up the powers they have been enjoying so easily?

The average Northern youth is not more comfortable than the average Southern youth in terms of education and standard of living so this is not really about North vs South but about elites vs the masses. Didn't Senators from the South support and pass the North East Development Commission bill in record time? The North play better politics when they want something for themselves. The North Central even went against the core North and told them...

Cultures and traditions should be respected

People like complicating simple matters. If the tradition says no to a widow having sex on the late man's bed why not have the same sex elsewhere? Must it be in the widow's house and the bed she shared with her husband? Until the tradition is changed offenders caught would be punished. Same thing with the law of the land, if the law says rape is a crime and you are caught raping someone you will...

Distributed energy generation remains the solution to our power problems

Uninterrupted power supply for the last 2 weeks even when nothing came from the grid for 3 days sometime last week thanks to the regular power inverter backup system. I really don't understand how people spend so much running generators when 50% of what they spend in a year could get them an inverter backup system (inverter plus batteries) that they would enjoy for at least 2 years before noticing appreciable drop in performance of the...
