Jonathan: Solution to Nigeria's problems is in Confab report---------------Why didn't you implement the recommendations when you were president of Nigeria?Why didn't you convene the conference on time so that you would have enough time to implement the recommendations since you were not sure of getting a 2nd term?You failed to insist on deregulation even though you had enough reasons and justifications to do that.You sacked Chief Odimegwu because Kwankwaso and his Northern colleagues asked for him...

Will Nigeria ever embrace blockchain? I very much doubt it.

Estonia - we have built a digital society and so can youEstonia, a country in Northern Europe, borders the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland. Including more than 1,500 islands, its diverse terrain spans rocky beaches, old-growth forest and many lakes. Formerly part of the Soviet Union, it's dotted with castles, churches and hilltop fortresses. The capital, Tallinn, is known for its preserved Old Town, museums and the 314m-high Tallinn TV Tower, which has an observation...

The police and the FG failed to address herders-farmers clashes early enough

What happened to the imported grass from Brasil that the Ministry of Agriculture and the FG embarked on?This should provide grass.What of water? Gov Wike of Rivers state has promised to allow the FG pipe water from Bonny to the North the same way crude oil is sent to the North from the Niger Delta region.Fulani herdsmen have always moved around with their cattle without any problems until their cows started destroying farmlands without paying compensations...

As Mr President suspends implementation of RUGA project

I just dey feel for all those APC supporters, vuvuzelas and propagandists that were busy trying to twist and confuse Nigerians with misinformation and lies concerning the badly designed and implemented RUGA project until it was suspended.Let the FG start by disarming the armed herdsmen, arresting the killings and helping those that survived their attacks and are living as refugees in IDPs camps to return to their homes that must have been rebuilt by the FG.Once...

Accusations must make sense or come with evidence for people to believe them

Did you notice how Nigerians regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender and political differences came together to condemn the slapping Senator and called for his arrest and prosecution?Compare this to the Krest rape allegation and see the difference.Nigerians would condemn crime and criminal behavior if the story is clear and if there is evidence.APC supporters should learn from PDP supporters who condemned a PDP senator and called for his arrest and prosecution.If the senator was APC almost...

One side of a story is never enough to arrive at a conclusion

Shout out to all Naija super cops and first class detectives that have categorically and magically figured out who is telling the truth and who is telling lies in the rape wahala without any iota of evidence or proof.If una be judges una go jail people tire even without trials.There is a reason why people that are accused of crimes are allowed to defend themselves in the law court so that people would not be convicted...

We must change our value systems and our sense of justice

For our society to change for the better we must change our thinking, our ways, our value systems, our expectations and our sense of justice.Any society that is more interested in what people would say or think in different scenarios than in pursing justice and fairness can never develop more than a jungle where might alone is seen as right, where the weak and vulnerable are seen as food for the strong or expendables..Tell a woman...

Increasing attacks on electricity distribution workers avoidable

Staff of electricity distribution companies are being attacked sometimes in very violent manners when they go out to disconnect electricity supply in homes or offices. I have seen at least 3 different videos with things like rods, cutlasses and glass being used on these workers who were only doing the jobs their greedy and wicked employers sent them to do. You send people estimated bills on a monthly basis even when they should be paying more than 10%...

Blame societal, family and peer pressures for most suicides

Societal, peer and family pressures are responsible for most of the suicide cases that have been happening of recent, at least in Nigeria based on media reports. Boyfriend jilts girlfriend and she commits suicide. Girlfriend jilts boyfriend and he commits suicide. He or she fails an exam and sniper comes to the rescue. He couldn't pay rent and he hangs himself. Let us try to remove depression from the equation for a minute and try to address how the society, family...
