Nigeria should not lose sleep over this UAE position. Nigeria is second on the table in terms of number of visitors into Dubai from Africa and Nigerians who visit the UAE for vacation or business should look for other places to go to.
People should not tolerate insults even from themselves.
This is a difficult time with the FG standing up to countries that have treated Nigeria and Nigerians badly yet all sensible Nigerians are in support of...

He has been in prison (correctional facility) for some years now over the ChaCha's murder issue where he accused the police of complicity in the handling of the case.
Was he tried and convicted in a law court or has he been awaiting trial all this while?
If he was actually tried, convicted and sentenced to jail then fine, that would be a case of the law taking its course.
But if he has not been tried and convicted...
Politicians must not play politics with the issue of criminal elements masquerading as mere Fulani herdsmen considering the seriousness of the issue at hand.
The killings, maiming and destruction of farmlands must stop or be forced to come to an end by the government.
It is either you are on the side of killer herdsmen masquerading as harmless Fulani herdsmen that kill, maim and destroy or you are on the side of their victims from all over the...
A client asked me to add a Koo share button on his newspaper website since it doesn't appear (according to him) as if the FG is in any hurry to lift the Twitter ban anytime soon.
To be honest I never heard of Koo social media platform before now so I downloaded it from Google Play Store and guess the first 2 Koo profiles they recommended I follow - Government of Nigeria with over 47K followers and...

No one gives you a loan without a collateral in case you default unless the person decides to trust you or prepare their minds that they can bear the loss if you fail to repay the loan.Nothing wrong with China asking for or insisting on a national asset to guarantee that their money would not just disappear into thin air if Nigeria fails to repay the loan as agreed.The major problem right now is that the...

Africans must begin to think solutions and try to take advantage of opportunities that come up from time to time.Why are we not aggressively developing or trying to create vaccines for coronavirus considering the fact that Nigeria for example successfully dealt with the 2 reported cases and stopped the spread of the virus when countries like China, Italy, US, France, UK, Canada etc are shutting down schools and locking down entire cities?Why are we not thinking...
