Nigeria is indeed a great nation, and as such, has been blessed with great potentials – great men, great women, enormous natural resources and large expanse of land. We are so blessed as a nation that the people in government are short of ideas of how to manage the huge potentials of Nigerians. Among the talents that God has blessed Nigeria with are some of the Ministers of the Federal Government; some of which have made Nigeria lower than they met her. Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is undoubtedly a great talent in Nigeria. She has been recognized from the World…

It is certain that nations do not attain greatness from their wishing-seats; neither do nations become great overnight – For Rome was not built in a day. It is also a known fact that most nations developed on the efforts (labour) of a large number of people. The responsibility of every government from the ancient times till date the welfare of their own people; while their people make concerted efforts towards the growth and development of their nation or Kingdom. It is actually a two-way journey! However, the experience of most Nigerians for a long time now is far from…

The list of kidnapped persons and personalities is too long to be mentioned. From the South-West to the South-South and to South-East; many Nigerians – from Religious figures to Political and to Economic entities; there has been increasing rate of kidnapping in most States in Nigeria. While some States appear to be fighting the menace; some are mute about it. The situation then becomes, ‘as long as it does not come to us; we will not go to it’. Sometime ago, the Chairman of a political party in Nigeria, a former Presidential aspirant, Chief Olu Falae was Kidnapped around his…

I am one of the Nigerians that believe in the enormous potentials of the Legislative arm of the government of the Federation – Nigeria. The norm in Nigeria is very alarming and worrisome; as we love putting all our eggs inside one basket. We assume that there must be A SAVIOUR, who would love us so much as a nation; and therefore willing to even die for our growth, development and security. We believe that all that is needed to make Nigeria great is one great person or personality.  We so much believe this that during our elections, we literally tell…

The present security situation in Nigeria is nothing short of surprises and calls for some examinations and cross examinations of the reality, which is definitely not the ideal. I remember very well that a couple of decades ag0, most herdsmen relied on cutlasses and a few sticks to lead their animals and probable defend themselves and their cattle from rustlers or thieves generally. Our experience has a nation of over 170 million is nothing close to the ideal; instead of carrying the sticks; these herdsmen now carry weapons of destruction. Does it mean that the animals have grown in stubbornness…

Education is said to be the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education therefore is a lifelong process of learning and relearning principles, values and thoughts. Nigeria currently has around 90 Universities, offering tertiary education to Nigerians. The Polytechnics and Colleges of Technology are scattered around the length and breadth Nigeria. Various private organizations provide primary and secondary education to Nigeria. Undoubtedly, the education sector of Nigeria is not doing very well in terms of international standards. Strikes and student protest are very…

Laundry is a matter of cleanliness, sanity, integrity and attraction. Come to think of it, “how do you feel when your clothes are dirty?” I believe that dirty clothes are not only unclean, they smell unpleasantly too; hence, anyone wearing dirty clothes, is a man or woman that has poor perception from others and a man or woman of low attraction or self-esteem. The point we are making here is very simple, your clothes are expressions of your attitude and discipline, hence, wearing dirty clothes is a social embarrassment. Could you now imagine a man or woman with many or…
