It was Hunter, the blogger on the liberal leaning Daily Kos blog that first opined “I have often wondered how different groups of people can see the exact same thing but come to entirely different conclusions. I’m not talking about the “difference of opinion” things, or the “I disagree on a technicality” things, but the “I reject the very premise of your reality and have built my own version down here in the dank basement of my own mind”

Indeed, Dr. Uduaghan is walking on the right side of history. But the path he's chosen may not be all that smooth. To succeed in diverting the existing East/Lagos trading axis would be a seismic shift. The Igbo presence in Lagos has transcended business to social an cultural ties. Even if Warri and Koko ports become operational and safe, the patronage of the few who have no subsidiaries in Lagos, may not just be enough to effect the desired change in the local economies of the moribund port towns.

The people of Oyo State must prevent, by all means necessary, the emergence of another “Garrison Commander” (courtesy of ex-PDP Chairman, Ahmadu Ali, an ex-soldier devoid of any real achievement). Nobody must be allowed to take over from Chief Adedibu and again implement his type of politics.

 My eyes get misty when I see lovers, wrinkly babies, children with their helmets vigorously weaving bikes in their lane much to the consternation of passers-by, young adults at graduation doing us proud, the tired Mom waiting for her bus, the dad struggling to manage two kids at the store, the elderly trying to cross the street, the blind walking with their wielding stick…even listening to the unrepentant petulance of a defiant client (usually because of the fear of losing control)]….everything…..I can hear my heart beating…racing and then really slowing down…Rather than explode, I’m going to exhale…...I have to share my thoughts again as I listened this morning…

One day, we decided to visit Dalhatu in his house. A big surprise awaited us. His “house” turned out to be a small apartment in one of the towers in
Eko Court
in Victoria Island. A three-bedroom flat without a boys’-quarters? Our curiousity got the better of us. We asked him if this was a rest house or guest house of some sort. I can never forget what he said.

One year after Yar’Adua stole into power, through a monumentally flawed election; it is becoming increasingly obvious that the nation is once again saddled with another failed tribal leader in the making. His regime has been notoriously marked by indecision, policy somersaults and a subtle return to Northern domination.

This story is a real life story of a girl at the time and now a grown woman who was and is still disowned by her dad. So if you are a girl or a lady and you are separated from your dad, you are not alone.

So what do you think about individuals right to bear arms? Is the Constitution a living document or one that must evolve? Should presidents be elected by popular votes or the Electoral College? Should
America build an empire? Are the Federalists winning? When did the imperial president begin? Is it true that Abraham Lincoln reincarnated as John F. Kennedy? Was Richard Nixon really a crook? Is Obama your reincarnate? Did John McCain really sign the Declaration of Independence immediately after John Hancock?

I THOUGHT I saw Professor Babalola Borishade and Chief Femi Fani-Kayode smiling after their arraignment in court two days ago. I thought I saw a photograph in one of the papers showing them in a happy mood. And I wondered what could be funny about the aviation fund and their present circumstances?

Now, would we be right in always attacking our civil leaders
for corruption when our religious leaders are worse? Would it be
wise for us to continue to fall prey to these self-serving individuals who
claim to be speaking for the Supreme Being when clearly it is evident that they
are just toying with our sensibilities? I have a feeling that this was what Karl Marx had in mind
when he said that religion was the opium of the masses.

You smoke, they complain; you don't smoke they complain. You socialise, they complain, you don't; they still complain. You go out, they complain, you don't; they still complain. You love them "too much," they complain; you don't, they still complain. You don't 'do the thing' properly they complain; you 'do it' properly, they still complain. So, what do women really want from men?

The Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary defines a philanthropist as a rich person who helps the poor and those in need, especially by giving money. Apart from monetary needs other things like clothing, food, scholarships etc are among the things people give in the name of helping the poor.
We can see in Nigeria and world over, people, societies, clubs, churches engage in this act of helping the less privileged of the society.

It is obvious that the new EFCC under Waziri has
some antagonists in the Senate. These antagonists stage-managed
the controversy over her appointment and have now taken the battle to a new
dimension. The strategy is to find fault with her actions and create public suspicion against the EFCC under her. This subtle approach to discredit
Waziri is tantamount to witchcraft if Fani-Kayode’s superstitions have broader
applications.

In a recent workshop organised by
the Bureau for Public Enterprises under the Privatization Support Project
of the World Bank with environmental stakeholders, a wholesome issue on Port
Environment Review System came to the fore in order to set the stage for
environmental management framework for which the port can operate in line with
sustainable environmental development.

Nigerians will earn the dividend of democracy when the power
elite become subject to the powers of the electorate, and
consequently, act only in accordance to their will. Then, it will be impossible
for them to steal public funds or engage in any act that is
contrary to the legitimate aspirations of the people. Nigerian citizens
will rise from pawns and stooges in the elite power game to become the focus of
their elected and government officials and
every institution of government.

Most countries that sponsor their citizens for scholarships normally
have a clear mechanism in place, a good example is China, during my
master’s degree, 80% of international students in our Management school
were Asians and most of them went back upon completion of their
programs, which is one of the reasons their economy is developing at
such an alarming rate.

Some returnees have the habit of eating anything they see, everywhere they go. A bit of caution here. Except you have taken typhoid injection, and very sure that your stomach is not fragile, do not venture to Mama Sikira's buka to wolf down 'amala' and 'gbegiri' as you used to do before the Second World War. Having been away for some time, you may not have the same level of defences as you had then and it does take time to build this up.

You can imagine my shock this morning when my wife showed me the invitation card our four-year-old daughter brought home from school yesterday. It was addressed to Mummy (my wife, that is), asking her to please release Lisette (our daughter) for a sleep-over party on the eleventh of this month.

“The Nigeria Sports Commission (NSC) has set up an six-man inquiry team to investigate allegations of corruption in the local league. The NSC is the Nigerian equivalent of the sports ministry. The inquiry is a response to comments from former Kano Pillars coach Kadiri Ikhana.

The new millennium had dawned and the world looked forward to pursuing the millennium development goals (MDGs) and countries across the continents had bought into the grand design for a new world. But long before the MDGs became popular, a group of young Arabs had another millennial goal; to deflate the bubble of America’s invincibility. They are a ragtag army that took guerrilla warfare to a higher dimension. They had no

The endemic corruption and corrupt practices in the system is
so critical that any citizen looking up to government for service and discharge
of their civic responsibilities needs a psychiatrist. I however still
believe that the states should develop a working model on how ecological funds
would best benefit the communities, academia, students and help in the
socio-economic development of the states.

This article is partly in response to the one submitted by Abdulmumini Yinka Ajia on 07 June 2008, with the title “In 2007 Nigeria, We Had Our Obama Moment But Blew It”. My aim here is twofold: 1. to see (again) if there are enough grounds to compare Utomi and Obama as two presidential candidates, albeit in two different climes; 2. to see if, going forward, there are lessons Nigerians might learn from the abysmally failed Utomi candidacy.
