I challenge Mr Adoke to show me where in the Act a Child is defined as a Nigerian by birth and or nationality.

In the light of Gen. Buhari's interview on NVS, Here's an article I wrote in 2003 that shows Buhari's other side.

One sad tendency in Nigerian politics is the habit of arguing that one mediocre politician has a better record than another mediocre colleague.

Dear Helen Ukpabio, Legion of Nigerians and international citizens have expressed their dismay at your atrocities and the abundance of your un-Godly act towards innocent children.

|
Emboldened by regulatory inaction and indifference (which suggest tacit approval), many Nigerian banks now engage in more exploitative practices.

Its been 50 years since gaining independence from the colonial master, but the country has not found the way. With the present leadership, the country may never find the way.

Nigeria is a country in denial, and there are many in the leadership of the country who out of spite and meanness of heart are determined to make us forget MKO and June 12

As bad as things are, there’s a gathering storm that threatens to sweep away whatever may be left of our children’s future. |
|
Insufficient cross-dialectal linguistic competence can sometimes literally put the wrong food on your table. That was the experience of a Nigerian big shot who visited Atlanta recently.

Any election that will be conducted in Nigeria must meet international and acceptable standards. Anything short of that must be avoided. The time on our hand between now and when INEC planned to conduct new elections (January-April 2011) is likely too short for Nigeria to achieve the prerequisites for credible elections. |

Today, almost every street hosts a signpost informing people the land is not for sale. The thing is so gratuitously done that I am forced to wonder if the aim is really to discourage fraudsters or to advertise a well-cultivated opinion about Nigeria.

With respect to the elder statesmen involved in this national farce, none among the pro zoning and anti zoning groups, is involve in this struggle because they love Nigeria; I beg to be corrected.

Such brazen provocations that test the patience and tolerance of the overwhelmingly non-Muslim (99%) Americans are not at all in the long term interest of Muslims in America and will backfire.
|
The recent upsurge of interest in the Charles Taylor trial, prompted by the appearance of a runway model, pointed towards one major – even if age old – fact, that the West has a very patronising view of Africa’s problems.

Current events are making me to believe that the Nigerian Ballot Box is also a Pandora’s Box in Nigeria which can cause untold chaos and suffering if opened.
|
From his series of actions and body languages since he became the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigeria’s armed forces, Jonathan has continued to show that he is one naïve, weak president.
|
|
Our people must smile again, the dreams of a better Nigeria must be realised; without doubts, a possible president Atiku Abubakar is a nightmare to the realisation of these lofty dreams.
|

We hereby wish to state categorically, our dissatisfaction in all ramifications the delay and intentional if not orchestrated drama in preventing justice to take its course in a criminal prosecution that ought to have been rounded up.
