Mere queuing up, orderly or peaceful voting, or absence of thugs does not guarantee the election of a credible leader.’’ As stated elsewhere, it is possible to have a seemingly free election where voters queue up and vote in an orderly and peaceful manner yet the balloting could be fraught with fraud. There are many cases where in this country, candidates have imported voters from other states or where desperate candidates have paid…

The Igbos have not stopped telling whoever cares to listen that they are being marginalised in the political affairs of Nigeria because one of their own has not been elected as the country’s president since the end of the civil war. They have wrongly been interpreting this to mean that they have not been fully reabsorbed into the country and that the other tribes hold a distrust of them.
With the conclusion of all the…

The jury is out on whether the wind of change blowing through the Arab world can get to Nigeria. If it does, as some politicians think, it will not be to overthrow dictatorship, for no matter how imperfectly Nigeria is governed, it is not a dictatorship in the classical Arab sense. Will it then overthrow democracy if it blows through here, for what else is there to overthrow anyway? That is also unlikely, for the Arab revolts are not against imperfect…

Both Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidates of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) respectively, were wrong to have reacted negatively to the admonition given by Mallam Adamu Ciroma suggesting that only a united and morally superior opposition could unseat the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The CPC said disdainfully it would compare notes with Ciroma only after the April…

I am not a regular reader of Capital Matters, Uche Ezechukwu’s weekly column, in the Daily Sun. But I read his two-part article of Febraury 7 and 14, entitled: “Now, the swindle.”
In all my adult life, I have never read anything as callous as Ezechukwu’s impression of Bianca Ojukwu, wife of Igbo icon, Ikemba…

Hours after we wrote the column that literally sent Professor Attahiru Jega back to school, the man appeared before the Senate and brandished his learning tools and a bundle of newly acquired certificates via the exhibition of raw intellect which methinks came through as a result of a quick learning process inherent in the man.
According to reports, Professor Jega had appealed to the senators to remove the issue of voter…

Minister of Finance, Mr. Olusegun Aganga’s recent statement that importation of goods that have local substitutes remain banned, ordinarily, should be a cause for great cheer for Nigerian manufacturers.
It is an interjection capable of re-building the confidence of indigenous manufacturers who are constantly buffeted by unfair…

It has been appointed unto man to work. By the sweat of his brow, he shall earn his bread, says the Holy Book. Someone once said that to play is typical of children while work is synonymous with adults. If you think deeply, you will discover that an average adult spends most of his entire life on earth, working.
The fact is that an adult must work, whether he works for somebody or himself, work, he must. If then, an adult must work…

This is a very dangerous season on the political terrain. A most deadly virus of rascality has broken loose in the land and spreading like wild fire. Experts on such matters are alarmed that not even the highest office in the land is immune from this corrossive virus that preys ferociously on civility and courtesy. Their evidence is the recent gross deterioration in the quality and decency of presidential utterances. However, I gather that the…

It is of course beneath Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president and army general, to be afraid of his Ogun State political opponents. This is not the fear the headline is referring to. His Ogun enemies, chief among whom is Governor Gbenga Daniel, do not frighten him one bit. He sees himself as more than their match, and he is neither willing to compromise with them nor willing to have peace on any other terms but his own. He has been at daggers drawn with…

THE Judiciary which is supposed to be a sacred cow has of recent become a punching bag in the hands of political actors and public commentators alike. This does not portray a good omen for this country, particularly now that the general election is fast approaching. A country that rubbishes its judiciary is calling for chaos and anarchy. The judiciary to my understanding is the last hope of the ordinary man. The moment that hope is…

Pask many a Nigerian what it would take to turn her country around, and you’re likely to get this answer: “Only God can solve the problems of this country.” The evidence so far is that God isn’t impressed. A people with the extraordinary natural resources and variety of human talent that Nigeria boasts has no reason to bother God for…

LIFE largely drives its beneficiaries according to their inclinations. The interrelationship between transcendent life and the finite bits of a person’s inherent idiosyncrasies therefore presents, as well as represents, both the person’s challenges in life and his responses to such stimuli.
These admixtures which can hardly apply in equal proportions amongst people explain why two people who ordinarily could be seen as sharing the same physical experiences and relatively the same…

This week I wanted to write on Cancer as part of the celebration of World Cancer Day being observed every 4th of February; however I shelved the idea till next week in order to discuss erectile problems. Health Interactive Column last week featured ‘Weak erection.’ Although I gave a detail description of the problem, likely causes and remedy, the entire of last week, my GSM number appearing on the page was inundated…
