Uduaghan and the vermins

By Chioma Ugbechie Tuesday, September 27, 2011

British politician, John Bright, now late, once wrote of Abraham Lincoln in the Cincinnati Gazette: “He was like a waiter in a large eating house where all the bells are ringing at once; he cannot serve them all at once and so some grumblers are to be expected”.

After the noise, let’s talk Salami

By Ikenna Emewu Saturday, September 03, 2011

I can’t remember the last time before the past two weeks I felt so bad and dejected about the attitude of some Nigerians towards sanitizing the nation. For about two weeks, some clan of Nigerians who we would have taken as serious minded and a glimmer of hope that would later illuminate the dark horizons of this clime banded and decided to act like brigands.

OBJ and IBB: Spot the difference!

By AKIN ALOFETEKUN Saturday, September 03, 2011

I had wanted to use “Generals Also Cry” as the title of this article before I remembered that I once nursed the ambition to be a soldier. I liked the power and authority they command. It wasn’t like I had so much of a choice anyway. I grew up watching them prancing all over the place, like they owned the entire universe.
