NIGERIA REQUIRES INSTITUTIONAL DECONTAMINATION NOW
- John Egbeazien Oshodi, Ph.D., DABPS, FACFE .
Traditionally individuals who are in some sort of distress usually get some form of professional help. Within the last six months no reasonable mind will argue against the reality that the national psyche is markedly in distress.
As we all know a people’s wellbeing is only as good as its national health.

There is no doubt this unsettled dilemma is in one way or the other distracting the entire populace.

Nigeria: Time for Leadership in Constitutionalism and Good Governance in Africa
-
Franklin Otorofani, Esq.
"Tony Blair’s two-pronged assessment provides a fitting backdrop to this presentation on the current state of affairs in our nation. It was delivered at a time the nation is searching for leadership from our elected and appointed leaders to deal with political exigencies at home. It therefore couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. These exigencies have, however, called to serious question Nigeria’s leadership at home thus hinting at Blair’s concerns about the nation’s ability to fulfill her potentials.

MACABRE DANCE OF NUTTY BOLA TINUBU AT THE FUNERAL CEREMONY OF DIPO DINA IN IJEBU-ODE
- Hon. Josephine Olatomi Soboyejo .
This writer watched with consternation the macabre dance of the “NUTTY POLITICIAN” displayed at the funeral ceremony of Otunba Dipo Dina at Ijebu-Ode on Friday, February 12, 2010. I listened attentively to the spoken words of a man who pretends to be a democrat, two times Governor of the richest State in the South West of Nigeria; a man of low heritage who by adoption became the son of an influential Iya-oloja (market woman leader) whose name she bears to lay claim to the State he governed. I am talking of no other man but Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
