James Ibori Quagmire

After the release of former governor of delta state James Ibori, there was a beehive in delta state celebrating his return to the mainstream society and a lot of controversies have being adduced. Before this incident, it is no longer news Nigerians have a dearth of character. It is no surprise Donald Trump during his campaign said a lot of things about how we treat corrupt politicians.

If We Are Not Humans; What Are We?

I was with a friend the other day in the suburb of Lagos, we got into a commercial vehicle and took off, unknowingly that the driver didn't count the number of passengers that alighted at the bus-stop and the ones that came in, so he just said in general " Owo mi da" to those who just came in. Everybody else paid except for a lady by my side, who came in together with me. When I asked for her fare, she simply told me she has paid the driver. I have being there with her all the while and I know she didn't give him a dime and didn't even make a pass at him to indicate she is familiar with the driver. and that was how she rode on a free bus to her destination.

Air Pollution In Port-Harcourt

TROUBLE IN PORTHARCOURT CITY!! Please, all PHC resident: Have you all noticed  that thick black soothes are all over Portharcourt - even inside the homes- the sole of your feet is very black and we inhale quantities everyday. Early in the morning your cars are all covered with the same thick soothes.  Nobody seem to be saying anything about it.  Please, my people, what is going on? Could it be that a company is messing up the environment so massively and threatening our survival and we don't seem to know and care?  I am worried. Let's push this until it gets to the appropriate quarters for answers and solutions

A Paradox Of Value

A nation that will always get out of doldrums will always invest massively in human capacity and education of the young ones.Education has always being the key to success ,that’s what our parents told us decades ago,but as it stands today, parents are having a rethink on this key of a success thing of education ! This has been indicated over the way government and corporate organization treat education with disdain and levity. Nigeria needs to fund the education sector to provide human capital to develop other sectors of the economy. How can Nigeria become one of the best 20 economies in the world by 2020 Buhari’s administration has shown a disdain for education . 2016 budget earmarked a paltry amount for this crucial sector.From N306.3bn in 2011, to N400.15bn in 2012, to N426.53bn in 2013, to N493bn in 2014, to 492bn in 2015, to N369bn in 2016, Nigeria’s most important sector remains underfunded. While this budget is for the federal level alone, it is still less t

Still On The Hike On Data Prices

I keep saying it , that the government of this country does not want its citizenry to be learned. If not, how can one really explain the hike on data prices when the NCC should be looking for ways to reduce it. They have frustrated education to the extent that the common man can no longer send their kids to school, now they want to suppress our right to freedom of association using the internet since they could not pass the social media bill.  The effect of the hike would have been disastrous , owing to the fact that a lot of our libraries are either dilapidated or struggling to function properly. Where do we go to read since it was said Nigerians no longer read books; the internet of course. So what happens if their is a hike on prices of data? The common man is blinded, and like a leper he is lead to fall into a deep hole he will not be able to return. This is the reason everybody should take to the street and protest for the reduction of data price, because in the modern world
