2011: Declaration And Understanding Modern Nigeria Thu Sep, 02 2010
One thing is clear in Nigeria of today. The mere fact that a large chunk of Nigerians are more politically-conscious, talking about politics, reflecting on the past, criticizing our political blocs and gangsterism, and identifying banes of our development is a clear indication that we are close to our desired greatness.
The Chinks in IBB’s Armour  Thu Sep, 02 2010
At last, the fabled strongman of Nigerian politics, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), has thrown his hat into the ring: he has announced his aspiration to contest the 2011 Presidential Election. Before this declaration, rumours of IBB’s ambition had become a perennial hoax in Nigeria’s political grapevine: each election year since 1998, the fib spreads like wild-fire only to fizzle out just before the primaries.

Now that President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the Police and the State Security Service to investigate his wife’s alleged public misdemeanor and scolding of the executive governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi, he should know that what actually transpired at the event in Okrika transcended mere cantankerous outburst but an outright rehearsal of a pre-arranged script given to the first lady and which she had waited for the opportunity to play it out.
2011: Goodluck Jonathan Treading On Dangerous Path Sun Aug, 22 2010
It is an axiom that when one occupies an important office, he finds himself surrounded by sycophants and bootlickers who, in most cases, are not prepared to tell him the truth. The few who are willing to say the truth are either not given the chance to do so or they may be talking to deaf ears. This assertion can not be far from the truth looking at the situation in which President Goodluck Jonathan finds himself today.
Menace of Religious Fanaticism Sun Aug, 22 2010
"Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and argue with them in the best way possible. Your Lord surely knows best who has gone astray from His way, and He knows best who are the rightly guided" (Qur'an 16:125)
Challenges To Credible Elections In 2011 Wed Aug, 11 2010
Quite interestingly moved by the heated arguments over the forthcoming 2011 general elections, I have watched the unfolding events of recent and have decided to explore the greatest challenges that may hinder the conduction of credible elections that will be accepted by the common Nigerians who really are the voters. The electoral observers whether within the shores of Nigeria and outside should begin to gird up their loins to another hot event in Nigeria in just few months from now.

Beginning from this week Nigerian Muslims will join over 1.3 billion Muslims worldwide in welcoming a fasting period that will last for up to 30 days.

Reaching Success or Reaffirming Failure: The G8 Muskoka Declaration Tue Jul, 13 2010
Canadian Prime Minister and 2010 G-8 President Stephen Harper summarized the Muskoka Initiative: Maternal, Newborn and Under-Five Child Health” by exclaiming “We have been successful.” While the media has focused on this ‘success’, with the main debate criticizing the exclusion of abortion from the maternal health dialogue, following Prime Minister Harper’s refusal to fund safer abortions in developing countries, a critical issue has yet to be questioned:
10 Ways Jonathan Can Win the North Over  Tue Jul, 13 2010
The race to 2011 presidential election is becoming hotter with high-wired politics, intrigues, manoeuvring and horse-trading at the peak. And, if push comes to shove, ‘political konfo’ may come into play. The three principal actors are: the North, President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP.
Why Jonathan Should Rename EFCC Tue Jul, 13 2010
At a time when the people of Nigeria live in an ever expanding, complicated and challenging time, national agencies in the areas of security should bear names or designations that reflect instant symbol of authority, immediate sign of power and on-the-spot perception of influence.
This Is Our Moment Thu Jun, 17 2010
Nigerians have yearned, hoped and prayed for a better Nigeria. However, in this quest for a better Nigeria, there have been a few missed opportunities. Murutala Mohammed, Muhammadu Buhari and Tunde Idiagbon’s administrations, the second and “third” coming of Olusegun Obasanjo offered opportunities for a change in direction.

In as much as every Nigerian citizen who meets the constitutional requirements to contest for any position of choice is free to employ any reasonable means to canvass support from fellow compatriots, there is need to respect both inter and intra-party independence and cooperation to move Nigeria forward. The real burning issue of recent in the Nigerian politics is neither the appointment of the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) nor that of the Peoples Democratic Party
