  Post by Ebis Okpeke It bands my heart whenever I try to decipher the modus behind the negligence and almost absolute shift of concentration from local production economy to foreign and internationally controlled economy by Nigerian Leaders and Africa at large. Nigeria can be prescribed as the most blessed black African country with so much human and natural resources,   from crude oil, water,   to cocoa,   to palm trees,   to gold, to agricultural products like yam, cassava , cocoyam  , plantains , fish farming,  to other economic trees like mahogany,   rubber trees etc that if given the needed attention can create not only jobs enough for unemployed Nigerian Youths but can accommodate Youths from other sister Nations and Countries in Africa. It will interest you that each of these natural resources can be processed into so many finished goods from it, like the cassava for  instance, can  produce locally made garri, starch,   ...

Written by Solomon Akpeli INTRODUCTION  Nigeria may be the giant of Africa but is currently being dwarfed by many African nations. The main reason is attributable to its reliance on otherwise unreliable resources. It is understood by observers that, the Nigerian public service space is full of incompetence and at best, powered by retention memories. This paper -though an abridged version; intend to discuss the main issues and attempt to proffer simple solutions that when applied, will yield the much desired results. The paper is subdivided into Four Parts; CONSTITUTIONALITY   Nigeria operates a Presidential Constitution. The President appoint his Ministers and/ then forward their names to the Senate for Confirmation. Note that, the appointment process is a presidential ONLY responsibility. The Senate ought not to, and should NOT be involved in anyway, shape, form or phantom.   ADMINISTRATION  The Federal Government is the Leadership tier of government. It is expected...

  In the early hours of Monday, January 23rd, it came to light that 2 members of the Toru-Angiama community had been murdered by Fulani herdsmen. The details of the activities that led to this are still unfolding. Last week, 2 members of the community were held against their will by these herdmen at gun point. Again, the sequence of events that led to that are unknown. How do nomadic herdmen roam into a community with their herd, and begin to terrorize the community? These Fulani nomads have to be restrained. If brute force, or even the government seems to be turning a blind eye to their attrocities, then the people need to collectively band together to hit them where it hurts - their main resource, cattle. The only reason they are venturing all the way to the south with their cattle is because there is a market for them. If the south can band together to gradually begin avoiding trading with them for their beef, it can be the catalyst to addressing this social ill of Fulani herdsm...

 Post by Ayibaefiye God'stime Ambayama Dear Bayelsans,  1. It seems like only yesterday that I had the honour and pleasure to address the State at the dawn of a new year. All too soon, another 365 days have passed.  2. It was an eventful year that tested us in diverse ways, but we have arrived at the start of a brand new one. I am persuaded that He who has brought us this far will faithfully help us throughout this new year. 3. I am aware the challenges we confronted in 2022 will not disappear overnight. But because God has kept us to see this day, I am filled with fresh hope about the possibilities of better days to come.  4. I recall that for several weeks across October and November in 2022, our State was inundated by flooding of unprecedented proportions. The devastation that occurred turned our State into an Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Camp. Critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, schools and hospitals were severely destroyed and degraded. No ...
