Helen Keller was... Read More

by Ifeanyi Igbokwe Many people are waiting for motivation, believing in the myth that it kick-starts a great idea or paves way for the next big thing; they sit all day waiting for motivation, failing to realise that no time is perfect, no time could be more perfect than now.

Opinion: If Buhari returns in 2015…

by Eric Osagie If Buhari runs in 2015, he would be confirming what many of his adversaries and opponents had always suspected: That the whole merger proposition was all for the realisation of the ambition of Buhari and the ego of Bola Tinubu.

Reuben Abati: The Jonathan they don’t know

The clear danger to public affairs commentary is that we have a lot of unintelligent people repeating stupid clichés and too many intelligent persons wasting their talents lending relevance to thoughtless conclusions. “THEY” in this piece refers to all the cynics, the pestle-wielding critics, the unrelenting, self-appointed activists, the idle and idling, twittering, collective children...
