Dele Agekameh: Dear youth, you can learn from Orubebe

by Dele Agekameh But is there really anything the young ones can learn from him? The fact remains that he has secured a place in the nation’s Hall of Infamy, as his display of temporary insanity on that day, was transmitted live to the whole world via satellite televisions and the ubiquitous social media. A... Read More

Dele Agekameh: Ebola is a disease of POVERTY!

by Dele Agekameh As Piot rightly observed and I agree with him, “this is a disease of poverty, of dysfunctional health systems and of distrust”. The current Ebola’s spread in West Africa is a reminder of the vast development needs that persist in some of the region’s poorest countries despite claim to rapid economic growth and... Read More

Dele Agekameh: Wild wild Nigerian soldiers

by Dele Agekameh Moreover, in the history of such incidents in this country, soldiers are known for their penchant and proclivity for violence. So it is easy to conclude that what happened that day was a well-beaten track and behavioural pattern our soldiers are known for. It has become a recurring decimal in our national... Read More

Dele Agekameh: Boko Haram – Our leaders must stop playing the ostrich

by Dele Agekameh We must try to find out why a group would suddenly decide to bear arms against the country. From my own findings, it is almost clear that the Boko Haram terrorists are engaged in a violent revolt against the perceived injustice of the political class and the aristocracy in that part of...

Dele Agekameh: The forgotten girls of Chibok

by Dele Agekameh Unfortunately, days have turned into weeks and months, and nothing tangible or cheering has been on the horizon about the girls’ return to reunite with their loved ones.

Dele Agekameh: A military in tatters and the shameless onslaught against the media

by Dele Agekameh Basically, the press exists to serve the people, not the government or any of its agents. That is why when government buries its rickety skeletons, it is the duty of the press to exhume them and showcase them as exhibits before the court of the people. It is most apt today for...

Dele Agekameh: Nigeria and the cyber frontier in crime

by Dele Agekameh Nigerians who have picked up expertise and show promise in cyber security are picked up easily by foreign countries or have joined the criminals that have ensured inclusion of Nigeria on the least of countries with the most computer fraud cases.

Dele Agekameh: Boko Haram and Nigeria’s flawed security policy

by Dele Agekameh Military operations have cleared and physically dominated the major cities in the Northeast, thereby pushing the terrorists to the fringes – the border areas. That, in itself, is a success. But it is not the entire story. These days, whether you are in London, New York, Berlin or Johannesburg, the debates and... Read More

Dele Agekameh: Boko Haram insurgency – The intelligence agencies have failed

by Dele Agekameh Some years ago, the Chief of Defence Staff of Niger Republic had intimated the Defence Headquarters in Nigeria that they arrested about 600 Nigerians who were in their custody in Niger Republic. They were allegedly sniffed out of their training camps in Niger Republic. Regrettably, the Nigerian authorities did not follow up... Read More

Dele Agekameh: Unemployment and government’s ‘soup kitchen’ alternatives

by Dele Agekameh Sometimes, when the various governments – federal, states or local governments – talk about creating jobs, I wonder about the magic wand they intend to employ to create these jobs when, in actual fact, what is on ground does not show any genuine commitment to either grow or support entrepreneurship in the...

Dele Agekameh: My niece was involved in the Immigration recruitment tragedy

Dele Agekameh: Boko Haram – Our people perish for lack of Defence structure

by Dele Agekameh The temerity of the terrorists may have been halted for now, but the recent embarrassment suffered by Gusau so soon after assuming duty as well as the unrelenting terrorists’ campaign in the North-east has again brought into focus the call for the formation of a “war cabinet” to tackle the menace of...

by Dele Agekameh Now that the Senator has pitted his political camp with the APC, an opposition party that is pulling all the stunts to seize power from the ruling PDP, it would be absurd for Abdullahi to work against his political godfather. This is enough reason to put him under the prying binoculars of... Read More

Dele Agekameh: How to rescue Borno from Boko Haram

by Dele Agekameh That has been the nature of the francophone countries in Africa, especially in the West-African sub-region. If that is the case, we should not hesitate to close all our borders with Cameroun as was done in the past. That Borno State is the founding home of the Boko Haram insurgency is no... Read More

Dele Agekameh: Kabiru Sokoto, Madalla bombings and the unanswered questions

The sect appears to have been pushed out of Maiduguri largely because of the efforts of a network of youthful informer-vigilantes fed up with the routine violence and ideology of the... Read More
