by Sonala Olumhense Hopefully, Washington has a solution for leadership indifference and hypocrisy. Otherwise this week’s summit has only a relevance span of one month. Tomorrow in Washington, DC, the United States hosts the US-Africa Summit, a three-day meeting with Africa’s leaders. I hope the event is a tremendous success. I am not sure how... Read More

Opinion: Do the Nigerian youth really have a future?

by Ayodeji Somefun I want to believe there are some heavy weights behind this case who will really love to see that man rot in jail. I wonder why people like Maina (the Pension Funds Thief), Farouk Lawan (The bribed Legislator) and many others who have clearly stolen public funds are not being awarded such treatments.

Orji Uzor Kalu: Almost every Nigerian is plagued by the curse of sycophancy

by Orji Uzor Kalu This is the aspect that bothers me. Sycophancy, praise-singing and hagiography appear to have been institutionalized in our present-day Nigeria.
