Okey Ikechukwu: What Wole Soyinka really said about Buhari

by Okey Ikechukwu Prof. Wole Soyinka’s recently advertised opinion on Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential flag bearer, is that Nigerians are best advised to stick with the incumbent President and re-elect him next year. Several interpretations have been given to that intervention, including the claim that it is driven by geo-ethnic... Read More

Okey Ikechukwu: Dangote, Seplat and who next?

by Okey Ikechukwu It is the same for Seplat, except that the latter has actually taken matters well beyond where Dangote is at the moment in the same market. The company is seen as capable of meeting the prime paradigms of international standards in its operations. When is a corporate organisation expanding business frontiers,... Read More

Okey Ikechukwu: Why not share resources in Nigeria according to ‘ekiti mass’?

by Okey Ikechukwu If the United Nations (UN) wants the state with the highest number of carrying ‘ekiti’ prefixed towns to have 30% of all global support for a sustained fight against poverty, it will go to Ekiti State.

Opinion: The danger in ignoring NIMET forecast

by Okey Ikechukwu We note, for the record, that the School of Oceanography in Lagos was gobbled up by the very ocean it was established to study.

Opinion: Ndigbo – Towards a selfless leadership

by Okey Ikechukwu What needs to happen to make the South-east attract greater trade and investment? This was the central theme and question at the just concluded South East Economic Summit.

Opinion: Nigeria’s curious whodunit

by Okey Ikechukwu Which brings us to yet another matter of whether or not the Minister of Aviation took custody of the vehicles under reference and used same personally.

Okey Ikechukwu: The National Dialogue and idiotic issues

by Okey Ikechukwu One clear point is that, despite pretensions to the contrary, we are not likely to end up with ‘ethnic nationalities’ as the major conferees. It is also arguable whether, going by the position of the North and some other critical stakeholders, it will be a Sovereign National Conference. Four points are central... Read More

Okey Ikechukwu: Onyeka Onwenu, remember Remi Oyo, Ifueko

by Okey Ikechukwu Onyeka Onwenu is to offer leadership to an organisation that needs to be taken to new levels of relevance, credibility and visibility. Onyeka Onwenu’s story would most probably be very different today if she was given her due after her youth service with the Nigerian Television Authority, decades ago. Some still recall... Read More

Opinion: BPE did not grant Interstate extension

by Frank NduNdibe It is heartwarming that Ohaneze Ndigbo, as the great guardian of Igbo interests and values, not only criticised the desperation to hand over Enugu Disco to a grossly ill-prepared company but courageously asked that the reserve bidder, namely, Eastern Electric, be called upon to make the payment immediately. With the exception of... Read More

Opinion: The epidemic of first class graduates

by Okey Ikechukwu But to get back to the matter of the swarm of First Class graduates now being littered on sidewalks and street corners, it will be interesting to have someone show us the ‘academic history’ of the first class graduates for the last 12 years, including their nursery (if available), primary and secondary...
