by Uche Okorie I am not sure exactly when it happened. But it must have been surreptitious, creeping up on us ‘like a thief in the night’. I am not sure when our values became totally hollow. I vaguely recall in my childhood as well as the early part of my teenage years between the... Read More

@UcheOkorie: Lamentations for Nigeria at 54 (Y! FrontPage)

by Uche Okorie The analysis of why Nigeria at 54 is yet to attain anywhere near its full potentials, is not just a story of the circumstances of colonization, greed of the political class or oil. It goes way beyond that. To this end, this poem is just what it is-an attempt to highlight some... Read More

@Uchekorie: Can we question these men of God? (Y! FrontPage)

by Uche Okorie I have always marvelled at Organized Religion- that structured pursuit of great interest often followed with great devotion by adherents which has an eerie capacity to not just befuddle but to render logical reasoning sacrilegious. Often times in my personal life, I have been at great odds with organised religion as we... Read More

Uche Okorie: Why are we all such ethnic bigots? (Y! FrontPage)

by Uche Okorie Most people have this rubicund opinion of themselves of being fair and unbiased in their approach to issues. Of course this is at best idealistic, bias is an intrinsic part of human nature. We are the sum total of our experiences-good and bad. Experience especially when it is unsavoury can create and...

Uche Okorie: Nigerian scientists are critically endangered species (Y! FrontPage)

by Uche Okorie But for a late spurt of teenage rebellion I most probably would have been a medical doctor today or perhaps some form of scientist. You see, growing up as a teenager in the nineties in an upwardly aspiring family that belonged to the middle class or class of ‘decorated poor men’ as... Read More

Uche Okorie: This is a generation of political cowards (Y! FrontPage)

by Uche Okorie My generation is all of these things I have described and perhaps more, but has this one tragic flaw. We are political cowards. That is simply what we are. I belong to a tech savvy generation of political cowards whose crème de la crème is accomplished in many respects. Accomplished in Theatre... Read More

Uche Okorie: National Emergency on Ebola – Managing reputational risks (Y! FrontPage)

by Uche Okorie My prescription is simple-the declared emergency should also take into account the management of Ebola induced reputational risk. Why on earth would any sane able-bodied person living in an apartment block, prefer to stay tucked in bed, after hearing the fire alarm sound and seeing that his neighbours flats are on... Read More
