By Segun Imohiosen | Published 02/7/2010 | Nigerian Affairs | Unrated

In time like this when natural disasters of an unusual propensity and magnitude hit people in different parts of the world, it calls for caution on the part of other nations who are not directly affected. There is a very thin cord or line that divides or separates these countries from each other. And that simply translates to mean that what affects A on that side can affect B today on the other side considering the geographic enclave in which they all subsist and exist.

» Shadow Government

By Chinedu Vincent Akuta | Published 02/7/2010 | Nigerian Affairs | Unrated

Damn our “leaders” if they like it, damn them if they don’t, the people have spoken.

I ask these multi-barreled questions because the reasons of Iwuoha’s publications glaringly betray their falsity, irresponsibility and moral cheapness.
