Nigeria Democracy Is For The Rich.

According to Abraham Lincoln It is the government of the people, for the people, by the people but in Nigeria Democracy is the government of the rich for the rich and by the rich, From the definition of Abraham one should be able to infer that the purpose of democracy is to build a just society where the interests of all the people are cared for rich and poor, men and women, minorities as well as the majority and the economy works for the benefit of all but in Nigeria the reverse is the case.  Democracy should be about the ordering of society to bring about justice for all but in Nigeria those who loot our common wealth are honoured with National awards why those who steal vegetation are still in prison.  If it does not work for the common good then there is so...

THE SHOOTING OF UNICAL STUDENTS BY THE COERCIVE APPARATUS OF THE STATE AT THE ORDER OF CRS COMMISSIONER FOR YOUTHS AND SPORTS; A RASCALITY OF DERAILED GOVERNMENT~Ogar, Emmanuel

Photo credit: Google.com We are saddened and stunned to say the least by the reprehensible and dishonorable act of urban psychosis of the Nigerian Army yesterday being 27th May, 2017 at Murtala Mohammed Highway Calabar by Transcorp Hotel who were dispatched to maintain tranquility and order— but rather opened fire at the protesting students that were panned by the scorching sun in U. J. Esuene stadium without food or water during the Children’s Day programme. We gathered authoritatively from various sources that the students were protesting over the alleged absconding of the money promised them by the governor of Cross River State, Prof. Ben Ayade by the Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Mr. Asu Okang. Three students were reported to have been shot with various degrees of injuries the security operative. These are harmless citizens and students for goodness sake! Having observed and assessed the issue critically, we hereby condemn in its totality this brutish and reckless a...

He swam across the boisterous and tempestuous Oron River without the fear of its deluge to acquire higher education in the famous University of Calabar— all in the quest of becoming an illustrious son of his family and the immediate society.

I was staying in room 201 in Hall5 that equally housed him. He was in the stock of the core Malabo boys whose aksions (actions) weren’t overlooked though not always reasonable as the slogan were and is, as it stance. ‘Real Malabites and Malabresses (those living in Malabo and female hostels) knew him. His adopted name, Prof. rang like church-bell. In the domain of campus entertainment, he was there to rap like Tupac. When the likes...
