The Freedom of Information Act may not work for now especially in the political sector. This is because there is no information available to share with the public. None of the over 100 political parties have current information literature and educational literature that contains basic information about their parties. There is hardly any campaign for membership except during elections. Many have no functional offices, staff and websites. Most of their officials in charge of information do not…

Our Lord Jesus Christ today emphasized that it will be DIFFICULT for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. (Matt 19:23). He practically demonstrated this with a rich young man (Matt 19: 16-22). In explaining this, many pastors and priests assert that this passage has nothing to do with material wealth perhaps in order to defend themselves and their rich patrons. Do you know why it is difficult? Rich means having more than enough. Poor means not having enough or not having at all. You know…

There were over a hundred political parties that were clamouring to be registered before the last general elections. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was magnanimous enough to register a good number of them (over 60). Out of this large number, only five were able to win seats at governorship level in the general election. Since then, the other so called political parties have gone into oblivion. Most of their offices are obsolete and locked up. Hardly any of them is…

Experience has shown that marriages built on wealth, physical appearances, romance, family, class, power, child bearing and their sexes usually collapse in the absence of these. Most of those who proclaim they marry out of love do not have full understanding of what love means in the marriage context. They may not know that love in marriage is unconditional. Those who do not see it as such declare love today and renounce it tomorrow.…

Children’s rights should be protected please! There are people who enslave others especially children placed under their care in the name of a house girl or houseboy. Housekeeping should be a fully paid employment taken by adults. This will bring dignity to the job as is done in civilized countries. Couples who cannot afford it can swap responsibilities between themselves as housewives and house husbands. This is the…

According to certain religious beliefs, God’s presence in a human being is in the soul. Perhaps this is why the soul is said to be pure and immortal. The human being is also said to be a component of the body and the soul. In this case, the body comprises the physical and the mental categories. There is also the belief that there is life after life. In the second life, the righteous will go…

The advertisement in most national dailies some years ago entitled “Can Buhari be trusted to stop Repression?” showed that some highly placed people were long afraid of General Buhari. The Buhari phobia can be diagnosed in a particular group of people- those haunted by the past. His administration, to many morally analytical minds, was one that brought sanity into the country. But to the morally bankrupt and lethargic "indisciplinarians", it precipitates nightmares.

Even though…

Despite the denial from Dr Alex Ekwueme, former Nigerian Vice President and one of the founders of the party, zoning the Nigerian presidency to the north in 2011 wouldn't have favoured PDP in the current dispensation.I am sure when doing this, whether written or oral, PDP never thought a President could die in office. They didn't also consider that other political parties could win in the subsequent presidential elections. More over, by so doing, PDP would force other…
