UNIPORT four and jungle justice in Nigeria

This is the crudest use of primeval jungle justice one can ever imagine.

Are There Nigerians to Develop Nigeria?
Nigeria is a country and its legal citizens are called Nigerians. But do we have Nigerians whose primary and total loyalty, patriotism and commitment are to Nigeria rather than to some primordial sectional, religious or ethnic groupings? Aside from the armed forces which are duty-bound to do so if necessary, how many Nigerians are prepared to lay down their lives in defence of our collective heritage - Nigeria?

Achebe; Stirring up a desirable controversy
PROF. CHINUA Achebe’s latest book titled: There was a country: A personal history of Biafra”, has expectedly stirred up an important but desirable controversy, notably from the disciples of late Pa Obafemi Awolowo. This was predictable. Achebe, true to his character will be unfazed by the insults and abuses, but will welcome criticisms. A writer of his stature should be used to all these.

The genocidal Biafran war still haunts Nigeria
The persecution of the Igbos didn't end with the Biafran conflict. Until the nation faces up to this, its mediocrity will continue
