I am so much in support of restructuring of our educational sector. The level at which our educational sector deteriorated is beyond imagination and needs a very powerful, fearless and serious minded person that will totally overhaul it for the interest of the people and nation at large. That is why I doff my hat for Kaduna state governor Mallam Nasir El-rufa'i for having the guts and audacity to do what others found difficult. Where I'm not with him, is the method he applies to remedy the negative situation. But it has to be done if he's to revive the sector. In most of the states and local governments in Nigeria, primary school teaching has become a politically compensating ground for politicians' wives and relatives whenever election is won. It resulted in having half literates as teachers in most of the primary schools. This, and other factors, contributed a lot in deterioration of education in Nigeria. That's why we are educationally half-baked, just like...
By Gimba Kakanda Not long ago, I challenged attempts by some Muslims in my part of the country to smuggle religion into their activism around the killings in Palestine, and reminding them of the racial and national diversity of the key participants in the outrage. We formed dangerous support groups around Palestine and Israel, for Islam and, ironically, Christianity, respectively. Some of them didn't know that Israel isn't a Christian country and that there are Arabs, something they seem to portray as sacred race, who are Christians, some even in Israel. A number of us overemphasized "brotherhood of faith" that seemed to ridicule the advocacies of non-Muslims who had stood for the liberation of Palestine even before their parents met. I mentioned Edward Said, an Arab Christian of Palestinian descent, as outstanding voice of the people. What unsettled them really was my observation that the killings in Northeast Nigeria should be a priority for them, fellow Nigerian...
By Ahmed Ibrahim My eyes welled with tears as soon as information of the. Tragic event that happened in the matrimonial home of Bilya and His Wife maryam on Saturday. From experience I know that the family are in for a week of trouble from us. Us the noise makers in social media that majority of us celebrate sad stories but good stories are never worth our while. I was right. Before anyone can substantiate anything the poor girl was at the receiving end of the social media warriors. I tend to hold opinion different from the majority. I may be wrong. We are in a hurry to curse such that we forget that Maryam could be a. normal gentle wife who was involved in a tragic trial that no human will beat his chest and say he can't find himself in such a situation. Some people quickly concluded that It may be related to upbringing. That she is spoilt bla bla bla. I don't think that must be the issue. otherwise, the son of Umar Bin Alkhathab RTA will not commit adultery. You can...
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wish to draw attention of Nigerians to the continued harassment of our party members by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Muhammadu Buhari, for no justifiable reason. The latest needless onslaught against our party members is the plan by the APC government at the centre to incarcerate 50 members of our party before the end of this year with a view to using their arrest to deceive Nigerians that the failed anti-corruption war is still on course. The dirty job we are aware, have been handed over to the compromised anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) . Already, five members of our party have been illegally arrested and detained by EFCC without any charge preferred against them. Who the rest 45 members to be picked up are, we cannot say in the immediate. However, we are by no means scared of the persecution by the Buhari administration as we are sure that the daylight is about to ...
