» China Bashing & Foreign Investments in Africa
By Paul Adujie | Published 07/19/2010 | Special Features | Rating:

Why is China being criticized for having no political views, on local matters in African nations in which the Chinese are making some inroads? Put conversely, why does the United States accept money from China to finance American public debts without a whimper or murmur about China’s Human Right records or and Chinese non-adherence to the fine ideals of democracy, freedom, liberty and the rule of law?

 

President Obama visited China and he forgot or neglected to badger and chastise China’s record on Human Rights, the rule of law, due process, democracy and inequalities etc even as America demand that excoriate and badger African governments over Human Rights, the rule of law, due process, democracy and inequalities etc!

» Any Good Luck for President Jonathan in 2011 Election?
By Yushau Shuaib | Published 07/12/2010 | Nigerian Affairs | Unrated
It is doubtful if he will emerge as PDP Presidential Candidate going by the threats of some Niger Delta leaders like Chiefs Edwin Clark and Albert Horsfall daring the Northerners for the post in provocative postures. It is a fact that PDP governors who did not accord respect to Jonathan when he was Vice President and while acting as commander-in-chief during Yar’Adua’s hospitalisation are not likely to endorse his candidature for the election.
» Stupid Kaita, Useless Eagles
By Hakeem Babalola | Published 06/21/2010 | News | Unrated

I can even forgive Godwin Odiye whose own goal against Tunisia in the 1978 world cup in Lagos prevented us from hoisting our flag but not this Sani Kaita whose senseless behaviour helped Greece beat Nigeria.

» BP Equals Big Polluter Equals British Pensioners = Big Problem=Bankruptcy Probability
By Paul Adujie | Published 06/16/2010 | Special Features | Rating:

It is quite easy to imagine, what BP or any other oil corporate giant would have done, were the spewing in the Gulf of Mexico to have occurred in a less powerful nation, with less powerful and assertive government, scientists, environmentalists, press and media and vibrant public such as we have here in the United States. There have been vigorous reactions throughout the USA, and reactions have not been limited to the Gulf Coast states. Denouncing BP has been by every American and as such, it has been an equal opportunity event.

» The Statue of Liberty
By Brenda Farrar-Ejemai | Published 06/15/2010 | American Politics | Unrated

It is hard to believe that after my many years of schooling (secondary and post) the following facts about the Statue of Liberty were never taught. Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people including myself have visited the Statue of Liberty over the years yet I'm unable to find one person who knows the true history behind the Statue...amazing!

» BARACK OBAMA AND THE POLITICS OF CYNICISM
By Ozodi Thomas Osuji Ph.D | Published 06/9/2010 | Editorial | Unrated

This essay says that Barack Obama is the typical American politician who practices the politics of cynicism, telling the people one thing and doing another; it says that, as such, we must evaluate him as we evaluate other cynical politicians and not allow ourselves to be beguiled by what on the surface seems his well meaning political idealism. This man has disappointed those who naively believed that he is a different breed of politician.

» FORGIVENESS AND IGBOS
By Ozodi Thomas Osuji Ph.D | Published 06/9/2010 | Religion | Rating:

This essay is written out of exasperation from reading about Igbos always dwelling on the wrong that was done to them in the past; it asks Igbos to do what Christians are expected to do: forgive the past and love in the present and in doing so experience peace and happiness, the gifts of God.

» To the Leaders of G-8 Nations and their African Counterparts:
By Emakoji Ayikoye | Published 06/5/2010 | International Politics | Unrated

To avert any possibility of terrorists infiltrating into Africa and making it a breeding ground for terrorists, I ask all African leaders to now address our poverty rather than impoverish our people through their thievery, looting and corruption. I also ask the West and the leaders of G-8 nations to take the issue of African poverty very seriously. Tackling Africa’s poverty and providing opportunities for Africans at home is a powerful way to fight against the possibility of any kind of terrorism movement in the continent. If Africa continues to be neglected and suppressed, there is no way the level of poverty there would not eventually attract terrorist recruitment there.
