How public-serving is the reintroduction of the N65 ATM fee?Saturday, August 30, 2014
It is unfortunate that in a matter of hours, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, would have made good its earlier notice of reintroducing charges on ATM withdrawals.

The fuss that attends a party living out its sloganSunday, February 23, 2014
I hope you wouldn't mind this attempt to exhume issues surrounding the engagement of a U.S. firm by APC to help it win future elections.

The Dividend Of The Court Of Public Opinion Trial Of NNPCSunday, February 9, 2014
So overwhelmed are we by the non- remittance of some petrol-dollars to the Federation Account between January 2012 to June 2013 that we've failed to spare a fraction of our time to consider what NNPC must be doing in the wake of its exposure.

Whose national dialogue is it?Sunday, January 19, 2014
When I learnt of what they resolved from their one day Youth Round Table Dialogue that had the theme: Our Stake, Our Representation and the National Conference, I hurriedly checked to know if the percentage of the population of Nigerian youths had deflated overnight. But to my dismay, it was still ... |
Assertions the community development efforts of corps members makeSunday, January 12, 2014
Someone should please tell governors and local government chairmen that the ground for them to celebrate the sinking of boreholes has been removed from them. Not that sinking of boreholes shouldn't be a part of their agenda nor should they take their minds off providing it for their people. The poin ... |
