Art Imitating Life: LIFE ACCORDING TO HER

By Adesuwa Iluobe

She felt herself humming to her alarm tone...it wasn't the shrill kind of jump-off-your-bed alarm tone, it was "mighty to save" by Michael W. Smith a gospel artist, singing passionately.."Savour HE can move the mountains..." no better way to start the morning. Groaning she rolled over to the edge of her bed and tiredly hit the dismiss option on her phone...it was 4.45am, she still had 15minutes to prayer time and she drifted off to more sleep.

Better Nigeria: AS WE REMEMBER.

By Nnamdi Nwachukwu

On the 15th of January 1970, after three and a half years of civil war and rioting, the Biafran troops surrendered their arms and thus brought to an end an era of killings and counter killings. A dark age came to a close and a period that threatened the very existence of our Nigerian nation came to an abrupt halt. The Armed Forces Remembrance day was set aside to commiserate in memory of the fallen soldiers. Annually, The President and national leaders hold short events in honor of army troops that lost their lives during the period of bloodshed. We celebrate, eulogize and remember the men who fought to keep the unity of Nigeria preserved. We salute the memories of these men!

Better Nigeria: Much Ado About ‘National Dialogue’


By Kema Ufelle

Having spent the better half of my productive years in a seemingly endless search for the proverbial greener pastures, I would consider myself, albeit ashamedly, as somewhat of an authority on matters bordering on comparative analysis of best living conditions among countries of the world.

While in search for this utopian good life, I often pause to realize the unique crop of creation we really are as Nigerians. This uniqueness has lulled me into the irresistible conclusion that we are indeed the happiest conurbation of persons on earth. The headlines that attract our collective vents of passion never seem to hesitate in taking their turns. We, as it were, seem to solidify our ties as a nation when we have these ‘opportunities’ to express ourselves in heated arguments over these ‘national issues’, as we endlessly argue during every encounter we have with both friends and foes.
Today it is ‘fuel subsidy’; tomorrow it is ‘occupy Nigeria’ and the next day, it is ‘ASUU Strike’. The streets will go agog; the newspaper-stands will turn to policy making centres; the apolitical will suddenly become political juggernauts while overnight, the ignorant will become self-appointed road-side policy instructors.
