Let The Wixked Try By Hon. Chinedu Nkwonta

I was woken up late last night by a phone call from a close friend I have not heard from for a while. This guy got a text that had some news, some bad news about the Governor that had my name to it. I became curious to know what it was, crazy talk of the insane, the same desperate old group and their desperate moves, a cheap move to sow a seed of mistrust. After my explaining the motive behind their evil intensions, my friend saw the cheap joke in the entire rubbish. I had not heard from my man for some months previous, so at least, the frustrated miscreants got us talking again.

Epistle On Diezani Allison-Madueke By Michael Egbejumi-David



I have met the former Minister of Petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke before.  It was about three years ago in an Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston.  Unfortunately for me, former US president, George W Bush Jnr was also at the event.  Everyone – including my woman! - rushed off to have their picture taken with Bush.  Not me.  I kept my eyes on Diezani.  In the end she gave me her card and asked me to call on her whenever I was in Nigeria. Diezani Alison-Madueke
In Nigeria, I ferried myself to her imposing office after a few unreturned phone calls.  It was, ‘come today; come tomorrow’ until I ran out of steam and returned to the UK.  That was the last time I collected a card from any visiting Nigerian person.  But even at that, I’ve always had a soft spot for Mrs Alison-Madueke.

EffortsTo Stem Tide of Gun Violence In US Was Frustrated



Following the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College, a “smoldering” (as one commentator put it) President Obama gave a revealing speech — a clarification, a culmination, of much that had come before. “[W]hat’s become routine,” he said, “of course, is the response of those who oppose any kind of common-sense gun legislation. Right now, I can imagine the press releases being cranked out: ‘We need more guns,’ they’ll argue. . . . Does anybody really believe that?” “This is a political choice we make,” he claimed, “to allow this to happen every few months in America.”
The president’s frustration, after delivering a sad series of similar speeches, is understandable. But his argument is still indefensible.
