AN OPEN REPLY TO KEN EMEAKAYI RE: OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR WILLIE OBIANO.

The reckless vituperations of the perpetual factional Chairman of a disorganised party, PDP would have been completely ignored by the hierarchy of our great party APGA, but as the saying goes if bad
precedence is allowed to stand, it confuses the vulnerable.
The man Ken Emeakayi is renowned for causing confusion mostly within their already confused and frustrated political assembly. A man that has thrived in controversies since his venture into politics.
It is easy to understand why he is keen to wipe sentiments considering that PDP hawks have lost power at the centre, they have all retired back to the State now and this open letter by Ken Emeakayi is a clear signal of intentions from this mad group, the PDP.

RE: PDP MOVES TO REGAIN CONTROL OF ANAMBRA

We read with utter amusement the moves by a faction of the disorganised and disillusioned PDP in Anambra State led by Chief Tony Nwoye to reform and take over the realms of governance in our
dear State. It is amusing clearly from the point that PDP still has not come to terms with its demise, not just in the entire nation but mostly in the South East and Anambra in particular.

As we pity Chief Tony Nwoye and his pocket of followers, it is important that we in the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA remind him that APGA as a political party saved Ndi Anambra from the complete and utter embarrassment that they had thrown Anambra during the turbulent periods that PDP was in charge of this State.

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL SHOPPING ON E-COMMERCE IN NIGERIA

With e-commerce integration into Facebook and plans in place for other social networks, brands have seen the need to adjust their social media marketing strategies to accomodate this trend.

But what does this giant leap say about the future of e-commerce in Nigeria?

Over time social media has become a significant tool for marketers. Companies use the visual characteristics of social network to attract fans, promote images of their products, and create viral campaigns in hope to influence consumers purchasing decisions.

The shop now button on Facebook for instance radically transforms marketing as we know it by compressing the traditional funnel of awareness to purchase.

Nigeria struggles with a government of “body language”

                  

By Oshiokpekhai Utu-Orbih

As the administration of General Mohammed Buhari suddenly draws close to the  end of its honeymoon (first 100 days in office), it is becoming clearer that Nigeria  is threading a new part of nationhood. Technically, the new pattern of governance is not entirely new, but the creepy circumstances are quietly creeping into the National subconscious culture. It is gradually gaining acceptance amongst those who are caught up in the band wagon of collective amnesia. It is definitely
not a constitutional democracy; not a diarchy; not the usual military rule by  Decrees, and but by all ramifications, a convincing government of “Body In the run up to the 2015 Presidential elections, Buhari had told Nigerians that he was now a refurbished civilian – a converted democrat who believed in multiparty democracy. Nigerians believed. Powered by the demonization of the Jonathan
Administration, the change Campaigners flooded the Nigeria with the message of change. The word “Jonathanian” was introduced into the National lexicon by Mallam Nasir El-Rufai (now the Kaduna State governor). “Clueless” became the most shared term both in the print and social media.

RETURNS ON INVESTMENT IN EARLY YEARS EDUCATION IN NIGERIA

By Gabriel Bright Dumaka, member of Senate of University College London (UCL) Institute of Education and and early years Education Specialist as well as a member of London Center for Leadership and learning.

 

Introduction

The author of this paper comes from the Early Years education background and draws his analogy from numerous established findings that prove that “returns on investments in early years education of children is far greater than many other sectors. This paper therefore makes a case that Nigeria will maximize their potential for greatness through a sustained strategic long term planning and implementation of an Early Years Education policy. There is evidence to show that such a project would translate to gains in so many areas.  It argues that the society as a whole would be far stronger as a cohesive and leading force if this is made a priority project undertaken by the stakeholders responsible for the communities.
