The Road To A Safer Future
Nigeria is the giant of Africa. Nigeria is great. Yes, great: this nation of multi ethnic groups with ernomous human resources and talented individuals in every field: academics, sports, entertainment and music. Nigeria is a nation gifted and endowed with abundant natural resources: oil, limestone, steel and iron ore among others.
But did you know that Nigeria is also a nation of intactable sychopancies?, a nation on the brink of despondency? At independence, our founding fathers had big plans for this country. However, 58 years after independence, Nigeria is still tagged "a developing country", trailing behind her Asian counterparts i.e Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. These are countries that lack the essential mineral reources Nigeria possess; yet are more developed than Nigeria.
Recently, a reporter with a famous television station interviewed some children in urban ghettos in Lagos. She thought their greatest need was toys and the likes: she was swerved! These children wanted to attend schools and turn out literate Nigerians!
The only way to set Nigeria back on the path of sustained democracy for a safer future lies in priortizing intellectual education over mediocrity. In Mandela's words, ''education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world'' however, Nigeria has a nation, in recent times celebrate mediocrity. We have the Big brother Nigeria show in which winners are awarded millions of naira, while we have children from poor families hustling for and striving to be educated. We also need to strive for a nation free from the societal menances of bribery, corruption money laundering and other related offences and this lies in strenghtening EFCC, ICPC and other related agencies in the discharge of their constitutional duties. It is important at this juncture to give kudos to the judiciary for being unbiased in the trial and conviction of the ex-governors of Taraba and Plateau states for 14 years imprisonement each for financial crimes.
So what is the deal? Repositioning Nigeria in all ramitifications is the surest road to a safer future.

What Ails Nigeria? Ethnic Diversity Is A Strenght
Recent happenings In Nigeria has firmly established the fact that an unofficial feud and contest for power; especially governmental domination is on-going in Nigeria, among the ethnic groups, particularly among the three major tribes: Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.
So Nigeria is a federal state. Fiscal federalism in practice if you ask me: the North seeking political domination of Nigeria since, the Igbos clamouring for secession and the Yorubas always undecided, dithering between choices. As such, these three ethnic have found it difficult to work together as one. The Mid-West and North-East particularly Benue, Borno and Plateau states have been plauged by terrorist attacks and the newest of such attacks is the invasion by the Fulani herdsmen of some communities in Benue, Plateau, Ondo and others. These are herdsmen who will invade a farm, kill the farmers and their neighbours and feed their cattle with the crops on the farm. How many cattle can quantify the worth of a human life?
The Igbos on their part are not relenting since they lost the Biafran war of 1967 led by Col. Ojukwu against the Federal republic of Nigeria in the ultimate showdown: No Victor, No Vanquished. Since 1967, the Igbos have been clamouring for an Independent country and as such, have refused to believe they are Nigerians and working together with other tribes for the good of the country. The Igbos also claim that environmental degradation and ecological imbalance caused by oil spillage in the Niger-Delta area is one of the basis for secession. They are the "geese" that lays the "golden egg" which is fried and eaten by the big men in Abuja. It is tagged "National cake", just for the connected, greedy and corrupt few.
The Yorubas on their part are not united as an ethnic group, talkless of working with other ethnic groups. Frequent feud and beefs among traditional and political leaders is the order of the day. So what then ails Nigeria? Ethnic diversity? No! Ethnic diversity is a strenght!
So what is the deal? All ethnic groups in Nigeria should know and believe that Nigeria is bigger than any tribe no matter its demography or population. Nigeria comes first and as such, all ethnicgroups should cast aside all grievances and join hands together to move Nigeria forward. Change Nigeria. Change begins with me.

Remebering 9ice's "Economy": Naira Has No Gender!
My grandmother is a woman in her late sixties. Smart and observant. So recently, we spent time analysing how the economy was in her youthful days and how it is presently in my own youthful age. Clearly, there is a huge dichotomy between the past and the present. Gone are those days when everything was so cheap. Now, even garri is gold.
You remember 9ice's economy? His hit single in which he lamented over the sorry state of Nigeria's economy occasioned by the flunctuation of naira against dollar in the exchange market and the government's feeble effort at reviving the economy?
So what is with the high cost of living in Nigeria? Our over dependence on crude oil is a major factor that has led to an exhorbitant rise in the cost of living. Gone are those days before oil was discovered in Olobiri, Delta state when agriculture was the main revenue generator for the country. Now, the falling price of crude oil in the world market occasioned by the development of other sources of power i.e solar energy has clearly shown the need for Nigeria to go back to agriculture and position the nation for self sufficiency. It is important to note that agriculture provides most raw materials for manufacturing industries and companies.
Nigeria is an import dependent country. Few things are being produced locally. Even rice which is the most consumed staple food in the country is being imported from Thailand. Nigeria has the green vegetation and abundant land that will massively support agriculture. If you travel along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway or any other expressway in Nigeria, you will be surprised to see a vast of uncultivated fertile land sprouting richly growing weeds.
So what is the deal? Nigerians should act on the call of diversification by the Federal government of the economy from import dependency and crude oil dependency to agriculture. When the economy is diversified, Nigerians will no longer suffer form the high cost of living as foodstuffs and other commodities will be available for purchase massively. Then the economy will attain the vibrant state it was before the discovery of crude oil.
