Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, venue of the award ceremony, wore its usual serene ambience. Guests and award recipients walked into the venue with measured steps to the serenading music at the background. Resplendence and posh were the aura that pervaded the entire place. Being an event put together to honour some select women, the razzmatazz and glamour were on point.

Unlike the usual "African Time" associated with most events in Nigeria, the 2021 African Women Industrialization Award ceremony, kic

“Charter Schools and their Enemies”

     Make no mistake about it.  There is a continuing war escalating between parents and those in charge of public education.  Parents want to see their children receive the best education possible, even if they have to do it themselves.  Public school officials in some cities and states would like to ma

     One of the best quotes I heard to sum up modern liberals comes from Dr. Thomas Sowell, in his description of social justice.  According to Sowell: “Envy plus rhetoric equals “Social Justice”.  Think of this the next time someone (or something) gets ‘cancelled’ by the ‘woke’ generation.  People are sooooo envious of an

It was a thing of joy as the newly built NDDC headquarters situated on the Eastern bye-pass axis of Rivers State was commissioned by the President and Commander-in- Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari.

The above expression was contained in a statement circulated to journalists by Citizens Quest for Truth Initiative CQTI, a non-governmental and an accountability advocacy organization.

It seems that I am lucky to be a mature settled married man. But, there are many other men who seek sex among consenting adults. And, there’s the rub – “consenting adults”. Actually how does a guy get consent without such actions being considered “sexual harassment”? A lady friend of mine, a platonic friend, told me it was considered sexual harassment to tell a woman she has beautiful hair. I was surprised at my ignorance. On many occasions, total strangers, women mind you, have told my red-head

The Republican Party is dead. Trump killed it. I wondered how 74 million Americans could vote for a dishonest, racist liar for president. I know the popular Republican political strategy is telling  lies. It has been very effective but Trump has mastered that ‘big lie’ skill beyond expectations which would have made Hitler proud.

Despite Trump’s  complete

He wound up having his hair cut (the source of his st
