TELL HIS EXCELLENCY - BY John Chizoba Vincent

When you get to Aso Rock Help me inform his Excellency that I do not dislike him so much, just four   things he  made made me hate him: His change has change my boxers It made me change the Green Boxers   that Maria bought for me and now put on   the Black dusty one abandoned many years ago. His policies has taken all the yams in my   barns and left the place empty with scars To remind me of when I was who I was In the past of my past with a future of it. He allowed hidden hands the right to build   massive barns in a far land like a proud   possessors of big bags yet they have nothing but revival of pains hidden in people' pride.

Our racing horses are at the Aijalon valley dancing to echoe...

One will not be wrong to say that ever since crude oil was discovered and subsequently exported in commercial quantity, the destiny of Nigeria has been tied to it. This is because there is a positive relationship between the price of oil in the global market and the Nigerian economy. When the price soars, we enjoy and, if otherwise, we suffer. This is a very disheartening reality that we have come to accept but why is this so? Let’s go down memory lane a bit. Prior to the discovery of oil and its subsequent exportation, agriculture was the mainstay and driver of the Nigerian economy. One cannot but yearn for the good old days when Nigeria prided itself as the major exporter of cocoa (from the west), palm and rubber (from the east) groundnut ( from the north) and the likes. Major infrastructures that have stood the test of time were built from the proceeds of agriculture. Testimony to this assertion can be found in schools like Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Nigeria, N...
