ANAMBRA ELECTION -AN EPITOME OF 2015


    Nigeria is no more a lad when it comes to the area of electoral processes. Since 1960 when the nation has been wearing the sovereign garment which marked the country as the independent one. We manage our potentials, we govern ourselves and no influence as during the colonialism. With three tiers of government, four years in office, as it is written down, there must be poll to fix out the credible leaders. Is all our elections bring credible leaders?
     In Nigeria, except the June 12 1993 election that was marked locally, internationally as the credible one but the credible leader was not on the chair of honour. Only thing we heard afterward was the deceleration of his death. The country managed to live in destitute. It so ironical that a nation that is blessed with both human and natural resources can still bite her fingers at the end of the day.
  With the aim to halt this, Nigerians have been looking for ways of getting out this awful condition. One of the ways is election. Like the one conducted on Saturday in Anambra state, the election did not voice the masses opinion-it had to be canceled  by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC due to its incredibility. But another poll is knocking in 2015, Anambra poll is the epitome of 2015 election.
    Since the leaders are not ready for the masses, let there be a new dawn to appear in the new day. Arise Nigerians! How would you cast your vote in 2015 general election?  If a leader cannot help you, help the leader.

Is the English Language a Curse or Blessing to Nigeria? by Olaniyi Abdulwaheed

Image
English the language of the colonial masters in Nigeria. Colonial masters bequeathed English to Nigeria as part of the ways of making Nigerians adopt their culture. Since language is part of the culture and culture is part of the language, Nigerians overwhelmingly adopted British culture and viewed it as the best gaze in the mirror. The prestige attached to British culture cannot be confiscated in English, the British language. However, many scholars with different opinions have argued on the existence of the English Language, whether it is a curse or blessing for the country. Some argued that, embracing English language is a curse to Nigeria, whereas some believe that it a force of blessing for the nation.  The growth of the English language in Nigeria can be traced to the heterogeneous nature of Nigerian society. Nigeria is a country with many languages with at least of about 400 languages. Most of these languages are not mutually intelligible, that is, speakers of one la...

A REVIEW OF DENJA ABDULLAH’S PLAY DEATH AND THE KING’S GREY HAIR - By Olaniyi Abdulwaheed

Image
In every society, there must be a leader. A leader who is ready to refurbish the land, lead by example and abides by the laws of the society. A leader who is respected by his subjects is the one that serves the nation relentlessly and bends for the rule of law. The law of every society defines its power, culture and tradition. The uniqueness of a tradition in a particular nation is reserved in the constitution and how the people of the state respect the rule of law. When the power of a nation is given to a particular person to maintain orderliness, peace and harmony reigns if the ruler or king obeys political culture. Leaders must lead by example lest things fall apart. The play Death and the King’s Grey Hair centres around the ancestral culture of the people of Shakaga village. According to their unwritten constitution , a king rules for a short period of time, it is a taboo for him to live with signs of ageing,.The village only witnesses young kings and short reigns. The law ...

Recession - by Ogunyomi Israel Abidemi

Change!          We grabbed the concept Without probing its content; Hence the rooster barks at night And the dog crows in the dawn. The cat sprouts horns And the bull grows paws. The dribblers of the nation Are a genuine evil genius, Cunning enough to make the green red; Witty enough to carve a night Out of the chest of a bare day. Barns and banks, all are red, Making the earth hotter than hell. Ah! This pertinacious chart Of recession behooves the imagination of humanity, Turning the father his family's foe - The former thundering tumultuously Like disaster over every grain of rice His soles discover on the kitchen's floor - Including those labelled wastes, Kept in stock to stuff the bin's bowel.
