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.
Ayanfe! My lady of virtue. She whose presence rocks my heart Like the traditional beat of odun oba. And her love fingering my little spot belle Like the tasty stew of ogbono. Ayanfe! Wait! Must I forever speak of us? Even at the battle field, fighting on horses Or on the play field, picking on roses Lovingly moving down the narrow path pointing to houses That we'll like to build together with our own family. Ayanfe! Let us sing of disapproving-display in the shade, By friends who doesn't believe we've prayed, They think their part has been played But to us it seems much like a shade. Ayanfe! Let your glossy body show the wide world Of our secret love affair As we are set to face them all And tell them of our undying love.
African drama and theatre started to emerge in Africa continent when British came to make their affairs of life imposed on Africans. They came with ideas; religion, education, business transaction, making Africa a raw material place where their solid land was built up by it. Through this, African lifestyle changed and wore another garment because of the predicament at the advent of British. Though Africans had their normal dramatization (in form of folklore), their experiences for the coming of British always feature in the African drama and theatre that was inherited from Europeans. The origin of African drama and theatre based on traditional, history, and contemporary dramatic forms in Africa which range from sacred or ritual performances to dramatized storytelling, literary drama, or modern fusion of scripted theatre with traditional performance techniques. The diversity in performances is as a result of massive spread of cultures and traditions in each country. A lot of t...
Not less than four months now that the academic activities in public universities in Nigeria had gone to the stream of memory due to the marathon strike the Association of Staff Union of the Universities ASUU embarked on purposely to secure funds from the federal government of the country with the aim of rebuilding the decayed structured in the federal universities across the nation. The journey started well, ASUU keeps walking on eggshells but the federal government failed to make the dream of 2009 between the association and the highest cadre of government becomes a reality. Due to this fact, ASUU walks on their talk as they say ‘no money no work’ and the government, in the same breathe, ‘no work no pay,’ so the battle begun since July first this year, continuing to rain up to this moment. The hope arose when the sun of the strike reached the middle of the sky, the president called for the re-conciliatory meeting in order to put a stop to the...
