New Features: The Good Old Days

August 16, 2023 Admin

By Sunny Awhefeada, Nostalgia remains an integral feature of human experience. No matter what defined our memory of the past, there has always been the tendency to look back wistfully and wish that the old days were back. Memory enables reminiscences which in turn engender nostalgia. The narrative of the Nigerian nay African sojourn is that of a sad recall of the occasional bright moments that dot our bleak and dreary terrain. Our story has always been that of hope and anticipation. And hope has kept us alive. Without hope…

By Sunny Awhefeada Delta State born gospel singer, Harold Ikuku, released a popular album that was the rave of the moment in the tough and horrible years that the 1990s were. The song’s motif is “I shall not die”. Although a gospel song, it resonated with both Christians and non-Christians as a result of its affirmative message of survival in the face of brutal economic and psychological assault on the citizenry. It was this song that a man sang with so much gusto on hearing of the new pump price…

News Feature: EDUCATION AND IT’S IMPORTANCE

May 28, 2023 Admin

By Andrew Darah (JP) Education is an essential process in human development. It is different from schooling. Schooling is just one of the ways in which education is provided, whereas education deals with the total process of human learning by which knowledge is imparted, faculties are trained and different skills are developed. Education is also defined as the act or process of educating or applying discipline on the mind or a process of character training. It is a dynamic instrument of change.

A Toast for Oby Ezekwesili @ 60 By Sunny Awhefeada The turn of the present millennium bequeathed many tendencies to Nigeria. As the curtain came down for the last century, the genie of military rule took flight and in its stead was the ephemerally refreshing air of civilian governance. The build up to the year 2000 was marked with frenzy and that date was configured as the climax of humanity’s sojourn on the path of modernity which began in the first decade of the previous century. The year…

Borrowing In The Peoples’ Name To Steal

April 20, 2023April 20, 2023 Admin

By Sunny Awhefeada Those who run and ruin Nigeria read like rogue characters in a picaresque. Nigeria has turned out to be a sordid adventure and those who dominate our landscape are the picaros. Roguish, arrogant and bravura-like, our rulers prance about and do things that normal people will not do. Yes, those who presently rule Nigeria are not normal. Their mental constitution is made of something in the realm of the abnormal. Daily, we are confronted with a multiplicity of inanities orchestrated by government officials who are never…

News Feature: The Race To Chatham House

January 21, 2023January 21, 2023 Admin

By Sunny Awhefeada, It is saddening if not depressing that more than sixty years after Nigeria attained independence the country is yet to plot her destiny and define her character. We remain an uncertain people floundering and lost in a vast and turbulent ocean. Growing up and reading social studies, history and government textbooks as well as listening to inspiring lessons from our teachers my generation felt a profound sense of pride in our nationalists and how they pursued out the nationalist struggle that birthed our independence in 1960. We…

News Feature: A Distressing Visit To The Past

October 15, 2022 Admin

By Sunny Awhefeada AN abiding relationship exists between our past and present. The farther we move away from our past through ageing, time or travel, the fonder we are of it. Our past ensures our rootedness and provides a compass for navigating a world that has become so complex that one is daily baffled and astounded with happenings. Our past remains with us, individually or collectively. Our past is not just enshrined in our memory, but it is lying in wait and active whenever we summon it as a…
