Nigeria is said to be a Country, good and fine, but I am beginning to think that the idea we have of a country is different from what it ought to be. A nation should, I suppose, independent of the cultural, religious, climatic differences, share a common goal, a common purpose, and this should be expressed by the amount of peace and freedom that every member of the State enjoy in any…
The congratulating message of the African World Bank candidate, Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has once more shown the capacity of this great and rare Nigerian gem. It has also shown, not only shown her humility, but also the death of meritocracy in a World where democracy has been seriously wounded and sectionalized in such a way that only the strongest survive. Her failure to occupy this seat which she technically merited has once…

It is a good move that should be encouraged…

One of the greatest Nigerian literature guru, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie made one of the prominent remarks that I believe will never seize to be incessantly of actuality. She said: “the single story creates stereotypes and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.” This is exactly what Zainaba Usman is airing in this article that I am…
Rochas Okorocha does not collect his Salary as Imo State governor. What is baffling? I’ve been trying to fault him & its been difficult. People who say its a gimmick, should visit Babatunde Raji Fashola‘s Lagos and get the definition of gimmick in action. Even if na show towards 2015. Imo state people should enjoy the show and count themselves blessed. It should not also stop people from scrutinising Rochas Okorochas every…
February 20, 2012. (Romereports.com)1 It was August of 2011, when a United Nations building was attacked in Nigeria. Then just a few months later, in December, the attacks turned against civilians, when Christian churches were bombed.
