The Federal Government on Wednesday protested against a documentary on Lagos aired by the British Broadcasting Corporation, which portrayed the city as a slum. The documentary entitled, “Welcome to Lagos,” was broadcast on BBC2 in the United Kingdom on April 15. Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the UK, Dr. Dalhatu Tafida, conveyed the protest to the BBC.

According to the Guardian newspaper reports, In Nigeria, Money just doesnt talk, it actually shouts. Especially in the lives and lifestyles of those who have it in abundance.While the economic crisis takes its toll on Nigerians, the taste of Nigerian rich men for luxury is anything but waning. While the stock market is down and people's savings have been wiped out, a few Nigerians are still

The authorities of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) yesterday said the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and the Cockpit Recorder (CPR) also known as the “black box” of the crashed Wings Aviation aircraft are yet to be located by the search team.The elusive plane was found in the mountainous area of Busi in Obanliku local government area of Cross River State last Saturday.The

Per Dr. Laurence Peter (1968), the Peter Principle is a colloquial principle that states that "In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence."The saga at the Nigerian House of Representative purely represents this principle. Simply put, it is purely hilarious.., so hilarious it would make a big nollywood hit.An elected official tries to renovate a building with over

Reuben Abati begs to dissent from the hardship allowance being proposed by the Revenue mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission of Nigeria. Below are a few highlights of his dissent. Hear him..The present administration had hardly settled down when it was reported that members of the National Assembly - Senators and members of the House of Representative - had been paid jumbo allowances (in

Hear Reuben Abati..."This is Nigeria, my friend. It is not that easy. And why should he resign, just because the Attorney General says he does not know the law? Soludo is not a lawyer. So, if he didn't interpret Section 19 of the CBN Act correctly, well, he is not a lawyer." "You mean Soludo is calling President Yar'Adua a liar? Oh, my God. What kind of government are these people running? The

The following words of Justice Tobi of the Supreme Court of Nigeria cannot be said any better. It is the writers view that the Independence of the Judiciary remains paramount to the existance of any meaningful polity. The actions of the Supreme court is laudable and indeed gives hope to the future of the legal profession in Nigeria. "We are not members of the PDP and have no interest whatsoever

Whilst the Supreme Court's ruling that INEC has no power to bar candidates, as published in the link below opens the door to a flood of legal challenges; it no doubt promises an interesting adventure into the Nigerian Legal System and Judiciary. http://naijanet.com/news/source/2007/apr/16/1000.htmlFor the most part, it portrays an Independent apex court, and promises confidence in the Judiciary

The famous proverb goes: whom the gods want to kill or destroy, they first make mad. This cannot be more correct than in the forthcoming Nigerian elections; particularly in Imo state. In this State, the ruling party - Peoples Democratic Party[PDP] has been in a quagmire and involved in a myriad of power games to elect a candidate to represent them at the gubernatorial level. Subsequent to the

Ok, lets voice out on this a little bit. According to the Guardian Newspaper, the Nigerian Government has declared the next two days a holiday in prep for the forthcoming elections http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/article01 and several factions are calling a foul. The Nation had earlier this week returned from a two-day National Holiday.The political dramas that have played out in recent times

It was one of those mornings I wished the snow would pile and warrant a liberal leave. I had struggled to get off the bed in the morning and finally struggled into my suit, a quick peek at the mirror, picked the lunch bag readily packed and sitting on the dining table, and finally, the dear old blackberry. How could you ever leave home without one. The corporate world has just about perfected

Lets talk a little bit about the potential pitfalls capable of derailing the forthcoming Nigerian Presidential elections. The case in point would be S. 37 of the Nigeria Electoral Act 2006. According to Section 37 of the Act; "If after the time for the delivery of nomination papers and before the commencement of the poll, a nominated candidate dies, the Chief National Electoral Commissioner or

According to the General Manager of the Calabar Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in Nigeria , the FTZ has so far registered 100 companies of which 36 are already operational.The reasons for this upsurge is not far-fetched.The FTZ, commissioned in 2001 and located about one kilometre from the Port of Calabar is only merely 93km from the open sea, thereby making sea transportation easily accessible.

Lately, The Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] http://www.inecnigeria.org has become some form of Court/Judge/Arbiter in its own causes. For example, see ThisDay Newspapers report http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=73477 The INEC chairman insinuates the rulings of an appellate court delivered by the presiding Justice Olu Funmilayo Adekeye as "unenforceable court orders".
