LETTER TO APGA: ENUGU IS A BALL, BUT SHINE YOUR EYES!

The recent Local Government elections in the state was…

To make sense of those ideas, and the institutions or movements they explain, involves examining their history and development. That history is always a story of how we got to where we are now. What we cannot do is look forward to see where history is going. In Roman mythology, the Owl of Minerva was a symbol of wisdom. For Hegel, the Owl only…

OPINION: Where are the patriots?

Dr. Charles Okhai Something of great importance is missing in our society. Something very significant and high national value is obviously and remarkably missing in our nation. They are like seasonings without which no meal can taste good. In the same way, without Patriots no nation can attain her full developmental potentials. Nigeria is unarguably far backwards socially, economically, and politically. The missing link is the dearth of Patriots in our society. The Lack of Patriots underscores our underdevelopment and stagnation as a nation. Sometimes in the past , we had some vibrant Patriots who fought fearlessly and doggeddly for…
