Chief Olusegun Obasanjo Consulting on 'Rethinking Western Liberal Democracy for Africa,' former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo staunchly defended his position that Western liberal democracy has not proven effective for the continent. The ex-President argued that the Western model fails to consider Africa's unique history, culture, and traditions. Speaking as the convener of the gathering, Obasanjo stated that the Western style of democracy has faltered in Africa due to its neglect of the majority's opinions. He asserted that the government's representation of only a fraction of the people leads to the exclusion of the majority. Describing Western liberal democracy as "a government of a few people over all the people," Obasanjo criticised its inability to fully represent the diverse population. He contended that African countries should embrace what he terms 'Afro democracy,' asserting that they have no business operating a system of governmen

Dear Single Brother:     It's important..... Very important you marry a woman you can talk to on any matter! In Every sense.  It's risky to settle for a lady who doesn't take correction! She is disaster walking the earth!  She is never wrong in her eyes! You tell her: "Babe that thing you said to your mum was wrong; that action you put up before your colleagues at work wasn't right. She goes: "You don't love me! You don't care about me! You are always disturbing me. She has a problem that needs immediate attention.  To always see correction as an act of hatred is dysfunctional. Check through scriptures. Love is always seen on the same side with rebuke, correction and instructions. A person who wants you to be a better woman cannot hate you, of course there is a big difference when it is all you do!!! Too much of it can bash her self esteem. Talking to her could also involve talking about plans, goals and purpose!!!  You are not in a relationship when y

This was revealed by transfer pundit, Fabrizio Romano, via a tweet on X, on Tuesday. "Walter Mazzarri, new Napoli head coach. Agreement sealed - valid until June 2024. "Former Inter and Watford manager has signed the contract - set to be unveiled as new coach today. Mazzarri replaces Rudi Garcia," Romano tweeted.

 GROW ABOVE OFFENCES. Maintain relationships with people It is childish and immature to pick offence at every provocation or perceived wrong and then start keeping grudges as a result. Grow above it. Someone did not invite you for their celebration (s), you pick offence with them. Someone didn't wish you happy birthday, you pick offence with the person They didn't like your facebook post, you pick offence.  They didn't support you in a disagreement you had with someone, you pick offence with them. They are junior and they have the audacity to talk or oppose your opinion. You pick offence with them.  They said NO to your request, you pick offence and malice starts. You asked them for money, they said they didn't have it, you pick offence with them. You are even keeping a record of people who came around when you were grieved, so you can know who to pick offence with.   See!!!  Everyone has battles you are not aware of.  Those who you need help from are also looking for h

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA have arrested three blind men operating an illicit drug ring between Lagos and Kano. A statement released by Femi Babafemi, spokesperson of the agency says another blind member of the syndicate is still at large. Babafemi said the lid was blown off the group following the arrest of a blind suspect, Adamu Hassan, 40, along Gwagwalada expressway Abuja with 12kgs of skunk on his way from Lagos to Kano on Saturday 28th October.

In his statement, Bello who is married with five children said he has been living in Lagos for 30 years but started the illicit drug business five years ago.''

 THE VOYAGE  By Professor Moyo Okediji. About 30 years ago, I slept at the Murtala Muhammed Airport for four days.  No, I was not a homeless vagabond. I had bought the Nigeria Airways ticket to fly to the United States for a one-year sabbatical leave.  But when I arrived at the airport, I realized that my ticket was not honored, though I had bought it legitimately.  Whenever a plane was about to leave Lagos for New York, the NA officials posted a manifest list, and my name was not there.  They would ask me to wait for the next list.  This drama of “Your name is not yet listed, wait for the next manifest list” continued for four days. I couldn’t leave the airport and return home because I lived in Ile Ife, and had bid my people goodbye for one year. They all expected I would be in NY already. I was therefore forced to sleep by the door of the NA office at the airport, waiting for the release of the manifest list with my name on it. I was not alone. There were hundreds of stranded passen
