Bukola Saraki

Without a shred of doubt, patriotism is an ideal we often invoke to inspire citizens to give their best to their nation. And it is indeed a noble ideal, a potent force, a commitment that has transformed ordinary nations and people into global powers, one we must of necessity imbibe, individually, if we are to contribute our quota to nation building. But patriotism is latent at best, if not modeled by leadership. The patriotic fervour that birthed America is a reliable example in this regard. The much-rehashed sacrifices of that…

Politics in Nigeria has become a tournament of race horses where the game is on the side of brute speed and not administrative wit.

Caught in the mix of the new trend, victorious political platforms have used power at their…

Emotional affair does not involve sex. It happens to people who are in courtship or engaged or married but very fond of somebody else who is not their spouse but if care is not taken and brake applied, it…

Emporium Reporters
elrufai

(Opinion Page) By Farooq Kperogi Oscar Wilde’s satiric epigram about how “everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching” has been given literal materiality in Kaduna. I didn’t need to see samples of answers to the so-called teacher competency test in Kaduna State to be convinced that most, certainly not all, of the teachers employed to teach in public primary schools in Kaduna and elsewhere have absolutely no business being teachers. The samples the Kaduna State governor made public may be unrepresentative and probably merely serve to hyperbolize…
