YOU WILL NEED YOUR WIFE MORE THAN SHE NEEDS YOU AT OLD AGE, BE GOOD TO HER.
In the early years of marriage, women often rely on their husbands for emotional support, financial stability, and guidance. Men are saddled with the responsibility to play a vital role in providing basic needs for their families. However, as the seasons of life change, so do the needs of men. As men age, they begin to crave more companionship. They yearn for someone to share their experiences, joys, and sorrows with. A loving wife becomes an invaluable treasure at old age to her husband, providing…
Shambolic Local Elections: Are Governors Setting ‘Standard’ for Tinubu’s 2027 Re-Election Strategy? By Yushau A. Shuaib
Its shocking and laughable that ruling parties, which barely secured victories in gubernatorial elections, are now winning local government council elections by landslides. In some states, even parties that had never won elections are sweeping council seats, often at the behest of influential governors seeking to undermine their political rivals. For instance,Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State exemplifies how to win elections despite lacking support from traditional power brokers. The abuse of local government councils by state governors in Nigeria is a pressing concern that threatens the very…
Why Public Relations Matters in Secondary Education By Dr. Afolabi Olajuwon
In an increasingly advanced world where communication plays a fundamental role in personal and professional interactions, the importance of teaching Public Relations (PR) in secondary education is being recognized by educators and industry professionals alike. My contributions will focus on the relevance of PR as a subject in secondary schools, highlighting its role in developing essential skills, fostering critical thinking, and preparing students for diverse career opportunities. Public Relations is often misunderstood, reduced to mere press releases and media management. However, it encompasses much more, including strategic communication,…
The shuffle in Abuja By Lasisi Olagunju
Patient walks unaided into the doctor’s consulting room. Patient soon suffers mismanagement. She goes pale and jerky, unconscious. Doctor gives his best shot – or so he claims. Patient is not responsive. Doctor strolls off, leaving the patient to sip his tea. Doctor comes back and sees worsening symptoms: Cold hands. Weak pulse. Fatigue. Incontinence. Dyspnea – respiratory distress. Restlessness. The clock ticks, and the patient’s condition deteriorates. Doctor sets up a symptom control team. Symptoms persist. Patient’s relatives accuse the doctor of incompetence and negligence. Doctor denies all charges…
Tinubu’s Sincerity on Bringing Down Inflation By Adefolarin A. Olamilekan
Many citizens want President Tinubu’s government to control the economy and curb the rising prices of food, transportation, goods and services. Unfortunately, the reverse has been the case, majorly because the government deployed its worst strategy through the monetary policy engaged by the Central of Nigeria (CBN) and fiscal and trade policy of the same government. The APC lead administration presents itself as the solution to the nation’s economic challenges. Within one year of the government administering its economic policy, the government became popular for earning more revenues and…
IN DEFENCE OF THE DEFENSELESS JUDGES WHO ARE DOING THEIR JOB ACCORDING TO THE DICTATES OF THEIR CONSCIENCE By Achi. William-Wobodo
Being a judge, is a tough personal call to make. It is a highly demanding and ethical job to do, which makes a judge vulnerable and prone to bullying. A judge is trained to rise up in defence of the defenseless, yet he cannot defend himself. The rot in our society has made the job even more hazardous. For every judgement that does not go in the way of public opinion and expectation, the judge is blamed and accused of corruption. This is unpatriotic. Judges are not employed to…
I saw Makkah and wept; you would, too, by Hassan Gimba
My recent visit to the holy city was the second time I was there, courtesy of the benevolence of Honourable Mai Mala Buni, the governor of my state, Yobe. The first was when I was practically wheeled there as a result of a debilitating illness that required first-class medical treatment. The recent visit was for a follow-up treatment, and happily, my doctors attested to my improved health condition. The governor has made it a state policy to provide free medical services to anyone who can come to Yobe…
The Guardian’s dog and rape of Lady Justice By Festus Adedayo
As I was concluding this piece, my eyes caught a presidential sledgehammer which landed on the head of Conscience Nurtured by Truth – The Guardian. In a release issued by the State House yesterday, authored by erstwhile Editor-in-Chief of TheNews, Bayo Onanuga, the newspaper was accused of a crime almost similar to what General Sani Abacha accused it of in 1994 which led to its closure. The “NADECO government” of Bola Tinubu merely rehashed the allegation. I will address this presently. All over the world, the Lady Justice is…
