     by Uyi Edogamhe
    August 27, 2010
    Most Nigerians, l bet, were flummoxed at some of the reports we were “privileged” to read about the shoddy expropriation and infinite appropriation going on in both houses of the Nigerian National Assembly; that is the Senate and the House of Representatives.NigerianNews Special
 
  • GOODLUCK JONATHAN: A REALITY CHECK.
     by Uyi Edogamhe
    August 17, 2010
    We have been inundated with daily reports of what is fast becoming a hallmark of the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s administration in the past few days. Fiscal recklessness it is. This is fast assuming a  frightening proportion and currency now, and as such, every responsible and concerned  Nigerian should be worried about this.  Parsimony and fiscal responsibility have been thrown to the back burner for now. Common sense too, have been replaced by political placating calculations. The president needs to be jolted back to reality.> > NigerianNews Special
     
  • OBASANJO’S UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH.
     by Uyi Edogamhe
    August 11, 2010
    Olusegun Obasanjo is an enigma. A prolific public discuss provocateur. It is either you like him or you hate his gut. Obasanjo to a very large extend is unpredictable. He is brash, rash, impulsive and on your face with an inopportune but frank remarks mostly. His latest salvo is predictably Obasanjo and there is no traction or an ounce of self recrimination, on whose ox is gored. Obasanjo  in life and most probably long after he leaves the political scene will continue to be a phenomenon to be discussed and dissected..NigerianNews Special
     
  • THE FOLLY OF A POLITICAL CLASS.
     by Uyi Edogamhe
    August 03, 2010
    Nigerians are a unique breed. The can do, never say never, nothing is impossible innate disposition, is an inalienable trait of  the average Nigerian. The Nigerian has a natural disposition to excel, in a non constraining non restricting environment. The Falconets have once again proven that. The Nigerian is imbibed with a yearning urge to leave a mark wherever he or she threads, and loves to be the centre of attention. He is self consciously confident and exude and relishes that with no qualms.NigerianNews Special
     
  • A FIGHT TO FINISH
     by Uyi Edogamhe
    July 27, 2010
    These are turbulent, trying times no doubt in Nigeria’s political sphere. The attack dogs are on the prowl and the political environment is unduly being heated. The powers that be are in a self preserving fight to reassert their relevance again. Fear, which is a potent weapon of oppression, is the singular most deployed armoury in this fight to finish.  NigerianNews Special
     
  • JONATHAN: HOPES AND INTENTIONS.
     by Uyi Edogamhe
    July 19, 2010
    Political historians, as well as political events enthusiast, current affairs pundits, and rights bragging critics, have written a lot about Goodluck Jonathan’s ascendancy to the highest political office in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Much too have been speculated, about the import of the “Goodluck” sobriquet,  in the meteoric rise  of this supposed political neophyte, who has made history, in the Nigerian political context, in just 10 years of political activism.  NigerianNews Special
     
  • THE DAMNING VERDICT.
    by Uyi Edogamhe
    July 13, 2010
     Nigeria’s big time fiasco and the very early ouster from the just concluded world cup, is one big damning verdict, that demands serious, passionate analysis. The aftermath of this big  mess is still playing out, in the soul searching, and blame game that is now going on: and don’t forget of course, the presidential flip flop on the banning.

  • The Political Zoning Debate.
    by Uyi Edogamhe
    July 05, 2010
     Senator John  Shagaya’s granted interview as published in “This Day of 06/27/2010”, is very telling and revealing at the same time. The American historical context on which his analogy is premised, is faulty. The Senator it is glaring, has a warped, jaundiced and embarrassingly flawed understanding of American political history, as posited in the interview. NigerianNews Guest Column
