The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Enugu State Council has decried the dearth of potable water in the state capital and its environs. The council in a communique made available to newsmen after its congress on Monday, appealed to the state government to step up efforts at providing potable water to residents of the state. It described the perennial water scarcity which had caused hardship to the people, especially, those in the state capital as unacceptable. The state council of the NUJ also appealed to the state government to enforce the Enugu State Tenancy Law to check the astronomical rise in house rents in the state capital.…
The Nigerian Left has largely neglected, if not deliberately avoided a renewed ideological struggle which has become a strong factor in both the general turbulence and violence enveloping the whole country and the associated power struggle within the ruling class. The neglected or badly engaged ideological struggle may simply be described as “argument over the birth of Nigeria,” that is, argument over how Nigeria came into being and what would have happened if Britain, an imperial colonial power, had not invaded our lands, defeated or deceived our ancestors, gathered them together and imposed itself on them.

It was a Monday morning and the Nor’easter storm had just dropped 2 feet of snow that blanketed the little sleepy community. A couple by the name of James and Lisa Goy were shoveling snow from their parking…
“Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.” -Author unknown When I set my foot on the marvel that is America in the Summer of 2001, who could have thought that barely two decades later, one would sit here and write how the behemoth that is the American empire, the architect of our modern world, is unraveling before our very eyes. Ronald Reagan’s shining city on the hill is no more. Today, traitors masquerading as politicians have sold to special interest, the soul of a great nation. The charlatans walk around with blood in their hands, defecating…
