Why empower and set up a financial crime commission in a nation already riddled with corruption, only to make such an institution a toothless bull dog. The fact that Nigerian judicial system seems to lack the structure to dispense justice quickly and the fact also that defence lawyers on the side of people accused of financial crimes have perfected the act of stalling cases, all tends to make high profile corruption cases a sort of ridicule on the sensitivity of the average Nigerian. I for one believe most people would rather not want to hear every other day that so much million and billion of naira gets stolen, and yet the accused walks away freely on bail and the case drags on endlessly or turn cold case or is a closed case without justice done to anyone, the accused or the accuser. Virtually every adult Nigerian without criminal, investigative or even financial forensic knowledge; know a thing or two about high profile Nigerians with a strong case to answer for public office corru...

                                                 ( Aero, getting set for departure ) Thursday 14 th July 2011, here I was rushing off to Port Harcourt on the 7.15am flight from MM2 airport Lagos to Port Harcourt  Omagwa Airport to prepare and conclude somearrangements for a scheduled event the following week in Port Harcourt.  First problem, Aero Contractors Airline deducted money from my card while paying for my ticket online and I didn’t get a booking reference number displayed on the screen to show I have actually been booked on that flight,however I got an SMS alert showing the payment has be deducted from my bank account.  So for a 7am flight I had to make sure I get to the Airport at least one and half  that  (5.30AM) to get my ticket issue sorted out with Aero Airline and leave enough time to check in if I must still fly ...

By Mfonobong Nsehe    May 6th 2011 A friend of mine met a really cute Nigerian girl at a nightclub in Lagos recently. He’s got a certain je ne sais quoi with the ladies. So he approached her, chatted her up for about an hour or so, and was lucky enough to walk away with her phone number and her house address. She asked him to visit her sometime. He promised he would, but he never did. The reason is this: The lady lives in Banana Island, Nigeria’s most expensive residential area. There are only a few privileged men who can afford to date a girl who lives in Banana Island. My friend is not yet a part of the privileged few. If you never heard about the Island, now you know. Banana Island is Nigeria’s most extravagant and expensive neighborhood – on par with the Seventh Arrondissement in Paris, La Jolla in San Diego, California and Tokyo’s Shibuya or Roppongi neighborhoods. The exclusive playground of Nigeria’s obscenely wealthy, Banana Island is an artificial i...

Mother in agony and the her deceased son, Seun on national service I seat and just imagine what a terrible a way to die it was for the Young Nigerians serving Nigeria in the North of the country under the National Youth Service (NYSC). After living a regimented life for 3 weeks in the orientation camp, with no electricity in the camp, the mosquitoes and insects bites , the endless hours of travelling from the South to the far North of Nigeria through the dangers of Nigerian road, and the struggle to get a place for primary assignments. Only to get killed by the very same community and people they had to go all through these hardships to serve. It just stirs up so much twisted emotions in me thinking about it Now I believe it’s an honour to server ones country under a scheme like the NYSC, however I honestly believe that the idea that NYSC help national integration is nonsensical. You know the success of anything by measuring its impact,...

This report (Nigeria's Almajiri children learning a life of poverty and violence) http://articles.cnn.com/2010-01-07/world/nigeria.children.radicalization_1_religious-violence-religious-clashes-kano?_s=PM:WORLD By CNN Christian Purefoy over a year ago without a doubt explains the sad, shameful and pitiful situation you find across Northern states in Nigeria. Almajiri are now almost becoming a steady pool for recruiting foot soldiers by a few evil and so called religious leaders and politicians to perpetuate evil at anything or anyone they see as an opposition. It’s amazing that in a place like Nigeria many people from the south hardly understand or even know of the existence of Almajiri. It took me living for one year in Kebbi state to really observe the hellish and idle life these young kids go through. Little wonder why it won’t be so easy to mould them into weapons of religious terror, or as we saw in the post 2011 April presidential election violence, weapons of mass political ...

Flying Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja is gradually becoming a routine and for someone who really use to love travelling by road. I must confess I now find it quite hard to go by road, even the barely three hours Port Harcourt to Warri ride is now a grind for me. But that’s one road I still must travel. However as for the Lagos, Ore to Benin road it will really take a while before I take a ride along that road again. It’s bad shape and crime ridden spots make it a really risky voyage for any living thing not just humans. If I had my way, the money and patience for a court battle, I would sue the Government or the relevant agency for total neglect of that road for God knows how long now. You always see construction work going on along various sections of that road year on year but nothing seems to change at the end of the day. It’s gotten so bad I now hear that there’s a very bad spot on the road somewhere between Okada and Benin that is called “Aso Rock” it’s a well known spot where ar...

The growing number of Nigerians seeking quality education and international learning experience signifies a real good fortune for Nigeria. Global higher education providers like the University of Huddersfield in the UK are eager to support and complement efforts of students seeking high quality education overseas. Due to the growing unavailability and yet keenly contested places in most local institutions of learning, demand currently out stripes supply,international education providers recruiting Nigeria students who can cover the cost of overseas studies in top notch destinations offers a win-win situation in the Nigerian student market. The University of Huddersfield is a growing destinations for Nigeria and African students, it offers top notch research, training,human capital development,learning and  a cultural experience second to none. The skills,knowledge and educational fulfillment Nigerian studying here receive certainly adds tremendous...

'Youth not oil is Nigeria’s most valuable resource' , but sadly enough down South some politicians will arm youths for selfish purposes, up North religious bigots will also arm youths to propagate their own doctrine of terror. What we have is countless number of young Nigerians dieing at the end of the day, while these old and never changing evil men still enjoy more than the perks of political or religious power. I used to be quite confident that the average educated Nigerian youth both north and south know better not to fall into the hands of Politician, or Religious bigot. But lately on most online forum or offline discuss where one will want to believe you can find very enlighten and objective views from youthful Nigerians, the reverse is mostly the case on most topics or tread you read or listen to concerning events or happenings in Nigeria. If indeed 'Youths and not Oil is Nigeria’s most valuable resource' then its time the Nigerian youth wake up and stand for ob...

It’s really not 100% Peace, Love and Unity but thank God for 50yrs, hopefully someday, somehow Nigeria will get it right.

Just like a flash 2011 fast approaching and its election year in Nigeria. Using this quote by one of my favourite author ( Chimamanda Adichie ) one can easily say a “Normalised Political Fear Invades Our Life’s” as Nigerians again. The air of uncertainty and fear keeps building by the day, the Nigeria daily newspapers are littered with headlines and captions that makes one wonder, What really will 2011 elections bring with it, or what will it take away. Will it bring the desired changes that Nigerians so much yearn for since it started it’s ever so called nascent democracy ? or will it take more life’s via assassinations / violence, increased kidnapping and possibly magnify corruption to greater heights. With captions in the print media like; NORTH WARNS JONATHAN AGAINST USE OF EFCC. I’M READY TO DIE FOR JONATHAN, SAYS ASARI DOKUBO. 2011 : MILITANTS HOLD SECRET MEETINGS WITH IBB, BUHARI.

As a very blessed man with few but loving women in my life . You all Know Who You Are This is just to say Thanks for being there and all the wonderful support you'er appreciated . Music by Dare Art Alade

In the Last six months I didn't make a single post on this blog, wow!.Even me am surprised I can go that long with out blogging .However I did write a couple of stuff on my notepad, covering a range of topics/personal experiences over this period e.g the New Nigerian Local Content Bill,The new PH city,The challenges of life and how it really helps grow the Christian's faith, and also my missing luggage on Lufthansa Flight 4722 ( Frankfort to London). As soon as I can make out the time and that's pretty soon, I sure will get them off my notepad and post right here. A big thanks to one of my online idols, one of the bloggers I follow the most http://www.nigeriancuriosi ty.com/ by solomonsydelle for the comment you left.

It’s become a tradition for me since I pick up interest in blogging, to always on the last day of each year in the last 3years now, write a short note that covers both my reflections for the out going year and my outlook for the incoming year. On this occassion due to lack of internet access on the 31st dec 2009 , I had to post this on the 2nd of Jan 2010, even though I wrote this in the early hours of the 31st . For 2009, putting it simply, I can say I have had so many wonderful blessing that I am really grateful to my creator for. Taking a break from full time employment in 2008 and going back to school was not an easy task, although the challenges turned out to be interesting far more than I thought. Indeed this was one seeming mountain, I give God praise that in 2009 he brought me over it and saw me through. In my moments of fear, pain, and tears only one thing kept me going my faith, hope and trust in God. 2009 indeed help me to see certain things come to pass successfully in my l...

Quoting Rev Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr, I will say to every Nigerian lets “keep Hope alive. Lets PRAY!, that as we mark another year of Independence that Nigeria will really change for the better, and that by both divine grace and human efforts, we will support to usher in at all levels of goverment, more focused people coupled with the requisite knowhow in resource management and nation building, having a burning passion for a better and sustainable future for Nigerians. Let eagerly and consciously await and fight for the replacement/refusal of any so called leader(s) who think leadership in Nigeria should be all about sharing the money, and looting the treasury, without fear. We have come this far under very hard and most times unfortunate governance. However, Leadership and followership, we all need to change, no matter how little let’s make a positive change. God Bless Nigeria.

Nigeria blessed with diversity , both human and natural resources in the North, West, East and of course the now world famous South where the oil wealth lies. Yet Nigeria still has the most unfair and unproductive structure for all ethnicities to have the possibility of ruling the nation. In the era where a man of black Heritage didn’t just drama , but today rules what most people still consider the strongest Nation on earth, Nigeria is still talk about geopolitical or should I say trio political ruling zones. It’s no news now that for the most part of its existence as a country, Nigerians of Northern extraction has had the opportunity to rule the country the most under Military and Civilian governments. The list below just serves to buttress this know facts. Sometimes it takes looking at a picture to really notice how skewed things are. Take a critical and open minded look at the list below , think and ask yourself, how can we ever get the best or right man for the job, if we continu...

( With Dr Bola Afolabi, Current CIPS President) On the 28 February 2006, I started a tread called Logistics/Supply Chain Management on one of the most popular webforum in Nigeria called Nairaland. Follow link to view postings on this tread http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-7497.0.html My aim basically was to use the opportunity an online forum can offer, to interact, share and gain ideas, information,network and generally increase awareness of the Procurement, Logistics and Supply chain management profession. This act of sharing my passion for the profession online has over the years sparked off series of positive and constructive events in my career quest, some of which I have reflected upon in the text below. Although my initial undergraduate study and immediate post study working experience were all related to engineering, I soon fall in love with the logistics and SCM profession when in March of 2005 I gained my 1st substantive Job with Integrated Logistics services Nig...
