It can indeed be...
It is an indelible historical fact that Nigerian political development has been shaped by chance happenings, of unprepared leaders accidentally jumping onto the stage, rigging themselves into high political offices, for which they are neither academically equipped nor did they possess the requisite experience in statecraft...
Bona’s current work is a testament to an artist’s insistence that art can serve as an idiom of rebirth. In the current works, Bona celebrates life and offers the ultimate honor to a son whose star was abbreviated far too soon...
The 2013 “Black in the Mediterranean Blue” event, part of the Lagos Black Heritage Festival in Nigeria, will celebrate that strong cultural bond between Brazil and the people of Nigeria. This year’s festival will be themed around a “Bring Back Brazil” concept, with Professor Wole Soyinka as Festival coordinator...
A good thing, it is said, cannot possibly remain hidden or in obscurity forever. In the case of Nollywood actress Nse Ikpe-Etim, this could hardly be truer. Her thespian star continues to grow in such a way that one can no longer ignore her acting prowess...

As such any society that surrenders the apparatus of information, security and electoral legitimacy to a particular group or sect of people does so at its own peril...
Governance ought to be a complete public business, not a complete personal business. Our people would have suggested to the governor that borrowing is part of governance, but only when it is done reasonably...

Poverty remains the chief, also including deforestation, unstable governments, poor building standards and low literacy rates. Or as Professor Richard Olson of the Florida International University puts it, “there is a whole bunch of things working against Haiti..."
