Loving George Benson and Earl Klugh

I know, I didn’t decide to learn to play the guitar but the sax, but that does not mean I cannot show my love to these two brilliant musicians. I used to be a member of a jazz club when I was in the university. It was called the

Want to see a bit of the Niger Delta?

See this presentation on CNN. When we think of the Niger-Delta region and the movements we should remember that the region is one of the most environmentally degraded areas in the world, that this degradation happened in the recent past, and that it is still ongoing. We should

A New Deal?

Paul Krugman thinks that Mr Obama has the chance of ushering in a FDR-like New Deal for the United States, but he thinks that Obama should be less cautious about his economic policies. He says that the shortcomings of FDRs New Deal, on the short run, was due to

In the concluding paragraph of the story: So Mr Obama in that respect is a gamble. But the same goes for Mr McCain on at least as many counts, not least the possibility of President Palin. And this cannot be another election where the choice is based merely on

Why is being….

… a socialist an insult? Why is the idea of redistribution such an anathema that an utterance of ’spreading the wealth around’ is described as a gaffe, one to quickly run away from? Why does a country with so much income-disparity and rising inequality squirm at the idea of

The Sax and Me

I have now decided to learn to play the sax. I am a great jazz music lover, and I have put off learning to play an instrument since. Now, I decided that I could start it. Not like I never really tried to learn an instrument. I tried my

Detained Nigerian Blogger

I am sort of a late-comer to the news about the arrest of Mr. Jonathan Elendu of Elendu Reports. This is a sad development indeed, especially as it comes when we are still trying to reconcile our image of a benevolent Yardy with the incedents that surrounded the closure
