By Steve Osuji COGNITIVE BLOCKADE AND CRIPPLING INERTIA: Nigeria continues to slide. All economic indicators are red; some are blipping, indicating danger. Those who know are in deep worry. The populace is in a trance, zombified by a never-seen-before strange situation. But the Presidency, the fulcrum of government continues in its empty braggadocio – they doodle and paper over cracks as the ship of state takes more water and totter.

Read MoreRestructuring Nigerian Federalism,Strength to Functional Union Part 2
By Nathan Uzorma A perfect example of this is the lopsided nature of the federalism of the First Republic.

By Afam Echi There are strong indications that the Bill Gate agenda to reduce world population with the blacks as focus is graining round through the complicity of weak and corrupt African leaders.

By Vitalis There’s no question, the South East Governors, are to be wholly blame for Nnamdi Kanu’s political travails, continued incarceration and detention, in the purview of travesty of justice by the Nigerian Government.
