  Is Girl child’s education really paramount? By Innocent Anthony Owuzechi Education is very paramount in all we do in this life but to my dismay tons of our parents don’t like sending their girl children to school and this brings a setback to our society and serious phenomenon. When you instil a knowledge to a girl child is like you give knowledge to the society entirely why because they are the one responsible in taking the task of parental care which can be link to family as the first agent of socialisation.  If your plans are  for one year plants rice, if your plans are for decades plants trees, but if your plans are for century educate girl child because she will instil it to the society in general not only herself.  Girl child’s education is very crucial and essential in life because we have tons of girl child that are out from school because they are being stop from going to school by their parents and guardians.  No society can develop without a help of...

Clothe is meant to be worn in other to cover our nakedness, cover our bodies from hash weather, cold and also to make us look good and presentable in the society.

Roadmap For Power Holders By: Olorumun Peter A good driver is one with power to change or control the affairs of public or any private settings. A power holder has the capability to influence the action and behaviour of others. Power can be acquired forcefully or sometimes naturally bestowed by God. Many leader forget that when they come to power and decided to misbehave. Many content vigorously  for the seat of power but reaching there, they find it  filled with catastrophic as they anticipate.  Power political, economic, charismatic, physical or social type. Whatever type of it is, the holder of power must bear in mind that power comes from God and is like shadow that pass out anytime. These are two point one may bear in mind power as a shadow and ephemerality of power. Many come to power not that they have political history to tell. For  instance, former president Olusegun Obasanjo come out of prison to become the president of federal republic of Nigeria. Dear pow...

Culture is very crucial in humans life why because without culture we’ll not be able to k...

NO WHERE IS SAFE! By Mary Bawa. Recently, more often than before, Nigeria has been trending on both local and international media over ceaseless kidnappings, banditry, robbery and other criminalities threatening the fabric of our social existence in the country. It is not longer a news that terrible and horrific things are happening day in day out in almost every part of the Country. While it is horribly compounded, it is aching that such a mess is happening in a country that has government on which security of lives and property is shouldered.  In Nigeria today, people  no longer travel in peace. Travelling by road, being the means of transportion by which the poor and the average man affords, is now becoming a safe heaven  for criminals.  What knocks your mind first is not even 'Accident' but rather the fear of being robbed or kidnapped. If you take the Abuja-Kaduna road, you get kidnapped. Travel from Borno to Yobe, you get kidnapped! Too numerous to mention. This...

Alan Waka: A unique trans-national singer    By Usman Abdullahi Koli It is true that music is a universal language. Alan Waka's song which has gone beyond the shore of Hausa speakers –to a across borders is point of reference in literary parlance.

The feat one could ever achieve in his or her field of professionalism is recognised by many and taken as a role model by old and young ones.  Mostly, before one could reach the apex, he or she must have gone through lots of challenges that require endurance, consistency and patience. At times you would feel like dumping some idea at the embryo stage but doggedness results in making one popular, talented and extraordinary among other contemporaries. Aminu Ladan Abubakar, known as Alan Waka appeared unique in his style of music, he sings from heart considering the risk he takes in exposing ...
