Goodluck Jonathan: A Reckless and Insensitive Leader; By Frank Ijege

Goodluck Jonathan is insensitive, inexperienced and remains unfit to serve as President. No sane leader will continue with any useless political rally 24 hours after hundreds of people, innocent and harmless, were bombed and killed in cold blood.
A responsible leader would have cancelled any political engagement out of respect for the dead and in appreciation of the present security challenges call an emergency meeting of our security outfits and seek ways of ending this madness. How can you as a president sleep comfortably at night when under your presidency close to 5000 people have been killed, and I am not exaggerating; let alone dancing and even calling opposition politicians names less than 48 hours after human being like you are killed?
If we all feel Olisa Metuh, the publicity secretary of the PDP is reckless and irresponsible, then we are wrong. Because this President is more reckless and far irresponsible than Olisa is, and I dare say it has become a common feature of the PDP, a bunch of reckless and irresponsible people running this country aground.
By this odious and stinking attitude of the president, it shows he is still labouring, and struggling to learn to ropes of a true leader. The sad truth is that after four years, he still has not learnt anything. And his recent conduct shows a clear disrespect for Nigerians and the family of the dead and injured. I am not placing the blame for these security challenges at his door step, but he take a large portion of the blame. We cannot keep managing a president who is struggling to learn the ropes. We need an active and proactive leader. This of course is a choice for Nigerians to make. God bless Nigeria

Nigeria’s COVID-19 Response and Post-Lockdown By ANAP Foundation

Image
The unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic is changing the face of human society and its systems, from healthcare to education, consumption patterns, the world of work, value systems, political regimes and legal systems. The condition was first reported in Nigeria in February 2020, and within a few weeks of its onset, we had entered the community transmission phase. Today, there are more than 16,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across 35 States and the FCT, and over 400 deaths and counting. How Nigeria recovers from the effects of the infection will depend on the innovations we are willing to introduce and the reforms we are committed to implementing in the various sectors of our society.

There has been an ongoing campaign by some Nigerians calling for the scrapping of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, a unit in the Nigeria Police Force. This call is being ignited by a plethora of complaints against men and officers of the special unit. Such complaints range from torture, its use by some powerful citizens to settle their scores against lesser mortals, unprovoked brutalization of innocent citizens, summary execution of suspects etc.

Why We Must Implement Diaspora Voting System By Hon. Alex Obi-Osuala

Image
Diaspora votes must count in Nigeria. This is my position/opinion. If not because of the dubious nature of the officials in the government of Nigeria, one does not see any reason why Nigerians in Diaspora shouldn’t be voting as done in most countries of the world. Their votes would have been making a great difference, and give them a sense of belonging and participation in the affairs of the nation.
