Each Accident Victim Families, Deserve N20 Million Compensation From Dangote By: Peter Omonua Dangote trailers have done lots of damages to the lives of many people and families in Edo State. Incidences of Dangote trailers and their killings all over the country have been ongoing for years without accountability.  A few years ago, one of his trailers killed 16 people on the spot at Ketu Alapere bus stop.

Nigeria Favours the Shallow Over the Deep, Intelligence Also Matters. By: Douglas Ogbankwa Esq. The Super Falcons got 100k dollars for winning the WAFCON, but a Police Man or Police Officer has served the country for 35 years and gets 2 million Naira or less . There are many young Nigerians who are investing in IT, infrastructure, yet got no support from the government.  The owners of Futtetwave and Paystack relocated the headquarters of their businesses to South Africa. The Nigerian  Government did not ask why or even encourage them to cone back.  Pfizer and Glaxco Smith kline left Nigeria, no questions from the Nigerian Government.  Do you know how much 100k dollars will do to a start up? Do you know how many start-ups are looking for seed funds? We, however, choose to give it to footballers when there are many businesses struggling for survival.  The empowerment programmes are shrouded in secrecy and mystery. I have not seen one person who is a beneficiary....

Funding Nigerian Police, Is The Missing Link By: Douglas Ogbankwa, Esq.@douglasogbankwa@gmail.com  Nigeria appears to be the only country in the world where the Police arrest before investigation commences . Reason:There are no resources available for the Police to operate. An average Nigerian Police Officer or  Police .Man in his job is like a national orphan . He uses his call credits to make call ,there are no operational vehicles for most tactical units, when you see those Policemen collecting money in a check point with a van close,the money collected is used to fuel the vehicle and repair same .If they don’t collect those monies, there will likely be no policing at the local level in this country. Those of them attached to private individuals buy their own bullets! The Nigerian Police Force is grossly underfunded. The fact that they are making roads in fighting crime with the little funding they have makes them look like magicians. There are no functional forensic labora...

OPINION C alling for a Legal Framework for Whistle Blowing in Nigeria  By: Douglas Ogbankwa Esq  The concept of whistle blowing is a novel concept in the Nigerian System. It gained some traction with the advocacy of Professor Yemi Osinbanjo  SAN, former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Whistle blowing is an attempt to stop something bad that someone is doing, especially by bringing it to the attention of other people, and the public. There is no known law that regulates the concept of whistle blowing in Nigeria. It is therefore left to the whims and caprices of the operators of the Nigerian Government. As in anything that is left to the  whimsical wishes of Nigerian Government officials, whistle blowers have mostly found themselves in jail, for exposing a fraud, crime, and evil activities of some unscrupulous people, than for them to be given credit or compensation for their activities. It is so easy for you to steal public funds in Nigeria, but ver...

OPINION Disregard Forces Of Darkness In Ambrose Alli University By: Imoudu Peter Since the Selection Panel for the appointment of a new substantive Vice Chancellor began its assignment, our beloved university, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, has witnessed a recrudescence of the evil machinations of these seemingly entrenched forces of darkness.  Social media and a few nondescript media outlets have been awash with their odious, scurrilous, insensate and markedly false publications. Who are these desperados and what exactly do they want? It must be anything but the over all well-being and best interests of our great University.  Masquerading under faceless groups and anonyms, these media rats have been calling out the name of our most illustrious former substantive Vice Chancellor, Professor I.A. Onimawo and spewing absolute gibberish! What has the poor former VC got to do with the Selection Panel’s remit over the appointment of Principal officers for Ambrose Alli University?...
