To Nnamdi Kanu: Welcome Back To The Zoo

Congratulations to Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a Federal High court in Abuja just granted him bail. The presiding Judge, Binta Nyako, gave the order to allow Mr. Kanu attend to his ailing health condition. It would be recalled that Kanu, alongside other three pro-Biafra agitators, has been facing trial for treasonable offences. Although, the conditions of the bail are kind of stringent; however, it should not be difficult for the indefatigable IPOB leader to meet them.

Kanu is expected to provide three sureties. One of the sureties must be a senior and highly recognized Nigerian of Igbo descent. The second surety must be a highly recognized believer in Judaism. The third surety must be resident with landed property in Abuja. Also, the sureties are to deposit their international passports with the court till conclusion of trials. Kanu must not grant interview, must not be in a crowd exceeding 10 people, and must not hold rallies. Kanu's health report also should be made available to the court monthly.

Over the period of Kanu’s incarceration, he had been able to gain so much sympathy especially from those high and mighty within the political landscape of Nigeria who believe the self-acclaimed IPOB leader is just been kept behind bars unjustly by the Federal Government. The Imo state Governor Rochas Okorocha sometimes last month called on the FG to consider the release of Kanu who attributed his behavior to “youthful exuberance” and said his continued detention is an unnecessary distraction. He also hinted about the move of some South-East leaders making a move towards his release.

Before now, series of protests had been held by some of his huge followers in the South-Eastern part of the country, the outcome of some which results into violence and sometimes, loss of lives of these people. Some concerned Nigerians and advocacy groups also had organized protests on his behalf clamoring for his release. Mr. Kanu was arrested in October 2015 and has been held in prison since then, despite various court orders that ruled in his favor for his release.

It would be recalled that Nnamdi Kanu openly admitted to calling Nigeria a zoo. He confirmed in the statement with Sahara Reporters interview, dated October 24, 2015, that he made the comments, calling Nigeria a zoo to justify his belief that the only language its people understood was violence. I therefore, use this opportunity to welcome Mr. Kanu back into his acclaimed Zoo!

Making The Best Of Your Real Estate Investment

Real estate investment is as old as man itself. There is virtually no activity that does not involve the use of land or any other thing that has to do with it, except in some very few exceptions. From corporate organizations, to a small shop owner who sells rice and beans in a corner shop, real estate is involved. RE comprises of three basic things. They are Land, Buildings and its appurtenances. In other words, Real Estate = Land + Building + Appurtenances.

The Onions of a Long-Distance Relationship

It is usually a sad story to hear of people who were once in a good and Godly relationships go their separate ways after a short period of time. A number of reasons usually have been put forward by the people involved in this quagmire. Quite a number of them have hinged the reason on distance. But my argument has always been this: why should distance be a threat to beautiful relationships - especially between opposite sex who once professes they loved each other? Although, certain inexcusable circumstances may warrant that one’s fiancée or fiancé relocate at some point or the other during the course of the relationship. Trying to answer this question led me to putting this piece together and to share what have worked for me in the past four years in my own relationship. First and foremost, distance does not only affect two people who are together in a maritally-intended relationship. Even friends that happened to be in different location at the same time have seen distance being a ba

Nigeria: One Day One Drama

Nigeria is a theatre of drama. Just about the time you are exhausting one, another one simply ensues from nowhere. Sometime ago, it was a member of the National Assembly that released “Ajekun Iyaa”. That song is still a banger till tomorrow. Then, you hear that the President has relocated his office to his living room. It first of all began with him missing Federal executive council meetings like no man’s business. One would wonder why the president would consistently miss such crucial meeting when he is not outside of the country. And then suddenly, the minister of information said the man would prefer to work from home. All files to be sent to his sitting room. No one knows whether Mr. President is fine health-wise or not. His state of health has remained shrouded in mystery till now. No one can tell whether the President is actually working from home or is being attended to on his sick bed at home. If there is one thing those in Presidency knows how to do, it is to tell lies and
