Multinationals, Leaders and Niger Delta
Written by Charles Ikedikwa Soeze, FHNR, CPAE   
Sunday, 06 July 2008
The Niger Delta is an area of more than 28000 square kilometers of mangrove swamps meandering waterways which stretches for over 300 miles from the Benin River in the West to the Cross River in the East. Thus, even most colloquial discussions of the Delta have tended to include Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River States. These are (South-South) oil producing states in addition to Edo, Abia, Imo and Ondo States (now).

Nigerian Publishers & Their Foreign Counterparts
Written by Odimegwu Onwumere   
Friday, 04 July 2008
For a Nigerian home-base writer of prose, poetry or drama to be published in Nigeria is like a marriage that was celebrated in the abyss or like a honeymoon sojourn of couples on a tidal ocean. The person has to pray, fast or even make oral will or even write it down on the ocean if there is writing materials around to do so.

NUT Strike: Government should dialogue and not divide or intimidate teachers
Written by Bamidele Aturu   
Friday, 04 July 2008
It is truly unbelievable that the Federal Government could allow the strike called by the NUT actually take off despite the fact that an earlier warning strike was effective across the country. The unfortunate message sent by the government is that it could not be bothered by the stoppage of work at the basic level and for that reason the most important level of our educational system.

RE: POWER EMERGENCY: GOVERNORS BACK YAR’ADUA
Written by Zik Gbemre   
Wednesday, 02 July 2008
When the present administration of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, sometime in 2007 hinted Nigerians that he was going to declare “a state of emergency” on the power sector, many people were given a sense of hope, that at long last, something would be done to change the pathetic power sector to good. But as the months rolled by, Nigerians began losing that sense of hope, especially with the “slow-paced” system of government headed by President Yar’Adua. First, the President declared that he was wary to invest in the power sector, considering the fact that about $16 billion was spent on it by the last administration of Olusegun Obasanjo. And then later, a committee was mandated by the President to map out a plan that would provide at least 6,000 MegaWatts (MW) by 2009. And now, plans are on the way to implement the much awaited emergency measures in the power sector, expected to be declared in the month of July.
