When Will Our Tomorrow Come?

 By: Douglas Ogbankwa  Esq.   We are living in a Wasted Generation! -Prof.  Wole Soyinka. The Nigerian Youth are caught in between  the unfortunate mix of the complexities that clog our Society! The first of these complexities, is the obvious non recognition of the Nigerian Youth to play a prominent role in governmental processes! You find for instance, a Political Party, making a 61-Year- Old Man, their National Youth Leader, which is akin to making a Man, National Woman Leader. There seems to be a deliberate policy in place ,to short change the Nigerian Youth and restrict them to pedestrian roles.There also lies the acquiescence of the  Youth in accepting such second fiddle roles.

FRANK NWETE: WHEN A HOMOSEXUAL BECOMES A WOUNDED LION IN A JUNGLE OF SOUND ADVICE

#DNKIsaysNo2hikes.  De Norsemen Kclub International observes with utter dismay the intention of the Federal Government to perpetuate misery in the country at a time when responsible governments across the world are initiating policies and palliatives that would help citizens to cushion the terrible effects of the Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns. At a time when government should empathize with the people and find ways of economic recovery and social reengineering, the federal government has decided to increase the woes and burdens of the citizens and carry on as if nothing has happened. It is regrettable that the welfare of the masses no longer counts since government could simply wake up and pile up more burdens on the caving fragile shoulders of the traumatized masses. The recent increments in electricity tariff, pump price of petrol and reduction of interest on savings in banks from 3.75% to 1.25% at this critical time of global challenge is, to say the least, thoughtless, reprehe...
