A Rehabilitation Or A Requiem? The Vigil Is On For NIDO In my comment, I asked for the recusal of the Ambassador and all other government representative, in order to at least give an appearance of independence and lack of governmental control. Bamidele Ojo March 2001
Nigerians, Stop The Scams! An Urgent and Passionate Plea from Malaysia It is not only shameful but is sickening, disgusting and downright pathetic. It looks like the Nigerian money scam is an approved business by the Government of Nigeria however degrading it may be. I say this based on the endless number of scam letters and faxes we seem to be getting........ By Bonifacia Pires, Malaysia January 2001

The real damage that armed robbers do in Nigeria A plea for societal change We understand that several fellow Nigerians passed by him, lying helplessly and struggling to stay alive, but there was no "Good Samaritan", No "911 or 999" emergency telephone number to call for an ambulance. No police officers came to his rescue. By 9am, Femi Esan had died from the gunshot wounds. Dr. Toks Owo
The road to recovery: A plea for 'relief' of some of Nigeria's debt In the 1930s, the U.S.A. forgave debts owed by Britain, France and Italy....Germany's economic recovery after the Second World War was fueled by generous aid packages and a writeoff of much of its debts in 1953, from some European countries & the U.S.A. {part of which was the "Marshall Plan"}...By Dr. Toks Owo, President, Nigeria's Promise
Open Letter To President Clinton My intent in this letter is to attempt to acquaint you with the facts on the issues that are convoluting to destabilize Nigeria’s democracy. As a visiting American head of state, the only remaining superpower, what you will do or say to Nigerians will mean a lot. Even though I know that you do not need anybody telling you about what is ailing Nigeria, for the county’s dirty linens have been washed many times over on the world stage; yet, I suspect that a few things bordering on the Nigerian factor may not be apparent to you....By Ignatius Ukwu Nnaekpe
A Open Letter To Nigeria's Political Leaders The alleged corrupt acts leveled against Senator Chuba Okadigbo, Haruna Abubakar and certain elected members of the National Assembly are very grave. If proven, it will mark an inglorious return to a criminal political past. For now, we assume innocence of these officials until proven guilty. Nevertheless, the mere hint of impropriety, in the midst of widespread pauperisation of Nigerian citizens, can only be viewed as a mark of a callous and insensitive political leadership....Petition led by Dr. Nubi Achebo
Before Clinton Comes....! We are already receiving visits by American security agents and the press as we prepare to mount the world's stage. However, all the expected dividend may amount to nought if the authorities do nothing about the 3 week old spectacle on Eko Bridge, beside NEPA's coal-fired power station. It is the body of a person crushed and plastered to the concrete, weathered by the elements, the stench and gory sight taken in by all and sundry on the way into the nation's commercial capital, former political capital and "Centre of Excellence". A brave observer once exclaimed "E be like say dem don commot the head O!"..... by Bolade Oyebolu

Letter to Mr. President: Making Sacrifices for Progress and the Price of Petrol We cannot expect an anemic patient to donate blood. We must therefore examine the alternatives we have. If we were not to increase fuel price, what can we do to raise the amount of money to pay what we owe? This is a challenge to all Nigerians under the supervision of dynamic and forward thinking economists.....by Juwon Adenuga
This is where you meet the writers! These are Nigerians who love to put their pens (or PC keyboards) to work.....They think about stuff, then they write about stuff. They see things from angles we may have missed....They make us nod in agreement to their insight and wisdom...They make us smile with their wit....
This is where you can read stories...hilarious and insightful or sobering and agonizing...about life and other general observations of the eclectic Nigerian culture.
