Nigeria and the Journey to 2023 by Olaogun Michael Sunkanmi

Here are some of things we must critically look out for in every #contestant if me must make headway as a nation as we journey to 2023:

1. Age
2. Pedigree
3. Health Status 
4. Track Records
5. Mental Alertness
6. Academic Qualifications

The aforementioned has cost Nigeria years possible unrecoverable retrogression. And if care is not taken, if usual factor(s), such as religious and ethnic affiliation remains the determinant factor,  Nigerians should be ready to journey another years progressive backwardness.

                                                  For decades, Africa has been described as the continent of the future. It is home to the world's youngest population, vast natural resources, and immense entrepreneurial potential. Yet, despite these advantages, Africa remains largely dependent on external sources for the research and innovation needed to solve its most pressing challenges. This dependence is not merely a funding issue; it is a development challenge that threatens the continent's ability to shape its own future. If Africa is serious about achieving sustainable development, economic transformation, and global competitiveness, it must prioritize indigenous research funding. Today, a significant proportion of research conducted in African universities and research institutions is financed by foreign governments, international development agencies, an...

  As the Orangun of Oke-Ila , Oba Adedokun Abolarin (Abolarin Aroyinkun I) approaches two decades on the throne, his reign offers an opportunity to reflect on a remarkable journey of traditional leadership, service, compassion and community transformation. Twenty years on the throne is not simply a celebration of longevity; it is an opportunity to examine the values that have shaped the reign and the lives that have been touched by it. Among the most compelling dimensions of the Orangun's leadership is his passion for young people and his conviction that the future of any society is inseparable from the opportunities it creates for its children. Prior to his ascension on the throne on December 8, 2006 Orangun found one of its most meaningful expressions in education and the empowerment of young people , particularly children from disadvantaged backgrounds. His commitment to the indigent students of Abolarin College represents a powerful example of how traditional leadership can mo...

  By Michael Olaogun In every society, there comes a moment when the pursuit of justice collides with public perception. Nigeria is no stranger to such moments, and the recent controversies surrounding the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and some youths in Ekiti State present yet another opportunity for sober reflection. While opinions have sharply divided along emotional, political, and social lines, the situation raises a more fundamental question: where should society draw the line between legitimate law enforcement and the protection of citizens' rights? The answer lies neither in the wholesale condemnation of the EFCC nor in the blanket defence of every young person caught in its operations. Rather, it lies in upholding the rule of law, ensuring accountability, and preserving the dignity of every Nigerian. There is no disputing the importance of the EFCC in Nigeria's fight against corruption, cybercrime, money laundering, and financial fraud. Since its esta...
