Two weeks ago, a journalist asked Andrew Cuomo, the vigorous and dynamic governor of New York, on what he plans to do on the economy after the coronavirus pandemic days are over, to which he said that he was not thinking about the economy yet. He said all he was thinking on at the time I am x-raying was how [...]
Howbeit that our civilization was able to land a man on the moon , but could not detect and control a virus so tiny in dimension that it strains the eye to see even with the aid of a powerful microscope? We have developed computers that can process and deliver information on virtually any subject in nano seconds, yet we [...]
This is one of the most profound statements about the human race you will ever come across: “We were all humans until race disconnected us, religion separated us, politics divided us and wealth classified us.” I don’t know the author (I’ve seen it attributed to Susan Boerner, the American artist) but I know one thing: as the entire world comes [...]
In discussing the above topic, permit me to begin from a seemingly intangible occurrence that happened during the week that just ended. Yoruba Waka music singer, Salawa Abeni caused a stir on the information highway last Wednesday when she released her own nude pictures on social media. The 58-year-old musician was being blackmailed by a certain Jason who threatened to [...]
Forgive me if I repeat myself. I may have written about some of what I will write about here at a previous recent occasion. I am writing with almost unprecedented energy after I visited Arise TV a few minutes ago, to attend a financial show with ace anchor, Charles Aniagolu. The station is situated inside Transcorp Hilton Hotel, which I [...]
I have read many articles by experts stating that the COVID-19 pandemic will reach an alarming rate about two weeks from now in Africa. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa has asked for an emergency economic stimulus of $100 billion for Africa. I have even read about recommendations for immediate debt relief for developing countries which shows the seriousness [...]
Coronavirus is biting nations hard. Across the globe, the number of infections rises daily; lives and nations are being torn apart. Global cases exceed one million mark with over 50,000 deaths. In Nigeria, COVID-19 cases had risen close to 200. The daily increase is worrisome. If we do not quickly arrest the rate of increase, we might soon face what [...]
One would ordinarily have dismissed the “controversy” around 5G technology and the strange connection with COVID-19 being stridently pursued by some people as ignorant rants occasioned by the morbid fear of the rampaging Coronavirus, but with the prevailing circumstances of fear and tension, I have elected, as one familiar with the workings of the telecommunications industry, to say something. Several years [...]
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is here to teach us a lesson; I hope we learn. Nigeria’s healthcare is unhealthy. But instead of fixing it our rulers have been busy flying up and down to benefit from other country's productive health system. With Coronavirus, reality is upon us. No more running overseas for medical vacation. Our rulers cannot travel to the United Kingdom, [...]
The fear of the unknown is looming large all over the world because coronavirus is trending as front page news for the wrong reasons. People are dying every day due to infections from COVID19 but we are hopeful that scientists who are working round the clock would soon develop a vaccine to tackle corona, the ultimate virus that has caused [...]
