Cultural Neglect In Africa When Religion Overshadows Roots

Cultural Neglect In Africa: When Religion Overshadows Roots

In a continent marked by an intricate mosaic of cultures, languages, and traditions, Africa stands as a poignant testament to human diversity. It’s often referred to as the cradle of civilisation, a place where humanity itself took its first tentative steps. Today, however, Africa is witnessing a tectonic shift in its social landscape, a change symbolized by the ever-growing silhouettes of church spires and mosque minarets against its skies.

Atiku And Obi's Supreme Court 'Appeal': A Futile Endeavour

Atiku And Obi’s Supreme Court ‘Appeal’: A Futile Endeavour

If ever there were an illustration of futility, it would be the decision of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi to appeal the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal’s judgment at the Supreme Court. The tribunal’s well-reasoned verdict, affirming President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 elections, should have been the end of the story. Instead, Atiku and Obi have opted to carry on this charade, misleading their followers into believing that they still have a fighting chance.

The five-member tribunal panel, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, left no room for doubt in their ruling. They meticulously went through the petitions and allegations, …

Natural Foods That Lower High Blood Pressure: A Guide

Portable At NBA Event: A Blow To Legal Ethics In Nigeria

Portable At NBA Event: A Blow To Legal Ethics In Nigeria

The shockwaves of the decision rippled not just through the legal community, but also among social media users and the public at large. The uproar has its roots in the singer’s reputation for controversial lyrics and behaviour, deemed by many as inappropriate and antithetical to the ethos of a profession committed to justice, integrity, and community service. If the law is supposed to be a moral compass guiding society, inviting a figure like Portable to perform at an NBA event sends a conflicting signal.

This isn’t merely a one-off event to be brushed aside. It’s reflective of deeper, systemic …

In the lexicon of global innovation, Africa remains a paradox—both a footnote and a wellspring of untapped potential.

The pressing dilemma, however, lies in transforming this latent human capital into a dynamic force for continental and global benefit.

Rethinking NYSC: Addressing Hidden Security Risks In Nigeria

In the heart of Africa’s most populous country lies a paradox—a program founded with the noble intentions of fostering national unity and providing opportunities for youth now stands as a debilitating albatross around the neck of progress. The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), a mandatory one-year service program for Nigerian university graduates, has in recent years devolved into a cauldron of inefficiency, ineffectiveness, and looming peril. Designed to dissolve ethnic divisions and catalyse youth development, the NYSC has lost its bearing, morphing into a financial drain on a struggling economy and a security risk too high for comfort.
