New York Learning Hub’s Giant Strides With Reginald Nwamara

In less than a year, the New York Learning Hub has risen to become one of the fastest-growing business schools in the world. As the pioneers of unconventional style of training in the academic world, the United States-headquartered institution is poised to soar even higher and work tirelessly to set smash new targets and reach new goals. 

In this revealing interview with Africa Digital News, New York, one of the dynamic brains behind most of these successes who doubles as the Business Development Director/Consultant of the institution, Mr. Ugo Reginald Nwamara tells us more about the secrets behind these giant …

Lawan's Coup And The Recklessness Of The Nigerian Judiciary

Lawan’s Coup And The Recklessness Of The Nigerian Judiciary

The concept of Justice is not a natural phenomenon to humans who are naturally prone to unjust and selfish actions, but the struggle for justice remains one of the noblest acts in society. The pursuit of justice in Nigeria has come under very intense attack lately, and even more worrisome is the fact that it is the institution which is being looked up to protect the rule of law that is now raping it gruesomely. 

The judiciary in Nigeria is confronted with a challenge of credibility that is as old as the return of democracy in 1999. Bearing in mind …

Buhari's 2015 - 2023 The Worst Time To Live In Nigeria

Buhari’s 2015 – 2023: The Worst Time To Live In Nigeria

When President Muhammadu Buhari leaves office in a few months’ time, Nigerians will not forget him in a hurry. A number of Nigerians have jokingly suggested that getting a ‘certificate of survival’ won’t be bad for anyone who pulls through to the post-Buhari days and this will certainly not be a bad idea. Just like he did during his first stint as a military dictator, Buhari has spent the last seven years unleashing suffering on Nigerians that will leave one wondering what exactly their crime was.

The state of the Nigerian economy under Buhari over the last seven years have …

Tinubu's War With Buhari's Cabal

Tinubu’s War With Buhari’s Cabal: Has Jagaban Been Tamed?

Regardless of how one chooses to look at it, these are certainly not the best of times for the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The relationship between himself and the man he claims to have made President eight years ago is clearly not the blossoming one that the minions of both individuals have continuously painted for Nigerians.

The cordiality of Tinubu’s relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari and some key figures in his party has been nothing close to being excellent. A fortnight ago, Hajia Naja’atu Muhammad who is the director, Civil Society Liaison, …

PDP G-5 Govs When Mature Men Dance Naked In Public

PDP G-5 Govs: When Mature Men Dance Naked In Public

In recent times, the group of five Governors of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has grown to become a public nuisance. Last December, through their garrulous leader and spokesman who doubles as the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike, they had promised to name a Presidential candidate in January and join his campaign train, despite the furore generated by that proclamation, it is one week into February and the spinless Governors are still hiding under their disillusionment. 

Over the last eight months, the G-5 Governors who also call themselves the ‘Integrity’ group of Governors, made up of Governors Nyesome Wike …

The US Must Put A Stop To Surging Gun Deaths Now

The US Must Put A Stop To Surging Gun Deaths Now

The United States of America is at gunpoint; literally. Americans, day in and day out find their heads at the tip of a pistol or get shot dead when going about their daily business. The media is rife with stories of students killing their teachers and fellow students, spouses killing their partners, kids, and themselves, and even religious fanatics wiping large numbers of people off the earth’s surface just because they can.

Of course, it suffices to say that the country is at the mercy of merciless, aimless, and senseless killers who have made it such that the blood …

2023 Election Why No Nigerian Politician Should Be Trusted

2023 Election: Why No Nigerian Politician Should Be Trusted

For many decades, many Nigerians have continued to blindly trust politicians and leaders who appear at every election curve to tell them the things they love to hear. Time and time again, these cruel politicians have continued to unapologetically smash their hopes and aspirations without consequences and the Nigerian situation has only continued to get worse.

Nigerian politicians have consistently failed to deliver on the many promises they make over time. A careful look at the campaign promises that have been dished out from political podiums since the 1979 elections shows that the themes and promises are the same: that …

Buhari's Cluelessness Has Set Nigeria On Autopilot

Buhari’s Cluelessness Has Set Nigeria On Autopilot

You cannot give what you don’t have they say and that’s a fact. When a clueless leader like President Muhammadu Buhari is allowed to take over the cockpit of a badly worn-out aircraft like Nigeria, the outcome can be very easy to predict. President Buhari, on record, is officially Nigeria’s worst nemesis and if you permit, the worst leader to be produced by the country.

This postulation is not in any way trying to suggest that Nigeria has not had a fair share of bad leaders in the past or that her problems started with President Buhari. No, faf from …

Prof. Nze's The Genocide

Prof. Nze’s The Genocide: 1967 – 1970, And Its Sad Reality

Healing will always naturally come where there is justice and hence whenever justice is denied, any efforts made at chasing peace and reconciliation will thus always end up an exercise in futility. The question is; does Nigeria want genuine healing that can help it eventually lay events of the last 63 years to rest? The answer is simply embedded in her body language which is a screaming No.

The avoidable deaths of more than three million people as a result of the brutal genocide which took place between 1967 -1970 is one that can never be swept under the carpet. …

Rented Rally Crowds The Stark Symptom Of Failed Leadership

Rented Rally Crowds: The Stark Symptom Of Failed Leadership

In less than 25 days, Nigerian politicians will once again attempt to outdo themselves in their quest to inherit the seat currently occupied by President Muhammadu Buhari. Just as they have always done, they have once again unleashed theatrical moves to win the hearts of Nigerians and sway potential voters using large crowds. The age-long perceptual game of showing strength in the size of crowds they are able to pull off is presently in full throttle and many Nigerians do not even understand that they are merely pawns.

This game which has taken its roots deeply in the political …

Scholarships For 100,000 Nigerians At New York Learning Hub

Scholarships For 100,000 Nigerians At New York Learning Hub

Many words have been used to describe education, just as so many quotes have been coined about the same topic. But the simple quote by Marian Wright Edelman on the topic will always resound across time and generations. It reads ‘Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it’ and it couldn’t be any more correct.

The New York Learning Hub is, in no small way, bringing this quote to life by stopping at nothing and leaving no stone unturned in a bid to improve the lives of Nigerians, …

Scarcity Of New Naira: CBN Can't Get It Right With Emefiele

Scarcity Of New Naira: CBN Can’t Get It Right With Emefiele

Ever since he lost his bid to transfer his cluelessness, insensitivity, and screaming incompetence from Nigeria’s apex bank to Aso Rock, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefelie has not been the same man he was known to have always been. Suddenly, he has found the balls he hitherto lacked, he has remembered his economic theories which he previously never cared about, and for the first time, he seems to be out to fight the rascality in the Nigerian monetary environment. However, the big question is, can a Leopard change its colours? The simple answer is
