Workers of Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies(MDA) in Oyo State have abandoned the detained national coordinator of the Federal Workers Forum(FWF), Comrade Andrew Emelieze, as he continues to languish in detention. The workers, who openly exhibit nonchalance and indifference towards the plight of the detained activist, have overtime benefited from their struggles and activism for better working conditions for workers. In his remarks, the state coordinator of the FWF, Comrade Victor Osungboun, called for the unconditional release of Comrade Emeleize by the secret police. ''The reason for his detention revolves around the protests we staged on 5th May 2025 for the payment of all the outstanding arrears of federal workers.  This is in addition to the protests against hunger and poverty that have become the way of life of workers in the country, Comrade Osungboun lamented. Comrade Emelieze has been detained incommunicado for several days in the detention facility of the s...

  The improvement in the system of transportation, to a very great measure, increases the physical extent and economic size of a country. However, in the Nigerian context, a number of factors have negatively affected the transport system and this has resulted in an astronomical rise in the prices of goods and services beyond the reach of a majority of the population. The prohibitive transportation costs coupled with the multiple taxation across the country and the unabating insecurity have all succeeded in ensuring that Nigerians remain in a perpetual state of hunger and poverty. Curiously, levels of government have channeled generated revenue from multiple taxes, unproductively, to real estate, while Nigerians continue to daily count their landed property losses. Indeed, the government at all levels have always contended with inadequate financial organization and the relevant knowledge. Sadly, economic stagnation is now a major characteristic in most cities that are contending wit...

Adolf Hitler labeled the extermination of the Jews in Europe' the final solution', while the military dictatorship in Argentina, which embarked on an unprecedented killing of its citizens, code named the same ''The process of National Integration''.  The activities of insurgents and armed herdsmen, which have claimed thousands of lives, are similar to the above-mentioned things.  Between 1976 and 1983, millions of citizens lost their lives in Argentina. Death squads operating under secret circumstances and under the cover of the state murdered about 11, 000 people, which are now described as ''The Disappeared''.  Two million people escaped persecution, while hundreds of babies born to ''The Disappeared'' were either sold, bartered or murdered.  Indeed, events in many states of Nigeria, including Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Borno among others, indicate that the government is fully aware of the insecurity, even as the killings continue....

Most public primary and secondary school students learn in environments that are not encouraging in Nigeria.  The facilities have been stretched to obsolete conditions as a result of improper planning by the government at all levels.  Considering the dilapidated toilet facilities in several of these schools and the absence of potable and drinkable water, the potential outbreak of an epidemic cannot be ruled out. Teachers are no longer dedicated to duty due to their nightmarish working conditions.  Cultism has taken root in most of these schools, while "armed robbers" in school uniforms dot the nooks and crannies of every part of the country.  Indeed, cultists, mostly young people, are now strategic stakeholders in elections in many states. Of worry is the lack of sincerity on the part of the government in the implementation of programs and policies.  On the part of private schools, moral decadence, which is a major feature in public schools, is the issue, while ...
