The Etisalat Example by Dr. Kazeem Bello.

The Abu Dhabi Government that owned Etisalat pulled the company out of Nigeria last week and gave the Nigerian ex-partners 7 days to change its name and drop its Trade name. That has been complied with. Etisalat Nigeria changed the name this past week. The news information about this I monitored on my travel to Dubai on the local news which indicated that the Nigerian Etisalat claimed it invested over $20 billion on equipment and facilities in Nigeria. The news Analyst from Dubai Business New Network TV insisted that it is not possible. The parent company invested $13 billion in Gulf Area to attract over 40 million subscribers, with high world class services , how can Etisalat Nigeria invest $20 billion for 22 million subscribers with epileptic services and a debt ridden company? The Abu Dhabi home office is struggling to remove the negative effect of the news on the company's stock market performance. It is being very difficult because the numbers are not adding up. The ques...

New Book: Judenrein, a Jewish Dystopian Thriller, Issues a Stark Warning of Rising American Anti-Semitism

New book by Harold Benjamin envisions the fate of American Jews after white supremacists seize the reins of power in Washington The book uses suspense to convey a stark warning to American Jews, based on rising anti-Semitism. The story envisions the fate of America’s Jews after a white supremacist cabal seizes power in the federal government. “The Jews have enjoyed a level of freedom and prosperity in the United States that they hadn’t experienced for the previous two thousand years, but there are warnings all over the place that it’s about to end,” said a spokesperson for the publisher, Intrados Publishing. “Judenrein tries to imagine what the destruction of American Jewry might look like—and offers a suspenseful adventure and a compelling, if flawed hero who fights to save the day.” The word “Judenrein” is German for “free of Jews.” The Nazis used it to describe their dream of liquidating Europe’s Jewish population. The au...

A GIFT IS RECOGNISED IN LAW AS A COMPLETE VOLUNTARY TRANSFER OF INTEREST IN A PROPERTY OR THING AND CAN NOT BE RESCINDED, REVOKED OR RETRIEVED By Pelumi Olajengbesi Esq.

Generally, gifts given out cannot be retrieved under the law except if the gifts is conditional or does not meet up with the requisite conditions that satisty an act as a gift.

Book Review: Rambling on Borrowed Time is what you expect from a Brilliant Teacher who has Spent Several Years Inspiring People.

A good book is like a diamond mine that never runs out. It is priceless. Successful authors have mastered the art of carrying their readers along. This art is endearing. It leaves the reader yearning for more. In David Ellison’s book, “Rambling on Borrowed Time”, I found happiness. It was hard to drop. We learn new tricks every single day. The book is what you expect from a brilliant teacher who has spent several years inspiring people. During his thirty-six-year career, David Ellison was a teacher, mentor teacher, school administrator, education columnist and community activist. He worked in schools foreign and domestic, public and private, grades four through college. His treks through five continents included volunteering in far-flung villages, and surviving harrowing adventures. He served as the New Haven Unified and the American Council of School Administrators Region VI Teacher of the Year in 1996. Now retired, Ellison reads, writes, hikes, kayaks,...

Rapid fire Thoughts on Libya: What Africa Needs to Do.

I was on a national radio program here yesterday to offer my thoughts on the recent tragedy of black slave auctions in Libya. Here we go. 1) I am shocked and outraged like everyone else but I am not surprised. 2) I am not surprised that black Africans are being auctioned in broad daylight in Libya because I am not divorcing what is happening now as we speak from the overall history of the Arab Slave Trade in black Africa. 3) It is more fashionable to talk about the trans-Atlantic slave trade which moved millions of black Africans to the Americas. The history of Arab enslavers of black Africans is not well-known. It is hardly present in the school curriculum in Africa. 4) Yet, Arab Slave slave traders and hunters preceded European slave traders and hunters in black Africa by seven centuries. 5) For seven continuous centuries before the Europeans, Arabs traded in black bodies, routed them through North Africa to be sold all over Arabia and the Middle East as slaves....

KILL THE DRUNKEN POLICEMAN.

One sad day, I stopped at a printing press to pick some copies of my books. Then I decided to take Lawanson and connect Oshodi expressway through Itire road. I was alone in the car. After covering a good distance away from the Oba's palace at Itire, I ran into some policemen. About four or more were in a van and one was standing in the middle of the road. He was a monument in a vast land. I think it was his turn to contribute to the fraud of the Nigerian state that is a tragedy of a 21st century. He waved me to stop. So I slammed my leg on the brake and slowed down. My car rolled to the corner and parked few poles away from their van. Then the creature whose eyes were crimson red and his head shaven like an egg walked up to me. "Good evening,” he said. He smelled like a bar and let go a yawn that took some time to mix with the air. "What do you have in your boot?" he asked and kept a straight face. "My books!" I said and flashed an exaggerated ...

MY FRIDAY ARENA by Usman Rayyanu Dabai

With the emerging trend of young Nigerian youths who are supposed to be educated enough to know how to resolve the Nigerian conundrum getting more confused than the present bunch that constitutes the political class,it is safe and sound to submit that we still have many years to endure the present inanities and mediocre leadership that suffuse the political landscape. Brimming with so much energy and 'intellect',one would have expected(especially those of us w ho don't know much) that this set of people should be able to articulate concrete steps on how to move the country forward. They rail and rant. They condemn the status quo using high-sounding rhetoric and some fashion-beaten political grammars,yet they cannot pinpoint a formidable alternative to the present political configuration. Does that solve the problem? Never.That will never be. I am told there is an ocean of distinction between being an ideologue and being a realist..The former live an...
