Let the action begin, President Buhari
By Dele Momodu
Your Excellency, please permit me to start by congratulating you on
your swearing-in as Nigeria’s President and Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces.
Sir, it has been a very long and arduous journey back to the State
House; such an epic battle, to say the least. Yours is an eloquent
confirmation of the dictum that it is never over until it is over. There
is a lesson for all to learn in your uncommon determination,
extraordinary tenacity, great perseverance and tremendous patience and
equanimity. According to William Shakespeare “all is well that ends
well.”

Why change in Nigeria matters to the rest of the world
By Madeleine Albright and Johnnie Carson
This week, something unprecedented is happening in Africa’s most
populous country, where groundbreaking political change is underway.
Nigeria’s incumbent president will step down and a new president from
another political party, Muhammadu Buhari, will be sworn in.
The March election that brought Mr. Buhari to office was a political
triumph for Nigeria and a positive step for the future of democracy in
sub-Saharan Africa. Few expected that the election would be peaceful or
credible, but the Nigerian people demanded nothing less.
Thank you and farewell Dr. Jonathan
By Enenim Ubon
“I am always content with what happens; for I know that what God chooses is better than what I choose”
– Epictetus
The above quotation is a summary of the life of Dr Jonathan. A man
who in 16 years of Nigeria’s (return to) democracy has risen from deputy
governor to president; a position many Nigerians would give ANYTHING to
attain. As the saying goes “who God has blessed, no man can curse”, Dr
Jonathan is a man ordained from birth for great exploits. From the back
waters of a polluted Ijaw community, ‘Jona’ has become a global citizen.
