Over the course of countless centuries, much before the advent of Christianity, Ndigbo had tried to maintain a good public image as a people cradled in moderation, modesty, and rational frugality. This was evident in the way and manner they organized and hosted social functions. Emphasis is placed more on the subject of the occasion than on its side attractions and frivolities.

At the return to democracy in 1999, the federal government under former President Obasanjo was bent on redefining our global image, reorientating our psychosocial spirality, and re-engineering our national order. Having been under the junta regime for 33 out of our then 39 years of nationhood, the government felt we should begin our democratic experiment by walking our consciousness back into what is the norm and ethos of living in a free world where people rule themselves by those they choose through the electoral process.

An acute scourge of social plebeianism, peasant mentality, and anthropological mediocrity is plaguing our national consciousness, and it is very unfortunate. But that's what you get each time tribalism, nepotism and ethnicism take front seats as drivers of our national polity.

Where are our investigative reporters? Where are our development researchers? One thing we need to find out now is how much the sinkhole called ‘frontier basin development’ has gulped in the last 5, 10, 15, 20 years. In simple terms, Nigeria is exploring other sedimentary basins, including Bida, Gongola, Sokoto, Benue Trough, and Dahomey in an attempt to diversify the country’s hydrocarbon resources to complement over 93 percent of Nigeria’s oil production which comes from the Niger Delta basin alone.

"Sports do not build character; they reveal it." - Heywood Broun.
The 1993/94 squad of the Super Eagles of Nigeria remains the most famous and illustrious in the anals of our national sports history. No set has surpassed their heroism so far. Not even the then golden boys of 1993 under-17 world cup, and the dream team that won gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta Georgia could compare with them.

A worrying trend that may have contributed to fostering the strained socio-political situation in the country is the prevalent activities of faceless persons whose intentions are clearly anything but altruistic. While some of them may masquerade as victims of the public service or as social crusaders, their real intentions are to drag institutions of state and their functionaries into disrepute.

"I am a Nigerian because a white man created Nigeria and gave me that identity. I am black because the white man constructed black to be as different as possible from his white. But I was Igbo before the white man came."

"Do you believe this man is from God? Whether he is from God, I do not know, but all I know is that he made me well."
While Nigerians were still trying to reconcile in their heads the ban on Tweeter operation in Nigeria in this 21st century by President Buhari, something akin to an unidentified flying object (UFO) hit our information superhighway on June 5, 2021.

In 2012, one Mr. A.A Obi (a Medical Laboratory Scientist) with Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) Nnewi, went against a 'popular convention' to vie for the office of Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the hospital, and the whole heaven was let loose! Physicians protested against how a paramedical health worker could have the balls to challenge them in a position that was 'exclusively' reserved for the -- holders of MBBS certificates. They forgot it is called the Ministry of Health not the Ministry of Medicine and Surgery!

On June 12, this year, Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country and the continent’s social and economic hub, would be celebrating its “Democracy Day”, made possible through the magnitude of President Muhammadu Buhari’s (PMB’s) political will. The President had wisely picked “June 12” above “May 29”, which was observed for about two decades as “Democracy Day”, by former Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s presidency and a couple administrations after his. May 29 ceased to be recognized as “Democracy Day” on June 6, 2019, by the instrumentality of President Buhari’s pronouncement.
