GET BOOKS ON AWOLOWO AND NIGERIAN POLITICAL LEADERS Chief Obafemi Awolowo: The Political Moses is a story of a man who dedicated the entirety of his life to serve humanity and the development of mankind. The Author makes use of the noun Moses to depict the tiresome journey of an activist who fought rigorously alongside others to gain independence for his people. The fact that his ambition to be president of Nigeria was foiled is in itself a matter of discussion transcending the Nigerian political debate till now. As late Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu once said Awolowo, the Best President Nigeria never had. The book investigates the celebrated treasonable felony of 1962; bringing into focus the case hearings and the political unrest of the period, party system and political parties in Nigeria, Nigeria electoral processes from Pre-colonial era to the fourth republic, review of political prisoners around the world, and making succinct recommendations for Nigeria electoral processes.

"RESTORING FAITH IN GOVERNANCE : THE UZODINMA STRATEGY* *TO ALL NDI IMO.* *OUR VISION* To galvanise Imo people to aspire and achieve together. To ensure that Imo comes before self-interest as we promote the tenets of one people, one destiny. To support, promote and place Imo State on the horizon of limitless opportunities while telling it as it is without bias, compromise, prejudice, favouritism or partisanship. *OUR MISSION* The need for clarity, certainty and accuracy in understanding the workings of the government in Imo State has never been more urgent than now.

Mr. President, You Said It All: AT Age 51 Nigeria Is Still In a State of Institutional Collapse Because of Leadership Disorderliness? Sir, the depth and enduring nature of Nigeria’s institutional woes has proved fertile ground for psychological analysis and guidance. And here is why: Professional psychologists remain vast about the institutional effects of instability in regards to human hardship as in many of life’s grittier issues; among them are hopeless, pain, helplessness and general nostalgia. Sir, these psychological issues are direct consequences of Nigeria’s disordered and ungoverned politics with ongoing massive negative effect on the masses. Ironically and notably, this same institutional disorderliness brings fraudulent gains to many in charge of our institutions. Sir, in your speech to mark Nigeria’s 51st anniversary of independence from British colonial powers in a just, open and despondent manner, you talked about institutional and systemic breakdown in the country...

I have decided to remind the stakeholders in all the oil producing countries and consumers of the following important report, because most of them missed it. 10 Jan 2008 15:26 Africa/Lagos Global Oil Supply Challenges Will Drive Crude Prices to US$150: CIBC World Markets LONDON, January 10/PRNewswire/ -- - Modest Russian Production Growth to be Gobbled up by Domestic Demand CIBC (CM: TSX; NYSE) - Consumers should brace for a 50 per cent jump in oil prices in the near future as global oil supply will increasingly have trouble keeping pace with demand, forecasts a new energy report from CIBC World Markets.

"Those projections ignore two fundamental forces that have, in recent ...
