VENEZUELA: Opposition Leader Declares Self President

-
Venezuelan opposition leader, Giuado Hiuan has declared himself as the country's interim president amidst surging crowd of protesters in Caracas. 

 Mr Giuaed is the head of the country's parliament, and his vociferous opposition has received the support of the United States, with president Trump emphasising that the leadership of Nicolas Maduro remains illegitimate.                                                                                                                                                          
This position of the United States has also been taken by other five countries still within the southern American axis.  
Venezuela has suffered from economic crisis for the most part of Nicolas Maduro, triggering protest.

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-
Image
Very applauding, it was, to hear of the news of the resignation of the minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun. It's very commendable because it is one act very rare in this our clime. It just seems that the penchant for relevance and money has denied the vast majority of the people that essential sense of integrity. That denial is one that has brought about the desire to cling unto power even in the midst of opprobrious criticism to just step down. We've had several instances were public officials formed deaf ears to scathing allegations against their persons and offices until some powers force them out. The case of the erstwhile SGF, Babachir remains atypical.  One can now understand why Kemi's step is such remarkable and verily one that needs to be commended. But the truth is that, as easily obtained in the western world, taking an exit when the heat is on and there's suspicion here and there is but a natural thing. This is to say, even as much as we could appreci...

WTO: The Issue With Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's Nomination

-
I've been keenly following the developments as regards nominations for the position of the Director General of the World Trade Organization, WTO, especially as its concerns the general ratification by the African regional body, AU, to field a consensus candidate. In doing that I've looked at the nomination of Fred Yunov Agah and the eventual substitution with Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (NOI) by Nigeria, together with the dissension by Egypt, a contender in the forthcoming WTO election and a top interested party in the choice of Africa Union consensus candidacy. I have looked at it critically from three widely separate angles of national patriotism, independent objectivity and in the light of regional sense of justice. At a point, I sought to be overwhelmed by the flying influence of one over the others- that of having to view at the stronger propensity in standing a robust change internationally to clinch this post by Nigeria, in the event of NOI staying as a nominee.  That advantage ...

EndPoliceBrutality: Time for National Reforms

-
  Nigerian youths finally have decided it's time they took the bull by the horns in giving direction to the future they desire. With the launch of the endsars movement which was focused as an onslaught against long tales of incidences of police brutality, the demand has serenaded to an emphatic demand for good governance, good economic programs and extensive national rebirth. The #EndSARS protest which commenced on the 7th of October within the major cities of Lagos and Abuja, was specifically meant to send a message to the government that the SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) unit of the Nigeria police have shown to not be only irresponsible but wicked, having totally strayed from their responsibility to protect the people and maintain law and  order and has instead turned to be inhuman, barbaric and monsters against the same people they're meant to protect. They had at such in expressing their bulging anger of many years taken to the streets, having boldly as their immediate...
