On 27th July, 2019, 39 year old Olukemi Olufunto Badenoch MP (nee AdegOlukemi Olufunto Badenochoke), born to Nigerian parents, was announced as the new Under Secretary of State for Children and Families in Great Britain. The Early Years sector falls under her office which is similar to the Federal Minister of State for Women Affairs in Nigeria. Nigerians making a difference around the world.

And now that he is President Buhari, democracy ultimately demand that we keep reminding him of the competence expected from him in finding answers to the basic problems and overwhelming challenges confronting…
By Ifeanyi Ubakanwa When one sees how Nigerians become captive to new governments and castigate the former ones, one could easily say that they don’t deserve any kind of pity. If they don’t pity themselves, why pity them? But for the level of our civic and political enlightenment, I write to use the ongoing rascality of Jasper Ndubuaku committee set up by the Imo state government to opine that government is a continuum and should be handled with caution. No matter the level of abomination committed by the government of Sen. Rochas Okorocha, Rochas is still not the devil and…
BY MANDI RENNIE My number six child was a bit of a rebel. I had real problems getting him to come home from hanging out with his friends.

Also, if he was on time, he’d get special hot chocolate, with cream, fudge chips, flake and sprinkles, as well as pizza from the takeout and a movie, whichever…
