President Goodluck Jonathan: "The fierce urgency of now" by Tunde Adenodi. March 01, 2010 In 1963, Dr Martin Luther King made his famous “I have a dream speech” on the grounds of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. He talked about the ‘fierce urgency of now” in the context of segregation, discrimination and economic emancipation of the black race. I do not expect Jonathan to be a Martin Luther King. His antecedents do not support such a conjecture. But he cannot afford to be a … uhm… a Shehu Shagari or Tafawa Balewa or indeed, Umar Musa Yar‘Adua.  NigerianNews Special   NIGERIA: A terrorist Country? by Tunde Adenodi. February 16, 2010 As if to prove them right, there was yet another ethno-religious riot in Jos-Bauchi axis of the periodic theater of mayhem in northern Nigeria so soon after the attack of the under-pant airline bomber: Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab. And they are hoping that no one, not even the United States government of President Obama, would notice the nexus in these two seemingly unrelated events. On the Northwest airplane, the attack was directed at 300 innocent multinationals, Nigerians included and on the Nigerian attack, against hundreds of innocent Nigerians; in the name of the Almighty God.  NigerianNews Special   Nigeria: How our leaders destroyed the country by Tunde Adenodi. July 22, 2009 What started as a dream of the trio of Zik, Bello and Awo has now become a nightmare of our generation. Sometimes, I call it a “daymare” for my generation and the one that follows. It is an embarrassment to all black people of the world and a source of shame and odium for black people of the USA, particularly the President of the United States, Barack Obama. And if it means anything, I am now ashamed of Nigeria just like millions of Nigerians in Diaspora. NigerianNews Special
