National Climate Change Policy and Nigerian Floods.


Climate change, Floods and government responsibility.

Climate change is no longer an issue that is only discussed by a few elite groups in Nigeria. An ordinary Nigerian is currently facing the impacts, making life harder than it already was and governments keep saying that they are doings something about it. Well yes there are.

My New Nigeria. By Precious Arutase Forcados


A day after our great country's independence I decide to write you this. I want to advocate for my client Nigeria, and plead her case before those (NIGERIANS) who had charge her to the noble courts of COMPLAINTS (that might included you & me).

One of my teachers, Wale Salami, said ''Nigeria does not have a problem, Nigerians do''.

Before now we would have thought about so many things about our country, if we where to debate against the country you can outline flawlessly so many points to convince me and others not to live in Nigeria.

Ghana Celebrates International Peace Day.

Mr Lovans Owusu Takyi, Executive Director of Youth Volunteers for the Environment (YVE) Ghana, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has called on the youth to pursue peace in order to sustain their future.  

He said it is also of essence for them to eschew ethnic, religious and political strive, stressing: “The future of the youth largely depends on how we pursue peace and come together within our communities, understanding of peace building and sustainable lifestyles.”  

Mr Takyi made this known when he addressed a number of schools and community leaders at Dansoman in Accra as part of activities to observe this year’s International Peace Day.
