Except if the schools didn’t “cover their academic syllabus” due to COVID-19 lockdown, I don’t think students should not write their WAEC final SSSC exams.

We have lost a nation to “pen rubbers” occupying our public offices. David Cameron, ex-Prime Minister of the UK, rightly said, “If the amount of money stolen in Nigeria was stolen in the UK, the country would cease to exist.” We have by default established a safe haven for criminals who wouldn’t see anything wrong in selling Nigeria for some… Read More

It is because of the corrosive and corruptive influence of power that Baron Dr Montesqui warned people and nations everywhere to beware. Mobutu Seseseko Ngbendu Wa Ba Zanga, the dictator… Read More
