The 'Mustard Seed' of the Gospel and the 'Dot' on the Map of Nigeria
Rev. Fr. FRANCIS A. OBORJI, The Vatican
What escaped President Buhari in that his unfortunate characterization of Igbo nation as a 'dot' on the map of Nigeria, is the Biblical and theological significance of the word 'dot' ... as the 'Mustard Seed', another word for the 'dot', in this context?

Ndigbo, restructuring and open grazing
DIMM U. OKWUKWU

GREAT REVELATION: Why and how Mr Temitope Balogun -T.B. Joshua-died at 57 …HOW HE SENT FOR ME! (1)
MOSHOOD FAYEMIWO, Cameron, Texas, USA
TB Joshua committed a lot of atrocities in that demonic enclave known as SCOAN. I am not speaking ill of the dead and don't let me hear that nonsense from anyone's mouth that why didn't you say all these while the man was alive? I did fulsomely and had to even write a book warning all those innocents but ignorant hordes thronging that demon-infested place to watch out.

Of Dangote NNPC alliance and deregulation
CHRIS EBHOTE, London, UK
State control is the flip side of regional government’s interest of the same coin. The FG lacks capacity given the body language of Buhari, his actions of recruiting preponderance of his own clan’s men into government in complete contempt of the clear provisions of the 1999 constitution.

Nigeria and the Ghost of 30th May Biafra Remembrance Day
Rev. Fr. FRANCIS A. OBORJI, The Vatican

But this was not the case at all. In fact, the UN and other world powers never cared to know about the fate of Biafrans immediately the war ended.
