School Child on the road to the school doing assignment
Comment: Early childhood education could be traumatic in cities around the world. What do you think? The challenge of modern living especially in megacities around the world is that parents hardly have time to give support to their children's homework. This is a singular factor in dwindling quality of education and standard across most cities in developing countries where schools have little to offer for children education needs.

''Skills acquisition has made us better prisoners''
In Nigeria, prisons are congested and prisoners that manage to come out alive end being hardened criminals and complete misfit. Prisoners well trained while serving their terms will come out to contribute to the society. This development is welcome.

''Patients groan as doctors' strike persist'' Geneva convention is hardly respected in this part of the world
Comment: Although governemnt in Nigeria could be very difficult about salaries and allowances of their workers but the doctors too should look at the fact that they are the most favoured of all professionals in the health sector. A young doctor(sometimes less than 25 years of age)on graduation move to salary grade level 12 while others will have to start from grade level 8. The health sector is yet not better. It takes up to 15 or more years for those on grade 8 to get to 12. Doctors ought to consider this rather than go on strike at the risk of patients they are supposed to serve.
''Freed Peacekeepers threaten to sue Army''
Comment: Unfortunately, 27 UN peacekeepers (Nigeria Contingent)were sentenced to life imprisonment because they demanded that their allowances be paid to them. Since 2009 they have been languishing in jail until Dec 2010 when they were granted full pardon. They are still being owed some allowances. Service to father land instead of being appreciated is rather being discouraged. Nigeria we hail thee.

''Nigeria ranked 65th globallyfor malicious Internet activities''
Comment: I was embarrassed when a white guy turns the screen of his phone down each time I look at his direction before our plane took off from Joburg to Lagos. In the eyes of the outside world every Nigerian is mischievious. Far from it but how could the guy know. I do not blame him. Our leaders in Nigeria encourage this when they are sometimes caught as accomplices, drug peddlers, embezzler of public funds.

Corruption in the Judiciary in Nigeria: What hope is left for the massess?
The story here tells it all. If the judiciary is corrupt to the extent that a judge was convicted by his colleagues of corruption where will the poor masses who do not have the resources to fight injustices find justice? The court they say is the last hope of common man.
