The Light Up Nigeria Movement


I have tried to ignore The Light Up Nigeria Movement but as this shows, have failed. This post will be edited at a later time to expose the many criticisms I hold against this campaign. Is this another amenity that Nigerians wish for but cannot really afford? (see Fuel prices, premium education, law enforcement etc). However, it must be noted that the movement holds far more advantages than disadvantages; which is why I use this post as a platform for its exposure.

Why Nigerian art will continue to suffer!


If you are anything like me (okay, you're not). But if you are an art enthusiast or even just an admirer, you will more than likely have explored the potential of the artists from your own country. This is because their work will inevitably hit a sentimental soft spot; as you might have been subliminally exposed to some of their themes in your growing years.
In my own exploration, i've come to find that most successful Nigerian artists - although tradtionally influenced - are based and exhibit in Europe or America (as with sports, academia, literature and any other form of expression really).
To this phenomenon, I have recently come across a strong answer to the question "Why so?".

Britain’s dirty little secret


OH YES! I never once thought Trafigura would be the only case to be uncovered on this issue! It's like a Pandoras box really - uncover one and you jst can't stop the rest rearing their ugly heads. The western world should be ashamed of itself!
