By John Edema Okotie-Eboh Nigeria’s economic foundation did not emerge by accident. It was built by visionary leaders who understood that political independence without financial sovereignty would remain incomplete. Among those architects stands Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh — a statesman whose contributions to Nigeria’s financial infrastructure remain profound, yet insufficiently recognised. As Federal Minister of Finance in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Okotie-Eboh played a pivotal role in reshaping Nigeria’s monetary identity. In 1958, he spearheaded the transition from the colonial West African currency system, jointly operated by British West African colonies, to a distinct national currency and coinage bearing the…

Beloved, we mentioned the efficacy of the grace of God in our last edition. Today, we’ll consider strangers in our lives and how to overcome them. First, we want to attempt to define what can be referred to as a stranger in one’s life. Here we aren’t talking about visitors or strangers that visit and leave. These are strangers in the physical sense but we are discussing strangers in the spiritual sense and the physical sense but not in human form. An infection to a doctor is a stranger in the body of the patient. Such a stranger has made the…

By Ayoola Olasupo Ageing, in simple terms, is a progressive, time-dependent, and universal process of physical and mental decline in living organisms, including human beings. It typically leads to increased vulnerability to disease, reduced functional capacity, and eventual death. It involves the accumulation of molecular and cellular damage, known as senescence, as well as a decline in biological functions and the body’s ability to adapt to metabolic stress. According to Britannica, ageing takes place in the cells or organs of living organisms over time. It explains that the process occurs throughout the entire adult lifespan of every living thing. Every…

In this piece, I will be taking the wisdom of Pericles and Aristotle seriously; one was one of the founding statesmen of Athenian democracy, and the other one of Greece’s greatest philosophers. Both participated in the crafting of the general principles of political life and understanding that Greece gave to the rest of the world.

This is especially in the age of the internet and social media, and the short attention…
