Nigerians scramble to get a bag of rice from wife of President Goodluck

Nigerians scramble to sell their votes for goods from politicians, this time a bag of rice! And from wife of President Goodluck
Nigerians scrambling for free bags of rice, being dished out by the wife of the President, One bag One vote! This is insane..Many would say we can't blame these people for selling their votes.

The Exploitation of Nigerians by the Nigerian embassy in Venezuela!: A shocking tale!

I would like to use this medium, elombah.com to inform the world of an ongoing issue with Nigerians in Ecuador, Venezuela and Colombia and their ripping off by the Nigerian embassy in Venezuela. Firstly, I had been having problems with passport renewal as well as other Nigerians in most of South America. To cut the story short, I contacted the embassy in Venezuela a couple of weeks ago and they finally decided to renew the same old MRP passport since the e-passport wasn't available in this region. 

What If IBB and co win(s) the 2011 elections?

For a while there have been loads of buzzes about IBB and co (Atiku etc) return to the political scene, many have gone over the roof saying we don't want him, we don't need him and all that. People have gone as far as creating groups on Facebook, twitting and all that to form a campaign against his return. This is and are all good steps to showing our displeasure with his evil regime while in office. But I have always looked at this from a very different perspective.

Nigeria: Build the Struggle for Grass Roots Democracy and Independence in the Social Movements!

We Nigerians have to wake up from our collective slumber and realise that our present, which is a failure, is a result of our “sidon-look” attitude in the past and our future would be the same if we fail to act today, now!

The World Owes Us Nothing!

Permit my exercise in tautology to state for the umpteenth time and as we all know that Africa has been mostly stagnant if not receding and also has been plagued over the years with political and socio-economic mishaps; poor governance, poverty, illiteracy, underdeveloped and undeveloped in some areas and volatility in many areas. Over the years many scholars have deduced that our

It is very vital to look at the role that we Africans play in our own liberation, and the role of the “liberal” Western imperialisms in thwarting them.

An Open Letter to Acting President Goodluck Jonathan.

I, Akinyemi Adeseye, a Nigerian national currently residing in Ecuador would like to use this medium to bring to your notice the unfair and nonchalant treatment that has been meted to Nigerians living in this region by sections of our ministry of foreign affairs and the national immigration service regarding the new e-passport renewal.
