No governance without consultation: Demilitarizing and demythologizing the Nigerian Government

Image
  By Owei Lakemfa I did not expect my column ‘When uneducated minds change the education system’ to attract so much reaction. A parent said that in my review of the new education curriculum imposed in September 2025, I did not draw sufficient attention to some facts.

She complained that these subjects were imposed with immediate effect without teachers trained to teach them.

The United States will control the Strait of Hormuz, we’ll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation… And if Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we will obliterate them.” There is Israel, which believes the proposed peace deal is a sellout by its American allies and threatens to continue occupying parts of Lebanon even if the peace deal is signed. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bellowed: “Israel is not opposed to a diplomatic outcome… [b...
