In the face of the Big Brother Naija (BBN) phenomenon, it's high time we assessed its impact on our society and decided whether to build walls of protection or windmills of indulgence. THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF BBN BBN has become a showcase for all sorts of negativity, promoting: 1.  Moral decay: Explicit content and behavior that can desensitize viewers to immoral acts. 2. Unhealthy competition: Emphasis on competition and conflict that can foster envy and quarrelsome behavior. 3. Lack of role models: Contestants' actions and attitudes that can shape young minds in a negative way. A CALL FOR ACTION "The future belongs to those who prepare for it today."

GOVR AIYEDATIWA ELIGIBILITY FOR ANOTHER TERM: "legal scholars must resist absolutist interpretations" Shola Elekan PUBLIC BRIEF: CLARIFYING GOVERNOR LUCKY AYEDATIWA'S ELIGIBILITY FOR ANOTHER TERM Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa In recent days, public discourse has intensified around the eligibility of His Excellency, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, to contest for another term as Governor of Ondo State. Some legal commentators have cited Section 182(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended by Act No. 10 of 2018), which provides: "A person who was sworn-in as Governor to complete the term for which another person was elected as Governor shall not be elected to such office for more than a single term." While this provision appears straightforward, it requires deeper constitutional, legal, and contextual analysis. Governor Aiyedatiwa was elected as Deputy Governor in 2020. Upon the death of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in 2023, he constitutionally succeeded to the go...

Nigeria’s Mining Boom: Alake's Giant Strides Evokes Global Attraction to Nigeria's Mining Sector By Josiah Adedayo  It is superfluous working overtime recalling the shock and trepidation that greeted the appointment of Dr. Alake, a media and communication expert and brilliant strategist, as Minister of Solid Mineral Development on August 15, 2023. Naysayers had erroneously opined that Alake would find it difficult to find his feet in the technical field of mining, where geologists and mining engineers hold sway. Indeed, the strategic importance of the mining sector to the country can hardly be over-emphasized. According to official data, Nigeria is said to be endowed with over 40 types of minerals including gold, silica, lead, marble, tin ore, zinc, coal, iron ore, granite, laterite, manganese and limestone. Nigeria sits on mining reserves worth $750billion following a preliminary report on assessment of the mining potentials by a German firm, GeoScan. But the sector remains un...
