This is a piece I have written very reluctantly. It took me three full days to decide to write it, as I was between and betwixt on it. Should I, or should I not? If I do, wouldn’t I be exacting vengeance for myself, when the one I serve...

The ravaging spirals of the Corona Virus Disease, aka Covid-19, has assumed an alarming dimension. If history is anything to go by, such pandemics in the past, when transportation technology was not as sophisticated as what we have today, sent millions to the graves. Today that the world has become a...

Between 23 and 25 of August, 2023, members of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) will converge on Abuja for this year’s Annual General Meeting where they will elect new set of leaders to pilot the affairs of the regulatory body for the next two years. Expectedly, a lot...
