Ever since MTN outsmarted Etisalat in what has become the biggest brand war in recent memory, I have read some stories which suggest that an unethical conduct took place in the ‘Saka’ saga. I beg to disagree. The simple fact is that Etisalat people were not only careless but disrespectful of the man who brought appeal to their product. Now they are paying the price.

The Senate Committee on Public Accounts last week revealed how the Federal Government under President Olusegun Obasanjo; his successor, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and current President Goodluck Jonathan grossly abused public funds from some Special Funds Accounts to the tune of over a trillion Naira.

Aside reportorial curiousity, my interest also stemmed from the fact that I served under one of the three presidents who incidentally is no longer in a position to defend himself.

Another Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft has crashed. This time it involved a helicopter that was trying to make an emergency landing in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Thursday. However, the crew escaping unhurt.
This is coming barely three days after the nation witnessed a similar tragic event  when a NAF Alpha Jet combat aircraft crashed near Niamey, Niger Republic while returning from a reconnaissance mission in Mali in support of the AFISMA operations, killing the two pilots on board.
