Why do you want to control?

Why do you want assurances that your effort today will be blessed with large take up tomorrow?

Is it not enough to believe, and then, act?

If, as you suggest (and I'm inclined to agree with you), we don't have research workers in these fields, then my original question as to what they are doing is moot.

As to sensitising our people to how we are linked to our environment, that's a long-term, thankless task.

In response to global warming, The Economist reports that "Chinese researchers mapped where tea plants can thrive today, and where they will be able to in the 2050s and in the 2090s".

What are Nigerian researchers doing about our staples?

Americans ought to see that the only way the Republican's current weaponisation of the state against opposing views makes sense is through a descent to totalitarian rule.

Otherwise, any change of government will have them at the receiving end of their prescriptions.

Does Herbert Macaulay's pardon mean that we once had a felon on the one naira note (1979-91 and the coin thereafter)?

Or are we suggesting that the colonial administration's indictment of this "foremost nationalist" was a case of lawfare?

The game of musical chairs at the top of Peru's politics long since turned burlesque.

7 presidents in 10 years.

Dina Boluarte has barely been impeached for going AWOL to get a nose job (there were those Rolex watches too), and her replacement totters on rape charges.

The arguments (in Nigeria) for a constitutional role for monarchs is neither commentary on the usefulness of our existing institutions (sub-par), nor on that of our monarchs (harmful).

As William of Ockham put it, "Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity".

Given that Likuena are a bit lame, The Super Eagles are making heavy weather of this game.
