Pantami: Between Honour and Responsibility
''Religious extremism is one of the main causes of most of the insecurity and violence that we see worldwide today; and an administration that condones, excuses and harbours a religious bigot like Mr Pantami within its ranks, not only
opens itself up for its purpose,credibility and integrity to be questioned and scrutinized, but for external observers to wonder whether indeed,Government is not partly responsible for the violence that Nigeria is presently experiencing.We don’t need that. Is Mr Pantami the only
capable Computer Scientist in Nigeria? Even if he is cleverer than Einstein, in a decent society he would not be eligible to hold public office. Should an extremist occupy such a sensitive position, and have the data of all Nigerians on his fingertips? I ask again, why would
Twitter want to locate its offices in Nigeria? Why would any FDI be attracted to Nigeria? Does Government not see that apart from the Chinese, most other foreign investors are divesting and leaving?''

By Emma Nwaneri
Over the weekend, respected columnist & ex-Editorial Board chairman of Guardian newspaper, Sonala Olumhense *confirmed a story that was making the rounds in Washington DC newsrooms all of last week. It was that the US
