 *1. Identify your Ward:* The ward is the smallest unit of Government in Politics. The Political Head of a Ward is called Councilor. Every politician must compulsorily be a card-carrying member of a political party at the ward level. This however is with the exception of those who choose to contest election as or support independent candidates. Your ward is not necessarily your home town but the locality where you will most conveniently carry out your political activities. It is also advisable that you also register with INEC as a voter in this ward.   *2. Make the Choice of Political Party:*  Consider the available political parties in your area and make a choice. I advise you study the manifesto and constitution of the party you want to join and agree that you align with her. Unfortunately, in Nigeria's nascent democracy, ideology is not well defined in the existing political parties, therefore, they almost share basic ideologies.  *3. Get involved in Ward act...

  CEOs and other executives say they’ve seen enough to judge whether remote working is working. But the verdict depends on who you ask. Here’s what some leaders are saying about working from home and the value of an office: “I don’t see any positive elements. Not being able to meet in person, especially at the international level, is a downside. “ –Reed Hastings, co-CEO of Netflix Inc., on working from home “I don’t think BlackRock will come back 100% to power. I actually believe maybe 60 or 70%, and maybe it’s a rotation of people, but I don’t believe we’ll ever have a full-frame of people [the] Bureau. » —Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock Inc., speaking at a virtual conference on September 17 “We tried it… It’s just not the same. You just can’t get the same quality of work. “ –Rajat Bhageria, CEO of robotics startup Chef Robotics, on what the company has learned from trying to work remotely

  The continent behaved as one indivisible unit in fighting the virus, with leaders working together to impose lockdowns, enforce mask requirements and work with continental officials to improve testing and treatment. As COVID-19 infections soar in the United States, the African continent is bracing for a smaller surge, defying predictions that it would be hardest hit. According to Africa’s top medical official, that’s because the continent behaved as one indivisible unit in fighting the virus, with leaders working together to impose lockdowns, enforce mask requirements and work with continental officials to improve testing and treatment. “The key, unifying leadership of the continent very early on in February has been a very critical factor in moderating the spread of the virus on the continent,” Dr. John Nkengasong, director of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said to a collection of global health experts during a virtual meeting this week. “As a matter of f...

A new vaccine that protects against Covid-19 is nearly 95% effective, early data from US company Moderna shows. The results come hot on the heels of similar results from Pfizer, and add to growing confidence that vaccines can help end the pandemic. Both companies used a highly innovative and experimental approach to designing their vaccines. Moderna says it is a "great day" and they plan to apply for approval to use the vaccine in the next few weeks. However, this is still early data and key questions remain unanswered. How good is it? The trial involved 30,000 people in the US with half being given two doses of the vaccine, four weeks apart. The rest had dummy injections. The analysis was based on the first 95 to develop Covid-19 symptoms. Only five of the Covid cases were in people given the vaccine, 90 were in those given the dummy treatment. The company says the vaccine is protecting 94.5% of people. The data also shows there were 11 cases of severe Covid in the trial, bu...

  By, Hwyere, Dung John INTRODUCTION: Agreed that being a criminal or hoodlum is criminal. But the question here is; *How did we get here?* For long, the government has refused to give proper education and abandoned its most important role of protecting lives, properties and education of its citizens. *Who is a hoodlum?* A hoodlum is that person who has had to drop out of school because of the economic conditions of his parents. While our conditions might be different, the buck lies on the table of the government. EXAMPLE OF OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES *Rwanda* for instance came out of a civil war with so many *hoodlums* afterwards. But proper government integration and inclusion in governance of everyone has made Rwanda have the highest number of women in a Parliament in Africa. Today, Rwanda is the hub of African Tourism and ICT. *ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN COUNTERING SECURITY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE HYGIENE: THE ISSUES* There wouldn't be a hoodlum if government didn't abdicate it's r...

  MADISON, Wisconsin —   P resident Trump’s reelection campaign is filing a lawsuit in federal court in an attempt to keep Michigan from certifying its results until the voting process can be reviewed. The lawsuit is set to be filed Tuesday evening, exactly one week from the election, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. The lawsuit alleges several instances of electoral malpractice and includes sworn affidavits, said Matt Morgan, general counsel for Trump's reelection campaign, during a press call. Trump’s team filed a lawauit in Michigan court the day after the election, alleging that a plaintiff who was “credentialed and trained as an election challenger” was “excluded from the counting board during the absent voter ballot review process.” A Michigan judge rules against that lawsut  on Thursday. The new federal lawsuit claims that many Republican poll watchers in Wayne County, where Detroit is located, were excluded from the a...

  Nigeria’s youth are now politically woke. With their numbers, they can put to transformative use their new-found voice from #EndSARS. The collective trauma we all felt from the shootings at Lekki toll gate must be reprogrammed for a political outcome in our country that heals that trauma for good. The youth of a nation are the trustees of posterity.” – Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 1874-1880 “Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.” – Herbert Hoover, 31st President of the United States The recent peaceful protests by thousands of young Nigerians demanding an end to police brutality by the infamous Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigerian Police Force is undoubtedly the most consequential political uprising since Nigeria returned to civilian democratic rule in 1999. While there are those skeptical about how much the youth can affect Nigeria’s reigning order of politics and governance, I believe such skeptics are wrong. T...
