Hurricane Katrina: A Year Later

August 29th, 2006  |  by Imnakoya  |  published in Entries on Old Grandiose Palor (Blogger)

A submerged New Orleans, following Hurricane Katrina.
It was an emotional experience like no other, a year ago when the levees in New Orleans failed, and the United States gulf coast started getting submerged the moment Hurricane Katrina made landfall. Though I was far removed from the mystery, anguish and destruction, just like many others; I […]

Nigeria: A Repressed Economy?

August 23rd, 2006  |  by Imnakoya  |  published in Entries on Old Grandiose Palor (Blogger)

“Wealth comes from the actions of people, not the actions of government, and the freer people are to direct their efforts to where they are most productive, the greater the wealth created.” - Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal.

The Need to Restore Nigeria

August 22nd, 2006  |  by Imnakoya  |  published in Entries on Old Grandiose Palor (Blogger)

Now that is somewhat confirmed that Mike Adenuga, the embattled Nigerian C.E.O of multibillion-dollar ventures (telecoms, banking and oil & gas) has left the country following investigation by the the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission - a move that strongly suggest Mr Adenuga may be culpable of some wrong doing.
The EFCC’s investigation and the subsequent […]

Who’s Going to Get Nigeria Out of its Security Jam?

August 18th, 2006  |  by Imnakoya  |  published in Entries on Old Grandiose Palor (Blogger)

The greatest threat facing Nigeria today is the insecurity of life and property. Sometime in May 2005, the United States National Intelligence Council made a prediction - based on some assumptions, and anchored on past and current national events - the Nigerian state may fail within the next 15 years (around year 2025). My opinion […]
