In no time, these made America’s growing generation become smarter than the previous and yes, we have seen them leading in many tech related sectors. Many people have wanted me to talk about the current BIG BROTHER NIGERIA show currently ...

The expectation of Akwa Ibom people on the Udom Emmanuel led administration was generally that of wealth creation and proliferation of (both small and large scale) industries. We all just wanted to transit from highest ‘oil producing state’ to some other lofty title in the Economics of Nigeria. It has taken persistence and concentration, but through AKEES (Akwa Ibom Enterprise and Employment Scheme), Governor Udom has been able to whip up activity, specifically in production and Agriculture.  Some other day, we will discuss the tonnes of Tomatoes being harvested monthly from various farms in the State, the tremendous success of the Akwa Prime Poultry scheme and the trainings upon trainings on different relevant skills going on daily by AKEES. For today, I just want to revel in the pride of Akwa Ibom producing Pencils and Toothpicks in a time when Nigeria has been reeling under the woeful impact of overdependence on imports. In 2007, President Obasanjo fumed ov...
