Dear DK, Thanx my brother, but I must say over to us all . The challenges ahead stare us all in the face, to bring our country's ship home...or at least genuinely strive to. I would also not say I am a 'veteran'. When people who have given their hearts, their souls, their strengths, their minds to the cause of a better society, from their youths still remain unbowed as 'senior citizens', the least we can do, is to keep the torch ablaze. When we fight, we fight not just for ourselves and the future of our children, we fight that the labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain and that our veterans shall have hope that they have not fought in vain. Our veterans are the Eskor Toyos, Hassan Summonus, Edwin Madunagus, Balarabe Musas, Baba Omojolas, Ali Chiromas, Gani Fawehinmis, Ishola Williams, Jonathan Ihondes, Toye Olorodes, Idowu Awopetus, Abayomi Feirreiras, Festus Iyayis...to mention a few, please.

But I would suggest we avoid the approach of the tortoise who had been in deep shit for two months and when being pulled out screamed 'hurry, hurry, this place stinks'.

The discussions of the 56, the earlier, submissions, by the first triumvirate, Chinedum, TA, Eugene, me, and even what you have put together below and any input from any other member of the serve as well, I would propose be taken into consideration by the Working Paper drafting committee as it commences its deliberations over the weekend. Personally, I would agree that the role of the NCNC in the struggle for our independence as a nation can not but be commended. The August 26, 1944 Glover Hall Conference summoned by the first organised generation of Great Nigerian students which gave birth to the NCNC (first then as the National C...

Introduction Brasil is a country steeped in contradictions historically and contemporaneously. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in Latin America, but with the largest population in the region. Undoubtedly the economic giant of Latin America due to the size of its market and level of industrialization, yet it has the fifth highest level of inequality in the region. Being one of the ten largest economies in the world and along with Russia, India and China considered the leading newly industrializing nations in the world, and a middle income country; it is still more often than not categorized as a developing country due to a high prevalence of poverty (Edwards, 2001: 79). Having been the site of the first of military putsches that would lead to an era of Bureaucratic Authoritarian States in Latin America , Brasil today has a model constitution and is the only country in the region with a trade union’s Workers Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores) at the helm of the state. The worke...
