“Voices of Change in Nigeria”
Related to country: Nigeria

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Something glorious has happened in Edo state of Nigeria. Something spectacular has dawn on us. What a glorious day? What’s spectacular? It’s because Justice finds its freedom in the hearts of men and women with unyielding bent for the truth.

Today, I say no forces on earth no matter how powerful could dim the light of justice forever. . No matter how daunted the dark clouds maybe, the light of justice finds a way through when the clock of darkness expires. This is because the life of justice is sustained by ordinary men and women emboldened in courage and truth, unguided by the forces of falsehood and greed.

Today, Edo State and its innocent people have found a new utterance. It's very rear in history, when the voice of a people suppressed by the might of evil finds freedom without violence. Good gracious. That new utterance is Mr.Oshiomole, and that freedom is you. And Edo people owe some of you a great deal of gratitude’s to those of you who refuse to bow to the overwhelming lures of slush money.

Mr. Oshiomole's victory is not for one singular party or one singular ethnic enclave, his victory is for those who have waited in baited breath for justice to rain down like mighty stream. Well, I say it's time now for you to exhale. Sing if you have to, dance if you have to, clap your hands if you have to, you are allowed to exhale, because the work ahead is enormous, it would take all of us - both believers and non-believers in justice to overturn the pervasive reign of poverty, diseases, and threat to public safety. Mr.Oshiomole Edo state governor elect, needs you to help fight the creeping creature of greed no matter where its coming from. This is our chance, this is our time, and this is our moment. Change has com, from America to Africa, Europe, Asia, Middle East, etc.

Voices of change, justice for the voice less, “Yes We Can,”

FoI Bill: FG has something to hide – Eddie Iroh
Related to country: Nigeria

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

As Nigerians continue to express their minds over the non-passage of the Freedom of Information Bill, the former Director General of Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Dr, Eddie Iroh, said the only valid excuse for not passing it would be that government has something to hide.

Speaking on the topic, “The Media and Democracy in Nigeria: a Marriage of Inconvenience,” on the occasion of the launch of National Waves Magazine, in Abuja, Eddie Iroh maintained that access to information is, as every true democrat knows, very critical to the expression of informed public opinion.

However, Iroh disagreed with absolute freedom, which he believed could wreck a nation. “I consider absolute freedom as more dangerous that no freedom. It is tantamount to license which is more likely to wreck than build a nation. Therefore our freedom must be disciplined by the imperatives of our national interest and security without which we cannot build the nation.”

Analyzing the relationship between the media and government in the service of democracy, Iroh said both plead national interest in the pursuit of their goals, “and it is national interest that has turned the altar of this marriage into a veritable battleground.”

He further stated that if we are to properly hold government accountable for its actions that touch the lives of the people and if we are to hold a mirror to the wrinkled face of our often ugly society, it will be difficult to avoid friction because in some misguided official quarters the holder of the mirror is often mistaken for the mirror. This mere act of holding that mirror will be seen in those quarters as unpatriotic, especially in this internet age where a global audience sees the mirror.

Iroh warned that the freedom of the press should not begin and end in holding governments to account, that the press should also hold itself to account. He added that our freedom should be a means to the end of achieving a free and developed society. “For too often we have tended to shy away from our own glaring inadequacies. We appear to ignore, or even collude with, the hypocrisy, deception, delusion and denial that bedevil our society.

OBAMA to be seen on Google Earth.
Related to country: United States

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- Barack Obama sometimes gets ribbed for his outsized ideas, like the massive stage built in Denver, Colorado, to accept the Democratic presidential nomination. But an artist in Barcelona, Spain, may be about to outdo the candidate himself.

The artist plans to create a gigantic face of Obama sculpted from gravel and sand, which will cover nearly 2.5 acres (1 hectare) of Barcelona beachfront before the U.S. elections.

"The size of the piece is intrinsic to its value," the artist, Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada, said Saturday.He hopes it will be big enough to be seen on Google Earth.

"Obama's personality -- his youth, personal history and message of a new politics -- has fused with the historical moment to create someone larger than life," says the artist's dossier about the work, titled "Expectation."
