Nigeria [opinion]: Memo to Commonwealth Leaders (Dec 07 2003 23:11 GMT) - Your Excellencies, I join millions of my countrymen and women in welcoming you whole-heartedly to Nigeria. I believe that your meeting here or in any of your member countries has two broad based purposes, viz: to advance the common interest of your peoples and at the same time feel their pulse, aspirations and worries. |

Nigeria [opinion]: The Police And Human Right Violations (Dec 07 2003 23:11 GMT) - What is good for the goose is also good for the gander is a universal maxim which Nigerians often quote profusely in their quest for equity and social justice. But police's discriminatory reactions to two politically motivated rallies that took place in Lagos during the week would tend to suggest that his age-long maxim is no longer considered valid in this clime by President Olusegun Obasanjo's government which is increasingly attracting scorn and jeers from Nigerians for its obvious anti-people policies and dictatorial tendencies. |

Nigeria [analysis]: Chogm: Another Jamboree? (Dec 07 2003 23:11 GMT) - The timing, relevance as well as how much taxpayers' money the federal government has sunk into the 53 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) to has further incensed the already-tense atmosphere in the polity. Eminent Nigerians, including diplomats, civil society organisations, the intelligentsia and dozens of other political pressure groups have continued to express vociferous misgivings over the hosting of CHOGM, at a time the nation's financial balance was already vigorously shaken by government's spending on COJA Games. The two events, according to President Obasanjo, have so far gulped a whopping N43 billion. |

Rocket Rolls Out in Downtown D.C. (Dec 07 2003 23:09 GMT) - "If there was ever a sign that enterprising rocketeer Elon Musk intends to shake up the commercial space launch industry, it was the sight of a 70-foot long booster slowly moving along Independence Avenue in the heart of the nation's capitol. Toted aboard an open-bed trailer, the rocket came to a stop steps away from the National Air & Space Museum, homage to the relics of a space-age past and a harbinger of an alternative future. Musk is peddling rocket launch services for a fraction of the going rate. 'It's time that we did something about launch costs,' said Musk, who is selling rocket rides for small payloads for a flat million fee." Musk has sold two Internet startups he began for big bucks - including PayPal. |
