Is Nigeria In Trouble? Listen to article
The title of this piece is a poser triggered by a blunt remark by Mr. Godwin Obaseki, the formidable political arch-rival of a former Edo State Governor and immediate past Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.
Obaseki, the incumbent Governor of Edo State, was, at an event, reported as blurting: We are in trouble!
Why are we in trouble? Obaseki adduced a reason that it is because the country is enmeshed deeply in a financial quagmire. According to him, Nigeria s oil marketers should not celebrate the increase in the price of crude oil, especially in the international market, for the expected benefits could be illusional. He noted that major oil companies in Nigeria such as Shell and Chevron are no longer investing in oil exploration.

Members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) stormed the Federal High Court Lagos shortly before 9 a.m today to enforce their indefinite nationwide strike.
Members of staff of the court who had arrived at their offices, some as early as 7 am were directed to pack up and leave the court premises.
The union members then went round to ensure that everyone had been evicted after which they sealed some of the offices and pasted notices indicating the commencement of strike action.
By a circular dated April 1, the national leadership of JUSUN had ordered the closure of courts across the country as from today, until the government complies with the provisions of the constitution, court judgments, and other instruments which confer or re-emphasise the financial autonomy of the Judiciary.
