Prof. Mondy Gold When floodwaters rise, they do not merely inundate homes; they drown histories, disrupt destinies, and lay bare the structural weaknesses of entire nations. In Nigeria, each wave of flooding is not just a natural event but a searing indictment of institutional failure and sobering evidence of decades of neglected responsibility.

Yet in Nigeria, the crisis keeps returning and so too does the suffering, familiar and relentless. This crisis is not just about water; it is about lives routinely abandoned in the flood’s path.…

By Professor Mondy Gold, CFP, FEBS, FCILG The recent conferral of National Honors on selected individuals while deliberately excluding Chief Harold Jenewari Dappa-Biriye and the iconic Major Isaac Adaka Boro constitutes a brazen act of historical distortion and cultural erasure. This affront not only dishonors the legacy of the Ijaw struggle for justice and equity but further underscores the urgency of self-determination. Viewed through the prism of justice denied, this calculated omission reveals a deeply flawed and myopic governance philosophy steeped in superficial symbolism and devoid of genuine recognition for authentic nation-builders. Senator Seriake Dickson’s courageous denunciation of such hollow…
