  Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept that encourages companies to go beyond simply making profits—to consider their impact on society and the environment, and to contribute positively to the communities in which they operate. Around the world, CSR has become a cornerstone of ethical business practice, but in Nigeria, it remains largely voluntary. In most cases, when companies in Nigeria engage in CSR, it takes the form of charity or goodwill gestures—building boreholes, sponsoring school competitions, or donating to local festivals. These acts, though valuable, are not rooted in any legal obligation. They are optional, often inconsistent, and left entirely to the discretion of the companies. This leads us to a central question: why is CSR not enforceable by law in Nigeria? A Legal Vacuum The Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), which governs corporate activities in Nigeria, makes no binding provision for CSR. This means there is no requirement for companies to g...

  She is awkward with love talk I dare say she is a spoilsport   Her words are piercing daggers Slashing stabbing at my members The heart doth want what it wants A burning feeling such that haunts A malaise of being in Love Torture that I bid not stop The tragedy is not being loved in turn The beauty of your letters means naught If    tender love is not returned Who to blame, the heart wants what it wants….

Oh life, great and wonderful, vicissitude as ocean tide Kith and kin sworn to fealty may change with passing time Time and chance conjures such absurdities that breaks the heart There goes another part of your heart like a company moribund Tears won't fall but the pain will endure  as  Frodo's wound on weathertop

 My dear melancholy, My fountain from whence pensive and beautiful muse flows Need I embrace you to grasp the fullness of your wonder  Or recluse from you and perceived ambience of gloom Truly it gets dark and cold and a wisp of frost doth truly send shivers down my spine If you stare in the dark for so long it truly stares back at you Once was told I look like it’s about to rain Reflecting has made me value laughter much more May nothing wipe that smile and smirk off of your face It gets sunny on the other side.

 Grow the light beckons on you As the plants elate on its sighting The dark is stifling  It has long endured So the light beckons, grow! At the scent of water be invigorated It is innate though resource dwindling Hang on for dear life it shall pass As the dark will surely usher in a new day Let the light be food for your growth Do you not know of the shade  of your leaves First, the satisfaction of your fruits Then, the pleasure of its ripeness Sweet succour for the ailing traveller Oasis in a growing desert I bid you grow! Quite a journey lies ahead to fulfilling destiny Grow!!!                                                                                   

  You would be forgiven if you had thought the US trade war with China is coming to an end however in a new barrage of attacks, the biggest economy in the world has escalated the confrontation with an emerging global powerhouse. Central to this trend is Huawei. Huawei has enjoyed an astronomical rise to global relevance, being the second largest phone maker by phones shipped (second to samsung) yet, the company's largest business is done in telecoms equipment and accessories. In the next-generation 5G network, Huawei is a key player, offering standard yet more affordable pricing than most rivals in the development of 5G infrastructure around the world, the US is especially suspicious of the use of Huawei gears in the new network since it is more data sensitive and brings the possibility of remote access and control, the Chinese legislation that also mandates Chinese firms to aid the state with their resources is of particular concern to President Trump. The US have thus banned all...
