US and South Korea agree THAAD missile defence deployment

The US and South Korea have agreed to deploy a controversial missile defence system, in the wake of intensifying threats from North Korea.
The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system will be deployed solely to counter the threat from Pyongyang, a statement said.
It is unclear exactly where it will be sited and who will have final control.
China, which has consistently opposed the plan, lodged a protest with the US and South Korean envoys.
China's foreign ministry said that the THAAD system will harm peace and stability in the region, despite its ability to detect and shoot down North Korean missiles.
"China expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute objection to this", it said in a statement on its website.

ON THE NEW COLOURS & LOGO FOR CROSS RIVER STATE NIGERIA

Image
Cross River State Logo As part of the celebration of the State’s 50th anniversary, the Governor and his Executive Council have decided to deprive the State of her famed brand identities namely- the colours, motto and logo. A government official told pressmen that the State colours will be changed in the next few days. It is said the colours of red and white will replace the colours of blue and white. The new red and white logo also has a bull in the middle signifying the ‘energy’ behind the activities in the State and the 18 stars encircling the logo represent the 18 local governments of Cross River State. •Analyzing the changes and the reasons for them, one will see that the State Executive Council has no compelling reason to change the State logo. They are simply looking for mundane undertakings just to lay claim to having marked the State’s golden jubilee. How can they change the State logo which is unique in all its ways into that new thing that looks like the ...

Ken Aklah's Framework; A Solution To Nigeria's Divestment Situation And Economic Down-turn

Image
Ken Aklah's opinion to the current divestment situation (a situation where investment index is low) in the Country as the result of the method adopted by this present administration to fight corruption is that, Globally, corruption remains a laid-back-nature of frontier societies mostly at the Southern hemisphere. This goes further to establish that corruption is not a function of genetic peculiarity, but of gross underdevelopment and poverty in material existence because the advanced societies had been in heigthened state of corruption in their formative stage, but became gradually refined, as they made tremendous economic improvements. However, this is not to say that those societies are free of corruption. Hopefully, third world countries shall progress to that stage with time. The methods of tackling corruption are varied and it is quite worrisome that the method adopted by Nigeria, in this present administration has plunged the country into an embarrassing...
