Values, norms & underdevelopment
Dickson Igwe
True social and economic prosperity lies in the values and morals of a society, not in its financial and natural resources. Governments that believe that their countries’ histories, cultures, traditions, values, ethics, and norms, do not impact national prosperity, are simply delusional.
Leisure, life & death
Dickson Igwe
This Old Boy has been thinking deeply of recent. He has been grappling with the meaning of this thing called life. What is the point of it all? We are here today and gone tomorrow.

Brexit & the Woman of Steel!
By Dickson Igwe
Now, the real tragedy of Brexit, in this Old Boy’s opinion, is that it diminishes all UK citizens, subjects, and nationals – and that includes Overseas Territory Citizens of Britain, such as Virgin Islanders.

The 21st Century started with the Age of Austerity and globalisation, then came the Great Financial Recession, followed by the Great Revolution, and now the world may be waking up to a Great Global Disorder. History is going back to where it began.
Britain’s very politically incorrect BREXIT
By Dickson Igwe
US President Barrack H. Obama has had a very bad couple of days. His politically correct agenda has been thrown off course. His dreams of a globalised world order run from Davos, is going up in smoke. He has been reminded that working class white voters especially are “pissed off” with his lax migration policies and his blaming hard working Americans for the Islamic Terror threatening his country. His idea that it is guns and not the hatred of radical Jihadists that is killing US innocents
Terror & politically correct Insanity

Make no mistake. Donald Trump is right about one thing. Barack H. Obama and Hillary R. Clinton, add a motley mix of European leaders, have made this world a much more dangerous place.
Trump versus Clinton: Let the duel commence
By Dickson Igwe
The political slugfest between Donald J Trump and Hillary D. R. Clinton is an epic drama. It will be the nastiest US election in “living memory.” It is a fight between multiple variables in politics, economics and foreign affairs.
