Poverty is a universal phenomenon that cut across both developed and underdeveloped countries. In Nigeria poverty is deep, widespread and multidimensional, and Nigerians are all victims of this condition in one way or the other even though the degree differs. However, available statistics reveals that poverty is more pronounced among the rural dwellers that form 70% of the country's population. Efforts by successive government to eradicate poverty especially in the rural areas since independence have not yielded any desirable result in spite of huge amount of resources committed to it.

Re: Tories win case over election expenditures (Jan. 19). The Federal Court ruling dodged the issue of the legality of the Conservatives' 2006 federal election ad spending scheme, as the ruling went in favour of the election candidates only because the basis of the "balance of convenience" principle means that they should be reimbursed for their full expenses now because the legality of the scheme is yet to be determined. Re: Ignatieff proves impossible to pin down (Jan. 18). Perhaps the reason that Michael Ignatieff has emphasized a dedicated transfer to the provinces for post-secondary education (PSE) is that this sensible idea has been advocated by student and faculty organizations for some time, and even by the administrators of Canada's universities and colleges.
