The ‘supremely courageous and inspiring’ actions of a soldier killed in action in Afghanistan have been recognised with the highest award for valour, Vigilance can report.

Lance Corporal James Ashworth, 23 from Corby, Northamptonshire was killed as he stormed an insurgent position in the Nahr-e-Saraj district of Helmand in June 2012. His conduct in putting himself in the line of fire to protect his colleagues has been rewarded with the Victoria Cross (VC), the first award of the honour since 2006.

Rolling Meadows: Big data can save big money. A recent McKinsey report found that value gained from data in the US health care sector alone could be more than US $300 billion every year. But traditional tools aren’t enough to manage these extremely large amounts of fast-changing information.

Kaduna Nzeogwu…thunder can break again!

Whilst President Obama is into strategic and futuristic thinking, repositioning the US economy, the now Fundraiser-in-Chief of Nigeria is using State resources and privileges to help his native Otuoke to the utter disregard of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, putting other communities in Nigeria at a disadvantage…nepotism, favouritism and tribalism were three of the five core reasons Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu adduced in 1966 as the motive for the first military coup in Nigeria. Here’s a man without a sense of history showing complete naivety and gross lack of statesmanship and vision in governance coupled with his lack of understanding of the complexity of the Nigerian polity. The story of a misfit without a mustard seed - knowledge of his country’s Constitution, nay, a man who does not know he has been standing on a sinking sand since coming into office
