Declining opportunities, rising insecurity and a bleak economic outlook have created an environment polluted by anger. This anger has bred a growing rank of political fundamentalists and fanatics. There is palpable anger on Nigeria social media platforms whenever politics is at issue and what is at issue these days, if not the 2023 elections? In […]
Continue ReadingAs part of the fundamental objectives of the neocolonial State, the participation of the people in their government is guaranteed in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and the Electoral Act. The implication is that elected officials are mandatorily required to have their mandate renewed periodically through fair and free elections. Nigeria is said […]
Continue ReadingThe vagina ought to be wet naturally especially in young girls who have reached puberty and also women of child-bearing age. Nearly half of all the mails and messages received on our various communication outlets on this page are centered on issues of vaginal discharge involving several different colours and wetness. There are some extreme […]
Continue ReadingFor a country that has been going through its worse economic and security phase since independence under the rule of Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), Nigeria had a big reason to smile two weeks ago when Tobi Amusan broke the 100m hurdles world record twice at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon, United States. Nigerians […]
Continue ReadingThe President of any country is the number one citizen of that nation, all things being equal. He is first amongst equals, being the one that all other citizens look up to for leadership and direction. The President is the first ambassador of the nation and so the rest of the world views the country […]
Continue ReadingPeter Obi comes across as a humble, conciliatory, mild-mannered, and good-natured person—in contrast to his toxic, obnoxious online devotees whose rhetorical causticity he habitually has a need to restrain with words of caution. I honestly have a hard time understanding the untempered hate often directed at him by his critics. You may disagree with his […]
Continue Reading“I did not mention it to you. The lady that was among the trio recently freed from the Kaduna train hostage attack is my sister-in-law. She was released after payment of (a huge) ransom… She spent about 80 days with the demons. Look at her picture again; you will see something very dead in her […]
Continue ReadingAs the Boeing 747 airliner descended at the J.F. Kennedy International Airport, spread-eagled, its massive tyres forked out, grinding the New York tarmac on the dot of 4pm. This was when Abba Kiyari roused from his deep slumber since the Delta plane embarked on the 13-hour flight from Lagos, Nigeria. All his life, he had […]
Continue ReadingTo understand the profligacy, indiscretion and misplaced priority in the purchase of N1.14 billion ($2.7 million) worth of 10 luxury vehicles by the Muhammadu Buhari government for neighbouring Niger Republic, ostensibly to shore up that country’s security, at a time when there is excruciating hunger in the land and terrorists are probably a mile away […]
Continue ReadingIt’s not often I agree with Nigeria’s Minister of Finance Zainab Ahmed. Not because of anything but because I fundamentally disagree with what I consider her fiscal mismanagement of Nigeria. But at least she recently gave an honest assessment of how broke-assed Nigeria is now. As for my dear beloved Central Bank of Nigeria and […]
Continue ReadingNext month, campaigns for the 2023 elections will kick off officially. I used the word “officially” advisedly: campaign has practically taken off on TV and Twitter. Many presidential candidates are already marketing themselves. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his All Progressives Congress (APC) opponent, even […]
Continue ReadingIf there is any behaviour that triggers palpable indignation in me, it is the dismissal and trivialisation of requisite urgent constitutional reforms in Nigeria. And this was precisely the behavior exhibited by former Borno state governor (and now the running mate to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the presidential ticket of the All Progressive Congress, […]
Continue ReadingThe condition of insecurity affecting many Nigerians has long surpassed bearable proportions; it is only a matter of time before even our inept president is viscerally touched. Several reports indicate that members of the Nigerian political class also get a bitter taste of the medicine Nigerians have been made to swallow but the peak of […]
Continue ReadingOnce in a while providence provides us the privilege of convergence when the Christian season of reconciliation and the the Ramadan overlap. This year it comes as the country write. On April 6, 2022, a former President of Burkina Faso, Mr. Blaise Compaore, was convicted and sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment for complicity in […]
Continue ReadingI told you that I have cut a long story short, right? One of the things that I didn’t point out is the HARD life of an average single mother. There are different days in the life of a single mother but they are unlike your normal days of the week. There are days of […]
Continue ReadingI stumbled on a story in the Nigerian media which says that the National Assembly is planning to consider no fewer than 63 bills for the creation of new universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and monotechnics, and I wondered whether madness has finally descended on Nigeria’s education sector. Nigeria at the moment has about 49 […]
Continue ReadingWhen singer and songwriter, Bukola Elemide, known as Asa, sang the “Fire On the Mountain” song at the unveiling of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited in Abuja some days back, she probably didn’t know the extent of the woe that was about to betide the entire nation in a matter of days. Within one […]
Continue ReadingThis past week, education came to a halt in Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT). It began with the order by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, on July 25, closing down all six Federal Government Colleges (better known as Unity Schools) in the FCT, while the students were in the middle of their end of year examinations. […]
Continue ReadingNow that the wise, prudent, babes and suckling ones have come to the grueling realisation that Nigeria is gradually coming to a deadly state of affairs under President Muhammadu Buhari, it is nice seeing everyone scampering about frenziedly. Legislators in Abuja, like vipers stirred off their places of comfort, are spitting venom. The political elite, […]
Continue ReadingOn Sunday, June 4, Nigeria was shaken by the news of a horrendous attack on a Christian Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, South-West Nigeria, in which over thirty people – men, women, and children – were killed, and hundreds critically injured. Barely two months earlier, a violent attack on an Abuja-Kaduna train left several passengers killed, and […]
