Sabotaged and Scattered, the Opposition wobbles, by Ugoji Egbujo

•Is Jonathan also trying to scatter them, too?  Three weeks from critical deadlines, the opposition parties are in utter disarray. If this democracy fails, those who scattered the opposition must take responsibility. INEC failed to register parties in time. The government sowed moles and discord. Opposition leaders manifested greed , cowardice and ego. Another election is around the […]

Who is After Obi, Kwankwaso Again? By Azu Ishiekwene

The former Labour Party presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi, thinks he is Nigeria’s most misunderstood politician. Why is it hard for us to see that his serial party flipping is not a sign of desperation but a tactic of survival for our own good? Why, even though he has flipped political parties five times in three election […]

Attacks: Many South Africans have always been hostile, by Adekunle Adekoya

I first came into contact with South Africa remotely, through a book, Cry, the Beloved Country, written by Alan Patton ( 11 January 1903 – 12 April 1988). It was a novel given to me to read by my father, in 1974. It was the first introduction to my growing mind on what life was like in […]

Africans shouldn’t join our xenophobic South African brothers in lunacy, by Owei Lakemfa

South Africa  united  Africa and the Black Race more than any other as we fought Apartheid, one of the most evil systems humans  ever created.  Apartheid was backed by some of the most powerful countries in the world such as the United States, United Kingdom and Israel which  also practices an   Apartheid variant  called Zionism.  But, […]

Why Atiku Abubakar will never be president (2), by Ochereome Nnanna

Most people say that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has vied for president of Nigeria six times over 30 years (1993 – 2023). For me, it’s seven times. In 2003 when he was President Olusegun Obasanjo’s deputy, his failed “Mandela Option”, aimed at limiting Obasanjo to one term, was meant to clear the way for him […]

Nigeria’s festivals turned to funerals since 2015, by Dele Sobowale

“But, fortune’s honey turned to gall…thus Fortune, with a slight turn of her will brings men [and nations] from joy to sorrow”. Geoffrey Chaucer, 1342-1400, VBQ, VBQ p 64.

Teacher donates salary to Kano governor! By Tonnie Iredia

In many developing societies where deficiencies in infrastructural facilities increase by the day, it is difficult to bridge the gap between the government and the people. Although many theorists are now around to preach terminologies such as the use of strategic communication in public enlightenment, citizens are unable to see any improvement in their living […]

His grace is sufficient, by Funmi Komolafe

Beloved, we thank God that has kept us alive to witness the fifth month of the year.  Glory be to God. Some clerics refer to the month of May as the month of Grace.   Could it be because the word Grace is a five-letter word? I don’t have the answer but the   Grace of God is […]

Nigeria cannot grow in darkness, by Stephanie Shaakaa

No nation has ever powered its way into greatness by learning to live with darkness. Electricity is not one of those crises a country can postpone and survive indefinitely. It sits at the foundation of every modern economy, quietly determining whether a nation expands or stagnates, whether ambition translates into production or remains only aspiration. That is […]
