Peter Obi and Bayo Onanuga’s red herring, by Ikechukwu Amaechi

I was saddened watching Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, discuss the state of the nation on Arise Television on Tuesday. To be fair, though, he is the president’s spokesperson and his job entails defending the indefensible. But beyond that, he has the reputation of insensitivity to the plight […]

Emotional mastery: When confidence lives in your body, by Ruth Oji

Your body is communicating right now. Before you say a single word, your shoulders, your hands, your posture, and your breathing are already sending a message to everyone watching you. The question is: what message are you sending? Nervous body language undermines everything you say. It doesn’t matter how brilliant your ideas are or how thoroughly […]

Anarchism in judicial robes, by Owei Lakemfa

Justice  Peter Odo Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja was far less known until June 15, 2026 when an ill-considered judgement he delivered led to political eruption in the country.    It was capable of derailing the political process and, several persons and organisations including the judiciary, scrambled to douse the fires its was beginning to ignite. Not since […]

National Assembly’s dirty papers, by Emmanuel Aziken

For an institution that makes laws for more than 200 million Nigerians, this is dangerous. A legislature that cannot convincingly account for its own documents cannot credibly demand accountability from ministries, departments, agencies or ordinary citizens. The latest controversy came from the Senate over the report that led to the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. Senator Adams […]

Ogunsanya’s Powerful Judgement, by Emeka Obasi

You cannot be more Nigerian than someone from the South – West who found love across the Niger, served in Benin Kingdom and remains attached to Lagos, where nothing escapes scrutiny. Akin Victor Ogunsanya represents courage, determination and fair play. Chatting with him is a journey into almost everything. From politics to nationalism, you  will delve into […]

How much time do we really have left? It’s a question that hangs in the air, by Muyiwa Adetiba

There was this story of a political activist who was considered an enemy of State and sentenced to death. His last act when given the chance, was to hug his mother. This got people curious. Why not his wife, a child, or any of his comrades-in- arms? The message here however, is not that he chose his […]

Please Tinubu, why can’t we all own Rifles? By Ugoji Egbujo

•A three-pronged strategy for your consideration! Poor Nigerians. These days, ordinary people are one wrong journey away from a brutal death. General Rabe is now dead. Who knows what his family went through to recover his remains? May his soul rest in peace. The lessons from Rabe’s killing are for the living. When he served as military […]

They’re coming to America, by Azu Ishiekwene

Journalists like to think that the world would be finished without them. Nothing illustrates this vanity more than the joke by my old school journalism teacher that even when the world ends, reporters will be there to tell those in paradise what is happening on the other side. This illusion deprives the profession of its sanity. […]

Naija negativity, by Donu Kogbara

Fatalism is the belief that all events are predetermined and therefore inevitable. Fatalists assume that mere mortals are powerless to influence the future and that all events are decided by fate and outside human control. This type of thinking is common amongst religious people – and most Nigerians are religious or at least superstitious; and I […]

Self-help on insecurity, the Ohuhu, Abia way as solution, by Adekunle Adekoya

LAST week, I asked fellow Nigerians, readers of this column what else we can do about insecurity that we haven’t done. It was a rhetorical question. Truth is there’re lots we can do that we haven’t done. Are we no longer Nigerians? The most resilient group of peoples in the world? Are we not the ones that […]
