June 12: Nigeria’s annual ritual of glorifying a sham ‘democracy’, by Olu Fasan

The decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to name June 12 as Nigeria’s “Democracy Day” was motivated by self-serving politics, not principled conviction. Before he became president in 2015, Buhari never once publicly condemned the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election. However, in 2018, as he prepared to seek re-election the following year and faced […]

Virtual Courtesy — How to engage online without being perfectly visible, by Ruth Oji

Imagine sitting in on a virtual meeting where twelve people had their cameras off. The presenter kept asking questions into what felt like a void. No one responded. No reactions. No acknowledgment. Just silence. Then someone typed “??” – a thumbs-up  emoji – in the chat. That single emoji changed the entire energy of the room. […]

FIFA World Cup 2026, it’s glory days for global television, by Okoh Aihe

Nigeria is not at the FIFA World Cup 2026 holding in Mexico, Canada and the United States. This is already well known because failure cannot easily be assuaged with momentary exhilaration or euphoric response to a mundial that has already earned the status of the biggest footballing event ever, 48 national teams playing in three countries.

A new low for FIFA, by Patrick Omorodion

For the layman, FIFA means Federation of International Football Associations. It was formed 122 years ago on May 21, 1904 in Rue Saint-Honore in Paris, France.

After him came Daniel Burley Woolfall (England): 1906–1918, Jules Rimet (France): 1921–1954, […]

Ona Judge: Preferred suffering in freedom than plenty in US Presidency, by Owei Lakemfa

Stories like that of David and Goliath teach moral lessons especially about victory not necessarily going to the mighty and powerful. The  freedom battles between a sitting United States President  and, a slave girl he owned, are no less intriguing. Such a true life story is usually tucked away as they tell of the humiliation and […]
