Oshiomhole and the South African Mgbeke, by Ugoji Egbujo

I pity Oshiomhole. At 73, our grandfathers had young wives. The culture of polygamy permitted them to keep a harem to cater to all their fantasies. They probably believed a touch of  nubility was needed to soothe aging nerves and joints, especially when the gaze of the older wives had shifted to their grandchildren. But Western civilisation […]

In 2026, Daniel Laryea of Ghana is the new Sarr. Laryea was at the centre when hosts, Red Atlas […]

The lies from Kaduna pulling Nigeria down, by Emmanuel Aziken

There are moments in a nation’s life when tragedy does more than wound bodies and break families. There are moments when tragedy strips a country naked, exposing the rot in its institutions, the poverty of its leadership culture, and the moral hollowness that has quietly become normal.

Has Wike’s Juju Expired? By Ugoji Egbujo

For years, Nyesom Wike seemed untouchable, wielding power with impunity and bending institutions to his will. He could come on national TV ‘barking’.  He could wear crazy colored clothes. He could hold more media chats than the president and all governors combined to gossip about his mentors, who had all become his enemies  As a junior minister, […]

There are several ways to do this and today, we are looking at prayer as a means of communication with God.  Yes, we all know that prayer is channel of communication with the Almighty God but often times, we don’t know how […]
