This explains the different shades of fake news making the rounds about his preferred candidate for the 2023 presidential election. But anyone familiar with the Sokoto Caliphate would know […]
Continue ReadingIt was not surprising that the Nigerian Diaspora community would gather in New York City at the 76th session of the UN General Assembly to protest the reign of terror under President Muhammadu Buhari. What was deeply surprising was that the agents of the Nigerian government from the homeland would attempt to counter the truth by storming […]
Continue Reading“Fellow countrymen and women…You are all living witnesses to the great economic predicament and uncertainty, which an inept and corrupt leadership has imposed on our beloved nation for the past four years. I am referring to the harsh, intolerable conditions under which we are now living. Our economy has been hopelessly mismanaged. We have become […]
Continue ReadingThe abduction of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and the recent terrorist attack on the leader of the movement for Odudua Nation, Sunday Adeyemo (aka Sunday Igboho), by the Muhammadu Buhari regime, did not come as a surprise. In a recent piece, calling for the removal of the president from […]
Continue ReadingNigerian youths should be applauded for calling off the nationwide protest previously planned on June 12 to demand the removal of President Muhammadu Buhari from office. The bloodthirsty dictator could have exploited the protest to murder more citizens. These helpless youths have suffered enough for the sins of their heartless leaders. Yet, the goal of […]
Continue ReadingPresident Joseph Biden’s inaugural speech said it all. The United States of America has overcome the attempted coup of January 6 incited by President Donald Trump. The country is set to re-assert itself as the citadel of democracy. “Democracy has prevailed.” Democracy has truly prevailed! The coming of Biden, therefore, is not a welcome breeze […]
Continue Reading“I will lead a war against them (Nigeria) like Ojukwu. Am not joking, I know am on air, and I am warning them now. Any attempt to rob us the way they rob our brother (GEJ), the battle will start from Rivers State. We will remain opposition state like Lagos. In fact, we from the […]
Continue ReadingAny objective analysis of a long-winded essay, “COVID-19: Can Africa Afford Lockdowns?”, by Chukwuma Soludo, would wonder if the renowned economist is suddenly cast with a voodoo spell. Mr. Soludo needs no introduction. A distinguished professor of economics, with advanced degrees—both academic and honoris causa—from the prestigious University of Nigeria, he was a former Governor […]
Continue ReadingThe death of Abba Kyari, former Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, has elicited a great deal of controversy, but the posterity demands that the history of our leaders bears the truth. Without doubt, the history of Kyari will cite powerful voices that remember him as a very loyal servant. These voices were diverse. […]
Continue ReadingIt did not come as a surprise that Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole would survive the latest move to sack him as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC). His opponents have been hitting the tail, instead of the head. The gist is that Oshiomhole’s tenure of crisis cannot be divorced from the overbearing ambition […]
Continue ReadingTongues have been waging on why the South-East Governors Forum reneged on its initial plan to launch a regional security outfit in Igboland, similar to the Amotekun of the South-West. But the people should ponder no more: the sudden u-turn has everything to do with sheer selfishness. Security crisis has become an existential threat in […]
Continue ReadingOnce a dictator, as a military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari sought democratic power, preaching change; and we embraced him, believing that nothing could be worse than the regime of Goodluck Jonathan. But we are finding out the hard way: the obvious change the Nigerian people have seen since Buhari came back to power is […]
Continue ReadingNigeria’s foremost anti-corruption crusader and a presidential candidate in the country’s 2019 election, Omoyele Sowore, who is being detained by state authorities on trumped-up charges, may not regain his freedom soon, because he happens to be a paragon of virtue who truly personifies the famous quotation: “I belong to nobody.” It is clear this uncommon […]
Continue ReadingIt has been over 45 days since a presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2019 election, Omoyele Sowore, got detained without bail by state agents, and one would have thought that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), could learn from recent events and begin to toe the path of honour […]
Continue ReadingThe recent protest in Germany in which former deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, was harassed, chased around, subdued, and beaten naked like a palace pickpocket brought big shame to Nigeria, and the senator must own the full blame for this. Even a novice could have discerned that the popularity of the #RevolutionNow, led by Omoyele […]
Continue ReadingThe naked beating of Senator Ike Ekweremadu in Germany evokes painful lessons, particularly with Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and, of course, the continued detention of the frontline anti-corruption advocate and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore. First, the sympathy generated from the Ekweremadu beating has to do with the fact that […]
Continue ReadingMost of us who held our noses to support President Muhammadu Buhari again in the last election had hoped for true change, if he was re-elected. Two months into the second tenure, while it may appear as if Buhari is indeed incorrigible, it is definitively clear that he has forgotten why and how he became […]
Continue ReadingPresident Muhammadu Buhari is not only giving Nigeria a bad name with his handling of the herdsmen crisis, the good Fulani people should also understand that the president might have equally damaged their brand around the world. As I noted in a recent piece, “Second Term: A Leadership Lesson Buhari Must Learn”, the style of […]
Continue ReadingThe 2019 presidential election, in which Muhammadu Buhari was declared winner, has continued to generate tension. The main opposition candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has since filed a petition at the election tribunal. But he did not stop there.
