Obasanjo Could End Up As Nigeria's Worst Divider

To keep Nigeria guessing is fast becoming an instrument of policy under Obasanjo. Even in his declared War against Corruption, our deadliest cancer, the best our Commander-in-Chief is doing, is to keep Nigerians guessing on whether or not his war is only against his perceived enemies in Government or a principled war against all forms of Corruption in our country...

A Rehearsal For Daylight Rigging In 2007

We are doing much worse today in some areas of our national life than at any time in our checkered history. Election rigging in our country has become a creed. If that were not so, I cannot, for the life of me, understand why the PDP, with its overall track record, can still be parading itself as a Party of the future in a country as embattled and derelict as Nigeria with the PDP on the driver's seat...

For Nigeria, A Big Lesson From South Africa And Liberia?

We are ever so generous in volunteering peace keeping forces in Africa and around the world, even though the majority of our citizens are wallowing in abject poverty. We volunteer troops for peacekeeping duties because most of our leaders have seen the budget for such international deployment of troops beyond borders as another Security Vote whose disbursement they are not obligated to explain...

The Retention Of The Immunity Clause In The Nigerian Constitution Is A Mockery

If I were President Obasanjo and I was determined to fight Corruption, my priority would be to use all the leverage I have to convince my Party the majority Party at both Federal and State levels to give me the 2/3 majority I would need in each State to have the immunity provision expunged from the constitution with immediate effect...

Ondo State Deputy Governor

I am still hoping that Agagu and his Deputy would allow wiser counsel to prevail, and not assume that once they have finally given Akure a new Deji, theirs and our problems have been solved for good. It has only been swept under the carpet...

Agagu's Victim Today…

What kind of Government is Agagu running in Ondo State, if he is allowed to brazenly circumvent the Law? A Governor who will sanction this kind of coup, would have no problems rigging an election just to cling to office by all means. This move by Agagu does not sound right to me, regardless of how you slice it…

Meeting Olu Agbesua

It is true that most of us in Diaspora may not even be registered to vote at home. But we still can do a lot to influence what goes on in our State and country by giving moral and financial support to worthy and deserving candidates...

Confusion Galore On The Deji of Akure's Selection

The Agagu Government has fumbled again by not listening to wiser counsel. Agagu has, in my judgment, failed to uphold the Rule of Law...
