Barring any divine intervention, and never ruling out the unpredictability of the cosmic regime, the 2027 general elections in Nigeria will be held. The...
The result of the just-concluded governorship election in Osun State still resonates across the country at deafening decibels. Everybody is celebrating the Accord Party’s...
Bombs first became instruments of assassination in Nigeria on October 19, 1986. The target then was Dele Giwa, a journalist. According to available records, forty eight hours before, the SSS summoned him to their offices for questioning on allegations that he was smuggling arms into the country. They said that his motive was to launch a social revolution...
Prolonged Military Dictatorship stunted Nigeria's democratic growth and its socio-economic development. Dictators created and fostered a culture of impunity in the entire executive and judicial arms of government. They abrogated the Legislative arm and ruled by decrees...
We concede that there is need for urgent reform activity to restore the waning public confidence in the administration of justice as well as address new vistas of challenges, change and opportunities for the judiciary in the new democratic order...
Nigeria has three major problems troubling her at the moment: Police, PHCN and PDP. Is it a coincidence that these entities start with the letter “P”? I doubt it...
Attahiru Jega is not the angel many thought he was. Rather than light, we have just seen darkness. The process that led to the Delta State rerun election and the ‘result’ it threw up is dubitable...
The Nigerian democratic experiment is in its eleventh year and appears to be surviving in spite of its inadequacies. One may be tempted to call this "quantitative assessment". I have observed in some of my previous articles how dangerously our brand of democracy is being handled...
My prior experience with the SSS predicted a termination of my self-imposed literary intermission. Not for the sake of furlough for furlough’s sake though. These political days make the graduation from scrawling to partaking, reckonable...
Nigeria needs rebranding, no doubt. Indeed it is long overdue. And this was why many of us seemed to have jumped at the choice of Dora and consoled ourselves because of her success at NAFDAC. This was also why it was comforting that Dora was quick on the draw about it...
In my response to CNN, I did remind them that Nigerians were not the ones that ran down companies like Enron, Tyco, WorldCom, Arthur Andersen and many of such failed corporations. Also Nigerians were not part of the Whitewater scandal which was perpetrated by criminally minded Americans... - The Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr Frank Nweke
In other climes, democracy is a most exciting experience, and a handover day, a national carnival that provokes widespread joy and pleasant feelings across the land. But here it was a day of great fear and trepidation, a day of gloom and mourning, a funeral almost...
In BayelsaState, things are, for the most part, stagnant. Billions and billions of dollars since 1999 under two administrations, one cannot point to noteworthy progress in the state. Whatever development there is is mostly limited to the state capital, Yenagoa…
In Nigeria, the struggle for "leadership" to get to the government treasury and then loot it seems to be the driving force for most of our politicians, and not to serve as touted in their pre-election pledges...
The recent Court arraignment of three ex-Governors by the EFCC for embezzlement of State Funds to the tune of over One Hundred Billion Naira is evidence that our Public Officers are not ready to change their corrupt ways...
'Ponbele', to those who are yet to catch the radical fire, is the art of speaking your native-born language without dilution of English language. Simply put: speak Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Ijaw, Edo, Igala and Efik in such a simplistically raw mode as to create cultural utopia that shames the old imposition of English language...
Election is fast approaching. I have read about those who want to rule the country. All I've seen so far are personalities and all that people are supporting are personalities. I did not see anyone addressing the issues...
