Very often, the impunity and impertinence with which very serious state matters are addressed in Nigeria, suggest that the political parties are not oblivious of how much they affront the voters' sensitivities...
The signs that the PDP political hold on the South West is only temporary became evident immediately after the 2007 elections when all the candidates from the opposition parties went to the tribunal to rescue them and their stolen mandates from in an election that was said to be the worst in the history of democracy in Nigeria...
Nigerian politicians have turned themselves into instant millionaires just for being members of the National Assembly, paying themselves huge, obscene and unjustified salaries and allowances not commensurate with their very low productivity...
I see IBB as a man with a lot of self respect. I suppose most Nigerians do too especially when we consider the fact that ‘little children’ like Nasir El-Rufai and Ribadu, who served in the Obasanjo government as FCT Minister and EFCC Chairman are also contesting with an agbalagba like him to be president...
Very early in IBB’s time as military president of the country, former Newswatch Editor-in-chief Dele Giwa was assassinated through a letter bomb. There were many pointers to the fact that the IBB administration orchestrated that assassination...
Babangida's vainglorious doings, self-promotion, dark charisma, magnanimity, generosity and even democratic credentials met a huge collision in June 12 annulment of Chief MKO Abiola's presidential victory and the assassination of Dele Giwa.

For those who think I have an ax to grind with the Ibru Family, well, let me say here and now that nothing can be farther from the truth. A section of my family has been friendly with a section of the Ibru family for about 30 years...
In democracy, governance is an activity in the interest of the people that constitute a given community, region or country, including disadvantaged groups. Any state that uses state power and resources to hurt the people through “killer” policies can conveniently be defined as a cannibal government...
Historically, citizens of the Niger Delta have been a thorn on the flesh of pre and post-colonial Nigerian governments. Not a people to suffer injustice in silence, they have a history of political activism that dates back to the 18th century...
The just concluded 2011 general elections in Nigeria have been widely acclaimed to be successful but not without the usual problems, drama and controversies which characterize Nigeria’s elections since independence...
Mr. Obasanjo got it all wrong in hinting that PDP members of the National Assembly are supposed to be loyal to him and the party in all circumstance, laudable or condemnable. Is Mr. President trying to tell the Nigerian people that his party or any other party is bigger and more important than the project called Nigeria?
Africans are free to be optimistic about how well an Obama presidency will mean to the continent. But we must also keep our expectations of him to as close to reality as possible...
The cause of stealing, killing and destruction today is to keep treasures for ourselves, family and relations. But those relations, family and children we are keeping those things for - what becomes of them? What can anyone achieve with stolen things?
