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...

In Nigeria, selecting party chairmen is always subject to the zonal system of picking our political leaders. Every position is zoned to a particular area regardless of merit and need. You could therefore have a political buffoon and an amateur becoming party chairman...
The Minister of the Federal Capital, Nasir el-Rufai and Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Aminu Bashir Wali, addressed the press at the United Nations as part of the ongoing Federal Government's new initiative to address the negative media coverage and international pressure on Obasanjo’s administration to conduct a free and fair election next month...
I have been hoping for a flourishing period, a better tomorrow. However, this is fast becoming a mirage, a tint in the sky.... I hope for a time when we all shall stop walking on our heads...
The assurances of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua notwithstanding, an indication of the possibility of Nigeria not achieving the Millennium Development Goals was given recently...
