Here lies the political monster whose political exploits had blood, sorrow, tears and fear woven around them; here lies an old political beast who mastered the art of political mischief and state terrorism. Here lies the glorified godfather of thugs who dominated his environment with the aid of thugs, occultism and sadism...
It is only in Nigeria…only in Nigeria…would people like Buhari, Babangida and Abubakar be seen in public, let alone speak at any public forum, and let alone have their speeches recorded by the media. Some day, we will be rid of these incorrigible entities that have bestridden our society....
The June 12 election annulment was a complete coup against the people and a continuation of the class struggle in Nigeria; a struggle against the economic emancipation of the poor. It also gives credence to the thesis that in some historical settings, a ruling elite will never relinquish power to the people on a platter of gold...
The rule of law is a cornerstone of democracy and essential to a well-functioning society that protects individual human rights. The government's failure to engage successfully with this nation is due to a failure to understand the structure of the Nigerian charisma...
For all the rants of Nigerian conservatives, nationalist groups and patriotic citizens, the pride of the Nigerian republic takes a back seat to the pride of the Oron, Efut, Efik and other local peoples. How do we tell our brothers and sisters from the Niger Delta that we care when we are so willing to let go of the soil that is under their feet?
I used to think Nigeria has been ruled by corrupt leaders, but now I have changed my mind. Nigeria was ruled and is still being ruled by depraved, murderous and heartless leaders...
Is it not in our character as a people to kill one another in the name of politics? Is smuggling of narcotics and other outlawed drugs not in our character? Is it not in our character to defraud ourselves and other foreigners?
Progressive-minded Nigerians realize that opportunism violates human dignity. Their ideological position is that the welfare of the nation is more important than individual acquisitiveness and personal aggrandizement...
Boko Haram claims it is avenging the “extra-judicial” killing of its leader, Muhammed Yusuf, who died at the hands of the Nigerian Police in 2009, during the presidency of the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua – a Northern Muslim. BH waited for Jonathan, a Christian, to become president before taking terror to a new level...
Those who use age to rationalise Nigeria’s insalubrious political conduct forget that in the same western hemisphere with America is a country called Haiti, the world's first black-led republic which became independent in 1804. Today, Haiti remains the poorest nation in the Americas without a scintilla of democratic culture…
It seems to me that the majority of Nigerians are prisoners. From the inmates of kiri-kiri, through the millions who have had their rights denied them in one way or the other, we are all prisoners in our motherland...
Inconsistency will be a recipe for disaster. Your adversaries are alarmists and carpetbaggers. They couldn’t do it when you were up. Now they want to remove the drip and turn off the monitor. How abominable. Look at them jostling and meandering, positioning and politicking...
There is nothing more pathetic than a critical mob; gangs of columnists, journalists, hatchet writers and career critics may stir up strife but their efforts eventually pass like the hum of mosquitoes seeking to make a noise like thunder...
Why should a political leader appoint somebody who never campaigned for him or showed any interest in politics? Is it just enough to have distinguished oneself in one’s chosen field while turning a blind eye to the political affairs of one's country?
