The Yoruba people in the Southwest of Nigeria are deeply immersed in culture, history, ideology, and other guiding principles that define their existence. This...
The continuing legal battle involving former Kaduna State Governor, NasirAhmad El-Rufai, has become much larger than the fate of one politician. Ithas developed into...
Politics is good. It is admirable. As a politician, I only need to be good at four things: lie, cheat, and steal and do nothing. What beats being a Nigerian politician? Nothing! What beats lying, cheating, stealing and laziness?
One wonders why Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, Fredrick Fasehun, Gani Adams and Asari Dokubo were incarcerated while Obasanjo and his EFCC continue to watch Adedibu’s bold fingers writing Oyo State black...
Politics in Nigeria is like war because it is the most lucrative job in Nigeria. It is not impossible to see a man that made some moderate money from, say business, become stupendously rich once he's elected into political office...
Indeed, this house has collapsed. I do not envy the person who will take over from Obasanjo. The person will inherit an angry, hungry, impoverished and frustrated populace, wilfully plunged into unimaginable hardship by a regime that behaves as if it was contracted to visit untold punishment on Nigerians...
As the current Vice-President, Atiku is the # 2 person in the order of hierarchy in Nigeria. It is a collective responsibility, if Obasanjo has failed, he has also failed. If it is true that he introduced OBJ this second time around, and he finds OBJ so abhorrent now, then Atiku must have a poor sense of judgment...
Education in Nigeria has been interrupted by regime change since independence from Britain in 1960. Now that our nation has embarked on sustaining unity, democracy and economic growth, the next president should make a budgetary commitment to education...
It is apparent that after seven plus years of waffling, missing, walking, limping, grins and cheers, democracy has by and large been good to Nigeria...
Why would Balonwu and his co-travellers on the boulevard of infamy physically attempt stopping the governor from carrying out her lawful duties? Is it part of their lawmaking responsibilities? What manner of desperation would inform such ignoble conduct?
I am not a fan of the Big Brother nonsense, and all such shows, like beauty pageants, where people are paid and cheered on to throw their honour and dignity as human beings to the dogs, to satisfy the depraved taste of irredeemable voyeurs...
Perhaps the time has also come for us to stop calling those carrier bags by the derogatory term ‘Ghana Must Go’; rather it seems more appropriate to call them ‘Corruption Must Go’ in view of their illicit use by some of our corrupt politicians...
Any one who casually dropped by to see me that Tuesday afternoon would think I was going on vacation. My luggage was stuffed with lounge wear, a pair of house slippers, a pair of Addidas, t-shirts, CDs, books and magazines. I was going away, but not on vacation. I was checking myself into the Psychiatry Unit of a major hospital...
President Umaru Musa YarAdua's departure from Saudi Arabia and arrival in Nigeria is very dramatic and, quite possibly pregnant and loaded with intrigues and meanings...
Probably more than any other developing region, Africa has witnessed far-reaching changes which have impacted socio-economic, political and cultural relations, with profound implications...
In life, Ojukwu was at once a spellbinding presence and approachable; he was both charismatic and truly larger than life. One measure of Ojukwu’s stature as a historical figure is that, among those who knew him – or merely knew of him – it’s extremely difficult to meet many who can honestly say they were indifferent to him...
The whole creation of God groans. And the saints and those to be manifested as sons of God groan too. But we shall take them one after the other. We take the groaning of the entire creation of God in this part...
