To the Wannabe Governors who would be President

Bob MajiriOghene Etemiku -
A 'good' political record is a relative item and term that can be bought and sold in the supermarket of politics. The good records that these presidential aspirants parade is bait, carefully disguised all of these years to programme us into swallowing their hook...

Letter to Edo State House of Assembly

Bob MajiriOghene Etemiku -
To the honorable members of the Edo State House of Assembly: it does not give me any pleasure to write these lines to you. What I have to say to you now comes from deep inside my guts and I have no regrets whatsoever if you take my words amiss...

Political Parties and the Political Process

Sam Kargbo -

Ministerial Appointments in Nigeria

Sabella Ogbobode Abidde -
The political appointment process is not an exact science. Generally speaking, once the votes are counted and a particular candidate is declared the winner, the notables who participated in the political struggles usually feast on the spoils of war...

What Does Babangida Want?

2

We are doing much worse today in some areas of our national life than at any time in our checkered history. Election rigging in our country has become a creed.

What are the attendees going to talk about that a slightly educated Niger Deltan doesn’t already know? The solutions do not lie in the heavens or in the nicely-worded statements of policy wonks crossing the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean.
