People have said that the riots in Nigeria were generated and influenced by a semi-literate elite that needed to show solidarity with the rest of the Muslim world. Why they would encourage the talakawa become as demented as they were we cannot tell...
I think that Shagari and his likes should go and bury their heads in the sand. It was their mismanagement of our economy that opened the back door for the military to come in and pillage our national treasury...
What kind of a man is President Olusegun Obasanjo? What type of a president is this who can not keep his words, especially when his promise was not made under duress?
It is a well known fact that the power of the gun, the power of information and the power of legitimacy are necessary to maintain any government in power. As such any society that surrenders the apparatus of information, security and electoral legitimacy to a particular group or sect of people does so at its own peril...
Mr. Obasanjo has, in various capacities, served his country for most of his life in what many would agree, in a creditable manner. He was there during the civil war. He was there when the nation was rudderless when Murtala was assassinated. He was there to hand over power to Shagari. He was there campaigning against Apartheid in South Africa. He was there when Abacha terrorized us...
Obasanjo has repeatedly admitted the failings of his regime that, to right-thinking persons, are sufficient to establish the ordinariness of his standards and performance to date. He has, for instance, admitted the near-collapse of the entire internal security apparatus...

Chris Ngige came into power through a skewed electoral process, shook off the stigma of stained personalities and worked for the good of his people. This is not to sanction the possible perfidy that brought him in power, but it is noteworthy that he fought in a honorable way to retain what he thought was his...
Recently, a mound of evidence emerged of dumb Dame Patience Jonathan's ugly descent into gratuitous attack on Reuben Abati over his arse-kissing type of image laundering. The unspeakably powerful wife of the president is not a woman who respects piety, formality of language and the incomparable intellectual chasm between her and Reuben Abati...
Barack Obama was lucky. His Luo father made the most profound decision of his life by rejecting Britain for America. By now, Obama would have been a mere London inner city duff solicitor on a nine to fiver with fading jackets, worn out shoes, hire purchase BMW and a mortgaged three-bed house...
There is no doubt in my mind that Alhaji Dangote is a smart businessman but it is the responsibility of the government to regulate business not to be in their pocket...
In the past, I have had cause to praise the Nigerian judiciary for due diligence and hard work. Under normal circumstances, I am the last person you want to look up to for words of praise for any branch of government...
Today, a sizeable number of Nigerians who return home for a spouse do so at their own peril. Danger and deceit abound as marriages have become business ventures...
As Nigeria’s foremost nationalist and first post independence Head of State, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe was to Nigeria, what George Washington is to America, Nkrumah is to Ghana, Nasser is to Arabs, and Mandela is to South Africa...
