2023: Nigerian Gang Of Looters Recycling Themselves

2023: Nigerian Gang Of Looters Recycling Themselves

November 30, 2022 2:58 am

Over the years, politics in Nigeria has become an old-school game – a game that allows politicians to recycle and align themselves at every turn in election cycles. These alignments have, sadly, remained based on self and group interests and not National interests, while Nigerians and Nigeria have remained the biggest losers in all of these shenanigans.

It is well-known that politics in Nigeria has been one bereft of ideology, system, and mindset. Nigerian politicians who have mastered the art of deceit and fraud have continuously played on the intelligence of gullible Nigerians without consequences. To them, it is just …

Qatar's Controversial World Cup And Western Hypocrisy

Qatar’s Controversial World Cup And Western Hypocrisy

November 30, 2022 2:53 am

The FIFA World Cup is perhaps the most complex sporting event at the international level. Every four years, it draws an intimidating number of visitors, media attention, and a global spotlight. This year, the tournament is being hosted by Qatar, which is perhaps the smallest nation to have had that privilege. Interestingly, Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA world cup has brought about what is arguably the highest controversy around a host country for any football event.

With a size of 4,471 square miles, Qatar is a country sitting on a barren sandy plain where most of its 2.8 million residents …

Nigerian New Notes: CBN Led By Emefiele Is Bereft Of Ideas

November 30, 2022 2:47 am

Nigeria’s apex Bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), got Nigerians reacting to the samples of the new designs of higher denomination currency notes just a few days ago. The decision to redesign these currencies was earlier announced amid mixed feelings from Nigerians who wanted more from a Central Bank that has supervised the eroding of the value of their beloved Naira.

The big question that has been left unanswered, however, is how the new currencies will manage to reverse Nigeria’s fast-paced journey to economic abyss.

The announcement by the Governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele attracted controversies from experts, …

2024 Gubernatorial Race: Why Uzodinma Must Not Be Returned

2024 Gubernatorial Race: Why Uzodinma Must Not Be Returned

November 21, 2022 11:36 pm

A few weeks ago, Nigeria’s electoral umpire, the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), announced that the next gubernatorial election in Imo State will be held on the 11th of November, 2023. This was a confirmation that following the January 2020 Supreme court magic, Imo State has now joined the League of Nigerian states that now hold off-cycle governorship elections.

As expected, the cloud is gathering and the rainmakers are smiling. The usual gladiators have commenced their usual games and this time, they are not prepared to leave any stone unturned for any reason. The prize is Douglas House and it seems …

APC Campaign In Jos: Was Tinubu Under The Influence?

APC Campaign In Jos: Was Tinubu Under The Influence?

November 21, 2022 5:33 am

From praying for God’s blessings on his new political party known as ‘PD-APC’,  to facing angry youths who pelted him with stones, down to losing an important Federal House of Representative member to death shortly after the charade – it was a Tuesday to forget for the heroine-loving former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu and his supporters as he flagged off his campaign at the ancient city of Jos, Plateau State.

Tinubu had settled for Jos as the venue for the flag-off of his Presidential campaign ostensibly to pass a message. Going by his calculations, his kinsmen, Chief MKO …

Soludo Vs 'Obidients': What's The Way Forward?

Soludo Vs ‘Obidients’: What’s The Way Forward?

November 21, 2022 5:22 am

The Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo shocked the entire Nigerian political sector when he became the first sitting Governor in the South-East to go head-to-head with the supporters of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi. In reaction, Obi’s supporters who refer to themselves as ‘Obidents’ called for the head of the Professor for daring to crucify their Messiah in his long and critical treatise.

Last Monday, Soludo published an article he titled, ‘History Beckons and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).’ To be clear, the piece was his honest appraisal of Obi’s …

Restructuring: The Only 'Messiah' That Can Salvage Nigeria

Restructuring: The Only ‘Messiah’ That Can Salvage Nigeria

November 21, 2022 5:10 am

Any sincere observer who is passionate about Nigeria would have noticed that the richly endowed African country has over the past decades continuously deteriorated so much that it is now tipping off the edge of a precipice.

A good look at the past shows that at some point, Nigeria held so many promises and potential. Sadly, today, those potentials have turned to become problems, and Nigerians have constantly seen themselves chasing ‘Messiahs’ who seem to have a hint about what to do about their ugly situation.

Nigeria is presently being confronted by the worst period in her over six-decade-old history. …

Top 5 Wealthy Nigerians: Looters Or Legitimate Money Bags?

Top 5 Wealthy Nigerians: Looters Or Legitimate Money Bags?

November 21, 2022 4:55 am

Part 2: 

Nigeria is a country where the more billionaires climb the wealth ladder, the more the number of poor people in the country geometrically increases. Each of the top five richest Nigerians have so far amassed more money than they will ever hope to spend in their entire lives and yet at least 5 million Nigerians will struggle to feed themselves every year, and most even die off due to malnutrition. The inequality is so extreme, and no one seems to be talking about it. This ugly trend has exacerbated poverty, fermented social unrest, and has become a ticking …

Congo Cobalt Mining: AU Must Stop The Use Of Child Labour

November 21, 2022 4:41 am

It is rather painful and sad that while kids are learning and playing with their gadgets in Europe and America, some African kid is somewhere undergoing a very painful experience just to provide the raw material used for the manufacture of those devices. The world barely notices it because it is happening somewhere in Africa where ‘anything goes’, conveniently forgetting that before the colours, we were all first humans, and humanity must always come first. 

In several parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) which is in Central Africa, the issue of slavery and child Labour in the mining …

New York Learning Hub Professional Studies Par Excellence

New York Learning Hub: Professional Studies Par Excellence

November 21, 2022 4:33 am

Not many institutions of higher learning today genuinely believe in adding value to the lives of their students. For most of them, it is just another business opportunity. This situation has often placed students at a disadvantage by denying them the essential nitty-gritty needed for academic excellence. Correcting this anomaly is one of the biggest reasons behind the birthing of the New York Learning Hub.

The New York Learning Hub is a disruptive globally acclaimed learning citadel that is fully out to pose a heavy challenge to conventional business processes and to create a new pathway to excellence through …

Top 5 Wealthy Nigerians: Looters Or Legitimate Money Bags

Top 5 Wealthy Nigerians: Looters Or Legitimate Money Bags?

November 14, 2022 2:37 am

Nigeria is a country that presently warehouses one of the worst economic inequality numbers in the entire world. Despite being one of the most endowed countries in Africa both in terms of natural and human resources, Nigeria is still home to the poorest people on the continent. In the face of plenty lies abject poverty and the gap continues to widen.

The country’s richest man, Aliko Dangote would have to spend $1 million every day of his life for 42 years to completely exhaust his fortune. This is both worrying and sad, and would make one wonder whether there is …

2023 Presidential Election: APC Has Already Rigged It

2023 Presidential Election: APC Has Already Rigged It

November 14, 2022 2:33 am

Many Nigerians are presently holding onto hope like a tiny rope that keeps them from falling over the edge and a dose of illusion that seems to strengthen them. As valid as their permutations with regard to the 2023 election sound, most people do not appear to understand the ruthlessness of the monster they are up against.

There is a general feeling in the land that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government of the All Progressives Party, APC has been a colossal failure and hence his party shouldn’t be rewarded at the polls. Yet, the candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu …
