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

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 …

Who Is Behind The Oil Theft In Nigeria?

November 14, 2022 2:29 am

Nigeria, as presently constituted, qualifies to be named a crime scene. From state-sanctioned insecurity to massive corruption, down to outright abuse of state power. It appears as though Nigeria is fast becoming a banana republic of some sort. With every passing day, a new development occurs, cementing the notion that Nigeria is a criminal state where only crime and criminality thrive.

The anomalies are endless and the situation is rotten and sour.

With no big shot at redemption, Nigeria has continued to crumble, and may very soon become irredeemable.

Ironically, it took recent revelations about the grand schemes of oil …

It’s Time For Northern Nigeria To Understand ‘Restructuring’

November 14, 2022 2:23 am

Over the past three decades, active calls to politically restructure Nigeria away from the structure bequeathed to her by the military has continued to grow and gain traction. The agitation has seen many geo-cultural groups, strong-willed individuals, geo-political associations, and even religious institutions join the call to craft a new roadmap as the current structure is assumed to be unsustainable.

Interestingly, southern Nigeria has seen more individuals and groups who believe in restructuring, and this has made their Northern counterparts who are on the other end of the dichotomy not only jittery, but full of suspicion; fearing the unknown.

Expect More Poverty In Africa With Buhari, Museveni Et Al

November 14, 2022 2:06 am

Ever since Africa resorted to self-governance, astonishing acts of gross ineptitude and recklessness have become the hallmark of a substantial number of leaders who have managed to insert themselves into leadership roles.

Even though most African countries now practice democracy, at least on paper, the truth remains that most serving African leaders prefer to act like little gods, despising democracy and its principles. The tragedy of the African continent is that most of its leaders have nothing tangible to offer, yet, they always make big claims to clinch power without any serious will to better the lives of the people …

Nigeria Does Not Stand A Chance With The 1999 Constitution

November 14, 2022 1:58 am

In sane countries, the process of writing and adopting constitutions is entirely people-centered. This is because not only will the citizens be guided by it, it will also determine how their lives are shaped.

In Nigeria, the story is different and, as expected, in the negative.

The country’s present constitution was written by ‘strong men’ who did nothing but dethrone civilian governments while declaring themselves lords over the hapless citizens through criminal decrees. How can a country ever witness any iota of progress under such wickedness enshrined into a constitution?

Those who framed the 1999 constitution never acted in the …
