Who Is Behind The Oil Theft In Nigeria

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'

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

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

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 …

The Fulani Oligarchy's Stooge Called Godwin Emefiele

The Fulani Oligarchy’s Stooge Called Godwin Emefiele Of CBN

November 7, 2022 2:24 am

Mr. Godwin Emefiele is without any argument the worst central bank governor Nigeria has ever had. Over the last eight years, he has plunged the Naira into an unprecedented fall with his insanely clueless monetary policies which have left Africa’s most populous country on her knees, made her the poverty capital of the world, and deepened the misery of her citizens. 

Nigerians won’t be having it this bad if they didn’t have a stooge as the head of their apex bank and the fact that he has escaped being fired despite his open sabotage against the Nigerian economy tells a …

Governor Nyesom Wike And His Politics

Governor Nyesom Wike And His Politics Of Foolishness

November 7, 2022 2:15 am

‘Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools that don’t have brains enough, to be honest.’ — Benjamin Franklin.

Ever since Rivers State Governor Nyesome Wike lost out in the PDP primaries to Atiku Abubakar, his life hasn’t been the same. The aftermath has left the liquor-loving Governor of the oil-rich Riverine State in a phase of his life that he never envisaged. The loss at the PDP primary practically turned him into an activist, a campaigner for southern equity, an anti-corruption crusader, and a promoter of decency in politics, all of which before now, were on different parallel …

North Korea’s Nuclear Program: What Is Kim Up To?

November 7, 2022 2:04 am

Over the years, moments of tension with North Korea have always come and gone, but a cursory look at the situation right now on the Korean peninsula would show that the situation is the most volatile it has ever been in the past decade, with signs that things could deteriorate even further. The question that has been on everyone’s lips is, ‘what is Kim Jong-un up to?’ The answer to this question isn’t as farfetched as you might imagine. In fact, it is relatively straightforward.

Anytime North Korea appears to go on a missile test, the rest of the world …
