Wike And The G-5: All Braggadocio, Zero Balls!

Wike And The G-5: All Braggadocio, Zero Balls!

February 16, 2023 3:15 am

Nigerian politicians, ever so creative in political gimmickry, appear to be the only species among global politicians who have mastered the art of using lies and deception to fool the same group of people over and over again without consequences. By unleashing a myriad of disingenuous, ingenuous, and obviously idiotic spins, they hoodwink their ways to relevance without substance, which is something Nigerians must end if they intend to stand the slimmest chance at redemption. 

A bunch of aggrieved Governors in Nigeria’s main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, who have not metamorphosed into the G-5 or ‘Integrity Governors’ …

Malami Must Be Pressured To Release Nnamdi Kanu

Malami Must Be Pressured To Release Nnamdi Kanu

February 16, 2023 3:08 am

If Nigeria is not a banana Republic, why is Nnamdi Kanu still behind bars despite a clear order for his release? Many months after an Appeal Court judgement provided the leeway for Nigerian authorities to walk the talk as ones desirous of respecting Nigeria’s diversity by releasing Nnamdi Kanu and seeking political solutions to the problems besieging the South East region and parts of the South-South, the Nigerian federal government is still adamant and hell-bent on keeping Kanu incarcerated against all voices of reason. 

It is without any iota of doubt that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra …

Lack Of Respect For Zoning Fuelling Crisis In Imo - Chukwu

Lack Of Respect For Zoning Fuelling Crisis In Imo – Chukwu

February 13, 2023 6:44 am

Ahead of the November gubernatorial elections in Imo State, gladiators are already positioning to either wrestle power from the incumbent Governor, Hope Uzodinma, or support him to retain his position in Douglas House. One of the notable politicians who will play a major role in making that decision is Hon. Athan Chukwu.

Hon Chukwu was a councilor during the military regime of IBB and has been in active politics for over three decades. He is a political leader in Emekuku ward 2 and a renowned stakeholder in Owerri North.

In this interview with Africa Digital News, New York, he shares …

Can Paul Kagame's Exploits Becloud His Tyranny?

Can Paul Kagame’s Exploits Becloud His Tyranny?

February 13, 2023 3:28 am

It would be impossible to talk about African Politics and the bigwigs without mentioning the name Paul Kagame, and there are lots of reasons for this. It is given that the achievements of Kagame can be seen even by the blind, and will continue to be talked about in decades to come.

It was Kagame who commanded the rebel forces that fought to end Rwanda’s genocide over two decades ago, making him a saviour and a demi-god to many.

Since Kagame became Rwanda’s President in 2000, Rwanda has steadily become a major success story in Africa; one that continues

Menace Of Roadblocks In Southern Nigeria

Menace Of Roadblocks In Southern Nigeria

February 13, 2023 3:23 am

A greater percentage of interstate roads in Nigeria are probable death traps. From state to state, the deplorable state of these roads is an enduring feature one will find everywhere. As things stand today, it will be the 8th wonder of the world to travel a 100-kilometer stretch of road anywhere in Nigeria without encountering potholes, craters, gullies, and other hazards. As bad as the roads already are, the predicaments of Nigerians do not stop there as checkpoints, better known as roadblocks in local parlance have added more pain to their suffering.

Anyone who is a regular user of Nigerian …

Joe Ajaero NLC New President, Honour Well-Deserved

Joe Ajaero: NLC New President, Honour Well-Deserved

February 13, 2023 3:13 am

A great leader is one who does everything within his power to leave memorable footprints on the sands of time. It is a leader who is decisive enough and has all the guts needed to take bold and frank decisions regardless of whose ox is gored. These molds of leaders are quite scarce and do not occur every day and that is because their qualities are unique and outstanding. Comrade Joe Ajaero is one of such great leaders and celebrating, and encouraging them is always the right thing to do.

A few days ago, Mr. Ajaero emerged unopposed as the …

Lawan's Coup And The Recklessness Of The Nigerian Judiciary

Lawan’s Coup And The Recklessness Of The Nigerian Judiciary

February 9, 2023 4:02 am

The concept of Justice is not a natural phenomenon to humans who are naturally prone to unjust and selfish actions, but the struggle for justice remains one of the noblest acts in society. The pursuit of justice in Nigeria has come under very intense attack lately, and even more worrisome is the fact that it is the institution which is being looked up to protect the rule of law that is now raping it gruesomely. 

The judiciary in Nigeria is confronted with a challenge of credibility that is as old as the return of democracy in 1999. Bearing in mind …

Buhari's 2015 - 2023 The Worst Time To Live In Nigeria

Buhari’s 2015 – 2023: The Worst Time To Live In Nigeria

February 9, 2023 3:40 am

When President Muhammadu Buhari leaves office in a few months’ time, Nigerians will not forget him in a hurry. A number of Nigerians have jokingly suggested that getting a ‘certificate of survival’ won’t be bad for anyone who pulls through to the post-Buhari days and this will certainly not be a bad idea. Just like he did during his first stint as a military dictator, Buhari has spent the last seven years unleashing suffering on Nigerians that will leave one wondering what exactly their crime was.

The state of the Nigerian economy under Buhari over the last seven years have …

Tinubu's War With Buhari's Cabal

Tinubu’s War With Buhari’s Cabal: Has Jagaban Been Tamed?

February 6, 2023 5:39 am

Regardless of how one chooses to look at it, these are certainly not the best of times for the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The relationship between himself and the man he claims to have made President eight years ago is clearly not the blossoming one that the minions of both individuals have continuously painted for Nigerians.

The cordiality of Tinubu’s relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari and some key figures in his party has been nothing close to being excellent. A fortnight ago, Hajia Naja’atu Muhammad who is the director, Civil Society Liaison, …

PDP G-5 Govs When Mature Men Dance Naked In Public

PDP G-5 Govs: When Mature Men Dance Naked In Public

February 6, 2023 5:32 am

In recent times, the group of five Governors of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has grown to become a public nuisance. Last December, through their garrulous leader and spokesman who doubles as the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike, they had promised to name a Presidential candidate in January and join his campaign train, despite the furore generated by that proclamation, it is one week into February and the spinless Governors are still hiding under their disillusionment. 

Over the last eight months, the G-5 Governors who also call themselves the ‘Integrity’ group of Governors, made up of Governors Nyesome Wike …

The US Must Put A Stop To Surging Gun Deaths Now

The US Must Put A Stop To Surging Gun Deaths Now

February 6, 2023 5:26 am

The United States of America is at gunpoint; literally. Americans, day in and day out find their heads at the tip of a pistol or get shot dead when going about their daily business. The media is rife with stories of students killing their teachers and fellow students, spouses killing their partners, kids, and themselves, and even religious fanatics wiping large numbers of people off the earth’s surface just because they can.

Of course, it suffices to say that the country is at the mercy of merciless, aimless, and senseless killers who have made it such that the blood …
