Gang Of Looters: Part 7

Gang Of Looters: Part 7

April 17, 2023 3:57 am

Kulala Bodega did not need a prophet to tell him who was behind the ongoing carnage in the city as well as the assault on his image. He had woken in high spirits ready to take on the day as governor and defy Chief Timbabu but all it took to dampen his demeanor was what was airing on the news.

There was an ongoing protest, protesters carried placards with inscriptions that broke his heart; they accused him of not fulfilling the promises he made to them prior to getting elected, they accused him of stealing from the state and enriching …

NYSC: Another Conduit For Looting Nigeria's Treasury

NYSC: Another Conduit For Looting Nigeria’s Treasury

April 17, 2023 3:33 am

Welcome to Nigeria where virtually every notable government ministry, agency, or Parastatal has remained a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for the raping of Nigeria’s resources. Many of these institutions which were created with lofty goals in mind have surrendered themselves to the whims and caprices of the thieving Nigerian political elite class. Rather than serve the purpose for which they were instituted for Nigerians, they have all merely served the purpose of their corrupt masters who think nothing good about the country whose resources they have continually plundered.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has over the years effectively …

Crises It's Either Nigeria Restructures Or Disintegrates

Crises: It’s Either Nigeria Restructures Or Disintegrates

April 17, 2023 3:27 am

Nigeria has, for many years, teetered on the precipice of failure and the deterioration has continued unabated. Synonymous with a downward slippery slope, the journey to the abyss has continued unchecked and Nigerians can only groan. The political elites who run the country like a private estate have refused to allow reason to prevail. They have collectively refused to overhaul the entire system to save the sinking ship, and as a result, Africa’s most populous country now faces an impending implosion.

The Nigerian state has become a failing state of critical geopolitical concern having failed abysmally to keep its citizens …

Gang Of Looters: Part 6

Gang Of Looters: Part 6

April 13, 2023 4:18 am

On the surface, Chief Timbabu looked to be a fierce man, likened to the devil himself without an ounce of emotions asides anger, rage and bile. However, a look into his familial way of life would show a husband and father who craves the love and affection of his family but could not get it.

Chief Timbabu was married to Narini, whom he picked up one night at a night club, took to his home and kept until she got pregnant and he decided to marry her. She looked to be one who wouldn’t trouble him but rather worship him …

Lai Mohammed: The Pathological Liar Who Lies For A Living

Lai Mohammed: The Pathological Liar Who Lies For A Living

April 13, 2023 4:12 am

To gain an insight into how badly Nigeria is managed today, one will simply need to have a critical look at the personality who speaks for the government. How can a government be sincere about its desire to change the lives of its citizens yet retain a compulsive, notorious, and inveterate liar as its Minster of information? This just sums up the whole picture of what the All Progressives Congress (APC) has done with Nigeria over the past 8 years. 

Nigeria’s Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Alhaji Lai Mohammed is a chronic liar who lies without provocation in every …

Prof. Wole Soyinka Allow Old Age To Teach You Wisdom

Prof. Wole Soyinka: Allow Old Age To Teach You Wisdom

April 13, 2023 4:03 am

There is a mistake that most people are guilty of which is to assume that old age automatically ushers in wisdom. Well, the truth is that Wisdom doesn’t automatically come with old age. In fact, nothing actually does come with aging except wrinkles. It’s true, some wines improve with age, however, that will only happen if the grapes were good in the first place.

Many years after withdrawing from the scene, popular Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka perhaps compelled by his instincts to identify with certain benefactors in the Nigerian political environment deemed it appropriate to insert himself in the …

Gang Of Looters: Part 6

Gang Of Looters – Part 5

April 10, 2023 3:41 am

Chief Timababu was not convinced that he still had Governor Kulala Bodega in his grasp. He thought that for the governor to even speak up against him at all showed that there was a brewing a rebellion and he wasn’t having it. His years in the political waters had taught him how to spot the signs and he had to squash it while it was still in its budding stage.

He always felt that since he could make Kulala Bodega the governor, he could as well take him back to where he picked him up and he knew just how …

Post-Buhari Nigeria And The Looming Crisis

Post-Buhari Nigeria And The Looming Crisis

April 10, 2023 3:25 am

The end of a horrifying eight-year tenure of one of Nigeria’s greatest political mistakes is barely two months away, and sadly, while Nigerians should be celebrating the release of the shackles from their necks, they rather shiver in fear of what greater penury they might be descending into.

In 2015, when many Nigerians sang the praises of Muhammadu Buhari as the one who had come to save Nigeria from the evil clutches of the then People’s Democratic Party, PDP, those blessed with hindsight and foresight could see that there was no way the same Buhari who had dealt drastically and …

Kanu's Detention: The Irresponsibility And Hypocrisy Of FGN

Kanu’s Detention: The Irresponsibility And Hypocrisy Of FGN

April 10, 2023 3:20 am

Over the past decades, Africa’s most populous country – Nigeria, has managed to earn itself an unflattering reputation as the graveyard of injustice where the rule of law is almost non-extent and citizens more often than not resort to self-help to channel their grievances and assert themselves. The government whose duty it is to uphold and enforce the rule of law has continued to selectively smash and break it, leaving its citizens, disoriented, disenchanted, and disappointed.

There is no word or phrase that can aptly capture or describe what is presently happening in the country. Terrorism, insurrection, insecurity, and …

How Tinubu Has Been Looting In Lagos Recklessly, Since 1999

How Tinubu Has Been Looting In Lagos Recklessly, Since 1999

April 10, 2023 3:10 am

In a few weeks’ time, one of the greatest criminals to have held political office in Nigeria will be sworn in as the country’s number one citizen. At a time when the country is contending with a debilitating reputational crisis abroad and a myriad of state-wrecking issues at home, the last human being that should be handed the cabin to steer the sinking ship will certainly not be a Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He might be a brilliant strategist and shrewd politician by Nigeria’s standard of mercantile politics, but the truth, however, is that the former Lagos State Governor is …

Gang Of Looters: Part 4

April 6, 2023 4:19 am

The tallest, biggest, and probably scariest looking man, with a hideous and extremely telling scar that stood smack at the centre of his forehead, was at the old-looking yacht harboured at the abandoned marina to welcome him in on his arrival.

Musa Danjuma, the notorious and feared bodyguard as well as the closest ally and most trusted aid of the dreaded Chief Bolu Timbabu, whom he was there to see, certainly looked the part of the tales being spread about him among the people in the higher echelons of power. He was once sentenced to death for the murder of …

Obi’s Leaked Call: Roguish DSS And The Plot To Ruin Nigeria

April 6, 2023 4:15 am

It is not an exaggeration to say that given the filthiness and shenanigans that Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has shown, the party can’t be described as anything other than a criminal gang of renegades who care about nothing else but the country’s coffers. Ever since it was formed by a greedy group of power-hungry monsters, the party has proven itself to be a criminal network through and through with no iota of interest in governance but in state capture.

The events of the past few days have painted a clear picture of how dirty and deadly …
