10 Buhari Appointees Who Stole Nigeria Dry

June 19, 2023 2:53 am

Last month saw the unceremonious bowing of power of former President Muhammadu Buhari and his criminal enablers and looters of Nigeria’s common patrimony. While the former President’s penchant for failure, incompetence, and nepotism did not surprise many, his proclivity to harbouring thieves came as a rude shock to many who saw the President earn the anti-corruption title of Mai Gaskiya in Northern Nigeria.

Under Buhari, mindless looting became so common that the old man from Daura saw him gasping for air under the weight of the outrageous stealing which went down under his watch. At a point, he saw himself …

Bulkachuwalisation And The Shame Upon Nigerian Judiciary

For over two decades, Nigeria has been fighting bloody battles to liberate the country …

Restitution To Africa: Does Britain Have No Honour?

June 19, 2023 1:19 am

It beggars belief that centuries after Britain committed mind-numbing atrocities against the African people, it is yet to offer any meaningful apologies. The former imperialists are yet to either apologise for the transatlantic slave trade which they spearheaded or the blatant stealing of resources in African colonies which they supervised. Despite trafficking more African slaves (at least 4 million people) than any of its cohorts, the best response Britain has been able to afford is to express ‘regret’. After spearheading the greatest atrocity in human history, Britain should be more circumspect than it currently postures but that is not the …
