Why Nigerian Government Must Free And Apologise To Kanu

Why Nigerian Government Must Free And Apologise To Kanu

April 24, 2023 4:37 am

In the last days of the President Muhammadu Buhari maladministration, it has opened its window of apologies and has been dishing them out almost daily. What continues to be perplexing is why the outgoing nepotistic and brutal government has chosen to be unrepentant in its evil ways by being selective with its apologies. Indeed, if there is anyone that deserves this apology as much as the millions of Nigerians whose lives Buhari deliberately destroyed, it should be the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu whom the Buhari junta violated in so many ways without any form …

Africa Needs To Return Fully To Her Rich Cultural Heritage

Africa Needs To Return Fully To Her Rich Cultural Heritage

April 24, 2023 4:32 am

Over the last century, Africa has fought and is fighting bitter wars with the uncompromising winds of colonisation, slave trade, neo-colonisation,  communism, capitalism, poverty, disease, and bad leadership. Although this list is incomplete, it is safe to say that most of them may possibly not have dealt damaging blows to Africa had Africa not allowed itself to be ‘adulterated’ by the West. Despite the big baskets of resources the continent is endowed with – both natural and human, Africa still finds itself in the lowest echelons of development. This has to change and only Africans themselves can make that happen. …

Gang Of Looters Part 9

Gang Of Looters: Part 9

April 24, 2023 4:20 am

Kulala Bodega had not experienced the sort of peace he was experiencing in a long time. He was on the terrace of his house reminiscing about the good old days of ease and peace but he knew that the battle against Chief Timbabu had to be fought and won, no matter what it required.

He had succumbed to Awiti’s idea of prayers done the old way, just so that it isn’t said that he did exhaust all the options available to him. He has spent the night undisturbed with Awiti but it was time to continue the brawl.

His phone …

Adamawa Guber Yakubu Has Completely Ruined INEC

Adamawa Guber: Yakubu Has Completely Ruined INEC

April 20, 2023 5:50 am

There is nothing currently happening that suggests that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu will not end up on the wrong side of history when the chips are down. In Nigeria, quite a number of jobs within the public space are by nature thankless regardless of the efforts one puts in, but a job can be done so badly. For the INEC chair, what would he will be remembered for are the ugly episodes and memories of failure which he promoted to alarming levels.

Professor Yakubu came at a time when all the tools …

Gang Of Looters: Part 8

April 20, 2023 5:40 am

The seemingly calm demeanour of Kulala Bodega was simply a facade, one that made it look like he was immune to the spreading allegations against him and the protesting people outside of his office.

He had left his house after the consolation and encouragement from his wife, Awiti, into the bewildered face of his personal assistant and the debilitating drive to his office. The fact that his re-election posters had been smeared and tampered with showed him how the people now saw him.

He did not have the time to wallow in regret because he had more pressing issues to …

$800m Palliatives Buhari's Last Looting Package

$800m Palliatives: Buhari’s Last Looting Package

April 20, 2023 3:45 am

With barely 40 days to the end of his constitutionally allowed eight-year stay in office, President Muhammadu Buhari and his criminally-minded gang of looters are obviously not done ransacking Nigeria’s resources. His actions and inactions since he took over the reins of power eight years ago have clearly shown how much he hates the country he desperately sought to lead.

Most of the people who ignorantly imposed Buhari on Nigerians in 2015 did so for many reasons, prominent amongst them being the result of his perceived anti-corruption stance. He projected himself as an anti-corruption champion who will stamp out corruption …

Africa Needs Africanism Not Capitalism

Economic Success: Africa Needs Africanism Not Capitalism

April 17, 2023 4:02 am

It is paradoxical and somewhat ironic that one of the richest continents in the world as far as resources are concerned today parades the poorest sets of people anyone can find on the planet. Africa has for many years remained at the very centre of global economic interests and attention, with major powers still scrambling and failing over its highly lucrative resources. Though stereotypically perceived as the conventional recipient of humanitarian aid, the truth remains that Africa still is, for the most part, being deprived of (its own) wealth rather than benefiting from charitable, outside help as it appears. 

The …

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

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 …
