The High Profile Fraud Existing In Nigerian Civil Service

The High Profile Fraud Existing In Nigerian Civil Service

January 5, 2023 3:19 am

Like a sinking ship, the Nigerian state is fast deteriorating and zooming on a fast lane to the precipice. Politicians have been sufficiently blamed for this damning situation, however, not many people have fully recognised the fact that the ruin wouldn’t have assumed such magnitudes without some active collaboration with civil servants in the country.

The Nigerian civil service has over the years grown to become the engine of corruption in the country. A trip to any government establishment be it ministry, agency, or parastatal in Nigeria at Federal, State, and Local government levels will expose one to the depth …

Raheem's Killing: When Will The Animalistic Behaviour Stop?

Raheem’s Killing: When Will The Animalistic Behaviour Stop?

January 5, 2023 3:14 am

Having a deep reflection on the state of Nigeria and the quality of its leadership, the tiny hopes that many Nigerians haboured that the October 2020 #EndSARS protests would see to the end of extrajudicial killing and other atrocities by security operatives have finally been shattered. Evidently, it appears the rotten eggs in the police force were restrained only for a while before resuming their atrocious ways. This time, their barbarism appears to be on steroids.

Poor Omobolanle Raheem was only the latest among hundreds of victims venturing out of their homes on lawful trips but never returning alive after …

Why The World Must Condemn Taliban’s Unfair War On Women

Why The World Must Condemn Taliban’s Unfair War On Women

January 2, 2023 3:31 am

Just like Leopards are never known to possess the ability to change the indelible spots on their skins, the Islamic extremist group that runs Afghanistan known as the Taliban will struggle to eternity to stop itself from manifesting its true, ugly, and wicked colours through its actions.

A fortnight ago, the group added another absurdity to their long list of atrocities against humanity. This time, women were their victims and as usual, they had zero apologies.

The Taliban has taken another stride in its war against women with its recent ban which prevents women from attending universities, and also from …

Nollywood And It's Poor Interpretation Of African Culture

Nollywood And It’s Poor Interpretation Of African Culture

January 2, 2023 3:25 am

Storytelling is easily the most powerful way to put ideas into the world. All over the world, people are increasingly becoming quite conscious of the kind of stories they allow people to read or watch about them because they clearly understand that telling good stories is a very vital component of marketing. The Nigerian film industry which is captured under the big umbrella called Nollywood which is supposed to be perhaps one of Nigeria’s biggest PR and marketing units appears to be doing the exact opposite.

Ever since Nollywood was officially birthed in 1992 with the production of Living in …

African Leaders Should Be Prevented From Medical Tourism

African Leaders Should Be Prevented From Medical Tourism

January 2, 2023 3:21 am

African countries share quite a lot of similarities both good and ugly. Across the continent, there exists, a shared pattern of social, economic, and cultural practices which exemplifies a lot of positive similarities. On the flip side, there is also a shared pattern of stunted development often fueled by very poor political behaviour across the continent. On average, however, governance failure, endemic corruption, weak institutions, and very horrible governance seem to be common denominators in Africa and this has only culminated to hold the continent down while others are making headway.

The healthcare system in Africa is a sad example …

Imo Uzodinma Will Be Deluding Himself For A Second Term

Imo: Uzodinma Will Be Deluding Himself For A Second Term

December 29, 2022 2:28 am

Following his emergence as Governor on the 14th of January 2020 through what he has now agreed to be ‘Ben Johnson’ theatrics, Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma had just one job, win the hearts of Ndi Imo, sadly he has failed abysmally at that task. Why then is he seeking re-election?

Deep down within Governor Uzodinma’s dark heart, he knows he was not the Governor that was voted by the people of Imo State. Just like the former Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola who was declared winner of the Osun State Governorship election in a contest that many Nigerians …

2023: G-5 Governors And Their Hypocritical Cry For Justice

2023: G-5 Governors And Their Hypocritical Cry For Justice

December 29, 2022 2:18 am

It is without a doubt that justice is the means through which established injustices are stationed, however, the golden eye of justice always has a way of seeing and requiting the unjust man. Over the last six months, 5 Governors elected on the platform of Nigeria’s main opposition Party – the People’s Democratic Party, PDP have been making frantic calls for justice but how genuine are these calls?

Sometime last month, the five PDP Governors metamorphosed into what they now refer to as the ‘integrity’ group or G-5. The group which is led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers …

Africa's Problems Can Never Be Solved By Western Ideologies

Africa’s Problems Can Never Be Solved By Western Ideologies

December 29, 2022 2:10 am

Over the years, the African continent has done little or nothing to discard the borrowed robes that she currently adorns and flaunts. She has stayed open to ‘Westernisation’ despite the fact that it bears no advantage to the continent. Like round pegs in square holes, African and western ideologies do not fit each other. So why then do Africans keep trying to push a misfit into fitting when the continuous efforts only amount to worsening situations?

When you ask an African about development, the average person will tell you that the western way of life equates to development. If you …

The Uselessness Of The South-East Governors In Nigeria

The Uselessness Of The South-East Governors In Nigeria

December 26, 2022 2:33 am

No right-thinking person will be needing a soothsayer to understand that there is a huge vacuum in leadership in the South-East at the moment. The present bunch of Governors in the South-East are not just selfish, they are also lackadaisical, inept, disconnected, corrupt, weak, insensitive, and callous.

Despite the challenges confronting the region, the Governors of the five South-Eastern States have sadly taken the lead in displaying foolishness as they continue to work at cross purposes in suspense of each other, despite facing very similar challenges, the Governors in the region have continued to act in a very discordant manner …

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 3

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 3

December 26, 2022 2:27 am

Today, we will continue to look at a list of roguish Nigerian politicians masquerading as saints. One thing no one can take away from them is the fact that they are smart enough to immerse themselves once in a while or hire someone else to do it for them. They pay PR firms heavily to keep and maintain a good image about them, and for them, that’s all that matters. 

For many Nigerian politicians, it has become almost an occupational hazard to attempt to hoodwink people no matter the situation.

It is no longer news that the problems of Nigeria’s …

Nigeria, A Banana Republic Under President Buhari

Nigeria, A Banana Republic Under President Buhari

December 26, 2022 2:18 am

It took President Muhammadu Buhari barely two tenures to ensure that Nigeria becomes a full-blown lawless society where monkeys run the show and lunatics call the shots. The country is now rudderless and has remained on a consistent drift to total collapse. This is what happens when an airhead and inept individual is smuggled into leadership position by people who are barely informed.

It is without a doubt that Nigeria is currently without a leader. Many people have continued to make the mistake of asserting that Nigeria is on an ‘auto-pilot’ mode. Well, this is not the case because when …
