Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 2

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 2

Only a few perceptive people throughout Nigeria have been able to understand the games of Nigerian politicians and understand that they are not really who they claim to be. Most politicians have concluded that the Nigerian public is gullible, hence, hoodwinking them seems like the easiest thing in the world to do.

The first way they do this is to sell a different story and image to the public, painting themselves as saints, meanwhile behind the camera, they are very terrible people.

A greater majority of Nigerian politicians are corrupt, untrustworthy, roguish, inept and pretentious, yet, they spend billions of …

Will Deborah Yakubu Ever Get Justice?

Will Deborah Yakubu Ever Get Justice?

Justice is the first condition of humanity and even though the arc of the moral universe appears long, it will always bend toward justice. A few days ago, the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar reminded the world once more that the young blood of a young Christian girl whose life was terminated by Islamic fundamentalists was yet to be accounted for and that justice may never be served in her case.

In May this year, a young Christian woman by name, Deborah Yakubu was lynched by a mob in Sokoto State. The headless mob began …

Anyone Coming To Clean Buhari's Mess Should Be Pitied

Anyone Coming To Clean Buhari’s Mess Should Be Pitied

One of the goriest sights to behold in the world is seeing people groan under poverty in the midst of plenty. As a country, Nigeria has no business being poor. The country is evidently blessed by nature with abundant natural resources, energetic human capital, a fantastic climate, and one of the greenest landscapes anyone can find on the planet. Yet, in the midst of all these, Nigeria now has the highest number of poor people in the whole world.

The challenges Nigeria is experiencing today did not start with the current maladministration, it was the cumulative effects of leadership failure …

It Is Time To Scrap The Crap Called NYSC

It Is Time To Scrap The Crap Called NYSC

If there is anything Nigerians must learn, it is to acknowledge their failures especially when the signs become too obvious. The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) which has failed to live up to the expectations of the founders has become an abysmal failure in recent years and this is something Nigerians must understand.

Founded in 1973 through a decree by Nigeria’s former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, the initial objective of the NYSC scheme was to rebuild, reconstruct and reconcile a country battered by the civil war or more appropriately the Nigerian genocidal attacks on Biafrans. The idea was to …

2023: Bola Ahmed Tinubu Has Nothing To Offer Nigeria

2023: Bola Ahmed Tinubu Has Nothing To Offer Nigeria

The disgrace and shame are no longer local, it is now international. A few days ago, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu was in London. Quite strangely, this time, his purpose in the United Kingdom was not to hold endless nocturnal meetings with aggrieved opposition Governors or to go for routine medical check-ups or treatments. No, this time he was in London to disgrace Nigeria on the international scene.

As the candidate of the ruling party, Tinubu quite understood the stakes and what holding an engagement session at Chatham House, London meant. But Tinubu …

Unveiling New York Learning Hub’s Accelerated Programmes

In any working society, education is always the premise of progress and advancement because knowledge is liberating. The New York Learning Hub has armed itself with an understanding of this fact and this is largely the fuel behind its determination to make very conscious efforts to set lofty standards in the knowledge grooming industry.

Founded in 2022, the New York Learning Hub has performed beyond expectations within months. The highly rated citadel of learning was the brain-child of Nigerian-born, New York-based highly rated literary heavyweight, Prof. MarkAnthony Nze. He is a man who after so much research and deep thoughts …

Why The World Must Force Putin Into A Truce

Why The World Must Force Putin Into A Truce

It is time to bully the bully. The world can no longer continue to watch President Vladimir Putin throw his weight around while subjecting the world to unimaginable difficulties. There has to be an end to the whole charade and the time is now.

Today Putin’s Russia has become a big threat to the entire world order and with every passing day, the possibility of witnessing a Third World War which was once assumed unthinkable is now being seriously considered a possibility by diplomats thanks to the man who thinks through his ego. Following the invasion of Ukraine in February …

Now That Oil Has Been Discovered In Northern Nigeria

Now That Oil Has Been Discovered In Northern Nigeria

The recent viral news report that the drilling of the black gold – crude oil, which is now ongoing in Northern Nigeria has continued to generate mixed reactions from several sections of Nigerians. If Nigeria was not a country whose unity has been shattered and the faultlines exposed, it should be cheering news that one billion barrel crude oilfield and 500 billion cubic feet of gas reserves were discovered by the Nigerian state.

Given the fact that the product being chased is the blood that fuels the Nigerian economy and one of the biggest sources of revenue for the …

There Is No Unifier In Atiku, Nigerians Must Be Alert

There Is No Unifier In Atiku, Nigerians Must Be Alert

Abraham Lincoln once said; ‘You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time’. There is no advice more befitting for the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar who have relied on the short-term memory and lack of attention to details of Nigerians to sell them fallacies.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who is Nigeria’s former Vice President now prefers to be called ‘The Unifier’ who is ‘Pan Nigerian’, who has ‘Built bridges’, and who believes in ‘One Nigeria’. …

The Rapid Degenerating State Of Higher Education In Nigeria

The Rapid Degenerating State Of Higher Education In Nigeria

Today, dark clouds hang over the educational system in Nigeria. It’s on the verge of collapse and the managers of the sector are standing hands with Akimbo waiting for the evil day. The leaders in the country are bereft of ideas or worse still, lack the political will to implement them and the whole country is fast headed to a life-swallowing ditch on a fast lane, who will save the Nigerian educational system?

Over the past few decades, the quality of education offered in Nigerian public tertiary education has become an eyesore. Year after year, the degeneration has remained consistent …

Was Wike Elected To Entertain Rivers As A Band Leader

Was Wike Elected To Entertain Rivers As A Band Leader?

Ever since Rivers State Governor, Nyesome Wike lost the Presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to Atiku Abubakar in June, a lot has changed about him. He has now become a social crusader for justice, a supermodel, an entertainer, and an attention seeker, all in one.

In Rivers State today, clowning has taken over the role of diligence because Wike is Governor. Hypocrisy now roams in garish outfits, dancing in self-adulation and posing for cameras as the self-appointed defender of social justice. Opportunism and political childishness have now been elevated to higher standards and are on their way …
