It would be arduous for any sane person to easily come to the terms that today’s Imo under Uzodinma has in 19 months received accruals in excess of 140 billion Naira, at least not in a State where salaries and pensions have remained unpaid for over one year, not in a State with a horrible economic space that has seen more and more people plunged into abject poverty, definitely not a State where infrastructure is now in its lowest ebb, surely not in a State that has grown synonymous with every pronounced ill and anomaly in the country, alas, it …

As it appears today, a murky cloud of anxiety and despair is hanging over Nigeria. Threats of secession have assumed alarming proportions, the wind of bad leadership has turned many Nigerians pseudo pessimists. To many of these people, a break up of Nigeria is the only way out and making it a reality would usher in an El Dorado. However, the big question is, is a break up of Nigeria capable of solving the quagmire? 

Admittedly, secession would have been the solution if the unity of the Nigerian entity was the problem. Of course, matching problems with solutions birth results. …

Fulanisation just like Islamisation is a term or an agenda that is based on the process of bringing someone or something under the influence of Islam or under Islamic rule using archaic Fulani laws and traditions.  In contemporary usage, fulanisation may refer to the perceived imposition of an Islamist social and political system on a society with an indigenously different social and political background and this society in question here would be Nigeria.

Nigeria as a Nation-State is on the verge of being completely ‘Fulanised’ by a systematic dominance, commandeering and control of all the laws, legislation and systems …

In recent years, politicians and most members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have shown themselves to have one of the worst reputations of any political party in Nigeria. These politicians are well known for their unscrupulous, crime-filled leadership, callousness, sycophancy, nepotism, organised embezzlement and pilfering of public funds meant for other uses.

The gap between these APC leaders and their wards and constituents is horribly alarming and this is easily attributable to how the politicians and other members of the party who wield political power perceive the ‘common’ man. These APC leaders break rules and violate the constitution which …

Religion and religious fanaticism have remained Africa’s bane. Religious sentiment is always a deal-breaker for many Africans. Religion is so deeply rooted that even politicians blame their failures on a Western imported Deity and thank such for their perceived successes. The inability of their followers who are religious adherents often gives some of these politicians a window to repeatedly rape the humanity of the same people they superintend over without consequences. 

The truth is that the West who introduced Organised Religion to Africa have long relegated it for science and technology, sadly Africa has chosen to enthrone it in perpetuity. …

General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida(Rtd) popularly known by his initials, IBB, was Nigeria’s first and only Military President from 1985 to 1993. He is arguably one of the most controversial persons to have ever led Nigeria since her independence. He turned 80 yesterday, August 17.

IBB was a very harsh military leader who ruled Nigeria with an iron fist from 1985 and he came into power after he staged a palace coup that ousted General Muhammadu Buhari, the current President of Nigeria from office, to 1993 shortly after he annulled the June 12 Presidential election that produced late MKO Abiola as …

Perhaps one of the lessons Nigerians would learn from Kyari’s present predicament is that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is miles away from the Nigerian Police force, unlike the Nigerian police who would forcefully effect arrests before want of evidence becomes their headache, the FBI on the other hand would have got the nude pictures of a criminal before even going ahead to inform same criminal that his or her house address is now known to them. 

Kyari’s initial Facebook denial exposed him as an average Nigerian policeman who only latched on the mental laziness of Nigerians to manipulate himself …

The decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to travel to the United Kingdom for the Global Education Summit on Financing Global Partnership for Education (GPE) 2021-2025 perhaps offered him the opportunity to temporarily stay away from the cesspool of political morass and economic degradation his rulership has dragged the once potentially great but never realised Federal Republic of Nigeria into, to put it in proper perspective, he simply flew out of the sea of terror just to attend a summit he possibly did not know anything about. 

For the first time in a very long while, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, …

In Nigeria, there are various pointers that could help delineate the audacity of religious hypocrisy which has become a culture, perhaps it could help in exposing the blatant lies, cruelty, and evils perpetrated in the name of Organised Religion. In the interest of self-awakening, it has become imperative to bring to the fore the shenanigans of those who conceitedly carry on as the mouthpiece of the Creators of human race on earth and pontificate on both mundane and spiritual matters. 

Very sadly, the religious charlatans are mostly getting away with their manipulation because of the disposition of the Nigerians and …
