The Obasanjo administration despite investing billions of dollars, estimated to be around $16 billion, in the power sector, did not crack a fire; the country is still trolled by the undersupply of electricity. And subsequent administrations, including the current one are yet to find the X of the power problem. …
Recently, Imo state has been witnessing some peaceful but agonising protests by aged and sickly pensioners who usually come out en masse in front of the Imo State Government House to ask for their arrears.
Four months gone by, and they are yet to receive their pensions from the state government. This ugly cruel treatment is not only being meted to the pensioners but also to many of the civil servants.
In fact, many of them have not been paid any salary ever since Senator Hope Uzodinma took over the leadership of the state as Governor from Honourable Emeka Ihedioha. …
In Nigeria, the politics for the 2023 presidential race has already begun with the rift between Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the Fulani cabal as well as the ousting of the All Progressives Congress National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
Tinubu who is facing his travails of being relegated behind in APC and Oshiomhole who was kicked out as the APC national chairman are not having the best of times even though they are deluding themselves by hiding under the guise of all being well when it has become very apparent to all and sundry that they are now worthless as far …
Aso Rock is the seat of power in Nigeria, and just like every other seat of government in the world, there are always power plays and schemings around there.
Given the recent development in Aso Rock, it’s now undeniable that there’s a serious unhealthy power play in Nigeria’s seat of government between the First Lady Aisha Buhari and a group of very strong individuals who wield so much power and influence,and who are hitherto known as the “CABAL” in the Nigerian political circle.
Ordinarily, the FirstLady shouldn’t be the one at the epicenter of the power play, but the case …
Money which is a means of exchange is an integral part of human existence, and as such every human likes to have enough of it but sadly, many in the contemporary world particularly Nigerian leaders passionately love, and have an inveterate desire for money with every fibre of their soul.
This voracious quest for money by both political and religious leaders is part of the reasons why Nigeria as a country is enmeshed in corruption and nothing seems to be working in the country simply because we have a President who claims to be leading the anti corruption war when …
Several years ago, my team, IICC Shooting Stars FC, went to play a continental club match in Malawi.
On the day we arrived, a few of us decided to watch a movie in a cinema down the road from our hotel downtown Blantyre, the capital city.
We arrived at the cinema a few minutes after the movie had started.
We bought our tickets and were allocated seats. We were ushered into the dark cinema hall by a steward with a torch who led us to the row allocated to us. We went in, sat down and settled to watch our …
When Godwin Obaseki emerged the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the September 10 election in Edo State. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole who was governor at that time described the primaries as the best ever organised by the party.
He noted that the process was transparent, while the delegates were well behaved and called for unity among party members.
He said all the aspirants belonged to one family and needed to work together to ensure victory at the polls.
Comrade Oshiomhole, who described Mr. Obaseki as sound, said he was also at home with governance and “ready to
Many years ago when the late Afrobeat maestro and prophet, Fela Anikulapo Kuti lamented about our brand of democracy and concluded in his songs that it was rather a demonstration of craze, many did not see what he saw but today he is vindicated.
Since 1999, every administration had always tried to improve the lots of Nigeria, except Buhari’s administration. Not only that he toppled a democratically elected government as a military dictator, he has gone ahead to rubbish all the tenets of democracy in his second coming.
The question arising from happenings today is whether Nigeria still practices democracy …
The virus, which broke out late December in China’s city of Wuhan, has rapidly spread across the length and breadth of the world and killed hundreds of thousands of souls.
U.S, which has become the epicenter of the pandemic after it broke out in the country in January 2020 has enjoyed lesser sleep, and the hapless citizens are ready to give up anything to have their sleeps back, a …
In my life sojourn, I have learnt that no empire lasts forever, and no kingdom has ruled for eternity.
For this present generation, any man who gives them little crumb is a sinless messiah, who can do whatever he likes without being questioned.
Instead of building industries and employing our people, what Prince Arthur Eze has been able to attract is a new Zone of the NPF just to intimidate the communities Ukpo is in land dispute with.
You can’t be called Ozoigbondu, when you are actually tormenting the surrounding communities with your wealth.
Our people says that anyone who …
Barring any unforeseen circumstance, Odion Jude Ighalo will become a Shanghai Shenhua player at the end of the week.
This comes as his loan deal with the Red half of Manchester expires at the end of May.
With Odion Ighalo, we have come to the familiarity of his Cinderella story; Boyhood fan comes to a team right in the middle of a striker crisis. Received so much criticism than Loris Karius’ howler at the Champions League final (2018) because he was simply not your type of striker. Moreso, he came from the Chinese league having previously been more of an …
