Akeredolu's Passing: Are Betty, Igbo Women Truly Blameworthy

Akeredolu’s Passing: Are Betty, Igbo Women Truly Blameworthy?

January 1, 2024 2:54 am

The solemn news of Rotimi Akeredolu’s demise on December 27, 2023, the revered former governor of Ondo State, has not just brought sorrow to the hearts of many but also sparked a series of speculative narratives, some of which have unfairly targeted his widow, Betty Akeredolu. In times of such profound loss, it becomes paramount to approach the unfolding stories with a balanced blend of sensitivity and objectivity, ensuring that the discourse remains respectful and considerate.

Governor Akeredolu’s battle with prostate cancer marked a profoundly difficult chapter, not only in his life but also in the lives of those closest …

Uzodinma's Campaign Rally: Assemblage Of Gang Of Looters

Uzodinma’s Campaign Rally: Assemblage Of Gang Of Looters

October 23, 2023 1:42 am

In the vibrant political theatre of Nigeria, events seldom unfold without eliciting potent reactions. The recent campaign rally of Governor Hope Uzodinma in Imo State was no exception. Framed as the ‘mother of all rallies’ and conducted at the historic Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri, it was meticulously choreographed to be a spectacle of unity for the All Progressives Congress (APC). Yet, for discerning observers and a significant portion of the masses, it stood out not as a testament to Uzodinma’s popularity but as a calculated facade masking his notoriety.

The illustrious attendance list boasted names that carry considerable weight …

Nigeria, often regarded as the 'Giant of Africa', presents a fascinating amalgamation of cultures, histories, and political paradigms. Navigating its complex political milieu demands not just astute leadership but also visionary foresight. The country's demographic, an intriguing blend of age-old wisdom and youthful dynamism, presents both challenges and unmatched potential. The burgeoning youth populace, vibrant and eager, often finds itself at the crossroads, yearning for representation and seeking avenues to voice its aspirations.

Release Nnamdi Kanu Now: A Must For Tinubu’s Administration

October 9, 2023 3:26 am

Amid the dazzling interplay of Nigeria’s political dynamics, Nnamdi Kanu stands out as an arresting silhouette. Polarising yet pivotal, the narrative surrounding his incarceration resonates not only within Nigeria’s shores but also reverberates internationally. He’s not merely a figure; he embodies the aspirations and frustrations of the southeast, a region that has, for long, sought a louder voice on Nigeria’s national stage. As the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Kanu champions the cause of those who feel side-lined and underrepresented.

Nnamdi Kanu has persistently grabbed headlines, but as of now, he is on the precipice of what …

2023 Imo Guber: Uzodinma's Dubious Charter Pursuit

2023 Imo Guber: Uzodinma’s Dubious Charter Pursuit

October 9, 2023 3:14 am

The Charter of Equity, for the uninitiated, is not a mere political document. It’s a testament to the collective aspiration of Imo’s citizenry for balanced representation in governance. With the Orlu zone’s leadership extending over two decades, the charter’s spirit appears to be at risk. The Owerri zone’s fleeting leadership moments, captured during the tenures of Senator Evans Enwerem and Hon Emeka Ihedioha, only punctuate this imbalance further.

Governor Uzodinma’s reign, apparently, is another chapter in a long-standing narrative of Orlu dominance, casting a shadow over the aspirations and hopes of the Owerri Zone populace. While leadership styles and strategies …

Tinubu's Call Inclusiveness, Not Nepotism, in Governance

Tinubu’s Call: Inclusiveness, Not Nepotism, In Governance

August 7, 2023 2:57 am

In the opening months of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, a keen global gaze has settled on Nigeria’s emerging governance dynamics. Stepping into leadership of a country that’s a kaleidoscope of cultures and ethnicities, Tinubu’s initial moves are more than mere policy decisions; they are essential signals of the administration’s guiding principles. His recent submission of ministerial nominees to the National Assembly, far from being a mundane procedural task, carries the weight of symbolism. It reveals the contours of a government’s philosophy and direction and serves as a litmus test of commitment to inclusiveness and national unity. In a country …

Governor Uzodinma’s Plunder: Imo State On The Brink of Ruin

July 13, 2023 3:57 am

In the heartland of Eastern Nigeria lies Imo State, once renowned for its rich human and natural resources and vibrant culture. Today, the state is grappling with economic instability and spiralling insecurity under the controversial reign of Governor Hope Uzodinma.

In a precarious dance on the edge of insolvency, this piercing exploration is set to thrust us into the turbulent realm of governance, shining an unforgiving light on the problematic landscape shaped by Governor Uzodinma’s reign. This high-stakes examination pulls no punches, providing a searing critique of the administration’s performance under the weight of potential financial ruin.

It all …

Tinubu's Hallucinations Of A One-Party State For Nigeria

Tinubu’s Hallucinations Of A One-Party State For Nigeria

July 13, 2023 3:52 am

In a futile scramble for legitimacy and public acceptance, Nigeria’s recently-inaugurated President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is back with his funny games. Miffed by his unpopularity, he is out to destroy the remnants of Nigeria’s crumbling democracy through a craftily orchestrated takeover of opposition parties and their eventual balkanisation under a falsehood code-named the Government of national unity.

The recent political maneuvers by the former Lagos State Governor have left many Nigerians bewildered, given the fact that the two major opposition parties, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party, are presently contesting the results of the shabby exercise …

2023 Imo Guber: Why Governor Uzodinma Must Be Sacked

2023 Imo Guber: Why Governor Uzodinma Must Be Sacked

July 3, 2023 2:57 am

It is barely four months before Imolites head to the polls again to have a say on their political destiny. The last time they spoke in resounding terms, their choices were invalidated by judicial buccaneers in Abuja who imposed an unpopular Governor on them, but nevertheless, Imolites must fight again, this time, their mission will ultimately be to eject the beneficiary of that injustice from Douglas House.

In any democratic country around the world where democracy is practiced in the real sense of it, the power to effect change in leadership lies within the hands of the people and not …

President Tinubu And His Kakistocratic Leadership Of Nepotism

President Tinubu And His Kakistocratic Leadership Of Nepotism

June 22, 2023 3:40 am

One of the most insanely absurd consequences of having a colossal failure like Muhammadu Buhari as President is that he drops the bar so low that any Tom, Dick, and Harry that replaces him automatically becomes a genius with every move or action they undertake. This is the most typical explanation for what is going on in Nigeria at the moment following the inauguration of President Bola Tinubu. 

The bar of governance as of the expectation of Nigerians as a people, indeed, have been so abjectly lowered that they have been impelled to praise just about any mediocre act of …

Senate Presidency Loss: Kalu And The Other Southern Stooges

Senate Presidency Loss: Kalu And The Other Southern Stooges

June 15, 2023 3:12 am

In 1960, under the guise of independence, Nigeria went from a full colonial of the British to the partial indirect control of a small group of narrow-minded individuals who are now referred to as the Fulani Oligarchy. Unlike the European colonisers, they have been more subtle and unscrupulous with their Machiavellian moves and their grip appears to be stronger.

This group which is populated mostly by people who are mostly of the Fulani stock, owns and runs every military and paramilitary outfit in Nigeria which has helped them solidify their unrelenting hold on power in the country.

Southern Nigerians have …

2023 Election: It's Time, Nigerians Start Facing Reality

2023 Election: It’s Time, Nigerians Start Facing Reality

March 2, 2023 1:08 am

The 2023 elections that many Nigerians have always talked about, prayed, dreamt, prophesied, hoped, and campaigned about finally came and passed over the weekend leaving most of them bruised and mentally defeated. In the aftermath, a good majority of them have resorted to prayers ignoring the fact that if prayers and good wishes were prerequisites for a prosperous country, Nigeria will be far richer than China. Indeed, they have refused to acknowledge the fact that repeated idiocy has never been known to produce different outcomes notwithstanding the frequency of attempts. 

After casting their votes on Saturday, anxious Nigerians waited patiently …

RCCG: The Virile Breeding Ground For Tribal Bigots

RCCG: The Virile Breeding Ground For Tribal Bigots

March 2, 2023 1:04 am

In today’s Nigerian churches, there are various pointers that could help delineate the audacity of religious hypocrisy which has already metamorphosed into a culture, perhaps it could play an important role in exposing the blatant evils, lies, and cruelty perpetrated in the name of Organised Religion in the country. 

One of the dangerous situations that many Nigerians have refused to come to terms with is the fact that contrary to the saintly apparel the church and its leaders have continued to clad themselves in, they are perhaps among the biggest sources of instability to the country who they never …
