2023 Nigerian Youths Need To Understand Strategic Thinking

2023: Nigerian Youths Need To Understand Strategic Thinking

March 6, 2023 4:48 am

Emerging trends in Nigeria have shown that young people in Nigeria have finally awoken from their slumber. Rather than the outright docility and apparent lack of interest in the affair of their country, quite interestingly, many youths in Nigeria today are increasingly participating in the process of enthroning leaders and that in itself is a big step. Sadly, their inability to project tact and strategic thinking rather than emotions has become their Achilles heel. 

In the build-up to the just concluded national elections in Nigeria, many young people saw themselves, perhaps for the first time involved in the complicated world …

2023: Why Nigerians Must Not Endorse Another Sham Election

2023: Why Nigerians Must Not Endorse Another Sham Election

February 20, 2023 3:30 am

By this weekend, most Nigerians have concluded plans to troop out en-masse to endorse the flawed system that has held down their country for over six decades. By voting in the elections on the 25th of February with Nigeria as presently constituted, Nigerians will simply be renewing their contracts with the slave master which is the 1999 constitution. This article is not to cast aspersions on these Nigerians who have chosen that path to redemption but to remind them that their decision is apparently not the best on the cards.

For a vast majority of Nigerians, the past seven …

PDP G-5 Govs When Mature Men Dance Naked In Public

PDP G-5 Govs: When Mature Men Dance Naked In Public

February 6, 2023 5:32 am

In recent times, the group of five Governors of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has grown to become a public nuisance. Last December, through their garrulous leader and spokesman who doubles as the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike, they had promised to name a Presidential candidate in January and join his campaign train, despite the furore generated by that proclamation, it is one week into February and the spinless Governors are still hiding under their disillusionment. 

Over the last eight months, the G-5 Governors who also call themselves the ‘Integrity’ group of Governors, made up of Governors Nyesome Wike …

Rented Rally Crowds The Stark Symptom Of Failed Leadership

Rented Rally Crowds: The Stark Symptom Of Failed Leadership

February 2, 2023 4:50 am

In less than 25 days, Nigerian politicians will once again attempt to outdo themselves in their quest to inherit the seat currently occupied by President Muhammadu Buhari. Just as they have always done, they have once again unleashed theatrical moves to win the hearts of Nigerians and sway potential voters using large crowds. The age-long perceptual game of showing strength in the size of crowds they are able to pull off is presently in full throttle and many Nigerians do not even understand that they are merely pawns.

This game which has taken its roots deeply in the political …

2023 Tinubu, Atiku, And The Brotherhood Of Corruption

2023: Tinubu, Atiku, And The Brotherhood Of Corruption

January 19, 2023 2:26 am

Isn’t it amusing to find out that with less than 40 days to the general elections, the two major gladiators who are front runners to take President Muhammadu Buhari’s job are calling for each other’s arrest and prosecution for almost the same reason? The two political juggernauts who are essentially six and half a dozen clearly have nothing to offer Nigerians and it appears they are tired of trying to prove otherwise. 

Ahead of the February 25th elections, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and his counterpart from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), …

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 …

2023: Nigerian Gang Of Looters Recycling Themselves

2023: Nigerian Gang Of Looters Recycling Themselves

November 30, 2022 2:58 am

Over the years, politics in Nigeria has become an old-school game – a game that allows politicians to recycle and align themselves at every turn in election cycles. These alignments have, sadly, remained based on self and group interests and not National interests, while Nigerians and Nigeria have remained the biggest losers in all of these shenanigans.

It is well-known that politics in Nigeria has been one bereft of ideology, system, and mindset. Nigerian politicians who have mastered the art of deceit and fraud have continuously played on the intelligence of gullible Nigerians without consequences. To them, it is just …

2023 Presidential Election: APC Has Already Rigged It

2023 Presidential Election: APC Has Already Rigged It

November 14, 2022 2:33 am

Many Nigerians are presently holding onto hope like a tiny rope that keeps them from falling over the edge and a dose of illusion that seems to strengthen them. As valid as their permutations with regard to the 2023 election sound, most people do not appear to understand the ruthlessness of the monster they are up against.

There is a general feeling in the land that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government of the All Progressives Party, APC has been a colossal failure and hence his party shouldn’t be rewarded at the polls. Yet, the candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu …

2023 Can Obi Become A Magician

2023: Can Obi Become A Magician?

November 7, 2022 1:24 am

When the former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi pulled a surprise in May and opted to quit Nigeria’s main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), it left political pundits flabbergasted as to what must have informed such a decision. To some people, leaving a party that almost made one a Vice President the last time there was an election reeked of desperation and poor judgement, while to others, it was a political masterstroke. The truth is that both schools of thought could be right or wrong and only the February election can provide a definite answer. One …

2023 Reject Presidency By Proxy, Peter Obi Urges Nigerians

2023: Reject Presidency By Proxy, Peter Obi Urges Nigerians

October 26, 2022 4:32 am

Ahead of the official flag-off of their campaigns, the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation has called on Nigerians to reject candidates who are planning to rule the country by proxy, asserting that Nigerians can no longer tolerate situations where governance is turned into family and friends business.

The Obi -Datti Campaign made this call while reacting to the challenge that was thrown at the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi by the Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo for his son to organise a campaign rally in Anambra State just like Seyi Tinubu, APC flag bearer’s son,  did
