Kanu's Detention: The Irresponsibility And Hypocrisy Of FGN

Kanu’s Detention: The Irresponsibility And Hypocrisy Of FGN

April 10, 2023 3:20 am

Over the past decades, Africa’s most populous country – Nigeria, has managed to earn itself an unflattering reputation as the graveyard of injustice where the rule of law is almost non-extent and citizens more often than not resort to self-help to channel their grievances and assert themselves. The government whose duty it is to uphold and enforce the rule of law has continued to selectively smash and break it, leaving its citizens, disoriented, disenchanted, and disappointed.

There is no word or phrase that can aptly capture or describe what is presently happening in the country. Terrorism, insurrection, insecurity, and …

How Tinubu Has Been Looting In Lagos Recklessly, Since 1999

How Tinubu Has Been Looting In Lagos Recklessly, Since 1999

April 10, 2023 3:10 am

In a few weeks’ time, one of the greatest criminals to have held political office in Nigeria will be sworn in as the country’s number one citizen. At a time when the country is contending with a debilitating reputational crisis abroad and a myriad of state-wrecking issues at home, the last human being that should be handed the cabin to steer the sinking ship will certainly not be a Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He might be a brilliant strategist and shrewd politician by Nigeria’s standard of mercantile politics, but the truth, however, is that the former Lagos State Governor is …

The Garbage Called NYSC, And Why Nigeria Must Get Rid Of It

The Garbage Called NYSC, And Why Nigeria Must Get Rid Of It

April 3, 2023 4:14 am

Just a couple of years ago, a court of competent jurisdiction, in its wisdom ruled that Nigerians do no longer need the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate for appointment into ministerial and, ipso facto, other public offices at the federal, state and other levels. The implication of that judgement which many Nigerians have refused to come to terms with is that the NYSC scheme has outlived its usefulness and relevance to the lives of the youth and elderly of contemporary Nigeria besides being a mandatory clog that sadly denies qualified citizens job opportunities.

It will be recalled that the …

Nigeria Needs Restructuring, Not An Imaginary Messiah

Nigeria Needs Restructuring, Not An Imaginary Messiah

March 27, 2023 2:55 am

It is safe to assume that one of the biggest reasons why Nigeria has failed to be pulled out of its current abyss is that many of its citizens have been chasing the wrong priorities. The just concluded Presidential ‘selection’ which many Nigerians opted to partake in despite several warnings not to do so, underscores this assumption. It is regrettably sad that despite the potential the country wields, she has continued to drift consistently while her citizens continue the shadow chase.

For many decades, Nigerians have continued to clamour and complain about the same things without results. Unfortunately, they have …

Buhari, CBN And The Continuous Abuse Of Suffering Nigerians

Buhari, CBN And The Continuous Abuse Of Suffering Nigerians

March 20, 2023 10:55 am

Nigerians have never had things this bad in their country. They have been subjected to the worst degrees of deprivation, subjugation, and mindless inhumanity for most parts of their lives which will leave any sane mind wondering if the social contract between Nigerians and their leaders is different. Over the last seven years, the story has been worse as Nigerians have only continued to drift deeper into pain and misery with every passing day.

Having a cold-hearted leader as President was surely not what many Nigerians bargained for when they opted to foist President Muhammadu Buhari themselves in 2015. Prior …

Diseases Africa Needs To Fully Return To Organic Farming

Diseases: Africa Needs To Fully Return To Organic Farming

March 16, 2023 5:56 am

The world over, Organic farming has been embraced as a better and healthier alternative to conventional farming, and there are many reasons for this widespread acceptance. First, organic agriculture has been proven to be the healthier and more ecologically friendly option. Free of the use of mineral fertilisers and synthetic pesticides, the products of organic farming are healthier and cleaner, as well as free of diseases and damaging side effects. The soil is also better off for it because all of the poisonous substances we have been putting into the soil in the name of modern farming have been hurting …

'Fake Professor' Scandal Before You Crucify Onyeka Nwelue

‘Fake Professor’ Scandal: Before You Crucify Onyeka Nwelue

March 9, 2023 3:57 am

One thing humans have failed to learn is that there’s no gain in the fast-growing culture of cancellation and condemnation. It is sad that the nature of humans has now become one that gloats at the failings of others. As the saying goes, misery loves company, but the truth is, your misery won’t get better just because you pulled someone down into the depths of despair.

Celebrating the misfortune of others, mocking people in their state of despair, and luxuriating in the failures of fellow human beings is both toxic and worrisome, and in no way what is expected from …

Under The Fulani

Is Nigeria Perpetually Under The Fulani Oligarchy? 2

March 9, 2023 3:45 am

The one thing that is worse than being a slave is being a slave that loves his chains. For many decades, southern Nigerians have often through their actions and inactions, shown that they love their chains and don’t seem interested in welcoming any idea that bears some semblance of genuine freedom.

Despite the carefully-orchestrated scenarios created in recent times by the Fulani Oligarchy in Nigeria, the truth remains that to date, they still own Nigeria and are not prepared to give up an inch of their stronghold on the country for any reason.

The Lugardian contraption and geographical expression called …

In Truth, Tinubu, Atiku, Obi Have Nothing To Offer Nigeria

In Truth, Tinubu, Atiku, Obi Have Nothing To Offer Nigeria

March 6, 2023 5:04 am

A fortnight ago, over 90% of the Nigerian voting electorate who went out to cast their votes in the presidential elections actually voted for the wrong persons. As awkward as this assertion will sound to Nigerians who voted for the three front-runner candidates, the truth of the matter is that none of these candidates will have offered Nigeria the drastic change she yearns for and this is something Nigerians must come to terms with if they are really desirous of quenching their problematic thirst for a Messiah. 

Only a discerning mind will fathom that all the leading candidates in the …

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 …

Is Nigeria Perpetually Under The Fulani Oligarchy?

Is Nigeria Perpetually Under The Fulani Oligarchy?

March 6, 2023 4:43 am

The Nigerian contraption has remained a classical case of ‘the more you look, the more you see’. As presently constituted, Nigeria is no doubt a political invention that is in urgent need of divine intervention. The unwilling union of the forcefully amalgamated southern and northern protectorates has continued to trudge on and secure validation at any major turn while shying away from the reality of Fulani control and domination.

An election cycle has just ended and a number of southerners in Nigeria are in a jubilant mood about the outcome that saw the emergence of a Yoruba man from the …

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 …
