₦77 Trillion Debt Buhari's Wickedness On Nigeria's Future

₦77 Trillion Debt: Buhari’s Wickedness On Nigeria’s Future

It has been established that there is nothing wrong with borrowing, however, when one borrows on behalf of the public only to steal it, it becomes highly sacrilegious, wicked, and inhumane since the repayment of such debts are going to fall back on the same public who knew nothing about it Ab initio. 

Perhaps, one of the most potent dangers threatening the very foundation of the Nigerian state is the increasing propensity of governments to solely rely on internal and external borrowing to finance their operations. Under previous administrations that preceded the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government, there were flashes …

Only A Hard Reset Can Save Nigeria From Implosion

Only A Hard Reset Can Save Nigeria From Implosion

The Nigerian situation is becoming more pathetic as the days go by. Contrary to the dreams, hopes, and aspirations that Nigerians had at independence, 62 years after, the country at its very best is nothing short of a falling state that is on the brink of complete failure if nothing drastic is done to save it.

The fate of the average Nigerian is increasingly becoming uncertain with the turn of every new day. Nigerians are literally roasting at the moment under very harsh realities yet they are supposed to be citizens of a country so richly blessed with natural and …

Dying Reading Culture And The Bleak Future Facing Nigeria

Dying Reading Culture And The Bleak Future Facing Nigeria

As cliché as this might sound, the popular saying ‘if you want to hide something from a black man, put it in a book’ couldn’t be any truer. Interestingly, and sadly too, Nigerians take this even further as they wouldn’t even read a single page, let alone talk of an entire book. This sad reality has not only made Nigerians and Nigeria lose a lot of progressive opportunities but has caught international attention and made Nigeria the laughing stock once again.

When we emphasise about the dying reading culture in Nigeria, there are two ways to look at it. …

The High Profile Fraud Existing In Nigerian Civil Service

The High Profile Fraud Existing In Nigerian Civil Service

Like a sinking ship, the Nigerian state is fast deteriorating and zooming on a fast lane to the precipice. Politicians have been sufficiently blamed for this damning situation, however, not many people have fully recognised the fact that the ruin wouldn’t have assumed such magnitudes without some active collaboration with civil servants in the country.

The Nigerian civil service has over the years grown to become the engine of corruption in the country. A trip to any government establishment be it ministry, agency, or parastatal in Nigeria at Federal, State, and Local government levels will expose one to the depth …

Nollywood And It's Poor Interpretation Of African Culture

Nollywood And It’s Poor Interpretation Of African Culture

Storytelling is easily the most powerful way to put ideas into the world. All over the world, people are increasingly becoming quite conscious of the kind of stories they allow people to read or watch about them because they clearly understand that telling good stories is a very vital component of marketing. The Nigerian film industry which is captured under the big umbrella called Nollywood which is supposed to be perhaps one of Nigeria’s biggest PR and marketing units appears to be doing the exact opposite.

Ever since Nollywood was officially birthed in 1992 with the production of Living in …

2023: G-5 Governors And Their Hypocritical Cry For Justice

2023: G-5 Governors And Their Hypocritical Cry For Justice

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 …

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 3

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 3

Today, we will continue to look at a list of roguish Nigerian politicians masquerading as saints. One thing no one can take away from them is the fact that they are smart enough to immerse themselves once in a while or hire someone else to do it for them. They pay PR firms heavily to keep and maintain a good image about them, and for them, that’s all that matters. 

For many Nigerian politicians, it has become almost an occupational hazard to attempt to hoodwink people no matter the situation.

It is no longer news that the problems of Nigeria’s …

Nigeria, A Banana Republic Under President Buhari

Nigeria, A Banana Republic Under President Buhari

It took President Muhammadu Buhari barely two tenures to ensure that Nigeria becomes a full-blown lawless society where monkeys run the show and lunatics call the shots. The country is now rudderless and has remained on a consistent drift to total collapse. This is what happens when an airhead and inept individual is smuggled into leadership position by people who are barely informed.

It is without a doubt that Nigeria is currently without a leader. Many people have continued to make the mistake of asserting that Nigeria is on an ‘auto-pilot’ mode. Well, this is not the case because when …

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints

Nigerian politicians are the perfect definition of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Despite being some of the filthiest, most corrupt humans on the planet, they never stop making efforts to pass themselves off as saints who should be emulated as role models by Nigerians and even other African leaders.

These are men who routinely steal public funds, flout court orders, resist court summons, and use their ill-gotten wealth to dribble their way back to power and influence. None of them is looking out for the country nor are they bothered about the damage they are doing to the present and future …

Doctors Fleeing Nigeria, A Ticking Time Bomb

Doctors Fleeing Nigeria, A Ticking Time Bomb

From all indications, it appears there is fire on the Nigerian mountain. Sadly, this fire is not particularly getting the attention it deserves because presently, Nigerians are engrossed in the euphoria and frenzy of political activities. Nigeria is presently witnessing one of the biggest brain drain ever experienced in the African continent and the leaders and citizens alike appear unbothered by this ticking time bomb.

It is difficult to come across any profession in Nigeria that is not currently losing its best brains. With every passing day, countries in Europe, Asia, North America, and the like are opening up new …

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 2

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 2

Only a few perceptive people throughout Nigeria have been able to understand the games of Nigerian politicians and understand that they are not really who they claim to be. Most politicians have concluded that the Nigerian public is gullible, hence, hoodwinking them seems like the easiest thing in the world to do.

The first way they do this is to sell a different story and image to the public, painting themselves as saints, meanwhile behind the camera, they are very terrible people.

A greater majority of Nigerian politicians are corrupt, untrustworthy, roguish, inept and pretentious, yet, they spend billions of …

Anyone Coming To Clean Buhari's Mess Should Be Pitied

Anyone Coming To Clean Buhari’s Mess Should Be Pitied

One of the goriest sights to behold in the world is seeing people groan under poverty in the midst of plenty. As a country, Nigeria has no business being poor. The country is evidently blessed by nature with abundant natural resources, energetic human capital, a fantastic climate, and one of the greenest landscapes anyone can find on the planet. Yet, in the midst of all these, Nigeria now has the highest number of poor people in the whole world.

The challenges Nigeria is experiencing today did not start with the current maladministration, it was the cumulative effects of leadership failure …
