Executive Summary

Following the cash that shapes America’s democracy.

American democracy is under siege—not by foreign adversaries, but by its own wealthiest citizens. This exposé uncovers how billionaires have quietly transformed politics through dark money: untraceable funds funneled through shell groups, Super PACs, and nonprofit fronts. What began as a loophole has become an industry, one that converts private wealth into public power while leaving ordinary …

Wike’s Dashed Hopes And The History Of Abandoned Governors

Wike’s Dashed Hopes And The History Of Abandoned Governors

February 23, 2023 4:42 am

By the 29th of May, 2023, for the first time in ages, the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike will get an opportunity to introspect deeply on his roles, involvements, and actions during the past seven years as Rivers State Governor. For the first time since democracy returned in 1999, Wike looks likely not to be on the payroll of any government. It sure promises to be a defining moment. 

The maverick Governor of Rivers State who has managed to put his name on everyone’s lips is a toxic influence on Nigerian politics. Like virtually all narcissists, he thrives on …

Lack Of Respect For Zoning Fuelling Crisis In Imo - Chukwu

Lack Of Respect For Zoning Fuelling Crisis In Imo – Chukwu

February 13, 2023 6:44 am

Ahead of the November gubernatorial elections in Imo State, gladiators are already positioning to either wrestle power from the incumbent Governor, Hope Uzodinma, or support him to retain his position in Douglas House. One of the notable politicians who will play a major role in making that decision is Hon. Athan Chukwu.

Hon Chukwu was a councilor during the military regime of IBB and has been in active politics for over three decades. He is a political leader in Emekuku ward 2 and a renowned stakeholder in Owerri North.

In this interview with Africa Digital News, New York, he shares …

Tinubu's War With Buhari's Cabal

Tinubu’s War With Buhari’s Cabal: Has Jagaban Been Tamed?

February 6, 2023 5:39 am

Regardless of how one chooses to look at it, these are certainly not the best of times for the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The relationship between himself and the man he claims to have made President eight years ago is clearly not the blossoming one that the minions of both individuals have continuously painted for Nigerians.

The cordiality of Tinubu’s relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari and some key figures in his party has been nothing close to being excellent. A fortnight ago, Hajia Naja’atu Muhammad who is the director, Civil Society Liaison, …

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 3

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints 3

December 26, 2022 2:27 am

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 …

Was Wike Elected To Entertain Rivers As A Band Leader

Was Wike Elected To Entertain Rivers As A Band Leader?

December 5, 2022 3:31 am

Ever since Rivers State Governor, Nyesome Wike lost the Presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to Atiku Abubakar in June, a lot has changed about him. He has now become a social crusader for justice, a supermodel, an entertainer, and an attention seeker, all in one.

In Rivers State today, clowning has taken over the role of diligence because Wike is Governor. Hypocrisy now roams in garish outfits, dancing in self-adulation and posing for cameras as the self-appointed defender of social justice. Opportunism and political childishness have now been elevated to higher standards and are on their way …

Restructuring: The Only 'Messiah' That Can Salvage Nigeria

Restructuring: The Only ‘Messiah’ That Can Salvage Nigeria

November 21, 2022 5:10 am

Any sincere observer who is passionate about Nigeria would have noticed that the richly endowed African country has over the past decades continuously deteriorated so much that it is now tipping off the edge of a precipice.

A good look at the past shows that at some point, Nigeria held so many promises and potential. Sadly, today, those potentials have turned to become problems, and Nigerians have constantly seen themselves chasing ‘Messiahs’ who seem to have a hint about what to do about their ugly situation.

Nigeria is presently being confronted by the worst period in her over six-decade-old history. …

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 …

What Rishi Sunak Must Do To Avoid The Ditch

What Rishi Sunak Must Do To Avoid The Ditch

November 7, 2022 1:14 am

A fortnight ago, the world was treated to some dose of surprise when 42-year-old former hedge fund supremo, Rishi Sunak was announced as Britain’s third Prime Minister in just about two months. There is no gainsaying the fact that Sunak inherited what many people might describe as something close to a disaster. Staying afloat will now be directly hinged on how well he is able to find solutions to the most prominent problems that might be the only things uniting a deeply divided country. He will need to tackle a growing economic crisis sparked by the situation in Ukraine and …
