By Ugochimereze Chinedu Asuzu As a prefatory point, let it be noted that all known laws continue to tilts towards the utmost presumption of the innocence of persons accused of crimes. This assertion is doubly so, as regards persons who are not even charged for any offence known to law. Offering credence to this […]
By Fredrick Nwabufo. On the cusp of every political evolution in Nigeria, there is often a trafficking of recriminations — ‘’The north is scheming to dominate the south, and the south is angling to outwit the north’’. Syrupy conjectures and time-tested misconceptions. Crisis merchandisers are at their best stoking the tension as conspiracy theories of […]
By Niran Adedokun Except for members of the All Progressives Congress, I do not understand the contestations following the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s choice of a running mate. If you do not support the APC, your discontent with the choice is enough tonic to mobilise for the defeat of this candidate, his […]
By Ori Martins I would have completely ignored the current infantile social media attack targeted against Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, but for the involvement of two prominent Mbaise personalities mischievously associated with the ongoing ill tailored slings on the former governor of Imo State. The sponsors and spin doctors of these disjointed, carelessly scripted […]
By Ori Martins Governor Hope Uzodimma is not a Satan. He is not a Devil either. The Imo governor is a human being. And, like every human, he has good and bad sides. Uzodimma’s flaws, in comparison, outweigh his strong points. Most times, his comments, contradictions and general performance can be said to be […]
The first casualty of capricious election seasons in Nigeria is security. Governance is abandoned, and all efforts and expense are dissipated on party politics. Nigeria’s security insalubrity is deteriorating steeply as the 2023 elections close in. It is all reminiscent of the build-up to the 2015 elections when ubiquitous violence seized the country and […]
By Fredrick Nwabufo. Nigeria is caught in a maelstrom. Ravagers roam across the land unchallenged, extracting tolls in tears and blood from citizens. They expropriate land and govern according to their lust for violence. There is hopelessness in the streets as the country sinks deeper and deeper into a bloodfest. Insecurity will be the toughest […]
By Ahaoma Kanu Hello Mr. President, I saw that you had a very interesting visit recently during the 2022 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Kigali, Rwanda; I saw your pictures and watched you during the event. You are not one to miss such occasions that would accord you some shoulder rubbing with […]
𝕭𝖞 𝕯𝖗 𝖀𝖌𝖔𝖏𝖎 𝕰𝖌𝖇𝖚𝖏𝖔 Peter Obi may be an old politician, but he is a new phenomenon. Almost 20 years ago, he ran for the Anambra governorship; now, he runs like a sanctimonious newcomer leading an angry horde chasing scapegoats. Those swooning over him remember Obi of the Platform series more than the Obi […]
By Fredrick Nwabufo Restructuring. This has been the governing subject since 2015. It became very tendentious with the secessionist agitations and the killings by gangs of criminals across the country. The APC government was accused of coming to power on the pinions of lofty ideals and precepts, including restructuring, but abandoned them as soon […]
