By David Adenekan “Stop Blaming The Media For The Nocturnal Activities And killing Sprees Caused by Mytte Allah And President Mohammed Buhari Administration: A Rejoinder To Ahmed Kedira Rhetorics On Negative Media Reporting On The Precarious Security Situation in Nigeria”. To start with, the recent Kedira Ahmed’s audio clip may be a nice piece to […]
By Ibe Pascal Arogorn Everyone cannot be a victim of the continuous and outrageous insecurity that exists in Nigeria now. How can a qualitative and sound education be achieved when students and teachers continue to live in palpable fear of kidnappings by bandits? Person whose house is burn doesn’t chase rats. Who go have the […]
By Frederick Nwabufo I once witnessed a macabre execution – early 2000s. It was a quotidian day in Onitsha – except for a sudden alarm jarring everyone grinding away in the day’s humdrum. Thief! Thief! Swiftly, commuters, traders and idlers became vigilantes. They encircled a young man and bludgeoned him until he was lifeless. No […]
BY FREDERICK NWABUFO It is the bounden duty of every citizen to hold the government to account. In fact, citizenship is a call to duty – for the state. And there is no compelling duty which supersedes citizens subjecting their employees – the government – to scrutiny and constant vigilance. Critic is in the government […]
By Steve Uzoechi Owerri, the Imo State capital, is known for a lot of things but not violence or terror. The city loves life and lives it unapologetically. Owerri is particularly known for the good life. A robust night life, enchanting weekends and the knack for celebrating festive seasons to the fullest, all add up […]
By Frederick Nwabufo We abide in wilful fatalism. We see only doom and gloom about Nigeria. We make cynical projections on our country and hold up to ridicule narratives that do not fit into the gloom-ridden portrait. Blood, sorrow and tears saturate the public discourse as if there is no ‘’light, love and life’’ in […]
Nigeria is at a tempestuous crossroads. It will be a failed attempt at casuistry to play down the multi-pronged encumbrances the country is contending with. All is not well. It appears when attention is turned to one problem, another irritation materialises angling for notice. Nigeria has never been this tried and tested by in situ […]
By Frederick Nwabufo I strongly believe that even if by some stroke of kismet, a referendum is held on the niggling question of Nigeria’s rupturing today, most Nigerians will vote to remain in this comely country. A majority of Nigerians only desire better a nation, not a divided one. The paroxysms of secessionist agitations here […]
By Frederick Nwabufo We need new alliances – political, social, and humanitarian concordat. But we must start from a foreground of truth to achieve this holy grail. Our history as dispensed in public discourses and by government hagiographers is largely revised and contorted to suit pacifist narratives. We cannot paper over our past of fissures, […]
By Frederick Nwabufo In the tome of liberation struggles, a few names resonate infinitely. One name that rings trenchant to this day is Ernesto ‘’Che’’ Guevara. ‘’Che’’ envisioned a world as recreated in the dialectics of Karl Marx – where those in the lowest rung of the social strata can command their destiny. Che fantasised […]
