Opinion: Abba Moro and Alison-Madueke should go – it’s about grace; it’s about honour

by Adeolu Ademoyo That ministers such as Abba Moro and Diezani Alison-Madueke are still in office after scandalous tenures in office says a lot about the gracelessness that defines public office and service in Nigeria. Ms. Kathleen Sebelius was the former American secretary of Health and Human services while Mr. Abba Moro is Nigerian interior... Read More

Opinion: By honouring Abacha and IBB, Jonathan has canonized dictatorship

by Adeolu Ademoyo As a witness to the truth of that deadly period of Nigerian history I will like to know if President Jonathan asked for the Mohammed Gambo Jimeta panel report of the death of Dele Giwa before he Jonathan “canonized” Ibrahim Babangida. President Goodluck Jonathan put ash and dirt in the mouths of... Read More

Opinion: Sanusi’s suspension and the danger of hasty judgment

by Adeolu Ademoyo Mike Ozekhome and others in this frame of thinking gave other non-legal, emotive and purely subjective reasons for their claim. I will endeavor to quote Ozekhome who gave succinctness to this unreason or bread and butter “finger, food and feed” public service “ethics”. With the “suspension” from office of Mr. Sanusi Lamido...

Opinion: Fallacy of division and corrupt Nigerian Ministers

by Adeolu Ademoyo So it is silly that when the story of Mrs. Stella Oduah’s corruption broke religion and ethnicity were deployed in her defense. Last week four Nigerian ministers were relieved of their services. Some of them had been pointedly accused of corruption. They are Stella Oduah (Aviation), Godsday Orubebe (Niger Delta Affairs), Caleb... Read More

Opinion: Government shut down- From Obama to Jonathan

by Adeolu Ademoyo This is why it is a false analogy to liken President Jonathan to President Obama because the Nigerian situation is not the same as the American situation.

Opinion: Facebook, Nigerian Presidency and freedom of speech

by Adeolu Ademoyo When critical essays become “unreachable” on Facebook without any explanations, it may amount to vicariously doing the bidding of the Nigerian presidency –either knowingly or unknowingly. Inadvertently, Facebook may be violating the Fourth Amendment Act. I ended 2013 with an essay on how ethics and ethnicity will play a major role... Read More

Opinion: How Nigeria’s imperial Presidency was created

Opinion: Al-Mustapha and Elbit – How politicians sell Nigeria’s security

by Adeolu Ademoyo As the Nigerian state continues to wobble from one contradiction to the other without any progress, the modern state of Israel and Mossad hold a copy of how Nigerian democracy was thwarted during the Sani Abacha period through their training of the Strike Force. Such knowledge is a privilege, a lack of... Read More

Opinion: How politicians manufacture terrorism and criminality in Nigeria

Opinion: Was Jonathan’s Israel trip a ‘holy trip’ or a state visit?

by Adeolu Ademoyo President Jonathan traveled to Israel recently. But we did not know whether it was a “holy trip” or state visit or a combination of the two. Mr. President took along on the Israel trip Mr. Oritsejafor the controversial president of Christian Association of Nigeria whose moral and faith credentials are questionable. “…I... Read More

Opinion: National Dialogue – Reno Omokri’s convoluted logic and other choristers

by Adeolu Ademoyo There are two categories of defenders.

This is because the two sets... Read More

Opinion: Stella Oduah – Ethics, gender and corruption

by Adeolu Ademoyo So the Stella Oduah-gate is the latest illustration of the inequity, stench and putrid unity of patriarchy and matriarchy in Nigeria’s public affairs. And because she was openly caught in the act pants down Princess Stella Oduah is only the most recent public face of that immorality. The allegation that Princess Stella... Read More

Opinion: OduahGate and the importance of ethics to National Dialogue

by Adeolu Ademoyo While President Jonathan awarded Elbit Security-gate without bidding, Stella Oduah-gate was awarded without bidding. While Elbit-gate has two costs in the public domain, Stella Oduah-gate has inflated prices. Same thing, no difference. The ethics of motive is an aspect of ethics that allows us inspect and assess the moral worth of an... Read More

Opinion: The ethical questions before Jonathan’s Conference

Ethics is basic and clear. President... Read More
