Office Of The Citizen with Chude Jideonwo: Yemi Osinbajo’s performance is beside the point

by Chude Jideonwo You could feel the sense of panic when some of the enablers and voters (of which I am one, having personally and professionally supported him) of President Muhammadu Buhari heard that the president was returning to Nigeria last week.

Ayo Fayose enters the top 5, Rochas moves up into the top 20 | The YNaija Governors’ Ranking this week

We’re not interested in fighting but it’s commendable of Governor Ambode to call out the Federal Government’s sluggishness with regard to attempts by the Lagos State Government to make certain infrastructural moves. Of course, former Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola has responded to the claims, but he says little (if anything at all) to undercut... Read More

Are our lawmakers in hiding? | The YNaija Effectiveness Ranking for Senators

Well, our Senators have largely been silent, haven’t they? One might be forgiven for assuming they’d gone on another one of their extended (yet heavily paid) breaks. Perhaps it’s a good thing. Silence and inaction are much more preferable to the head-scratching statements and moves we see from them so often. So, from best to worst,... Read More

Rotimi Amaechi vaults into the top ten, Kemi Adeosun rises again | The YNaija Effectiveness Ranking for Ministers

One of the biggest points of criticism Lai Mohammed has faced in recent times has been his handling of President Buhari’s absence, and the clear absence of any consistent communication strategy regarding the issue.

Film Review: Deep Fever is as bad as its title suggests

by Wilfred Okiche Never judge a film by its title. Or its trailer. Or its producers for that matter. All of these parameters could genuinely suck and the film could still end up blowing everything else out of the water. Deep Fever is as banal a title as one would expect for a film. Doesn’t...

Brave Women: Iheoma Obibi is leading a bedroom revolution in Nigeria

by Festus Iyorah Discussing related to sex is considered little more than taboo in Nigeria. It’s fine to talk about them behind closed doors, but be careful to make no attempt to complain about not getting sexual gratification, for you might crucified.  Consequently, many women live the best part of their lives not being satisfied sexually.  They complain silently that the...

YNaija Says: The Rann bombing victims deserve a lot better than N10,000 compensation

Debie-Rise should also have been disqualified from #BBNaija for sexual harassment, and here’s why (WATCH)

We understand that our society views these things through skewed lenses but it is incredibly pertinent to point out that sexual harassment is not a gender-specific thing. Men can be abused, assaulted, harassed and/or exploited just as women can. And kissing a man in his sleep, after he’s spent hours rejecting your advances, is inappropriate... Read More
