[The Legislative Blog]: So, who’s next in line for this presidential phone call?

We’ve been watching with passive amusement as some of the top government officials fall over themselves to inform us of their phone conversations with President Buhari, all so we can quit the idle talk about his death and health. Since this is already looking an unfolding drama, we won’t hesitate to help write the rest... Read More

We have your receipts: Didn’t the Presidency assure us this was just a vacation?

It’s been a very confusing 10 days for the whole of the world apparently. While Americans are dealing with a Trump who desperately needs to prove a point, here in Nigeria we are dealing with a President desperate not to prove any. Meanwhile, his army of media assistants have been desperately trying to quell “rumours”... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] Have you started considering your post-Buhari options yet?

Disclaimer: This is no wicked, callous, hateful or unkind post intended to “kill” our President. Wait, why do we have to explain this again? Anyway, if you are one of the people that experienced the painful ordeal that shrouding the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua’s sickness in secrecy visited upon Nigerians (or those who have read...

[The Legislative Blog]: The day power failed the powerful

Some news sites had the prefix “Breaking”, others had “Just In” while a few others just simply reported it without drama. What’s the news here though? There was power failure at Room 324 in the Senate Building while ambassadorial nominees were being screened by the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs. It was reported that they... Read More

The Media Blog: We’re already laughing at this “The Republic” TV show

Nicole Amarteifio made a name for herself, and a successful TV show, by ripping off Sex and The City. But, An African City worked because while she blatantly copied the format of the legendary HBO show, she was able to, within that framework, tell stories specific to Ghanaian women. Well, some of them anyway. And... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] Who else has noticed the weirdness on Minister Fashola’s Twitter?

We do not mean to add any more than bad roads, housing deficits, darkness, and allegations of corruption to former governor Fashola’s plate right now but if he hasn’t, he may have to check in with his Japanese friends about what’s been happening on his Twitter account. There have been random incidents of Japanese tweets... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] This Nigerian has proof the Presidency lied about the photos they posted

There’s a storm gathering at the doorsteps of the Presidency – the President, his media team and the wife of the President. The Governor of Ogun State and Daisy Danjuma may also be complicit. Funny, those pictures of him and his wife in London were actually taken in 2015, and it's strange that his spin... Read More

[The Legislative Blog]: Has Senator Murray-Bruce seen his Twitter timeline recently?

We’re completely appalled by how low Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has gone with his Twitter account. When did it become okay for a sitting Senator of the Federal Republic to associate himself with useless Twitter banter? We didn’t have reason to be worried when he took to promoting the ideals of former president Goodluck Jonathan and... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] No lie, this Minister of information is just tired of all these

At this point, this is just unfair. The burden of defending his government may have started kicking in. He’s had to deal with silly Nigerians wishing their president dead all week (make that two) and now somebody named Tuface is trying to conduct “a shake-down” at whose cost? If this tweet we just read doesn’t... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] Is Minister Lai our Kellyanne Conway?

Honestly, at this point, we cannot help but ask. Just last week, Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, decided to take out the frustrations that the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, has been feeling over the wrongly-timed vacation of his boss on the whole of Nigeria. He went from being gobsmacked at our ability to... Read More

The Media Blog: We just watched episode 2 of Our Best Friend’s Wedding

So Red TV has released the second episode of their new webseries Our Best Friend’s Wedding. While this episode looks just as good as the first, it doesn’t do much to advance the plot, working more to flesh out character. We find out Jade, (played by Oreka Godis) works from home (or is jobless, if her... Read More

Clearly not content with the runaway success of Jenifa’s Diary, Funke Akindele’s somehow found the time to work on another TV show. It’s called “Industreet” and you can check out the trailer below. So, yeah. Besides that title, “Industreet”, the trailer already raises red flags with us. We get that OAPs segueing into acting is... Read More

Or at least they were originally meant to be TV movies, but he’s secured permission to take them to cinemas as well as release them on DVD.

“If the House of Representatives signs the current National Roads Fund bill into law, Nigerians may pay additional N5 for petroleum products“. This is conditional, we know but we won’t let it go by assuming this ridiculous bill will not be passed into law. The National Roads Fund bill provides a Roads Fund that is a... Read More
