[The Presidential Blog] This media assistant to Buhari must have been taking a lot of Twitter lessons from Trump

Just last week, the President’s personal assistant on social media came to our attention. Of course, it’s not that we hadn’t known her before then. No, we knew when she was appointed last year as yet another media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari. We refrained from joining the bandwagon of “wailers” because, truly, this President can...

Movie review: Three Wise Men is a hot, cluttered mess

by Wilfred Okiche The trailer seemed tacky. The premise, instantly unoriginal, and laughably desperate, spoke of one of the oldest tricks in comedy. Three pathetic old geezers, robbed of their hunger for the good time by the sobering realities of real life, embarking on one last hurrah. Mr Ibu would be gold in this. Perhaps... Read More

This happened last month, but it bears thinking through.
