At the first day of the 2-day National #CorruptionDialogue organised by the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption in Abuja, the Presidency bragged about the 11 things the President has achieved so far as regards transparency and anti-corruption during his 22 months in office.

[The Presidential Blog] Let’s just admit it, Aisha Buhari is a star!

The other day, we said we were sceptical of what the wife of the President’s game plan was with the Aisha Buhari Foundation after she opened a school and orphanage in Borno State.

[The Presidential Blog] Did anyone at the Presidency really know about Buhari’s latest phone call?

A statement from the Royal office in Morroco says King Mohammed VI held a phone call with President Buhari yesterday where he inquired about his health status and commented on his noteworthy improvement.

[The Legislative Blog]: Hon Dogara spoke at the Wives of Reps members retreat and these responses sum up our thoughts

After our rant earlier today, the House of Reps Members Wives Association retreat held in Abuja as scheduled. It’s not like we had a way of stopping it or anything but still, we hoped someone would come to their senses and just cancel the waste of a gathering. Anyway, it held and today’s special guest...

We’ve come to the realisation that there is plenty of nonsense going on at the top of the political ladder in Nigeria and we can’t quite exhaust them if we had to make a list.

[The Presidential Blog] What to think about Aisha Buhari’s new foundation?

From the start when she asked that we refrain from calling her the annoying but customary “First Lady” while embracing the “Her Excellency” prefix before her name, we knew we were in four a tenure with a strange wife of an enigma of a President.

The Media Blog: A webseries in French? Red TV continues to intrigue us

It’s called Boutique Hotel, and appears to have been made in Côte d’Ivoire. It stars Ivorians, and it’s entirely in French. It’s subtitled in English, of course, but that’s beside the point. It’s not what we expected from Red TV (or any Nigerian content platform, really) to be honest. But maybe that’s the point. Maybe... Read More
