The Media Blog: Did Reuben Abati look at his own life before he wrote this?

After reading the interview granted by First Lady Aisha Buhari on BBC Hausa Service, I was tempted to conclude that this is what may have happened.

Reno Omokri: The many lies in John Paden’s book on Buhari

by Reno Omokri The book ‘Muhammadu Buhari- The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria’ by Professor John Paden is not only an intellectually lazy work, it is also a fallacious document hastily put together to paint the protagonist in the borrowed garb of an effective leader who is cleaning the Augean Stable of misrule and corruption...

Jude Ndukwe: Rotimi Fashakin is still that same old brainless ignoramus

by Jude Ndukwe The recent vituperations of Rotimi Fashakin against Chief Femi Fani-Kayode which in his (Fashakin) usual manner is nothing but a product of masturbatory ejaculation emanating from his frustration of an unfulfilled desire and life-long fantasy of being in Buhari’s government but was understably ignored by the president. With such scurrilous write ups... Read More

The Media Blog: Please, who knows why Google is spending money on TV ads in Nigeria?

At first, we actually disbelieved what our eyes saw. That usually happens when we see social networks – the very epicenter of online – advertising on traditional media, even though that clearly happens a lot (Snapchat to Google) on the streets of random American cities, especially with outdoor.
