Opinion: Dear Nigeria, before you march

by Hemenseter Butu There is nothing quite as potent as being specific. In a world replete with things scrambling for attention, only those who are able to capture ours with spirit within the shortest possible time win. Be it politics, advertising or business development, there isn’t much room for ambiguity to thrive. I remember watching... Read More

Olusegun Adeniyi: Lest Buhari becomes a ‘captive king’

by Olusegun Adeniyi Following the 2015 general election, I decided to write a book, not only to find out why and how President Goodluck Jonathan lost but also to interrogate the recruitment process that keeps producing lacklustre leaders who are neither prepared nor have a clear vision of what they would do in office. In... Read More

Opinion: Interpreting the ‘change’ we voted for

by Abiodun Komolafe The world had barely settled down to the reality of Brexit when Donald Trump trounced Hillary Clinton to clinch victory in an election that would eventually shame the power of opinion polls. Trump purportedly played a fast one on unsuspecting Americans and the world was left to grapple with ‘Trump Trauma’. A... Read More

The Thread: “Blackface should know Tuface is fighting for him; he is fighting for the poor” | Top 10 tweets about Tuface’s protest

Nigeria is in a class of its own. No rival, really. We are so accustomed to hardship, we’ve become longsuffering and if anyone tries to show us the error of that situation, we react negatively. Hardly anything is going right with the country: recession, corruption, – the same song and dance, actually. But how much... Read More

Farooq Kperogi: Presidential lying in defense of corrupt “Executhieves”

by Farooq Kperogi People who have read my column for the last few weeks might be led to suppose that I really do hate President Buhari, that I get kicks from criticizing him, and that I have imposed on myself the task of bringing down his government. Nothing can be further from the truth. I... Read More

Backstory: Minister Fashola is no saint, the corruption scandals trailing his office are proof

Sometime ago, while most got excited over the appointment of former Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola as the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, the PDP tried to convince us that there was nothing special about the man, Fashola. They said he relied heavily on propaganda while he was governor and would fail as minister.... Read More

Simon Kolawole: On the bloodbath in Southern Kaduna

by Simon Kolawole Sigh. Usually, the most tricky topic for me to discuss regarding Nigeria’s nationhood is religion and ethnicity. Difficult to discuss not because I’m afraid of being verbally molested and splashed with mud, but because emotive issues hardly lend themselves to reason. Ethno-religious matters are so emotionally charged that reason is always the... Read More

Opinion: Biafra, El-zakzaky and the re-incarnated dictator, Buhari

by Emmanuel Ugwu History teaches us that dictatorship rarely invades the society like a wild beast. It instructs that tyranny is often a homegrown monster. It’s a tame, overindulged animal that evolves into bestiality. Nigeria is witnessing that ugly metamorphosis in their incumbent president. Muhammadu Buhari is asserting himself, though, as an unreconstructed tyrant. An... Read More

Dele Momodu: Who wants President Buhari dead?

by Dele Momodu Fellow Nigerians, please allow me to say wherever two or more Nigerians are gathered these days the topic of discussion must, naturally, dovetail to our dear President’s state of health and the consequential suggestion that our country is ailing as a result.

The Thread: Are we playing politics with Southern Kaduna?

Twitter saw an uproar yesterday over the credibility or otherwise of Southern Kaduna killings as exposed by Music Chocolate City Group boss, Audu Maikori. In one camp, the school of thought was Audu lied about the origin of the pictures, therefore he lied about all. In the other camp, the prevailing response was they must... Read More

It was for that singular reason most Nigerians voted for him. The Nigerian people, tired of several years of misrule and corruption wanted a change. Buhari was sold to them as that change,...
