Pius Adesanmi: President Buhari and personality cultists

by Pius Adesanmi That is how they will not let you enjoy TGIF even when you have decided to stay on your own lane jejely. He comes inbox to disagree with my take in “The Tyranny of Consensus”. “Awon alajekun iya omo Buhari tun de o”, I say to myself. Anyway, let’s engage the citizen... Read More

The Thread: All the reasons Goodluck Ebele Jonathan qualifies as “Hero”

There’s a clear political divide between the foremost political parties in Nigeria -APC and PDP. The GEJites (mostly PDP members) claim Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as their “hero”, while the Buharists (wholly APC members) call Buhari the “Messiah”. There’s always a comparison between the two presidents and in most conversations, GEJ usually gets the short end... Read More

Moses Ochonu: My favourite Buharist

by Moses Ochonu My favourite Buharist is Maiwada Sanusi. We’ve never met in person but I like him. He sends me occasional private messages on Facebook extolling Buhari and declaring his undying adulation for the president. He tells me to temper my “Buhari bashing,” as he calls it, with an acknowledgement of what he argues... Read More

Moses Ochonu: Why can’t we acknowledge the truth of Buhari’s incompetence?

Opinion: Jonathanians or Buharists – Who are the real bigots?

An African proverb says “When you see the clouds gathering, prepare to catch in water”. Unfortunately, we have rather chosen the paths of bigotry in this election... Read More

Opinion: Jonathanians and Buharists – Let us compare

by Oyede Saheed The president must be duly acknowledged as a man that has the ability to tolerate the opposition to a fault but my fear is that if he eventually wins his re-election, will he still be this tolerant of the opposition? One thing for sure, former President Obasanjo couldn’t have been this tolerant.... Read More

Femi Fani-Kayode: Here are some hard questions for the Buharists

by Femi Fani-Kayode That is the APC for you. With them you will never see what you will get until it is too late. They are very good at using religion to achieve their objectives and at playing double games. And of course propaganda and the manipulation of the mass media is their forte. This... Read More
