by Duro Onabule Addressing members of Nigerian Bar Association, Speaker Tambuwal was loudly cheered because he was at home among hypocrites. Tambuwal himself emerged a reward for failing to hit home. How far is it true that corruption is unabated only because committees are set up to probe allegations? Are the probe committees responsible for... Read More

Duro Onabule: Even the Aburi accord should be on the table

by Duro Onabule Otherwise, we return to the Aburi Agreement under which possible misuse of para-military forces by the federal government, especially in self-determined but self-serving emergency situations, could be vetoed by the (then) regional governor, i.e. today’s state or zonal state governors. The significance of the move by Jonathan is that he said anything... Read More

by Olusegun Adeniyi Nigerians need not look too far for the real culprits in the saga of election manipulations in our country: The faces of the bad losers in the NGF election seem very much familiar.
