Opinion: The fallacy of ethnic gang up against Pres. Jonathan

by Bemdoo Hulugh In 2011 Presidential election,General Buhari didn’t even come second in the southwest with a yoruba man as his running mate, so why will the yoruba people suddenly decide to vote Buhari because of Pastor Osinbajo? First it was Asari Dokubo who said President Jonathan’s defeat was a ‘gang up’. In his... Read More

by Femi Aribisala Nigerians will soon begin to realise what it means to vote against good luck.

Opinion: What if I told you Buhari’s victory wasn’t won at the polling booths?

by Adekoya Boladale Some may argue that the records of General Buhari and his undoubted anti-corruption stand gave him the edge against the President but these individuals must ask themselves if these records were not in public domain when he contested and lost the election three times? Few years ago, one of my student stood... Read More

Azubuike Ishiekwene: Pres. Jonathan should let his party mourn

by Azubuike Ishiekwene In the last 16 years, we never voted once for PDP expecting to have a government of angels. But even if we had voted for Alibaba and the 40 thieves, they would have shown some compassion in the way we were robbed. The concession speech by President Goodluck Jonathan must be one...

Gimba Kakanda: Our biggest fears as Nigerians head to the polls today

by Gimba Kakanda The elections are already here, and yet again nothing has been done to mitigate our fear of the outcomes. The apparition of the post-election violence, as witnessed four years ago, is here again. Our fears aren’t mitigated and it is not because of the people’s lack of faith in the security agencies now combing major towns and cities across the country in armoured tanks and... Read More

Opinion: Turning point – The rise and rise of General Buhari

by Seun Fakuade The unprecedented rise of Muhammadu Buhari, whose incorruptibility and integrity remains unquestionable, is not only an indictment of the failure of leadership under Goodluck Jonathan but a validation of the visionless leadership that has remained elusive of the present administration. Indeed, the rise of the son of Daura is a reminder of... Read More

Douglas Anele: Dear Buharimaniacs, nothing can change my decision to vote Jonathan as president

by Sabella Abidde President Jonathan did not create many of the problems we now face. But under his watch, things have worsened. In addition, newer problems have germinated.

Simon Utsu: Buhari should take a shameful bow out of politics

Opinion: What do we do now that Nigeria is in recession?

by Bolaji Aregbeshola So far, government’s response to the self-inflicted crisis is, at best, laughable. They blame external shocks as if we did not expect them and say nothing about the terrible policy choices they made. Every Nigerian now has to bear the brunt of a mismanaged economy courtesy of the Jonathan administration. If only... Read More

Femi Aribisala: Why Buhari will not agree to a debate with Jonathan

by Femi Aribisala Change is championed by the young, and not by a 72 year-old retired soldier receiving cheers from a coterie of dyed-in-the-wool political dinosaurs. How can Buhari represent change from the PDP, when a large chunk of his change-sloganising APC members are poached PDP turncoats? In all my years of studying elections, I... Read More

Douglas Anele: The APC cannot deliver meaningful change to Nigerians, I’ll explain…

by Douglas Anele Now, because the full positive impacts of the modest achievements by President Jonathan are yet to be felt nationwide, it appears that the message of “change” from APC is resonating with the masses.

by Tajudeen Ganikale In ideal democracy, people vote for a government that has performed significantly well.

Demola Rewaju: Amanpour’s interview with Buhari was a farce – here’s why

by Demola Rewaju Switching stations swiftly from NTA to CNN was a stark contrast and not only because the NTA visage compared to CNN’s was more like an analogue rendition but also because Buhari seemed like a relic of a lost age compared to Jonathan.
