by Hauwa Gambo His is tainted with malice, with evil, with the basest of human sentiments support of tyrants and dictators, advocacy for wars and genocides, destroyer of marriages and relationships, cauldron of hate and wickedness. Why, in the name of all that is good and decent, do human beings take Femi Fani-Kayode seriously? Why do a succession... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: Why it is (now) difficult to feel sympathy for Suntai (Y! FrontPage)

by Hauwa Gambo No man, or group of people, has the right to punish an entire people simply because he wants to hold on to the trappings of office. We live in a sick nation. One that punishes its own people with the most ham-fisted, hopeless leadership one can find this side of the globe.... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: Tony Elumelu must not give Celestine a penny more (Y! FrontPage)

by Hauwa Gambo Wonders shall never cease o. Apparently, last year, banking guru and venture capitalist, Tony O. Elumelu gave $5,000 as seed-money to various technology start-ups in a partnership with the Co-Creation Hub. One year later, what is the thanks he gets? One of the young people, Celestine Ezeokoye of Tiketmobile, who was so... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: The temptations of Big Brother’s Sister Beverly (Y! FrontPage)

by Hauwa Gambo And wait a bloody minute, Beverly has disgraced Nigeria? The same country whose Senators this week agreed it is perfectly normal for an adult male to have sex with a 5-year-old, as long as she is called his wife? There are a few things that confound one about the world, and here... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: Good riddance to Jon Gambrell (Y! FrontPage)

by Hauwa Gambo Unfortunately, because the AP has earned its credibility over many decades and become so important to us, it was easy to see hubris as courage, and to hold as a gold standard for our journalism a man who would struggle for column space in his own media. On March 21, the rumour mill was on... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: I tire for this our nyama-nyama president (Y! FrontPage)

by Hauwa Gambo We have a president who, in the same year, declared that he is “not a lion” and has no need to be, only for him to turn round and declare that he “does not give a damn”. That statement still rankles me now as it did last year. I find it disrespectful,... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: There was a president, and his name was Olusegun (Y! FrontPage)

by Hauwa Gambo Whatever good this man accumulated in his time in office, he wasted and squandered towards the end of his legitimate term. He became entitled and foolish, a bull in a china shop, suddenly convinced about his own inevitability and immortality, even perfection. By the time he began to dance naked in the... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: Folorunso Alakija – The trials of a Tailor (YNaija FrontPage)

by Hauwa Gambo If you didn’t know about Folorunsho Alakija a week ago, well now you do. Since a new magazine called VENTURES made the best business decision in its short history and declared her the richest black woman in the world (at least $3.3 billion rich) – one who had beaten down the almighty...

Hauwa Gambo: Now that it’s our turn to “participate” in politics (YNaija FrontPage)

Because change doesn’t happen because one set of people is replaced by the next. Change only happens because one set of philosophies is replaced by another. When democracy returned to Nigeria in 1999, a generation was just finding itself. Its evolution stunted because of the endless military occupations of Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha, it...

Hauwa Gambo: The truth about Tunde Bakare (YNaija FrontPage)

Save for fire and brimstone, no one can distil in a nutshell what exactly Tunde Bakare and Buhari were going to do better than Jonathan and Sambo. Let me quickly share one truth: anyone who believes, even for one second, that President Goodluck Jonathan won the 2011 elections because he rigged the polls will never... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: Bola Ahmed Tinubu, you have a message (YNaija FrontPage)

In the South-West which it dominates, the ACN has ambled along with juvenile irredentism (Rauf Aregbesola, Osun) arrogant elitism (Babatunde Fashola, Lagos), oblivious inaction (Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun), wanton profligacy (Abiola Ajimobi, Oyo); redeemed only by flashes of brilliance (Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti). One of the distinct tragedies of our politics is that a succession of leaders... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: What the world desperately needs now (YNaija FrontPage)

It kind of answers the question as to why, these days, leaders continue to chose easy fame over hard-slog decisions. It explains why, from David Cameron to Jacob Zuma, this generation has the misfortune of being led by (wo)men of straw: leaders who lack core, who know not character. If you had been paying attention... Read More

Hauwa Gambo: Of Omojuwa and those like him (YNaija FrontPage)

But, you see, unlike Omojuwa and his passionate young friends, they actually end up doing nothing. It’s all sound and fury, signifying nonsense, masking their own impotence. They are glad to point at his flaws and laugh at his errors, and then sit back, rubbing their bellies. On Sunday, he did it again: channeling... Read More
