Opinion: Of impossibilities and the Trump victory

by Ololade Ajekigbe Proclaiming it as the latest wonder of world wouldn’t be too far-fetched.

by Reuben Abati I do not share the view of those who assume that by some kind of miracle, in the shape of electoral-college defections, Hillary Clinton would still, on the strength of winning the popular vote, supplant Donald Trump as US 2016 President-elect.

by Simon Kolawole And so, the world’s most powerful country will have President Donald Trump at the helm from January 20, 2017. Incredible.

by Peregrino Brimah The truth is, Wole Soyinka was no different and actually quite worse than T. B.

Farooq Kperogi: Making sense of Trump’s victory for Nigerians

Several of my Nigerian readers have asked me to help them make sense of Donald Trump’s unsettling electoral triumph over Hillary Clinton.
