If you happen to have served in government before and you dare to talk now Dr. Reuben Abati already has a blanket you will find comfort in – men and women of yesterday. Nigeria as it is today is a joke! It is a tasteless joke if you really care about the country and a... Read More

A lot of credit must of course go to the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan who moved faster than his usual self to order for the release of funds for the remediation of Bagega.

Japheth Omojuwa: Nigeria’s number one problem remains the same (YNaija FrontPage)

Japheth Omojuwa: Activism 3.0: One part of a dynamic evolving phenomenon (YNaija FrontPage)

Digital Activism must speak a better language than noise, we must speak in terms of policies and alternatives to ideas we do not want.

Japheth Omojuwa: Focusing the sun on our activism (YNaija FrontPage)

I call this the National Distraction Album in Nigeria.

Nothing is to say the coming together of the parties will guarantee them a win against the PDP in 2015 but that is a prerequisite for a chance of that happening.
