Do we have a new President or what’s up with this new memo? | The #YNaijaCover

It’s exactly one month today since the index case of the novel Coronavirus(COVID-19) came into the country, signalling what would be the beginning of a tortuous ‘month of breaking news.’ Never in the history of this country (arguably) have Nigerians been on the watch out for a news flash from a body as relegated as...

Chude Jideonwo’s 5 lessons at 35: You don’t need confidence to cross the street

If there was anything I learnt just after I turned 30 in 2015 and then 2016, it was the danger of certainty. In 2015, I often made the common sense statement that no one, no matter how passionately one believed in a person, could predict what they do when elected into office. But even then,... Read More

The Bishop Kukah Controversy – YNaija Cover | 12th February 2020

The last one month appears to have been horrible for citizens in major parts of the North(ern part of Nigeria) with increasing cases of banditry, kidnappings, heinous murder and bombings by Boko Haram terrorists.

It has been 20 years since Nigeria returned to a hard-fought democratic system of government.

Buhari, you may mean well, but time is running out

One flaw that detracts from President Buhari’s strengths is tardiness; especially, his dilatory response to matters of importance. This is where an appreciable weakness of the president lies. And most times, the response or actions that follow the intermissions cannot justify the gnawing wait. For example, why wait until July to reappoint the same aides when... Read More
