Opinion: What if the elections had held in February?

by Ralph Egbu …we have closed our senses to doing the small things that matter and that omission has led to huge dislo­cations that are manifesting in the rule of the jungle. Last week in the piece, Je­ga’s troublesome dilemma, I expressed deep displeas­ure over the manner INEC han­dled the issue of printing and distribution... Read More

Abdulrahman Leme: The Igbos have no business supporting the PDP – here’s why

by Abdulrahman Leme Like all elections in the past, the major determinant of the election outcome is not necessarily the interest of the Nigerian populace, but the interest of some vested interest from different quarters across the geo-political zones. It is the month of March already and all eyes are on Nigeria for an unprecedented,... Read More

Opinion: The negative propaganda of APC will eventually backfire

by Erahodu Oseghale  Given the extent of sentimental spin and antagonistic mind-set which General Buhari and his APC promoters have embedded into their presidential campaigns it is beyond contention that they will not hesitate to reverse all the progress we have made as a nation under the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency. There are many reasons why... Read More

Opinion: Can hate speeches really win elections?

by Victor Emejuiwe The body language of our leaders shows they are enjoying all the hate propaganda against their opponent. They have succeeded in breeding up followers with malicious mannerism which is very unhealthy for the younger generation. I can vividly recall Shehu Shagari’s 1980 inauguration speech, which was titled “My Vision for Nigeria.” Part... 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

Opinion: Pres. Jonathan’s campaign and the N80 million mess in Ebonyi

by Eze Onyekpere TAN is in violation of Section 91 (9) of the Electoral Act which states that “No individual or other entity shall donate more than (N1,000,000) to any candidate” Laws are made to guide human conduct.

Femi Aribisala: The end of Buhari’s presidential candidacy

by Femi  Aribisala In an election, which many say will be won or lost by a slim margin, to now disenfranchise 20 million voters through a questionable and unlawful rule by INEC is not acceptable by any measure. If Nigeria is a nation of laws and of the rule of law, the presidential candidacy of... Read More

Opinion: There may be another country if things continue like this

by Nnaemeka Oruh …whoever claims to be fighting for the good of our nation would always stop and ask; “Will the current trend help my nation grow, or will it harm her more?” The tension is palpable. Naked fear walks through the land unchallenged, waylaying people at every turn. While a deadly group of religious... Read More

Opinion: 2015 presents another opportunity for good governance, let’s use it wisely

by Tajudeen Ganikale   In ideal democracy, people vote for a government that has performed significantly well. Citizens do not vote for a candidate because he is a Jew, Muslim or Christian, or he is yoruba man or an ijaw man. We had a golden chance in this country in 2011 to speak through our... Read More

Opinion: Why are Nigerian media professionals so lazy?

by Sochinedum George Conversely, the election season here leaves much to be desired; it is petty, clannish and syrupy. It is a battle of name-callers; a demeaning competition among various categories of self-serving avaricious mediocre politicians in conjunction with their lapdogs and attack dogs who together whittle down an erstwhile serious electoral process to a...

Opinion: What does Mr. President take us for?

by Taiwo Irebami …are these people worthy of the certificate they claim to possess or is it us the citizens that lack the intelligence to understand and think critically. As we approach the elections postponed until March, I have found some conversations, actions and conclusions around the polity interesting and some of them beats my... Read More

Opinion: The role of youth in ensuring credible elections

by Yusuf Goje Our youth must understand the powers embedded in our votes and reject any enticement to sell it or engage in political apathy by not coming out to cast our votes or vote base on cheap sentiments. The run-up to this year’s general election has so far been replete with desperation, inordinate ambitions,... Read More

Opinion: Don’t believe the lies being sold by enemies of transformation

by Olusola Daniel Instead of doing due diligence to base their choices on an informed perspective founded on verifiable facts, most people would rather join the bandwagon of public opinion. As Nigeria prepares to elect her next president by February 14, 2015, the flurry of activities in the nation’s political arena has taken on an... Read More

Analysis: 2015 election – Why the odds favour Buhari

by Eronmonsele Elens-Eigbokhan and Tobi Oluwatola Campaigns are run on resources: money, people, and media. What therefore tends to happen in poor democracies from India to Uganda or Nigeria is a vicious cycle where corrupt politicians capture power, extort resources and use it to overwhelm the opposition in elections. In elections, as in poker, there... Read More
