by Tunde Leye In the North East, we have lost territory. We cannot keep our citizens’ lives and properties secure there. What is worse, the government announces dubious ceasefires with the insurgents when it is evident to all that they have been dealing with charlatans. One of the worst things that a country can be...

Tunde Leye: We must take the mutineers’ complaints more seriously

by Tunde Leye One only has to look at the sequence of causes in Mali and see the dangerous parallels with the current handling of the grumblings and growling of our gallant military officers fighting Boko Haram. I have said this over and again but repeating it is the best manner one can reiterate the... Read More

Opinion: This boat called Nigeria is sinking!

by Victoria Obazim-Ohaeri This is a very trying period in the country’s history. The Nigerian boat is sinking with unrestrained haste.

Abimbola Adelakun: What does Murtala Nyako really know about Boko Haram?

by Abimbola Adelakun First, how can Nyako be so certain that there is “simply no person in the North-East rich enough to foot the financial and logistic bills of Boko Haram?” Why the haste to look outside the zone? Does Nyako know Boko Haram’s operating cost before ruling out his kinsmen? There are billionaires in... Read More

Opinion: To succeed against Boko Haram, we must plan for a long war (Part 1)

by Muktar Usman-Janguza This emerging stalemate whereby the army and the civilian JTF control the regional capitals while BH dominates the peripheries cannot be allowed to concretise. Because, like a gaping wound left to fester, the northeastern frontiers will become an entry point (if it isn’t already?) for other groups more capable of challenging the... Read More

Opinion: Government’s insensitivity and the need for collective re-strategy in the North-East

by Abubakar Musa we must realize that Mr President (GEJ), who has all the security apparatchiks and buoyant resources under his control, isn’t a southern President but nigeria’s.

Opinion: Why the next president MUST come from the North-east

by Bukar Mustapha Therefore, as the calculations begin for 2015, it is our prevent hope that this time around, the larger North plays the fair card for the North-East in picking a presidential candidate.

Opinion: Nigeria has both the good and bad sides
