by Michael Orodare I like Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and my love for the young Mallam could be traced back to when he held sway as the Chairman of EFCC.

Opinion: Dear Ribadu, leaving APC is not the problem

by Gabriel Femi-Olatunji The same lack of values and ideology is the reason a top civil servant will resume on a Monday morning and ask the accountant to write that the windows of the office were broken (when they are not) and they have all been replaced, just in a bid to loot money.

by Amir Abdulazeez I no longer have any problem whatsoever with defections, re-defections and counter-defections of Nigerian politicians from one political party to another.

Opinion: Ribadu is not a saint, but he is welcome to the PDP

by Raymond Inkabi 53 year old, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu is no saint. But he is one man that has defied the arena, soaked in it’s sands, dared the gods, lost good fights and won good fights.

Femi Aribisala: There is nothing progressive about the APC

by Femi Aribisala Sometimes in Nigeria to be progressive is regarded as meaning to be against corruption. Can the APC be said to be an anti-corruption party? The answer is a capital “No!” APC’s definition of “progressive” is one where it is, to all intents and purposes, a Muslim party. Three well-worn parties in Nigeria,... Read More
