Our president is losing focus – and more, in today’s news roundup with Cheta Nwanze

by Cheta Nwanze To be fair to Uncle Nyesom, members of his real constituency have been active elsewhere, so maybe, just maybe, that was what was uppermost in his mind, and not the mundane issue of books. Then again, there was this rather pressing issue of N24.3 billions to be ogled at, so hey, important security meetings could... Read More

Moving on – and more, in today’s news roundup with Cheta Nwanze

by Cheta Nwanze Truth is that no amount of crocodile tears can change the facts. The fact is that we, the people of Nigeria, are guilty of making a lot of noise, and then taking our eyes of off the ball. We, the people of Nigeria, are being told in almost crystal clear terms that... Read More

Now that we know our lawmakers cannot read – and more, in today’s news roundup with Cheta Nwanze

by Cheta Nwanze ….Ayo Akinyelure claimed that he cast the vote in error. “I pressed the ‘No’ button during the electronic voting session thinking that I was kicking against the early marriage,” he sniffled in between some hot crocodile tears. Yesterday, a sitting gavel of the Federal Republic of Nigeria proved something I have expressed my... Read More

Gov. Dickson sure has a thing for under-age girls too – and more, in today’s news roundup with Cheta Nwanze

by Cheta Nwanze ….Bayelsa etibo, Dickson, shows it is not only Yerima that has a thing for under-age girls as he appoints an 18 year old SA (has she even started university?), who’s only qualification is that she looks good in a bikini. To be honest, I don’t mind the occasional “spam” message. Heck, I’m as... Read More

Nigerian lawmakers and the age of consent – and more, in today’s news roundup with Cheta Nwanze

by Cheta Nwanze ….in the last few days, we have had our Senate more or less tell us that the moment a 9 year old girl gets married, she becomes an adult. The implication of this obviously, is that being an adult, she can vote, and be voted for.  “May you live in interesting times.” – ancient... Read More

Patience Jonathan’s claim to authority – and more, in today’s news roundup with Cheta Nwanze

by Cheta Nwanze  Maybe it’s just me, but methinks that the unnamed elders in this report should bring their ‘elderly’ influence to bear. First Ladies (or First Gentlemen, think Prince Philip), are meant to be seen and not heard. This morning, on my way to work, I was almost involved in a motor accident. Some silly danfo overtook on my... Read More

When will the NFA stop barking and start biting? – and more, in today’s news roundup with Cheta Nwanze

by Cheta Nwanze Apparently, Edo state has the lowest rate of teenage pregnancy in Nigeria. Katsina has the highest. I would blame lack of awareness of the benefits of Postinor in the latter. Like most events/bodies in Nigeria, No Future Ambition’s bark is far worse than its bite. This is probably what informed the decision of... Read More
