by Jaye Gaskia Here lies the bane of our problem, the continued pretence in high places that the situation will blow over of its own accord; combined with a mindset that accepts mass murder and routine massacres of even children, as appropriate collateral damage not only by perpetrators of violence, but also by the state...

by Sam Nda-Isaiah But if Jonathan wants to claim credit for the new GDP figure, we will be happy to listen to him as he tells us how he contributed to the increase from 300,000 phone lines to 120 million phone lines. We will be glad to know how he contributed to making Nollywood the... Read More

by Demola Rewaju We men like our independence and when you choke a man and he seems to succumb, he’s only pretending. He’ll find a way to get around your high prison walls without offending you. This he’ll do by lying to you about his whereabouts. 1. You Remember Every Female Name He Mentions and... Read More

by Michael Orodare In 2015, just as INEC has started reciting it that election might not hold in some Northern states due to INSECURITY by the Boko Haram insurgency, the question is, if the cancellation of election in 1 out of 22 wards led to the declaration of such election ‘inconclusive’, then if the 2015...

by Tunde Leye There are thousands of Nigerians languishing in illegal detention, some tortured, and some killed. One wonders if the Boko Haram members that are freed in the numerous jailbreaks reported by the media were detained under the ambits of the law. Law enforcement must never be done outside the confines of the law,... Read More

by Marcel Ojinaka This is one important lesson we must not fail to take away from the Sanusi debacle seeing how his saga has become another episode in the countless Nigerian dramas.

by Cheta Nwanze Before we go on, we must set the records straight: Slavery, was not an invention of the West. It predates all written records. On the African continent itself, slavery predated the arrival of Europeans by centuries, and it sill continues until this day. However, until first, the Trans-Saharan slave trade, then the...

by Jonah Ayodele Obajeun Some of the DSS officers tagged one of us as a terrorist when he refused to reveal his passwords. This was Chinasa Ikelu, who was obviously angry that the daughter of the former governor denied being part of the protest just few minutes after she finished filming where she said... Read More
by Reno Omokri The thing that they fail to understand is that any Nigerian who discredits the rebasing of Nigeria’s economy is discrediting himself. It was Nigeria’s value that was rebased not the government’s value. The attempts by some individuals to deemphasize the recent rebasing of the Nigerian economy as something that should not be...

by Adeolu Ademoyo That ministers such as Abba Moro and Diezani Alison-Madueke are still in office after scandalous tenures in office says a lot about the gracelessness that defines public office and service in Nigeria. Ms. Kathleen Sebelius was the former American secretary of Health and Human services while Mr. Abba Moro is Nigerian interior... Read More

by Femi Fani-Kayode He allows negative things to happen to us and to our nation only because He has given us the power to deal with them ourselves and the grace to come through them and have a great testimony at the end of it all. Today I shall go down memory lane. Life can... Read More
by Charles Novia Let me shock you guys a bit. The biggest critics of President Jonathan, the opposition parties or cliques, the rabble-rousers and all were mostly there at the wedding! I was shocked! Ehn! Politicians! That’s how they deceive you all by crying wolf and abusing the President yet they run to him... Read More
by Sonala Olumhense I have no doubt that the Jonathan government is more committed to the electricity question than his predecessors since 1999. Last June at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, the Nigerian government launched its Presidential Mid-term Report to celebrate its achievements since 2011. The report opened with a review of the power... Read More

by Simon Kolawole Good news. Nigeria now houses the largest economy in Africa. We achieved this by simple arithmetic we changed the base year of measuring our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from 1990 to 2010. That means we have included new sectors that were previously not captured in the calculations. Trust me, a lot has... Read More
by Femi Aribisala Don’t be deceived: money is never the true cost of a thing. Money is not a currency of the kingdom of God. The kingdom currency is righteousness. The cost of your car is not how much money you paid for it. The cost is how much righteousness you had to forsake in... Read More
by Tunde Fagbenle It is complete disrespect under the part of those who govern us. They act as if they owe us no explanation and no apologies for not providing us electricity as we should have. It is complete disrespect to us that those who govern us to make promises upon promises, raise our hopes... Read More
by Perry Brimah When helicopters are not bought for the police force: the consequence is death. 250 people like you and I died in Zamfara state. There was no helicopter to pursue the killers. There has been no police helicopter to pursue this same set of killers after each killing they ‘enjoyed’ for the... Read More
by Tomiwa Ilori What Fani-Kayode speaks is not the truth, they are interests masquerading as principles. While at it, what actually gives him the conclusive impression that APC is fielding a Muslim/Muslim ticket? It is still raining, how do you know it will not be up to yesterday’s? There have been agitations over the forth-coming... Read More
by Dele Momodu Those who genuinely love APC must speak up now. Many people are not speaking out for fear of ex-communication but we know the views mostly expressed in private. APC will fail if the people cannot see any serious difference between its operatives and the people they wish to replace. In this... Read More

by Chidi Onumah I don’t know what goes on in the minds of the likes of Bugaje, Mohammed and their fellow travellers in the NEF and ACF when they have to refer to themselves as Nigerians or when they see Nigerians who are not from the “North”. They approbate and reprobate at the same time.... Read More
by Akin Osuntokun It is provocative and fraught with the danger of lending its platform, wittingly or not, to sectarian bigotry, chauvinism and conflagration. One of the novelties of the 2011 presidential election was the choice of Pastor Tunde Bakare as running mate to General Mohammadu Buhari on the presidential ticket of the Congress for... Read More
by Dele Agekameh Sometimes, when the various governments – federal, states or local governments – talk about creating jobs, I wonder about the magic wand they intend to employ to create these jobs when, in actual fact, what is on ground does not show any genuine commitment to either grow or support entrepreneurship in the...
