BET sends a very confusing birthday message to Olamide… and Nigerians react accordingly

LOL! We do not want to take this too seriously because we believe it is a honest mistake from a half-asleep or maybe even lazy social media guy at the BET Headquarters. Anyway, it’s Olamide Baddo’s birthday today and just as everyone else, Black American cable channel, BET was thoughtful enough to send birthday shouts... Read More

Office Of The Citizen with Chude JIdeonwo: How did Obasanjo allow his legacy get off the rails?

by Chude Jideonwo In the world these days, it is impossible to have a nuanced discussion about too many things. The lure of 140 characters disincentives the complexity that ideas sometimes demand, and until we evolve to that point where we can condense complicated thoughts into this inevitable format, we have to struggle a bit....

What is this petty power tussle between the Senate and the Customs Comptroller?

It’s amazing sometimes how things happen in Nigeria. Actually, “wonderful” is a better way to put it. You’d think that when lawmakers in a country need to perform their oversight functions of calling heads of government agencies to order, they’ll do so in all seriousness. Can anyone even remember the reason the Senate and the... Read More

President Buhari is back and he brought his sluggishness with him

50 days without President Muhammadu Buhari in Nigeria have ostensibly given Nigerians a taste of what a smooth-running, fast-paced and confidence-boosting governance looks like under this new dispensation. For a minute (or more), it felt like we could finally see the “change”. Where it begins is still subject to a raging and often self-serving argument... Read More

Who can the IPOB count on now that France doesn’t “think there is any kind of future for Biafra”?

Nigeria has been mired in unexhausted agitations for secession for years now. It does not matter that the 30 moth-long civil war ended leaving the country intact as a single entity, the echoes of instability still rock the nation leaving Nigeria very vulnerable to escalated levels of these kinds of agitation at any time.

We’re not interested in fighting but it’s commendable of Governor Ambode to call out the Federal Government’s sluggishness with regard to attempts by the Lagos State Government to make certain infrastructural moves. Of course, former Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola has responded to the claims, but he says little (if anything at all) to undercut... Read More
