Buhari went to Turkey for the D-8 meeting. Currently, countries that make up D-8 are Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey. Do you get the drift yet? Nigeria named amongst hardcore Islamic nations! And if you think this is some kind of regular, harmless bilateral or diplomatic relations, read below the history […]

There comes a time in someone’s life when certain decisions (even very painful and non-palatable ones) are made after intensive sober reflection, self assessment and re-evaluation. This could be spontaneous or brought about by certain circumstances that might be planned or coincidental. But whatever the case, like in a situation where a man being not […]

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has called on the Federal Government to declare an emergency on the roads in the South -East and South- South regions of the country . MASSOB said rather than make empty promises on the construction of a second Niger Bridge , the Federal Government […]

The total debt profile of Nigeria currently stands at over $64billion/N19.6trillion. Kindly note that the total debt profile of Nigeria at all levels grew by over N7.16trillion/$23billion over the last two years, with the external debt profile inching up from $9billion in 2015 to $15billion as at June 30, 2017.

The National Assembly on Tuesday, granted full financial and administrative autonomy to all the 774 local council authorities across Nigeria by amending section 124 of the nation’s constitution. The section provides a consequential provision for the making of the local councils, a full third tier government without undue interference from the state governments. The ammendment […]

When I wrote Visit the Mortuary in the Sunday Times early in 1974, the motive was to draw attention to the emerging decay in our national ethos brought about by the emergency millionaires created by the Civil War, the Udoji bonanza, and the untouchables in the Gowon administration. It was the era of lavish parties […]

The State House Medical Centre (SHMC) is the “specialist” hospital located inside the Presidency. Its primary function is to provide “world-class” medical care to the families of the President, Vice President, senior Government officials and staff working at the Presidency. This facility may also be used to serve foreign heads of state and dignitaries in […]

Those who believe everything is a scam: A lot of Nigerians are still of the notion that anyone who says he makes money online is a yahoo boy. This has made a lot of people discredit so many opportunities before even hearing what it is about. But let’s analyze it. If there is a fake […]

Between Yorubaland and the Hausa/Fulaniland, there are 14 Area Commands of the Customs. The Yorubaland alone has 11 Area Commands whilst Hausa/Fulaniland has only 3 Area Commands. The Yorubaland Area Commands of the Customs: 1. Apapa Customs Command; 2. Tin-Can Island Customs Command; 3. Lagos Airport Customs Command; 4. Kirikiri Lighter Terminal Customs Command; 5. […]

The “Restructuring” being forced upon a very reluctant North is totally different from the dummy the North is willing to accept, on terms to be dictated by the North. However, there will be no letting by the forces that have the Caliphate’s Sole Title Deed over Nigeria – 1999 Constitution in a “pinfall”and “chokehold,” until […]

The World Bank has said Nigeria may be heading for serious financial crisis following the decision of the government to seek for more loans to fund critical infrastructure. It would be recalled that the Minister had on Sunday at a press briefing to end the World Bank/International Monetary Fund annual meeting in Washington DC, United […]

The greatest crime that man has inflicted on his fellow man in the last 50 years is the evil concept of unrestrained globalisation coupled with the incremental evolution, unacceptable espousal and wholehearted acceptance of the artificial, man-made, mongrel nation-state which is made up of ethnic and religious incompatibles. Yet thankfully there has been a backlash. […]

It is sad and shocking that what is called “Nigerian Army” today and its mother “security and defense” establishments are nothing but “resurrected Glover Hausas” of the 19th Century. Recall that in 1863, British Lt Glover of the Royal Navy selected 18 indigenes from the Northern part of the country and organized them into a […]

Over the weekend, the news was all over the place that the Alafin of Oyo, arguably the highest traditional institution in Yorubaland, has bestowed on Gani Adams the title of Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland (the war Lord or field marshal of Yorubaland). The last person that held that position was late Chief Moshood Kashimawo […]

Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday withdrew from a suit on the leadership tussle in the Ogun Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

There are these consistent fallacies that have been perpetuated over the years. Let me address some of them from my personal point of view. Ndiigbo need Nigeria because we are mercantile people. False. Ndiigbo have done well all over the West African coast and now moving into the rest of Africa. Princeton Lyman the former […]

Benin is the name of the capital, Kingdom and Empire that proceeded forth. I shall later sit down to put my thoughts together but in a nutshell, the following are evident – : There is a difference between Benin Kingdom and Benin Empire. That Igbo provinces constituted part of the Benin Kingdom and of course […]

I think until we truly get interested in politics to the point of being part of the *selection process*, we may likely remain in this situation of having bad leadership in the South East in the foreseeable future. I have read and heard many blame the masses for the election of bad leaders for the […]

Some of us clearly understand where the imaginary line of our true leaders is drawn. We can easily separate good things from the junks. As it is wisely said;By their fruits we shall know them. Thanks for the opportunity presented by President Buhari finally having a shot at the leadership of this country after four […]

If there is any assumption Nigerians made in the run up to the 2015 general elections, it is that given his experience and the long years spent seeking for the office, General Buhari is uniquely placed to run, perhaps, the most competent, organised and corrupt-free administration in Nigeria’s history. However, since ascending to the presidency, […]

Those who know me in this state and beyond are fully aware that I write for nobody as I have criticized almost all political leaders based on the facts available to me. I am the moral mind of journalism and I want my children to grow up tomorrow and be proud of their father’s very […]

This one is not hear-say. This is from the horse’s mouth. President Muhammadu Buhari specifically asked the World Bank to focus all their developmental activities in the North. Let me quote the World Bank boss in his exact words: “You know in my very first meeting with President Buhari, he said specifically that he would […]

The attention of the State Government has been drawn to an on going medical outreach being undertaken by the Army in Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area. The State has been made to understand that the exercise is part of Army social responsibility to members of the public. However, strong apprehension among the populace has followed […]

Those who deploy soldiers to civilian spaces except in war time or rare cases where civil authorities are over-stretched, are nothing short of murderers because soldiers basically understand just two clauses: Open Fire And, Cease Fire. Anyone sending soldiers to administer any form of vaccines or whatever medical aide to school kids without sensitizing the […]

For Nigeria as a country, the clause “Independence Day Celebration” is an oxymoronic expression because the truth is, Nigeria IS NOT independent in any way. Not politically, not economically, not even spiritually and certainly not physically. Where is the independence?? Colonialism, which is an euphemism for slavery, never really ended in Nigeria. It only got […]

Concerned Northern Youth, a group of Northern Youths, have warned Politicians and leaders from the North to stay away from the agitation to restructure Nigeria. The group vowed to make anyone from the North who supports restructuring “pay with his/her life”, according to a statement signed by Usman Tijani for the group. Only recently, the […]

For the nearly two and half years of being in office, President Buhari’s leadership has been considerably fledging. The president is been continuously challenged from all directions, by even members of his governing party and cabinet. Over this period, his popularity has visibly ebbed and waned; and public support for his government has correspondingly crumbled […]

The biggest lie we’ve told ourselves as a people is that colonialism ended in Nigeria in 1960. Nothing can be further from the truth than this. Colonialism never ended as far as this country is concerned. It only got repackaged in a coded but deadlier form and the baton passed from external colonial masters to […]

President Muhammadu Buhari is not innocent as people make him. They say he may not be as corrupt and flamboyant as the other presidents but he never spent many years in power as the others until now and we are beginning to see it as it is now that he has spent more than two […]

“Every reasonable person watching affairs in Nigeria, would likely conclude that the greatest issue in Igboland today, is neither the much-advertised Second Niger Bridge nor the nightmare people go through to access federal roads in the area, because of their impassable nature. Certainly, these are huge problems that raise concerns of monumental proportion. But they […]

Corruption has given birth to quadruplets or quadrupled in Nigeria since the inception of the Buhari/Osinbajo Administration in late May 2015. It has also made the Buhari/Osinbajo Administration a meddlesome interloper in matters of the fight against corruption in the country. In other words, the central Administration is an imposter in the anti corruption crusade […]

Western Nigeria obtained independence from the British in 1957. Similarly, Eastern Nigeria obtained independence in 1957. While Northern Nigeria obtained independence in 1959. It was the Federal government that obtained independence in 1960. Those three regions operated like three different countries at the time – each with its own Constitution, foreign embassies, etc. It was […]

It is very unfortunate that the Public Affairs Division led by Mr. Ndu Ughamadu the Group General Manager would take up time to portray loyalty to his boss to protect his job but ended up communicating absolute rubbish in the public space. In his write-up, he wrote that the law and the rules do not […]

The truth is: Unless Nigeria is redefined to become “Our Project” instead of the Criminal Enterprise it had been from 1914 when the British cobbled it together for their own Commercial Interests, to when in 1960, their Local Agents, the Fulani were coronated to run it as a British/Caliphate Joint Venture, to now, when subsidiaries […]

A former Head of State, now President once said that “An Attack on Boko Haram was a war against the North”. And here was a Boko Haram that did not just make threats, but took to the guns, IPDs, APGs AAGs, rocket missiles, shot down our Jet Fighters, raised flags and even killed the civilian […]

On October 1, 2017, a very brief post lightly circulated on Facebook. I didn’t really take it seriously even though I made some comprehensive comments under some two different names that carried it. However, as days went by, I kept seeing the post re-circulated and shared to the extent of meeting it again in a […]

The entire national day broadcast by PMB on the occasion of Nigeria’s 57th independence is quite disappointing in all ramifications.It was very unpresidential and unreconciliatoty.
