So THE cold, hard reality of Nigeria’s current security status can no longer be masked by the choreographed grief of State House press releases. The brutal killing of Brigadier-General Oseni Omoh Braimah in Benisheikh, coming on the heels of the loss of General Nba Sani and the staggering toll of over 1,000 military personnel slaughtered […]

Let us stop pretending. Nigeria’s economic crisis is no longer about policy mistakes or reform pains. It is about official dishonesty — the deliberate promotion of a success story that millions of starving citizens know to be false. This government is not merely out of touch. It is talking down to a suffering population. *THE […]

Nigeria is a country where “the struggle”, the altruistic, strategic, and organised agitation for an egalitarian society has no retirement age. Those who laboured to awaken our collective conscience should, by now, have withdrawn with the dignity of fulfilled duty. In a just society, they would have retired not into silence, but into peace because […]

2025 will be remembered as the year the unthinkable happened: the total political decimation of Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike, a man who once strutted across Nigeria’s political landscape with unrestrained confidence and an aura of invincibility. For over a decade, Wike built a reputation as the man who could command Rivers State, intimidate adversaries, and bend […]

When the full story of the killings in Nigeria is eventually told, civilian and military alike, the country will discover that it has been wobbling on the edge of disintegration for years. Anyone paying attention can see the pattern: coordinated violence, geographical spread, identical tactics, and a quiet but steady push toward making ungoverned spaces […]

Only in a country where morality has died can a sitting president deploy the full machinery of state to beg for a man convicted of organ trafficking. Just imagine a “high-level delegation” sent to London, not to attract investors, not to discuss security cooperation, not to repatriate stolen assets, not to negotiate technology transfer but […]

Forget IBB, the so-called evil genius. He should wear shorts, grab a backpack, and enroll in Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s coven. Because in the grand chessboard of Nigerian politics, Tinubu isn’t just a player, nor even a puppeteer. He’s the board, the pieces, and the rulebook. His moves are ruthless. Surgical. Cold-blooded. Democracy is presumed to […]

What is happening at the Dangote Refinery is beyond the ordinary, it is beyond unionism as pointed out. First it was NNPC, then NLC, followed by NUPENG and now PENGASSAN. At last, we are getting closer to unveiling the real masquerade. NNPC fought this enterprise tooth and nail over pricing, currency of crude purchase, distribution, […]
