“Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns. These things and deeds are diametrically opposed: they are as distinct as is vice from […]

On 20 September 2015 coordinated bomb attacks in the satellite towns of Nyanya and Kuje, near Abuja, claimed about 20 lives while over 40 others sustained various degrees of injuries. At about the same time another set of coordinated blasts rocked the town of Maiduguri, claiming about 80 lives with several others seriously injured. Just […]

President Muhammadu Buhari and All Progressives Congress’ (APC) dream of youth empowerment may turn out to be a mirage, unless they turn around the sports industry which has the potential to engage millions of Nigerians. The first step will be appointing a Sports Minister who understands the industry and has genuine intentions of stopping the […]

I support the call by Afenifere that all Fulani herdsmen should be banned from the south-west. Actually I believe that they should be banned from the entire south and not just the south west. I also stand by every word that I wrote in my widely published essay titled ”The Herdsmen From Hell”. This contribution […]

October 1st is a day for joy and celebrations for us Nigerians whatever the circumstances we find ourselves in because it is the day, 55 years ago; we liberated ourselves from the shackles of colonialism and began our long march to nationhood and to greatness.

If President Buhari made a false start by not declaring his […]

The inspiration for this reflection is the arrest and detention of two Nigerian bloggers – Seun Oloketuyi and Chris Nwandu – who respectively run the blogs Naijahottestgist and CKN. According to reports Oloketuyi wrote in his blog that Nnamdi Okonkwo, the CEO of Fidelity Bank, had an extramarital affair with a married woman working in […]

There’s always hope to combat any challenge, but can anyone bring life to a (natural) stone or a brick? The word change that has become a household name in Nigeria is grossly misunderstood by the country’s patriots because many of them think as long as any new face is in town the job is done. […]

If we seek to build a better union, if we truly intend to enthrone meritocracy over mediocrity in Nigeria, the majority of people from the numerous ethnic and religious groupings that together make up Nigeria must make conscious efforts to grow into Nigerians. That means the Tivs, Igbos, Nupes, Yorubas, Ijaws, Hausas, Idomas, Fulanis, Ibiroms, […]

It seems President Muhammadu Buhari is hell-bent on wrestling Nigeria from her enemies for the sake of the common man or simply said for the good of the majority.
