In 2015, when Buhari came to power, he pledged to revive and intensify the country’s fight against corruption; a social malaise that has shamed and denied Nigeria […]
What manner of special status for Lagos? The argument, to grant or not to grant, could easily have arisen out of avoidable misconceptions.

The annulled June 12, 1993 Presidential election has been repeatedly referred to as a watershed in Nigeria’s history. The reasons for this assertion are not farfetched.

Indeed, Nigeria is passing through a perilous time in her 60 years of existence. Nobody, not even the ‘seers’ that flood the space with prophecies ever imagined the nation will deteriorate to this stage where animals are valued than humans, as animals are killed with good reasons unlike humans nowadays. Only Chinua Achebe foresaw […]
Anyone that loves Nigeria should put the country and her leaders in prayers because the country is sick and the people inside are in serious danger.
