On Duncan Mighty Prostrating To Davido
To get a better grasp of the debate, it would be fair to find out who Duncan is. What kind of person is he? Why has he remained relevant for years since his first album? What makes him attract attention despite his distance from the centre of entertainment in Nigeria? Does he know something about human ego and how to attract sympathy and kindness unlike others – talented but stuck?
Omoloye Sowore’s Arc From A Political Rebel To A Politician
My high school classmates asked me to “profile holistically the pedigree of this man Omoloye Sowore” and why Nigerians should stand with him in 2019. Justifiably, like millions of Nigerians, they are skeptical of politicians. Experience has taught Nigerians to see politics as a crooked business. Nigerians fear that Sowore will become as greedy as politicians and should rather stay an activist, “shouting from the outside”. These Nigerians are genuinely worried that the system is so corrupt that Sowore will be changed. They are right, but what if Sowore is different? What if he succeeds?
What Will Buhari Be Remembered For?
God Almighty gave President Buhari, a SECOND CHANCE, but did the man judiciously utilise the life-time opportunity? Answers shall be provided when he leaves the corridors of power.
The Nine Kinds Of People Supporting Buhari For A Second Term
Corruption is fighting back! That is the constant refrain from the people in government and their supporters to criticisms of President Muhammadu Buhari or opposition to his re-election ambition. If, for example, you’re a journalist and you believe the president hasn’t done enough to earn a second term, it is because brown envelopes have been in short or no supply.

All of us who have opted not to say ‘Sai Baba’ ahead of 2019 have one thing in common: Corruption.
Dora Akunyili: The Drug Lioness
It is an understatement to state that Nigerians owe a major part of their health to Professor Dora Akunyili.
Born in Benue State, she enjoyed a happy childhood until the death of her diabetic sister Vivian, who died from fake insulin.
The World Uniting Against Buhari’s 2nd Term Bid?
The Independent Newspaper reported yesterday, August 14, 2018, that many influential nations are joining to mount pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to discard his second term ambition. The report reads in part, “There is serious pressure on him from the international community, especially the United States, European Union, the United Kingdom (UK), and even Saudi Arabia.”
Illegal Detention Of Premium Times Reporter, Another Attempt By Buhari To Gag Free Press
In March, 2018, the Department of State Services, DSS, under President Muhammadu Buhari, arrested and detained illegally, the Abuja Bureau Chief of Daily Independent Newspapers, our own Tony Ezimakor. The DSS at that time were compelling Mr. Ezimakor and his paper to reveal the sources of a story about the alleged ransom the Buhari administration paid to Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) to release some Chibok schoolgirls abducted by them (BHT) in 2014. Following public outrage, our own Ezimakor was released unconditionally by Nigeria’s secret police.
Omarosa Turns Against Her Fellow Con, Trump
That woman seems to be a recorder in chief. Trump’s White House is a corridor of backbiters and concealed daggers. Omarosa went in with a tape recorder. It seems she’s got every inglorious bastard on
Do All Progressive Congress Politicians Understand Parliamentary Procedures?
As of now both the Senate President, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are members of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) technically (as it seems that it is only a matter of time before the Speaker defects to the PDP) a party whose majority status is not clear.
