–Vitus Ozoke Now that the World Cup excitement is gradually settling down, let’s be clear on the one thing that has become not just a story, but the story of Russia 2018. Is the Croatian president, Madam Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, a
— Sufuyan Ojeifo The resolution of three episodes of corruption between 1999 and 2005 in the federal legislature and the executive arm of government under the presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo had initially indicated the seeming gravitas of that administration. But,
–Femi Aribisala All the treachery, betrayals and double-dealings that formed the bedrock of the APC in 2014 has now come back to haunt the party in 2018. With the declaration that Kayode Fayemi has won the gubernatorial election in Ekiti,
