“Nigerians, this is who we truly are: Self centered “terrorists”, “hostage takers” and “blackmailers. The Nigerian nation is gradually being held in bondage by ‘citizen activism’ and ‘unionism’ for self centered reasons.I am an activist and believe in unionism, but what we practice in Nigeria now is NOT in anyway reflective of the founding principles of activism. Imagine workers resisting…

Cleaning black money in Nigeria as national imperative, By Tope Fasua
I was going to really join issues with one of Nigeria’s top economists and member of the president’s economic advisory committee – Mr. Bismarck Rewane. But I will now tone things down a little because he’s been out calling for those who have taken his presentations out of context to correct themselves. But I doubt if he was really taken…

Jaiz Bank: A rose that grew from concrete, By Karounwi Adini
Jaiz Bank is 10 Already! So Fast! I remember the furore over Islamic Banking/Non-Interest Banking when CBN granted the license under Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Articles upon articles on newspapers threatening fire and brimstone over an ‘Islamization agenda’. Chief Frederick Fasehun, founder of OPC before then accusing Sanusi of being devoted to Arabic and Sharia studies, launching a personal campaign for…

Are Peter Obi’s supporters losing oxygen? By Fredrick Nwabufo
Like the breaking of every phantasmagoria, the futility of chasing a will-o-the-wisp soon becomes clear. It may take a while, but even the fog of illusion gives way for common sense when the blistering light of reality hits. The Peter Obi presidential bid is a dream of which time has not come. Is it good to dream? Yes. But while…

Magnus Abe and the road not taken, By Blessing Wikina
When he wrote this great didactic Poem, titled The Road Not Taken Robert Frost never had Magnus Abe, Chibuike Amaechi, and Nyesom Wike in mind. What was uppermost on his mind were the options of choices, and the alternatives of making decisions when faced with crossroads. Events may shape men, but they do not remove the options of choice, and…

Wike, Rivers people are happy? By Yemi Adebowale
Comical Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State never ceases to amaze me. Call him a bully and you would be right. I always add “modern day Benito Mussolini” to his depiction. This man rules the state with an iron fist. I just laughed after watching his reaction to my expose of him on this page last week. I clearly heard…
