Justice Waziri’s bizarre remarks on Plateau PDP’s candidates in the 2023 elections, By Steve Daniel
Let me start by stating that I write not to represent any political affiliation but to critically examine the recent remarks attributed to one Justice Abdulaziz Waziri of the Court of Appeal, regarding the nullification of all People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidates in Plateau State in the 2023 elections. These remarks, as reported by Sahara Reporters and other national media…

Bridging the gap: addressing energy poverty, inequality in Nigeria through renewable energy
Lack of electricity in Nigeria critically affects the overall development of its economy. The country has the world’s largest absolute electricity access deficit, with 45 per cent of the population (90 million) lacking access to the electricity grid, a recent World Bank report states. Large disparities exist in access to electricity between urban areas (84 per cent) and rural ones…

Portable: The reason for the season, By Bamidele Johnson
The visually-offensive Portable and Pasuma, from media reports, performed at a Celestial Church of Christ Thanksgiving event. Some way to thank and praise Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah El-Shaddai, who must have found it breathtakingly edifying to see His alleged children get drunk on music by the two musicians, one of whom is weapons-grade bonkers. But credit where due. So, thumbs up…

Wike, Fubara and the Kerfuffle in Rivers, By Simbo Olorunfemi
There has to be a greater chance that the demolition of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex might actually have something to do with failure of integrity test, as has been put out by the demolition squad, than that the kerfuffle in the state could possibly have anything to do with the good and welfare of the people. It…

Amanze Obi’s spiral of lies, By Bayo Onanuga
On Monday 11 December, I stumbled on the 6th, in the series of opinions about the last general election being peddled by Daily Sun columnist, Amanze Obi.

For Buhari, the kind hearted toughie at 81, By Femi Adesina
From his days as an iron fisted military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari had cut the image of a brutal, no nonsense person, without a drop of milk of human kindness. Not so. People often condemn who or what they don’t understand. Yes, he can be reserved, aloof, unflappable, and even stern. I remember when news of Bukola Saraki’s defection, along with…

Wike’s own goal, By Bolaji Adebiyi
The defection by 27 legislators loyal to the federal capital territory minister was a tactical error, writes Bolaji Adebiyi Hostilities resumed in Port-Harcourt earlier in the week with the defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress by 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to Nyesom Wike, erstwhile governor of the state and…

Rivers political impasse: Wike declaration of war against Ijaw Nation is a joke taken too far, By Wisdom Ikuli
Barr. Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike the self-acclaimed political leader of the Niger Delta is doing everything to give ethnic coloration to his unguided, misdirected political onslaught against his successor Gov. Siminalayi Joseph Fubara KSC of Rivers State, but such attempts have failed because Nigerians know that his actions are driven by greed and his quest to hold on to power even…

Saints, SANs and sinners, By Dare Babarinsa
The honour of becoming a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) has not lost its allure despite its age on the Nigerian scene. The SAN is an affirmation that Nigeria is a great country on the African continent and our strength are the people of Nigeria, the men and women who give substance and meaning to our ‘Nigerianess’. The list this…
