Labour Party and the frivolities before presidential election tribunal, By Ghani Rotimi
The frivolities put together as Petitions have been laid bare. We are still within time to respond to PDP and will do the needful. The other 3 Petitions did not seek a return. Only LP did, albeit, on shaky grounds. Aside from the fact that the LP Petition is thin on facts, it is a carryon of the propaganda that…

Nigeria’s presidential election outcome and the foreign observer missions, By Temitope Ajayi
The outcome of Nigeria’s presidential election won by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has thrown up all kinds of analysis on social and mainstream media. A review of the post-election reportage of a section of the media with a patently nattering anti-Tinubu stance continuously project the election as “rigged” and “manipulated” in favour of the…

Send that letter to Mar-a-Lago, By Mahmud Jega
The novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s letter of last week, pleading with US President Joseph Biden not to recognize February’s presidential election in Nigeria because the candidate she supported did not win, was sent to the wrong address.

2023 elections: Tinubu, BVAS, IReV and other matters, By Temitope Ajayi
A lot have been said and written about the conduct of the 2023 Presidential Election and the March 1 final declaration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the President-elect by Professor Mahmud Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Rather sadly, some of the arguments against the conduct of the election have been outrightly ridiculous, while others tilt…

How do you treat the dinner lady? Wale Bakare
Women and men are intrinsically different. That is fact. If a man comes into a party and sees another guy wearing a similar shirt or holding a phone like his, chances are he would go over to the guy and say “Hi. You also got this phone. Quite good. Fantastic features. Do you know it can do blah blah…..”. The…

Chimamanda’s epistle of garbage, By Femi Fani-Kayode
Chimamanda Adichie’s “hollow democracy” diatribe is a shitty little submission, in a shitty little letter, written by a shitty little diva. It was hardly worth my time to read and ordinarily I would not have bothered. Like all fecal waste it belongs in one place and one place alone: the bottom of a public toilet. We do not need any…

NNPC’s prickly ‘political’ crude oil drilling, By Yemi Adebowale
Ten days back, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) lavishly celebrated the commencement of exploratory drilling of Ebenyi-A well in Obi, Nasarawa State, with the assurance that the effort would contribute to its aspiration to grow Nigeria’s crude oil reserves from 37 billion barrels to 50 billion barrels. President Muhammadu Buhari, speaking at the “spudding” of the well, the…
