Bwala is an uncultured rottweiler, By Kassim Afegbua
I have just read the diatribe of one Daniel Bwala, who claims to be a Spokesman to a desperate-for-nothing of a candidate, and I had a good laugh; I laughed at his hollowness. I am happy that Bwala acknowledges that he, himself, is an unknown entity; the reason he repeatedly said he’s a Presidential Spokesman; at which job, he spends…

Celebrities, bad time and the pity party rhetoric, By Abiodun Ishola Ladepo
I know this may sound cruel or insensitive but I don’t believe it is. Whenever I see or hear pitiful stories about a former Nigerian sports, music or acting superstar who is now languishing in penury and someone is trying to raise donations for them, I ignore it.

2023: My projections, By Aliyu Tilde
Below is a table of my 2023 presidential elections vote distribution among the four principal presidential candidates. I cannot lay my hand on 2023 voter cards issued by state; so I was compelled to use the one released by 2019 believing that any variance will more or less be evenly distributed among the states.

My first warning of the year for men, By Funke Egbemode
You know, generally, women are believed to be the ones with caustic tongues. We are supposed to be the ones who have ways of talking themselves into trouble. We nag. We dare and goad men into beating us up and now turn around to call them wife batterers and even murderers. True, most of them most of the time. But…

Opinion: Tasks before Tinubu Presidency, By Kola Amzat
As Nigeria moves into the most crucial and defining state of the 2023 general elections, it’s increasingly becoming clearer where the pendulum of victory would likely swings particularly, the presidential election. With the strong momentum that APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu presently has across the country, it would be preposterous and less-imaginative for anyone to still harbor negative thought that…

Important notice: Don’t fall in love, By Basheer Luqman
If you love someone too much, your reasoning might be clouded. It will be difficult to see what’s right or wrong. For example, you might come to a point in your relationship where you will find emotional and physical abuse okay just because you love your partner. You might even find it acceptable if your partner gets a third party…

For Kwara, 2023 is about facts and relatable history
By Rafiu Ajakaye Soft-spoken, easy-to-admit his human frailties, and not given to noisemaking, Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq speaks only to give a message or deliver a blow of maximum impacts to the target. That’s what he recently did when he flagged-off the campaign for Turaki Ngeri and APC senatorial candidate for Kwara Central, Mallam Saliu Mustapha (MSM) in Ilorin. Remnants…
