Omatseye, death threat & moderation, By Simbo Olorunfemi
Mr Sam Omatseye just reported that he has been receiving death threats from supporters of Mr Peter Obi over his article of yesterday. That is, without mincing words, condemnable and unacceptable. A threat to one is a threat at all. It is a place we should never get to. But are we there already? If not so, we are getting…

Boundary roads: Dapo Abiodun’s no-solution, By Bamidele Johnson
Inept, invisible, impotent, inert, indolent, inefficacious, indifferent and incompetent. One or more of the preceding adjectives could/ should apply to any or all of the four governors of Ogun State in the last 23 years. In the inglorious line-up are Olusegun Osoba (1999-2003), Gbenga Daniel (2003-2011), Ibikunle Amosun (2011-2019) and Dapo Abiodun (2019-). I am eligible, I believe, to speak…

Elevating political discourse series 1, By Kayode Adebiyi
I will take time to address vital concerns of genuine people concerning Tinubu’s candidature and the seemingly disorganised posture of APC as a political party. I have continually re-echo the fact that we must elevate political discourse from bullying and gross abuse of the social media platform to name call and carpet in a generalised term supporters of presidential candidates.…

Nigerians happened to Nigeria, By Odi Ikpeazu
“Art is not a mirror to hold up to societybut a hammer with which to shape it.”Leon Trotsky My friend asked me last night what I thought of Big Brother Naija, which I thought was quite cynical of him since I didn’t know why my opinion about it mattered one way or the other. Knowing that particular fellow, he will…

Obi-tuary, By Sam Omatseye
Suddenly, it is all quiet on the eastern front. No street heckles or flag waving or mooning over a yellow sun, no hooting or baying in public. The rabble no longer raves. Few wonder what happened to the Nnamdi Kanu crowd. Some may wonder if they are withering? The answer is before our eyes. The Biafran babblers are alive and…

President Buhari is overdue for impeachment, By Yemi Adebowale
A large number of senators, across party lines, showed a bit of courage last Wednesday by pushing for President Muhammadu Buhari’s impeachment in the face of the appalling security situation of beloved Nigeria. But the coldblooded President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan tactically stalled the motion to give the inept Buhari six weeks to improve the country’s security or face…

Obidient movement and its ethno-religious colouration, By Kunle Awosiyan
I was at a mechanic village inside Central Business District, Alausa Ikeja a few days ago where I spent a day to fix my car. The village is dominated by Yorubas but there is one Igbo guy who sells spare parts to them within the premises. He sells and also campaigns for Peter Obi. They call him “Obidient” and with…

Dogara’s stinking hypocrisy, By Temitope Ajayi
It is now crystal clear that Hon. Yakubu Dogara, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, now sees himself as a national political figure, who deserves to become the next Vice President of Nigeria, having become a bench warmer and a sitting duck idling away at the green chamber. As Speaker, the self-absorbed Dogara worked hand-in-gloves with Senator Bukola Saraki,…

‘Òjò ò B’ẹ́nìkan Ṣ’Ọ̀tá; Ẹni Ejí Rí L’Ejí Ńpa’, By Folabi Ogunleye
Lost in the miasma of fake sermonizing currently prevalent among Nigerian religious charlatans and their gullible following is the fact that the incumbent order of goverment leadership in Nigeria, which features a Muslo-Christian setting, has not prevented Christians or Moslems from being the recipient of sundry misfortunes or blessings, from security to economic. Lost on these folks is the lesson…
