But you must respect Adeosun’s decision to toe the path of honour, and resign as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In resigning, she said, “As someone totally committed to a culture of probity and accountability, I have decided to resign…” She walked her talk, rather than whine. That this naïve woman, who however chose to act honourably, has set …

It is a frightening spectacle the children of a lesser military god trapped in West Asia have learnt to endure daily as “almighty” Israel strives to impose her supremacy in the region since her unilateral declaration of statehood in 1948. Worse still, in Lebanon, local politics remains poisoned today by ethnic suspicion. Oil and gas have for long been discovered …

Nigeria will do better by learning how to commoditize culture the Lebanese way. While Lebanon has to weaponize her diversities the way Nigeria has, even if still wobbly. Besides remittance from her citizens in Diaspora, Lebanon is shrewd enough to convert her bevy of historic sites and monuments to cash cow in tourism. But Lebanon’s roughly 10,000 square meter land …

Behind the facade being strenuously made by the Oyo Government of alleged breach of extant building regulation is indeed something quite unspeakable: weighty charges of malice and prejudice against the state chief executive. Only recently, the governor himself had given hint of being under partisan pressure from within his cabinet to hurt the station for being adversarial. While featuring on …

Unlike the real economic traders, these uniformed ones have militated against our efforts at building a strong nation. They have brought distress, sorrow and tears to the Nigerian people. They have ridiculed our nation in the eyes of the international community. They are the real obstacles to the emergence of a disciplined and egalitarian nation. If our Country wishes to …

While Edo People are presently suffering from the 2018 rainy season erosion, the question is who should be held responsible …

Adams in his illegal and fake “triumphalism” boasted then that the courts cannot help you! He is also boasting now… He has said repeatedly, that the courts cannot help Saraki. He is shouting that Saraki must be impeached. He has used the police to stop Saraki from getting to the National Assembly, EFCC to intimidate Ike Ekweremadu and convert Akpabio. …

Even in the West ministerial Parliamentary model where having majority in parliament is so pivotal to running government business, there are many instances where the Speaker was chosen from a minority party. In 1992, Betty Bothroyd, the first female speaker of the House of Commons in UK was a Labor MP chosen in a Conservative-controlled House of Commons. What then …

Astrologers paint them in sometimes conflicting colors: generous yet needy of attention, forgiving yet vengeful, loyal yet flirty, and charming even though insecure. It is from such maelstrom of cosmic contradictions, we are made to believe, that the Leo persona crystallizes. While the rest of us may be handicapped to join in such astral speculations, what is however not in …

As could be inferred from Ambode’s prognosis, the renewed efforts to reclaim Apapa will remain unsustainable until we graduate from antiquity and join the modern world in the adoption of pipelines as the safest and cheapest means of transporting petroleum products. Pipeline vandalism should therefore be seen not only as an economic crime but also an existential threat to our …
