Anytime I drive to a petrol station, the pump price of products turns my insides out. Instead of enjoying windfall from crisis in the Middle East, Nigerians are forced to pay more for fuel. Citizens of a major oil producing nation are weeping, in the midst of plenty. President Bola Tinubu should not take all the blame. […]

When those who get carried away by leadership begin to play God, it signals the beginning of a new chapter for the opposition. Whoever chose Benin City as the place to frighten the hell out of Peter Obi must be a dunderhead. The timing was  doomed, from the onset. In July 2014, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, then preparing […]

All gratitude to God to see a 90 – year – man stand on his feet, move like a Sandhurst trained subaltern and dance better than most of his contemporaries. Engineer David Oladipo Williams, known to everyone as DO, is just a decade away from 100 years. DO who resides overseas, was in Lagos recently to celebrate […]

I picked interest in Minister of Education, Maruf Tunji Alausa right from his appointment as minister of Education by president Bola Tinubu. His Chicago background bought me over when it is highlighted that he spent time at Cook County Hospital ( now known as The John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County). Over three decades ago, there […]

Religion will play a huge role in the 2027 presidential election as the world continues to watch events unfold in Nigeria, a plural society of diverse ethnic nationalities and multifarious interest groups presently grappling with imbalance. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must find a way to wriggle himself out of the Muslim/Muslim ticket that the All Progressives Congress […]

There is always something new out of Morocco. In 1988 Mauritanian referee, Idrissa Sarr was the story all over Nigeria following his questionable calls in the grand finale of the African Nations Cup between Nigeria and Cameroon. In 2026, Daniel Laryea of Ghana is the new Sarr. Laryea was at the centre when hosts, Red Atlas […]

Orphaned when parental care was most needed, the children of Brigadier Samuel Adesujo Ademulegun and his spouse, Latifat Feyisitan Abike ( nee Ekemode – Noble ) are at sea about the burial site of their parents who were murdered sixty years ago, in Kaduna.

His love for parents’ country of of birth is rock solid. Anthony Joshua deserves our support in this period of grief following a traffic accident that claimed the lives of his friends,, Latif Kevin Ayodele and Sina Ghemi  on the Lagos – Ibadan highway. The height of patriotism is to believe in your country, irrespective of the […]

I see Nigeria’s light come shining in 2027 with President Bola Tinubu wearing the garb of a true Statesman, determined to bring the much desired change that will permanently bring the Civil War which began in 1967, to a deserved end. Tinubu’s way to the top may still be a subject of scrutiny but what […]

People sacrificed their lives fighting for you, many wasted their active years in the bush only to be abandoned at the end of the  Civil War. The effects are here now, MASSOB, IPOB, power drunk 419ers, there will be no peace until we remember those who died defending Ndigbo. My message is clear. Until the Igbo, as […]

War, they say, is a series of surprises. Those who dread death stay away from it, this is enough reason to salute our heroes, including Brig. General Musa Uba ,who go to battle, bent on keeping compatriots safe from invaders and terrorists. Uba, Commanding Officer, 25 Task Force Brigade was lost in an ambush by Islamic State […]

These are indeed trying times when we must stay away from the usual local propaganda that will only harden the minds of those who should mean well for all of us. American president Donald Trump is on the same page with president Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The big deal here is insecurity. Indeed Nigeria is under siege. […]

The atmosphere went back fifty years as the hall was filled with boys and girls who exited Maryland Comprehensive Secondary School, Lagos in 1975. They refer to themselves as Landers. I landed at Zen Garden Chinese Restaurant, Ikeja GRA, with this class. The 1975 set was celebrating 50 years of Great Reunion. I was invited by Captain […]

Those who do not know Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe are missing out in so many areas. The Obi of Onitsha, a lover of Arts and Culture, is as polished as the most exposed diplomat and knows almost everything about global oil economy. Ojinnaka Obi Asika, Director – General of National Council for Arts and Culture, […]
