Everything wrong with Nigeria, by Emeka Obasi

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. […]

Obi must not die! By Emeka Obasi

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 […]

D.O. Martins dancing @90, by Emeka Obasi

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.

Alausa and bandit historians, by Emeka Obasi

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 […]

From Sarr to Laryea, by Emeka Obasi

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.

Anthony Joshua’s Nigeria story, by Emeka Obasi

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 […]

South – East Ready For 2027, by Emeka Obasi

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 […]

Biafra: Stop the noise! By Emeka Obasi

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 […]
