Now that he has been given a fresh invite by so-called elders of the community to visit after last week’s botched attempt, I think it is legitimate to ask what Peter Obi, the National Democratic Congress’s presidential candidate, is looking for in Yelwata, a somnolent town in Benue State, at a time when he should […]
A tale of two concerts, by Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi
The videos kept popping up online. Joyful people of all ages and races, but mostly Nigerian, singing excitedly at the top of their voices at a concert in London. They seemed to have had a blast.

I stand by President Tinubu against foreign Intervention, by Dele Sobowale
“Most of the problems a President has to face have their roots in the past” – US President Harry Truman, 1884-1972. President Harry Truman became President when Franklin Roosevelt, 1882-1945, died.

They were there gathered, from Buhari’s Decree 4 […]

Tinubu and the Tyranny of the ‘North, by Ugoji Egbujo
