Right again on 2026 budget
By Dele Sobowale Before commenting, it is vital to provide the reasons for another budgetary disaster – which has become emblematic of the way the Federal Government, under President Tinubu, is progressively ruining the nation’s future. After this failed budget, even the most die-hard apostle of the $1 trillion economy by 2030 must now see […]
Return of James Ibori
HIS achievements are as considerable as his background is somewhat murky and unclear.
Like most Nigerian leaders, questions about him remain unanswered. For example, did he go to prison before he was elected governor of Delta State? It is true that our constitution forbids ex-convicts from holding political office. Before the election, it was not clear why the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and State Security Service, SSS, were not able to establish the truth of his alleged London con
Nigerians need more, not less govt intervention

Federal government building castles in the air
Dosumu attended Baptist Academy, then on Broad Street in Lagos Island, and was so good in Bible Knowledge, he was one of few members of his set who collected distinction in BK at the Cambridge School Certificate among a string of other distinctions.

He was in the Midwest of the USA where he and Dr Kalu Idika Kalu and others made Nigeria proud by their achievements. Each collected a doctorate in his field of study. Wahab’s was Engineering.
Wike goofed at Sultan’s palace
NYESOM WIKE is one of the most outstanding politicians of the past two years or so. When his predecessor, former friend and boss, Chibuike Amaechi, as the Governor of Rivers State took the mandate the people gave him to the All Progressives Congress, APC, to fight former President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid, the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, started looking for a strong candidate to retrieve the oil-rich state from the clutches of the
