SubscribeThe British Broadcasting Confusion (BBC), By Obi Nwakanma
I do not think the BBC is committed to truth. It became clear that the BBC perfected the subtle dance between what it has always avowed as its independence and neutrality, and its stakes within the establishment, and the protection of the key interests of the British Empire.
Obasanjo and the puppet kings, By Obi Nwakanma
It is not unheard of on such matters by Obasanjo. That is also where I draw the line with him: no man deserves to be humiliated. No man must be forced to stand up, or bow or kneel before another man.
A tribunal from hell, By Obi Nwakanma
The Nigerian judiciary is nowhere these days to expect justice. There is no doubt that there may be good men and women on the bench. But the Nigerian judiciary, once the shining armour of this nation, is now largely corrupt and incompetent; and, above all, it is brazen in both its cowardice and its impunity.
Local Governments: End the joint accounts, By Obi Nwakanma
Let it be noted right away, that the Local Government Chair is the elected head of a government in his own rights. He is an elected official of state. He is not a minion of the governor. The governor of the state is not his boss. They share power constitutionally.
Nigeria: Behold, the bagmen, By Obi Nwakanma
Nyesom Wike should not be minister of the Federal Capital Territory. He should be in jail. Why? Because he was the architect of the electoral fraud, and the forced manipulation of results in Rivers State to favor APC’s Bola Tinubu in the presidential election of 2023 which is still under dispute. His pay-off seems to […]
Dokubo’s Army, By Obi Nwakanma
The five governors of the South East of Nigeria met in Enugu last week to deliberate on the security situation of the region. The impact of the now infamous “Sit-at-Home” forced on the South East has taken its toll, and the chickens have come home to roost. The economic and social life of the South […]
Democracy and the political economy of war, By Obi Nwakanma
Mr. Ahmed Bola Tinubu, whose presidency of Nigeria is still currently in dispute and under litigation has written to the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to grant him war powers, which he intends to use in deploying the Nigerian Armed Forces to neighbouring Niger Republic, to attack it. Why? Because Tinubu disagrees with […]
The ‘bala-blu palliatives’ and other matters, By Obi Nwakanma
Bola Tinubu did not cause the economic crisis. We need to acknowledge that from the get-go. He inherited a massive debt from an administration who piled it on, right up to 24 hours before it checked out of office.
Goodbye, Nigeria? By Obi Nwakanma
The Federal Republic of Nigeria is now, to all intents and purpose, like a patient etherized on life support in hospice care. It is suffering multiple organ failure. There is just very little hope of a rebound. Anytime soon, it is bound to code. The hawks are circling. The grave diggers are ready. The obituary […]
Tinubu and the rest of us, By Obi Nwakanma
But now, to many like me, and numerous other Nigerians, Mr. Tinubu is just an interim president holding down Nigeria by force until the courts decide the legitimacy or not of his election. Nigerians hope with bated breath that the courts will assert rightful judgment and free Nigeria of this burden of legitimacy.
