Africa’s newest president, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, of Senegal was sworn in on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 in Dakar, an event that President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria joined his colleague heads of state and other dignitaries to attend. Faye, 44, emerged from a complex process characterised by sudden paradigm shifts. For instance, out-gone President Macky Sall […]

THE territorial dispute between Okuama and Okoloba communities in Delta State is just one of the thousands of such crises in Nigeria. Okuama only became hot news reference point because of the massacre of 17 officers and men of the Nigerian Army, which took place on its soil. Nigeria is a place where government officials […]

The situation that is unfolding around some frontline gospel music artistes and some bloggers will help  teach people useful lessons about the sensitivity of social media engagement. Due to the Information and Computer Technology, ICT, age we are in, millions of people have capitalised on the allures and money-making potentials of social media applications, such […]

Almost one year on, it has become crystal-clear that the President Bola Tinubu government is acting out a pro-West script both at the domestic and regional levels. The aborted move to lead the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, countries to “flush out” the military regime from Niger Republic was not motivated by our […]

We join people of good conscience and the displaced indigenes of embattled Okuama and other communities taking refuge in the creeks to plead with the Federal and Delta State governments to intervene and ensure their safe return to their communities.

Nigeria, a country richly blessed with a wide array of solid, liquid and gaseous minerals, has found it increasingly difficult to earn its due incomes from these endowments due mainly to insecurity, corruption, theft and sabotage. The oil and gas sector, which has been the mainstay of our economy for over 50 years, has failed […]

The calls for the promulgation of a brand-new Constitution for the Federal Republic of Nigeria are growing. Our 1999 Constitution has never been a darling of the more progressive sections of our society because it is seen essentially as a military decree imposed on Nigerians by the departing transitional regime of General Abdulsalami Abubakar. Some […]

The third arm of government saddled with administering our criminal justice system should not in any way be tied to the apron strings of any of the other arms except within the principle of mutual checks and balances for maximum performance.

On Wednesday last week, the Senate advocated for the prosecution of parents who fail to send their children to school in line with the Universal Basic Education Act.

Members from almost, if not all, the six geo-political zones have submitted requests or bills to the National Assembly for the creation of a federal-funded regional body for the development of their geopolitical zones.
