Looking Beyond The Brick -and -Mortar Classroom In Nigeria By Olabisi Deji-Folutile

Again, we had a bit of good news as regards the education sector this week with the commencement of assessment of Nigerian universities to determine their readiness for resumption by the National Universities Commission. This was in addition to seeing school doors open again early in the week for students in exit classes to enable them to prepare for their… Read More

Nigeria: China And Our Sovereignty Question By Tony Ademiluyi

From time immemorial, nations have had the quest to be sovereign with their affairs governed with autochthony rather than externally. The rise and fall of the great world empires like the Greek, Roman, Persian, Babylonian etc have their roots in the desire by mortals to resist foreign domination and oppression. Coming down to Nigeria, there was a crisis in 1961… Read More

#RevolutionNow: This Too Shall Pass By Adebayo Raphael

Whilst poring through the heart-wrenching images that emerged on different social media fora concerning the RevolutionNow protests yesterday, one could at once see the bestiality of those who should protect the sanctity of Nigeria’s democracy; those who should tirelessly protect the lives and rights of Nigerians – violating all with no modicum of reservation – serving as irredeemable instruments of oppression, and… Read More

#RevolutionNow: From DSS To Police, My Encounter With A Nigerian On The Verge Of A Revolution By Ayoola Babalola

Today, I had the second DSS encounter as we gathered for the #RevolutionNow protests in Abeokuta, Kuto roundabout.  I was arrested at around 11:55 am and immediately whisked to the state Headquarters of the agency. Just like the government that gives it orders, the agency itself is clueless. We engaged in discussions for more than an hour. I was later… Read More

Buhari’s Love For Terrorists Vs Hatred For Peaceful Protesters By Ajiboye Amos Olakunle

It is a great achievement as Nigerians are beginning to see the handwritings on the wall. Our leader has publicly displayed a lack of interest for peace. A nation that intentionally breeds terrorists for ‘personal’ use, where leaders breeds and keeps terrorists as though in a poultry/farm where they’re kept for growth. It is painful that the democracy we fought… Read More

Police Can Truly Be Our Friends! By Adeola Soetan

Walahi. I love this policeman. Kudos to the best RevolutionNow protester of the day! By class identity, police is truly our friend if not for the tyranny of government that brutalised and dehumanised them to become bestial against their class interest and same members of their poor class. I like this policeman who was tactically protesting peacefully against insecurity and… Read More

What Africa Can Learn From India In Dealing With China By Bishoy Sadek

The recent standoff between the two Asian nuclear powers, India and China, spawned 20 dead Indian soldiers alongside a shackled prime minister in Delhi seeking to save face. As a retaliatory measure, seemingly nothing short of charade though, India’s Modi mandated banning 50 Chinese mobile applications including TikTok and WeChat. Considerable number of analysts recount India’s response as sheer symbolic… Read More

When Will Buhari Show Leadership And End The Killings? By Seun Awogbenle

After going through the major news headline on the front page of most newspapers today, I had only one conclusion, that the President is unaware of the scale, consistency and ferocity of the killings happening in the country, particularly the Northern region! Most of the headlines read inter alia, “Buhari orders rejig of the nation’s security architecture”. For a second,… Read More
