Concert is not planned and executed in a day. It takes days for pre-event activities like venue, security arrangement, media and online publicity to be put in place. Choice of the artiste and artiste presence may be the most important  but it’s just an item among other pre-event items that are executed by any concert organiser, not secretly on the… Read More

By now, most people have read the story of the scuffle that occurred between Mrs. Aisha Buhari, her children, and her security aides on one hand and Sabi’u “Tunde” Yusuf, son of Buhari’s niece who also works as his private secretary, on the other hand, which caused Aisha’s ADC to shoot at Sabiu inside the Presidential Villa, narrowly missing him.… Read More

Yeye people, the Abobaku orchestra in concert with the league of lousy “do nothing Nigerians” foolishly endorsed the midnight arrest and detention of Omoyele Sowore. They senselessly barked: “Sowore should not have mentioned the word “Revolution” in their veiled conspiracy  to defend Muhammadu Buhari’s regime tyranny and intolerance of peaceful protest.

Ibrahim Magu, Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, escaped the axe by the gators last week. He was nearly fired. The EFCC chief’s nearly five-year incumbency has been a wild play of intrigues, distraction and confusion. I recall in 2016 when the senate declined to confirm his appointment, citing a DSS report, which was damnatory in complexion.… Read More

I have restrained myself from taking to the dance floor in the unfolding drama of the NBA election, and had contented myself with waiting for the Appeals Committee of the Bar, before getting involved. Chidi Odinkalu’s ill informed, puerile, and asinine missive against Sherubawon, is what has brought me into the fray, much earlier than I had intended.  Chidi is… Read More
