By Now Peter Mutharika is saying “I told you so” – Idriss Nassar

Village Reporter,
By Idriss Nassar Betrayal is when those that came to power through a revolution suddenly embrace and become comfortable in what they (seemingly) vehemently opposed not too long ago—grand theft, corruption, looting, cronyism, love of power for power’s sake, unexplained sudden wealth, primitive accumulation, hostility and intolerance toward opposing views, state capture by a coterie of dubious characters, hero worshipping,… Read More

Talking Blues: Mr President, spare us from scandalous diplomats

Global Author,
By Mapwiya Muulupale “A sincere diplomat is like dry water or wooden iron” – Joseph Stalin. Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) was the dictator of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) from 1929 to 1953. He transformed the Soviet Union from a peasant society like ours into an industrial and military superpower. However, his reign of terror killed millions of Russians. That… Read More

#BuhariMustGo — A Revolutionary Movement Against The Unseen Reality By Tunde Akingbondere

Elwin Mandowa,
I got a disturbing call yesterday from home. I couldn’t bring myself to reckon with the level parents and relatives have internalised the idea of safety. They try as much as possible to monitor, follow and poke some curious nose into the affairs of those they hold so dear. My mum was desperate about knowing if I was still in… Read More

Nigeria’s Terror On Igbos: Comments on the NINAS “Cease And Desist” Caution to Buhari and ESN/IPOB By Ndidi Uwechue

Elwin Mandowa,
The unusual sense of responsibility shown by Tony Nnadi, Secretary-General of the Lower Niger Congress, speaking on behalf of NINAS, the Alliance of indigenous peoples of the South and Middle Belt of Nigeria, provides the ORDERLY solution that can prevent the real possibility of requiring a costly Blue Helmets (United Nations Peacekeeping Force) intervention to quell the increasing armed conflict… Read More

ARISE Television And The Buhari Interview That Should Have Been By Achike Chude

Elwin Mandowa,
It came out of the blues. Nobody expected it, having got used to the president’s aversion in recent years, to either talking to Nigerians through a nationwide address, or through a media interactive session. An opportunity came knocking, some months ago, when the National Assembly invited the president over the ongoing insecurity in the land – an invitation the presidency… Read More

June 12th: Nigeria’s Leadership – The People’s Nemesis By Pelumi Olajengbesi Esq.

Elwin Mandowa,
June 12th is no ordinary date in Nigerian history. It embodies the sacrifices that have been made over the years for the democracy (or semblance of same) that we now enjoy, further serving as a timely reminder of the ills of military autocracy.  Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (MKO), a Yoruba Muslim on a joint ticket with fellow Muslim, Babagana… Read More

June 12th: Festival Of The Oppressed Requires No Approval From A Dictator By Seyi Oyetunbi

Elwin Mandowa,
When things go really awful, the Yoruba people would wail the “eku oke bi eku – eye oke bi eye ” dictum. Meaning “the rodents and birds no longer sound like they do.” I consider this as the most appropriate idiom to sum up the situation of things across all sectors in Nigeria under the Buhari-led-administration.   If Buhari understands that… Read More

What Twitter Ban Teaches The World About Nigeria By Azu Ishiekwene

Elwin Mandowa,
The Nigerian government thinks Twitter is the greatest source of its misery. After straining at the leash for months, it couldn’t resist swatting the microblogging platform with a ban last week.  But what does the ban mean, really? It means that about 40 million users in Nigeria who are mostly young people would be unable to access the service through local service… Read More
