SWAT Is SARS, SARS Is SWAT! By Bayo Oluwasanmi

Elwin Mandowa,
In recent days, SARS has faced unprecedented local and international media attention over several incidents in which many Nigerians have died, tortured, kidnapped, and assaulted by SARS. In response to the historic defiance of our youths to protest in towns and cities, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, said he had set up Special Weapons and Tactics team to replace… Read More

Opinion: Cry of A Sleeping Giant

Village Reporter, , , ,
Written by Femi Oluwasanmi The recent demonstrations that characterized the Nigeria’s 60th independence day’s anniversary and the continuous persecution of Nigerians in some countries abroad show that the country needs to wake up from her slumber and regain her rightful position in the comity of nations. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo had on 13th September 2020, described Nigeria as a country… Read More

#EndSARS More Of Larger Problem Than Protest By Dr Prince Charles Dickson

Elwin Mandowa,
Often people ask me why I write on certain topics and issues all the time, like bashing governments at all levels and the band of ‘confusionists’ that run them, my take on the education, health and power sector, arguments on ethnicity and the indigene question amongst others. My answer is that I do because I believe that such subjects are… Read More

Fuel Price Hike And Trade Union Negotiations By Izielen Agbon

Elwin Mandowa,
It was incorrect for the NLC and TUC leaders to agree that the fuel price hike and the deregulation of the PMS market are inevitable. The union leaders should not have agreed that market forces should determine the PMS price without the intervention of the mobilised masses of Nigerian people while the Federal Government itself was interfering in the petroleum… Read More

Restructuring And Its Deceitful Proponents By Peter Claver Oparah

Elwin Mandowa,
For the umpteenth time, I am writing about the noisy clamour for restructuring which seems to be a cure-all placebo for all manners of political discontent in Nigeria today. As in previous times I had written, I still hold onto my position that there is nothing more than political deceit around the noisome restructuring clamour and no time is that… Read More

#SARSMUSTEND Protests: How Many More People Will The Police Kill? By Seun Awogbenle

Elwin Mandowa,
Heads down, this is a sad moment to be a Nigerian. For the first time since the return of democracy in 1999, I am not sure we have witnessed a more insensitive, intolerant and completely incompetent government. The government at the centre led by President Muhammadu Buhari has not only demonstrated its cavalier disregard for the people of this country,… Read More

End SARS, Police Brutality And Extrajudicial Killings: Nigerian Youth Wither Thou By Austin Okeke Esq

Elwin Mandowa,
The Nigerian Government adopted a law criminalising torture in December 2017. However, to date, no one has been convicted of torture in a Nigerian court. Perpetrators of torture like notorious SARS continue to act with impunity, as if they are above the law. #EndSARS Youths by their nature are very enthusiastic, exuberant and restive.  It was the youth of South… Read More

From #EndSARS To #EndNigeriaNow! By Bayo Oluwasanmi

Elwin Mandowa,
Up until yesterday, when unexpectedly the feudal despot, General Muhammadu Buhari, capitulated to the will of the people and scrapped SARS, one could say democracy had ended in Nigeria.  Democracy under Buhari has become a one-man rule. Power at the center has been over centralized. He gags the media, manipulates the courts, divides the country, erased the rule of law,… Read More
