Of late, former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has come under heavy media flogging from various persons, journalism unions and top columnists, condemning his attitude towards a Daily Trust journalist, Eyo Charles, during a press conference. Without attempting to belabour the issue, I wish to recall how the incident happened as well as the attendant media backlash. First, it is instructive… Read More

Nigeria was expected to be better after it’s tragic, genocidal civil war came to a dramatic close in 1970. It was called a civil war just because it was fought amongst compatriots. Yet, in concept, execution and dimension, there was nothing civil about it. It was vicious, attritional and sans any compatriot spirit. There was no guarantee that Igbos or… Read More

The renewed interest in the crisis that continues to rock Southern Kaduna would be helpful if it produces a genuine effort at resolving the problem and ensuring lasting peace in that part of the country that remains troubled, divided and to all intents and purposes, a killing field.

Societies have different systems for resolving disputes — negotiation, mediation, arbitration and adjudication.  In primitive societies like Nigeria, justice is not the highest priority. Nigeria is a stateless primitive society where justice takes forever. It is against this backdrop that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s (Pastor RUGA) address at the annual National… Read More

The economic shutdown brought about lower production, supply, and demand. Supply chains were severely compromised. The supply of secure transportation dropped and the cost skyrocketed and these were factored into retail prices. Reduced sales volumes forced… Read More

The so-called Igbo struggle is an enterprise. Individuals from the South-East, who find themselves in position of political influence, hawk the ‘’Igbo agitation’’ as merchandise in self-seeking ventures. These politicians pursue personal gains robed in the collective agenda.
